We have a generational talent that we get to root for, for the next 9 years?!? Im dreaming right? Hopefully they start spending these next few years and take advantage of the window. I expectations are low but a guy can dream

@DonChed54 15-20hrs .275avg and 30sb and shoot for gold glove defense

What are your expectations for Konnor Griffin in a #Pirates uniform?

@SkenesNat Don’t think they’d move Ozuna that far down. I was hoping for something like: SS Griffin 2B Lowe LF Reynolds RF O’Hearn CF Cruz DH Ozuna 3B Gonzo 1B Horwitz C Davis Cruz and O’Hearn at 4&5 don’t care which spot. Depending on matchup Cruz/O’hearn/Lowe are interchangeable.

This needs to be the Pirates lineup tomorrow 1. Konnor Griffin SS 2. Brandon Lowe 2B 3. Bryan Reynolds LF 4. Oneil Cruz CF 5. Ryan O’Hearn RF 6. Nick Gonzales 3B 7. Spencer Horwitz 1B 8. Marcell Ozuna DH 9. Henry Davis C

@937theFan @KDPomp @AustinRBechtold Or he makes his debut and gets the extension in a week or so, that way it doesn’t mess with pick compensation

BREAKING NEWS: The Pirates are promoting top prospect Konnor Griffin to make his MLB debut at the #Pirates Home Opener tomorrow! @KDPomp @AustinRBechtold

This team has me the most excited I have been in years. Skenes, Chandler, Ashcraft and Keller are great. Give me back a solid Jared Jones and we are solid. I’d like another outfielder and move O’Hearn to 1b full time. Then need production from Ozuna and the C spot. #letsgobucs

@BLynd97 @AustinRBechtold Perfect 🍻

@AustinRBechtold Griffin SS Lowe 2B Reynolds LF O'Hearn RF Cruz CF Ozuna DH Gonzales 3B Horwitz 1B Davis C

What my #Pirates lineup looks like at the Home Opener: 1. CF Oneil Cruz 2. 2B Brandon Lowe 3. LF Bryan Reynolds 4. DH Marcell Ozuna 5. RF Ryan O'Hearn 6. SS Konnor Griffin 7. 1B Spencer Horwitz 8. 3B Nick Gonzales 9. C Henry Davis I like Griffin hitting in middle of the order

Man give me: SS Griffin 2B Lowe LF Reynolds RF O’Hearn CF Cruz DH Ozuna 3B Gonzo 1B Horwitz C Davis Probably one of the best Pirates lineups we have had in years. Would prefer to get another outfielder and have O’Hearn at 1b if horwitz doesn’t start hitting tho._

@KillaCam0531 I’d keep Nicky G at 3b with the way his bat is going. Triolo is a great utility glove and that’s exactly what he should be doing. Can spell almost every position but the bat isn’t strong enough to be in the everyday lineup. So excited to see Griffin

Well that didn’t last long lol. Saw enough of Triolo in 6 games at the plate and they were like yeah fuck this😂. Although I’m assuming with his glove he goes to 3rd? Man this is an awesome time to be a Buccos fan. Only took 35 yrs but finally some optimism.🙏🏼🙌🏼😂. #LETSGOBUCS

@KutterIsKing Probably a home debut and trying to lock in a long term extension. Can make a lot more money debuting him in Pittsburgh. If not not many people would show up this early.

Why didn’t they just put him on the opening day roster?

If Cruz and Reynolds get going like they were the last 2 games. And O’Hearn and Lowe stay hot, bringing up Griffin makes me really excited for those 5 bats. Nicky G has been solid so far. Really need to get Ozuna going or else I’d slide Cruz to DH. Pretty excited for this group

So freaking pumped to watch Konnor Griffin make his debut. Hope he absolutely shows out and signs that extension next week

Opening Debut.

Okay I’m an idiot for wanting to get rid of Cruz. The fielding woahs are there but that bat can be so scary. Dude has put in serious work against lefties in the offseason and it’s paid off so far. #letsgobucs #pirates

@Pirates @SNPittsburgh 2 best hitters out of the lineup. 0 on the board today and defense will screw Skenes again

6/162. 📺 @SNPittsburgh 📻 100.1 FM & AM 1020

@AustinRBechtold He’s a utility bench guy. That’s all. Bat isn’t good enough to be a starter. Bring up griffin and let gonzo man 3b

Pirates fans, how do you feel about Jared Triolo

Konnor Griffin can’t stay down long. Triolos bat is nowhere near good enough.

Braxton Ashcraft having a good start so far. Add a 5th starter and this rotation could hang with about anyone. Just need Griffin, a trade for a 3b and better outfielder.

Heck yeah! I’m rooting so hard for Henry Davis to have a good year. I really hope he can unlock his potential. Nice single to center to add a run in the 10th. 4-2 Pirates.

Loving the additions of O’Hearn and Lowe so much. Bring up Griffin and Garcia and get a bat that can play 3b. This team is so close. #letsgobucs #pirates

Carmen Mlodzinski is not a starter. 3-4 decent innings and then he falls apart. God this team could’ve been good. Trade Cruz/Bart/Horowitz, grab a legit 3b, call up Griffin and Garcia. Sign Giolito or Anderson. And try to get another RP
