30 stolen bases last year I read.

Headline on the trib's website today: Can the Pirates' starting rotation keep team afloat?

I can answer the question: No.

Yesterday they asked if the offense can make up for the shortcomings of the pitching.

They usually ask this every year, it's always the same answer and outcome.

So if we get no specific injury update, we just assume COVID, right?

With Polanco? No

With Polanco? No

Lets keep in mind that this is a grown ass man and professional ballplayer that incurred a serious knee injury and serious shoulder injury.....on the same slide

Polanco for me, has just become a non-entity to the team, which stinks.

Postby **DigitalGypsy66** » Thu Jul 16, 2020 8:58 am

I remember how hyped we all were when he started to make his way up through the minors. A friend of mine from work - a lifelong Reds fan - raved about his swing and arm strength. And now...blah.

Apparently Ke'Bryan Hayes has also not shown up yet.

Today in pirates headlines:

"Pirates Thin in OF for Now"

Postby **faftorial** » Fri Jul 17, 2020 2:20 pm

Gregory Polanco has tested positive for covid-19, Pittsburgh Pirates manager Derek Shelton confirmed Friday afternoon after receiving consent from the right fielder to reveal the news.

Postby **willeyeam** » Fri Jul 17, 2020 2:25 pm

For now

Postby **Morkle** » Fri Jul 17, 2020 2:44 pm

Had you not told me who tested positive, I'd have just assumed it was Polanco.

Nobody else watching the game tonight? I didn't know about it but it popped up on my DVR. Musgrove looked good. Offense looks weak.

Postby **faftorial** » Sat Jul 18, 2020 9:09 pm

Not sure I like the Fort on the broadcast but he's better than the yinzer.

The piped in crowd noise are not bad. Mostly it's the din of the crowd.

I've been listening on the radio. Block is still not my favorite.

Too sarcastic? He has the announcer voice down. The Fort talks too much and has talked over play.
