Pirates 2023

[stillerfaninfl]

Another loss. 1 and 10 over last 11. Shutout too. How do you go from scoring 16, 7, 6, 8, whatever... now they are lucky to score 1 or 2.

In July will be the draft, Pirates have #1 overall.

The LSU kid is top contender…….

Keller pitching a gem today...hope Shelton doesn't **** it up for him.

 

[stillerfaninfl]

If nothin else, Keller is a stud.(Yankees'll come trying to sign him). 13 k's today, 7 shutout innings. Shutout his last outing. Like 16 scoreless innings.

Pirates 4——————0 Oriels

I’ll take that.

Keller is pitching very. I caught most of the game on Prime Video as they had a MLB promotion going on for about a week or so.

The relief pitcher (can’t remember name), came in and took care of things promptly.

NO, I will not be subscribing to the MLB for season games, I’ll save that for when I retire or get old and can’t KAYAK or spend time out-doors Anything activities.

DK Sports Daily Shot is pretty good this morning, recommend taking the time to view it. YouTube is easy to find.

He talks about how cold the Bats are and nothing being done, including direction of batter in how to approach at the plate.

He also talks about a “punt” season from the management and how nothing, nothin g is being done to turn batting around.

Going from 20 - 8 to .500 ball in a span of less than 3 weeks, goes to show the management has given up…”punt”.

DK says it way better but that is the gist.

One of the most obscure stats in all pro sports

The Pirates have not finished better than the Cardinals since 1997.

Currently the Pirates are 1 game out in the division (Brewers lead).

Pirates in a home stand, tonight will be the start, they will come out of their batting slump.

I don’t know about “pissing it away” they lost, simple as that. The diamond backs are a pretty good team, in fact they now have two more wins on the year than the Pirates do.

Correction: Shelton pissed it away.

Carlos Santana is done too. Lotta money for little return. 2 hrs thus far and ave. down below .240.

 

[stillerfaninfl]

1 game over .500

Better away record than home record.

The ship is taking on water fast.

You do realize this is the PIRATES right………. 1 game over .500 is awesome when compared to the past 10 years…….

Getting ready to fall below .500

 

[Sarge]

After going 20-8 in April, the Pirates are 6-19 so far in May. Talk about falling off a cliff. Yikes.

 

[SteelerFan448]

I knew they’d struggled and could end up below .500, but thought it would take longer than a month.
