The saddest part about the Broxton trade is that the current Pirates team is in a situation where they miss Keon Broxton.

I think the idea behind DK's site is great. With solid widespread coverage and not having the general well-being of an entire newspaper/news organization hanging over the sports dept they could do some great things. That said DK is much too sensitive and seems like a controlling maniac. I subscribed...

We had a few no shows at our wedding. I only remember one of them, it was a dick move to no-show without any call/text but he got a ton of crap from all of our other friends for it. We still talk to this day though, no point in holding a grudge, imo.

DJ, Spieth, and Rory a combined +10. Rory the worst offender at +6 thus far. Jason Day and his +7 wants to be included too!! Funny how Rory said what he said about the fairways and the fescue on Tuesday and yet, he spent most of the day hitting out of the crap. You go off line here and you'll pay t...

They better hope the wind picks up and the course dries out for the weekend.

Really weird to see Spieth missing so many putts, so used to seeing him knock a few of those 15 footers in by now, he's doing everything but putt right now. Also, DJ looks terrible.

Spieth hasn't been putting well. His irons have been on point for the most part, he gets he putter going and he'll be just fine.

No dollar value, it's based on OWGR tiers.

1 player between #1-6, 1 - #7-13, 1 - #14-20 and 2 #21+

In my pool I took: DJ, Sergio, Kisner, Koepka, Pieters.

It wasn't a save situation once it became a save situation Hurdle is obligated to use Watson. He's not really capable of handling it any other way.

Yeah I think you can expect a slight decline in performance as a closer and get away with it just because it's a tougher spot to be put in. My concern with Watson is his started before he got the closer job and has gotten a little worse since. If he'd still been lights out as a set-up guy and you co...

I think he's still tradeable as well and agree that teams aren't looking at him as a closer. But I also think they'll need to see him put up good stats again whether it's as a closer or not to get good value back for him. Even at the start of last season he wasn't as good as he had been, which is to...

I can't decide which I'm saltier about: Watson costing the Pirates games or torpedoing his trade value. Given the outlook of the season it's most likely the latter.

In either case Rivero is filthy and watching him is the highlight of any Pirate game for me.

I had a small dog for 12 years (put him to sleep 6 months ago due to cancer/tumors). My wife and I are looking at big dogs this time around so I guess we'll need one of those big crates? We never had to use one for our little dog but it seems like these big dogs all love them. When you guys go out ...

Went to City Works last night before the game. Great beer selection. Worth going there for the beer selection alone. Didn't have dinner, but we bought the appetizers. The Firecracker roll and the buffalo shrimp were quite good. Pretzel bites were good, very buttery. And came with gouda dipping sauc...

He stinks and shouldn't be hitting 3. However it's kinda like if you had a big crater in your yard so you start digging another hole to fill that one. Well, you still have a big gaping hole Sure, the gaping hole is Cutch and wherever you put him you've got a problem both offensively and defensively...

Cutch really needs to be moved down in the lineup. What's the worst that can happen by doing it, he can't outwardly sulk anymore than he already is.

Yes, it'll work just fine, my macbook is 7 years old and is running the current OS.

I don't consider Pirates Prospects real journalists, mostly because Tim Williams is a horrible writer. I'd stumble through his articles when they were free but there's no way I'd pay a cent to read someone with his writing skill.

There's a difference between this NBA playoffs and most years. This year is especially anticlimactic but on average the NBA playoffs are just as good of a product as the NHL. The NBA typically keeps getting better by round and the best teams keep advancing. Makes the early rounds less interesting th...

Speaking of trades, let's hope they dump Marte after the 2019 season. I'm curious to see what kind of reception he gets when he comes back to PNC If Nutting is going to keep the team and insist on making a profit :pop: :slug: , I want them to do the small market thging properly: be ruthless about t...

Yes the general consensus would have to be in this order (most to least likely) Trade Cutch Decline Cutch's option Pay Cutch $14 million Another good post by beerman I couldn't imagine the yinzer Nutting outrage if they declined his option The problem is there is only one option that won't result i...

I don't think the strike zone needs to be on the screen at all times, but Root is horrible at showing borderline pitches in a timely or consistent manner.

I was thinking last night on my way home from the game, what's more likely: trading Cutch or declining his option for next year and letting him walk? The latter was completely unthinkable a year ago. With the way the season is going I think they try and move him in July and someone in desperate need...

The biggest impact of Marte being out is defensively. They have someone below average at all 3 OF spots now and severely below average in RF depending on who they throw out there.

Polanco seemed okay in RF but is just a disaster in LF.

He can be really tough to watch at times and he's put some stress on the pen and other starters to try and make it deeper in games. That being said I think they have to ride it out with him and get him a minimum 12-15 starts on fairly regular rest at the MLB level. I really think he's got nothing wo...
