I'd be surprised if there weren't many teams in that same boat. That's the new league.
Separately, what's the lowest RBI total for the Pirates team leader in a single season? Right now hayes and Reynolds are tied with 35.

Only two other teams have more strikeouts - the Angels and the Braves.
The Pirates have used 59 players so far this season, which leads MLB.

How do I find out about RBI? I can't find it anywhere. 35 at the 2/3 point extrapolates to ~50 lol

Dammit, now I'm intrigued. I was able to find RBI leaders by year for the entire league on baseball almanac, but can't do it by team only. The same tool you can get the RBI leader by year by team, but you'd have to pull each year individually instead of getting all years all at once.How do I find out about RBI?

Couldn't find the exact answer (lots of RBI breakdowns but none related to this), but the 1972 Rangers set the AL record for fewest RBI as a team; 1942 Phillies set it for the NL. 1942 Phillies were lead by Danny Litwhiler with 56 RBIs in 627 PAs (.089 per). Danny Murtaugh killed it that year with 27 RBIs in 580 PAs (.0466 per).How do I find out about RBI? I can't find it anywhere. 35 at the 2/3 point extrapolates to ~50 lol
1972 Rangers were led by C Dick Billings with 58 in 509 PAs (.114). 1B Don Mincher was at .1605 RBI per plate appearance and CF Elliot Maddox had a staggering 10 RBIs in 349 PAs (.0287).
I don't see how someone would have significantly more RBI on a similarly low scoring team.
Hayes is currently at .0833 RBI/PA and Reynolds is at .091. ulf's boy Oneil Cruz is at .1835 per and the dude who somehow nails Vanessa Hudgens is at .0317. Comparing historically, Hayes and Reynolds are pretty on par with other terrible run scoring teams.
Edit: I completely misread your original post, but regardless...
Max Carey had 51 RBI in 668 PAs (.076) for the 1917 Pirates team that went 51-103-3 with 396 RBIs. Modern era is tough. Dave Parker and Orlando Merced had low RBIs in shortened seasons, but even then Merced was at 51 in 432 (.118). The 1985 Pirates were led by Johnny Ray with 70 and the 2010 Buccos had Garrett Jones with 86.
I think the answer might lie with the fantastic 2009 Pirates. Sleepy John Russell led the team to a 62-99 record. 612 RBI as a team, led by the great Andy LaRoche with 64 (.1085). I think we're witnessing historic futility this season.

Good finds! Might tweet it at one of the pirates writers and let them get the official answer for us

MLB should release their stats for free and then I could have answered this.

I'm wondering if he'll be disciplined by the MLB front office. I mean you aren't supposed to have electronic devices in the dugout. I doubt it was intentional, but still.
I can imagine him being discombobulated - called up from AAA, scrambling to get to Arizona, in an unfamiliar locker room, probably trying to call family back in the DR to tell them to watch the game, and forgot to put his phone in his locker during the pregame madness. But still.

I imagine he'll get a small fine. The clubhouse kangaroo court will have a field day with it though lol

That reminds me of something. I was making dinner and my 16 year old son was having a snack and watching Jomboy videos on his phone for about 15-20 minutes. Is that normal? I mean, I've watched the one-off Pirates or Steelers Jomboy video over the years and enjoyed it, but I can't imagine sitting there and watching him for that a long period of time with teams I don't follow or care about. It gets grating? Annoying? Or is that because I'm old?
Your 2022 Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Thread
It depends.
Jomboy break down clips are great and can be watched in series.
Jomboy original content, like The Weekly Dumb, is gratingly bad.

It's a fun time to play around with the prospects. After a sketchy start to the year and some key top guys getting injured or performing poorly, the system has actually progressed nicely. Some of these guys have graduated and some lower level guys I skipped.
High Reward Low Risk:
Cruz
Contreras
High Reward Medium Risk:
Johnson, Davis, Peguero, Priester, Gonzales, Endy, Burrows
High Reward High Risk:
Solometo, Chandler, Lopez
Jimenez, Jones, Nolasco
Medium Reward Low Risk:
Nunez, Mitchell, Suwinski, Bae, Castillo, Castro, Swaggerty, Marcano, Njigba, Madris
Medium Reward Medium Risk:
Gorski Gutierrez Nicolas Bolton Mlodz Chen Garcia McGough Bowen Thomas Scott Fraizer Cheng Linarez Del Rosario Sullivan Triolo Sabol Alvarez Martin Ortiz Oviedo
High Reward Extreme Risk:
Polanco White Bishop De Los Santos Terrero Jerez Harrington Kennedy Campana Escotto (some pitchers could be here with great stuff and k/9 but no control in low levels)
Medium Reward High Risk:
Head (more like high reward medium risk am i right)

Priester's progression this year has made me a little more optimistic about the future of the staff. Priester-Roansy-Keller might be a decent start to something
