The Resistance

@ChaserevX @Pirates Okay Bret Pitt haha

HOW CAN YOU FUCKING NOT BE ROMANTIC ABOUT BASEBALL?!? What a moment for Griffin!! #letsgobucs @Pirates

@Travis_Sawchik @baseballhall @Mariners I’m the next Bob Dylan

@Cmonnn145 @baseballhall @Mariners Poetic

In one of the most anticipated debuts of the era, Ken Griffey Jr. played in his first @Mariners game #OTD in 1989. The 19-year old doubled in his first at-bat, launching a journey that would take him to Cooperstown. ow.ly/EN6I50YCOvs

@TheDoge_Pack @baseballhall @Mariners Why is that an ugh

@baseballhall @Mariners I remember ugh

@AmIEvilYep What’s that mean?

Since Konner Griffin getting called up by the Pirates gonna seem weird not seeing him getting thrown out at 2nd by the Clippers.

@rogers_rep_ I mean that would be hard to do in America

Konner Griffin pulling an Albert Pujols

@ChrisDokish Let’s just be mad no matter what I guess

So Konnor Griffin wasn’t ready 6 games ago, but he is now? Better late than never, I guess.

@Jolly_Olive They’re about to break a record for a rookie contract so they don’t care about the service time

Did they even get the year of service time? Or did they just waste a week of Pirates fans time?

@Broadcaster005 @Senga2Alvarez There won’t be a salary cap. Players will never agree to that. Maybe a floor, but not a cap

@Senga2Alvarez Lockout next season, followed by a salary cap. Yeah, taking generational wealth now over a "what if" is always the move. Too many things could go wrong, and with the cap who knows what he could have earned.

I understand that being guaranteed generational wealth is tough to turn down but man if he panned out and hit free agency at 25 he could have genuinely made a billion dollars

@Senga2Alvarez It’s a win win situation. He’ll be a free agent at 28

@Senga2Alvarez He’s signing a huge deal at 19. If he’s what we hope he will make a ton more in his second contract

@EmilErhart @JimBowdenGM So they’re waiting till after the game to make it official it seems

@JimBowdenGM Why would they announce it prior to the game and lose the PPI? Curious as to your thoughts on this. Would be a curious decision to say the least. Would be a very Piratey move

The Konnor Griffin era begins tomorrow in the "burgh" for #Pirates home opener as their front office is quietly confident they'll be able to announce a long-term deal prior to the game.The expectations is it will be an 8-year deal in the range of Roman Anthony, Colt Emerson deals.

@PGSportsNow Yeah no, sign him when you can.

Paul Zeise: Pirates should wait to sign Konnor Griffin to an extension post-gazette.com/sports/paul-ze…

@MarLovelace1 @Pirates I mean no team is going to have a player change their number after the season starts

Hoping the @Pirates give Konnor Griffn a real number. I don't wanna see a spring training "you won't make the team" jersey. The number he wants, is the number he gets! I don't care if another player has to be stripped from their🤣 #LetsGoBucs

@Neil1741 @ThePoniExpress 1?

@ThePoniExpress 1 and 9 are weak spots

Projected Pirates lineup with Konnor Griffin: 1 Cruz CF 2 Lowe 2B 3 Reynolds LF 4 Ozuna DH 5 O’Hearn RF 6 GRIFFIN SS 7 Horwitz 1B 8 Gonzalez 3B 9 Davis C That lineup can get you to the playoffs.

@rawoods24 @ThePoniExpress We’re not going to talk about averages 6 games into a season

@ThePoniExpress I would flip flop Griffin and Ozuna. He has to drop in the order! Batting .050 and his bat looks super slow!

@PeepMySlashLine @SticktheDealer @Pirates @jo_dynasty3 Dumb

@SticktheDealer @Cmonnn145 @Pirates @jo_dynasty3 Look at your clown ass taking a clown ass selfie in team merch. That says, “hey, look at me. I support being a loser who has been taken advantage of for decades.” Tells people you’re irrelevant 🤡

Opening Debut.

@PeepMySlashLine @SticktheDealer @Pirates @jo_dynasty3 Anyone that refers to themselves as on a different level definitely has some issues

@Cmonnn145 @SticktheDealer @Pirates @jo_dynasty3 Why do you keep talking to me like we’re on the same level? Don’t generalize a guy who has been called generational. You’re disrespecting his talent. Nothing has changed between now, and a week ago, but you’ll galaxy brain it to appease your stupidity

@PeepMySlashLine @SticktheDealer @Pirates @jo_dynasty3 Also you have an over inflated ego for sure

@GeekDaFreakkkkk @Pirates He probably just made friends with him recently

@Pirates Nick yorke is such a random answer 😭

Get to know KG!
