What China fails to understand is that Americans will stop being addicted to their goods and once they get used to not having cheap China products it’s over for China to ship all they currently do. Good luck with that China!

@SteelCityBucs30 @nathan_osler I was going with Pham or Bae coming back 😂

@nathan_osler Alika Williams trade falls through and he’s getting the call!

This has to be Password or Esmerlyn. I accept nothing else.

@OpenedCreation ?

@BrentThompsonMU ig dude

Where’s the Bednar crowd today Pirate fans?

@OpenedCreation Collapse killed the season. 2025 start got a Manager fired and he was sent to the minors. I didn’t forget anything. He contributed to poor seasons

@BrentThompsonMU 2024 he was generally fine outside of that August collapse. 2025, outside of April he was solid. People on here forget about that

@OpenedCreation I guess you didn’t watch him last 2 years. He stunk, can’t pitch in Pittsburgh 🤷‍♂️

@BrentThompsonMU Would still be our best high leverage reliever

@BoofBullington @ToneDigz Current ERA 4.95

@BoofBullington @ToneDigz It doesn’t matter to overly emotional Pirate X 😂

Toughhhhhh Buccos loss last night. One that makes you sleep like shit. Miss you Big Dawg

@JoeHofmann1 @dyarksky @garymo2007 Current ERA 4.95

@JoeHofmann1 @dyarksky @garymo2007 He helped ruin 2024. 2025 his early performance got Shelton fired (ok, that was fine) He’s a FA after this year? Couldn’t count on him for success this year after the past 2. Definitively not paying him big bucks

David Bednar was dealt because it was going to be his last year of Arb. Not because it was assumed he’d suck. But you knew that, I’m sure.

@SleeperPirates @BillAgona44 He needs to blow up his approach. Can’t hit anything at the belt. Hands too low, wraps his hands, not enough flexibility in his swing. He relies on his legs too much and needs to work with someone that can work with his hands getting to the ball better

@BillAgona44 I don’t think we have one. We are stuck with the worst hitting catcher in baseball

Henry Davis is a total liability. I don’t care how good he might be defensively, his bat is so bad that it’s not worth it.

@SteelCityBucs30 @EWTTS__ Card series I’m hitting it hard first 2 games

@EWTTS__ @BrentThompsonMU If they’re going to lose, I would like to be compensated

Predicting the Pirates would lose today after they lost last night does not make you correct about “the beginning of a losing streak”. If they lose tomorrow we can talk.

@EWTTS__ @SteelCityBucs30 Hey, I was rooting for the Pirates. I just knew they’d crap the bed after choking Friday. Gamblers have to gamble when it’s obvious 🤷‍♂️ 😂

@BrentThompsonMU @SteelCityBucs30 Congrats...I guess.

@Baseball4Ever99 @Pirates You mean watch Cruz take strike 3 all week?

@Pirates This was the Phillies World Series. Go beat up the cardinals. They gotta cool down at some point. PLEASE COME OUT SWINGING TUESDAY

FINAL: Phillies 6, Pirates 0

@EWTTS__ @SteelCityBucs30 Easy peasy $$$ 😂

@EWTTS__ @SteelCityBucs30 I have confidence in Paul. It’s the rest of the team I’m figuring will blow up 😂

When you can’t hit a pitcher, can’t get outs on the bases KG

@PittsburghHOF @fjrsally The correct move would’ve been Mason once Cabrera came up to bat. Couldn’t hit the slider

Would have loved to have taken our chances with he and Wake that 9th inning the previous season.

@know_tru @AGretz You left out the LH Pitcher I said would replace Mitch. Bubba will be fine, it took Mitch a couple years to figure it out. Seth will be up mid next year if he continues dominating. That’s the way I’d do it

@BrentThompsonMU @AGretz Mitch is above average & extremely durable & reliable. They have Skenes, Mitch, and Ashcraft. Mlodzinski isn’t a starter, and Bubba is closer to being sent down to the minors. Jared Jones will be extremely limited. I’d fast track Seth, but they won’t.

Thinking back to the people that tried telling me they had the pitching depth to survive a Mitch Keller trade.

@SteelCityBucs30 Yes, though I was disappointed it was only +118

@BrentThompsonMU Oh me too. Skenes days are the best for betting against the pirates

@know_tru @AGretz He’s been average for 3 years. Pirates need a LH starter so I’d use his salary for one. The youngsters are growing up and will eat his innings starting next year

@BrentThompsonMU @AGretz You’d trade Keller? Why would you trade a consistent reliable good pitcher in his prime?

@JaredLankes Not today Jared, not today 😂
