2024 Pirates Season Thread

Brandon Inge/Brandon Wood vibes

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

Rowdy and Brandon inge have extremely similar stat lines during the tenures as pirates

[Troy Loney]

Bae getting called up.

End of an era, rip to rowdy tellez’s pirate career. Should have kept vogelbach

[shafnutz05]

Lol

[Troy Loney]

They sent Ryder ryan down. I think this is just roster machinations, can go with the shorter bullpen after the off day. But will make another move later this week.

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

Well I foresee rowdy hitting well against a pretty good righty in the form of Logan Webb tonight.

[King Colby]

Mackey has had a tough year. Over eager with his sourced info

[iamjs]

[King Colby]

What a win!

[Ad@m]

[faftorial]

Cruz makes up for his first inning boner.

[willeyeam]

The vibes are turning around and Oneil Cruz is hitting the baseball pretty hard

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

Hot take: Cruz is more entertaining than skenes

Those were absolute piss missiles tonight. He hit the ball so hard it cost him a double early in the game and it cost them a run in the 9th inning. Incredible

It's the G funk era

[LeopardLetang]

Davis hr and 2b. I know 2 were off a position player but now has 4hr and an ops over 1.000

Nunez with his 5th hr showing life

Peguero batting .292 .755

Gorski huh. Going all out this year with 6bb and 36k but 6hr now and ops 884

Combined with last year at AAA
166ab 10 doubles 4 trip 9hr

6'2 YDLS struggled in his promotion to bradenton last year as an 18 yo but hitting well again this year in the FCL. Last year batted .328 in 67ab. This year .400 in 47ab. He has 40sb in 427ab

Severino 19 in the FCL 39ab 3hr 4db 1tp .385 1.236

[DigitalGypsy66]

Grandal left the game after his trip around the bases in the ninth, so Hank could be back up sooner rather than later.

[King Colby]

Snell was pretty bad before going to the IL last month. Which means he will likely go 7 innings of 1-hit ball with double digit Ks

[Troy Loney]

I don't remember the last time I went to bed assuming they'd lose, and wake up with a win.

[Troy Loney]

6'2 YDLS struggled in his promotion to bradenton last year as an 18 yo but hitting well again this year in the FCL. Last year batted .328 in 67ab. This year .400 in 47ab. He has 40sb in 427ab

Severino 19 in the FCL 39ab 3hr 4db 1tp .385 1.236

Guessing it was a playing time issue that kept him in the complex league to start.

But I would definitely note that YDLS, Terrero, and Severino look too good for that level of competition. And there are some guys in Bradenton that are flopping and likely non-prospects (Shalin Polanco the only real notable one), so those guys need to move up.

[LeopardLetang]

They pretty much already replaced everyone at bradenton after the atrocious start and since they've been the hottest offense in the league (except Polanco and Rivas)

They've gotten solid performances from all kinds of guys now

Maguire
Bishop
Harrison
Eddyrod
Valdez
Forrester
Delgado
Jerez
Alfonso
Campana and now Plaz


Terrero will go to greensboro. But yeah nearly time to give up on Rivas again and get those 2 up to play short and third

[Troy Loney]

I think Plaz was an emergency callup to Bradenton. He stunk last year after mashing in the DSL in '22.

Forrester as a college hitter, seems like that's a low level for him to be playing.

[LeopardLetang]

Agreed with Forrester. Yeah wasn't sure what stage Plaz is in. Ydls stunk last year too after call up. Maybe cook him a bit more. It's a big jump. Rivas does fine in the complex but puts up the worst numbers in the league 2 years in a row at bradenton

[shafnutz05]

Bad Chapman is back

[willeyeam]

Damn it
