Straight Talk for Yinzers

Pittsburgh Pirates fans want hope. Here’s as hope as it gets.

Take two of three from the Dodgers. A Twins sweep in San Diego. Root for Philadelphia and Cincinnati.

Too many things to happen. But this is the last weekend that all of those things could add up at the same time for this year.

Never say never, but never…

Pittsburgh Pirates have 13 series left in the season. Three of the are against teams that aren’t relevant in the playoffs at all. Let that sink in…

They would have to go on a run of all runs to even have a chance.

Paul Skenes just got pulled on 65 pitches last night.

It’s over people. It’s over.

Next year maybe… with some offseason help again. But it’s over this year.

Aaron Rodgers is going to play the opening series tonight in the Pittsburgh Steelers preseason game. Would be shocked if he plays any more than that.

It is not talked about enough how stupid the decision to let go of Oscar Marin was……

Three of four to the Cincinnati Reds would’ve given a reason to buy today. The other way around is just brutal. Skenes has two pitches 98+ mph in his last six starts. Yes two actual pitches.

Sell the damn team Bob. There isn’t actually anything to discuss about this team anymore. Should’ve just lost 100+ games for the draft pick at this point.

Wow. Let’s Go Bucs!

Carmen Mlodzinki getting to decide when he pitches is hurting more than helping. Mitch Keller should’ve still been in this game.

Wins from Friday/Saturday…

Pirates-2
Miami-0
Philly-1
Cubs-1

Pirates gained 2.5 today in the wild card. Shouldn’t matter but in the division too. Just turned themselves from possible sellers to buyers in one afternoon.

Brewers just rested their ace. Skenes can sweep the Brewers today on Peacock. Smart move by the Brew crew. That’s why they continue to win.

Hope the Pittsburgh Pirates buy. Their fans deserve it. But would be shocked if they do.
