@RealJacobPerry @ClintHurdle13 My parents didn't have a will

I kept this story in my pocket for a long time....
In Pittsburgh, September 15th is Roberto Clemente Day.
Every year the whole organization fans out across the city. It's like Christmas. Roberto's family is there, Vera and the boys.
My first year as manager was 2011. We celebrated. We shook hands and moved on.
We didn't win.
19 consecutive losing seasons.
2012 rolls around. Same day, same celebration. We had another losing season, our 20th consecutive.
After the ceremony, Roberto Jr. walked over.
"My mom wants to talk to you."
We went into the dugout. Me, Vera, and her three sons.
She spoke in Spanish. I played four years of winter ball so I understood enough. She wasn't angry, but she was passionate. And I kept hearing Roberto's number come up.
Roberto Jr. translated.
"My mother wants you to know that there cannot be a 21st losing season. That was Roberto's number. It would be a disgrace to his legacy."
She was staring right at me.
Before I could even think about what to say, words came out of my mouth:
"I promise you, Vera. That won't happen."
Roberto Jr. looked at me and said, "You made my mom a promise. I hope you can keep it."
I said, "I hope I can keep it too."
I didn't tell my coaches. I didn't tell the players. I told my wife. That was it.
The next year, 2013, we broke the consecutive seasons losing streak. Ended it at 20.
On Roberto Clemente Day that September, Vera came walking across that field.
And I probably got one of the most meaningful hugs I've ever received in my life.
The players did all the heavy lifting. I just got the hug.
Some promises are worth making before you know if you can keep them.

@deafyinzer @JPbucco33 @yinzburghsports A bandwagon Pirates fan?! Lmao imagine how stupid one has to be to say that. What bandwagon have the Pirates created for one to "jump on the bandwagon?" Is it no World Series since 79? No division titles since 92? Is it 3 winning seasons in the last 30 years?

@GreenfieldGoo @DutchGuy9 @messeduppcs Remember that next time something super simple you don't understand put you in the dumbass pedestal.

@GreatWhite85 @BNightengale Ironic
Baseball Trade Values@BaseballValues
Based on our modeling, Tarik Skubal's surplus trade value has gone from $41.2M to just $1.1M. Because he's unlikely to return before the deadline, the Tigers have lost not only their ace, but also their biggest potential trade chip, should they fall out of contention.

@GreenfieldGoo @BNightengale Vero down he’s breaking down

@GreatWhite85 @BNightengale Great insight man. A starting pitcher throwing under 100 pitches back to back on six days rest is definitely not normal 👍

@ItsYoBoyBryce00 @PresterJohnEsq @lost_pghplayers Baz sucks, Meadows doesn’t play baseball anymore and Glasnow is always injured and wasn’t gonna be good here. Trade was a wash
English

@PresterJohnEsq @lost_pghplayers We gave up Tyler Glasnow for someone who played like 2 years for us

@CBHawkeyes @UrBigDaddie @nickysmokess I bet that you didn’t even hit a HR on the 200 ft fences as a child. If I could bet on it I’d throw the house
