He let up two runs in June... I thought he's been good lol
That's good to hear but I must have missed it.

Good wins by the Bucs.

De Jong has incredible numbers it seems? He was relatively terrible today

Wonder what the record time is from bat to over the fence for a HR. Damn Cruz looks legendary. Straight smoldering

De Jong has incredible numbers it seems? He was relatively terrible today
Pretty sure that was a combo of small sample size and garbage time work. Put that guy in a leverage situation on a routine basis and see how it goes.

Holistically, the bullpen is extremely shallow. The rotation has been oddly competent for a while, getting Thompson back will also be good. I assume Quintana will be moved for whatever, and unfortunately we can’t assume they will actually try to address that in free agency in a meaningful way. Between lyles, Anderson and now Quintana, it does seem like whatever organizational ability to find decent starters on the bargain bin has carried over from NH. So, the same reason that volquez was a good signing almost years ago, whatever rotation guy they bring in will be better than the price tag.

Offensively, I do think the impact of Cruz’s power can’t be understated. So between Hayes, Reynolds and Cruz, that’s three plus offensive players at key positions, then a whole ton of interchangeable parts, and the difference between a Kevin Newman and Diego Castillo or a Chavis and a tsutsugo is too small to concern oneself with and I think the only hope is that there is enough baseball in 2022 for these parts to arrange themselves.

Then in September give bae, swaggerty and Martin (and Mitchell some more time) some chances to show something, otherwise the 2022 prospect wave has arrived (probably the best one since mccutchen, walker and Alvarez).

Obviously the “pirates optimist”, but I am interested. If they can figure something out with this collection of players (consider what the brought up from brandenton this year), and hang around for a couple months in 2023, then things get real imo. Cause next year you’ll have Davis, Gonzalez, peguero, priester and burrows all pushing for call ups.

Suwinski has some pop. Cruz pulled the same pitch he just did for his first HR and everyone thought he was superhuman. Very impressive don't get me wrong but Suwinski just won't get that attention

Tell them exactly what I said. I haven't competed for a job since 1991. Bell left the team on March 29, was released on March 31, and never played in the majors again. The Pirates ended up paying him $4.5 million not to play for them.

I mean it's good to have the park filled regardless, but if this were any other team in town on a Tuesday night there would be like 10-12k there at best.

Fun game. It was packed. Half Yankees fans I'd guess. 2 full innings in line to get nachos. Staff seemed flummoxed
