Trade Carmen Mlodzinski tonight. I don’t care anymore man. If you think you’re too good for the bullpen (btw Wilber Dotel is even better than you) then go somewhere else. This team doesn’t need this crap

Oh my Lord what a shot

This was a Top 10 moment of my Pirates fandom and I’m not even joking.

@BryanNotReynold @Pirates @peacock @937theFan 🤦🏼‍♂️

@Pirates @peacock @937theFan STOP PLAYING MANGUM HES THE WORST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE

53/162. 📺 @peacock 📻 @937theFan

When I was struggling with TIMING, I asked Dusty Baker what I needed to do to get on-time. He told me 1 thing: “When the pitcher shows his back pocket… you show your back pocket.” That simple cue helped sync my load with the pitcher instead of rushing forward. Next at-bat: line drive in the gap.

I can’t believe ballplayers don’t play pepper anymore; it needs to come back

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. @Pirates

@KodyDuncanPGH @MarkMaddenX Agree 100 %. My kids asked to go the other day so I looked. Cheapest was 70 Bucs for upper deck seats. I’m used to paying 17 Bucs for those seats! And it doesn’t help gas is 4.99.!! lol

@MarkMaddenX The Pirates rank 7th in cost of ticket prices. Which is absurd to think about. I think that plays a role because a lot of fans probably still don’t believe in this team and won’t pay insane prices until the team proves them wrong. Just my guess

How the ***k are there only 13k at PNC Park, with good weather, to see Skenes pitch? Baseball town, my fat frumpy ass.

@FitzGThomas @JMackey_PGH And an L on the board…. Why was CM pulled after 70 pitches?

@JMackey_PGH That’s an ugly lineup. Reminds me of last year.

Lowe & O'Hearn sitting against the lefty, Robbie Ray. Bart gets another start. Yorke playing first.

@DTonPirates No

Assuming Jared Jones is healthy, would you consider trading Mitch Keller at the trade deadline for an everyday third baseman? #Pirates

“The most important thing in my life is to share The Word, share The Gospel, live in eternity in heaven…” - Pittsburgh Pirates & MLB’s #1 prospect Konnor Griffin (🎥: CBNSports/IG)

50+ years in baseball. 17 as an MLB manager. over 2,500 games from the dugout. I won Manager of the Year and also lost more games than I want to count. I led teams through losing seasons and took a team to the World Series. The biggest difference was leadership. If I could go back to my first day as a leader, here are the 5 lessons I'd whisper in my own ear: Lesson 1: Be a window when it's good, a mirror when it's bad. The leaders I respected most shared every win and absorbed every hit. What this looks like in practice: • Wins: name the people who made it happen • Losses: say "that's on me" before anyone asks • Locker room: spotlight the effort before the outcome Your team will fight harder for a leader who deflects credit and absorbs blame. Lesson 2: Nobody hands you trust. You earn it before you coach it. Early in my career, plenty of coaches tried to fix my swing. I tuned out every one I didn't trust. Get to know your people before you try to develop them. Their hobbies, their family, what makes them tick. Then the coaching lands. Lesson 3: Shower well after every loss. After a losing streak in Colorado, our team president asked me how I kept the clubhouse together. This was my rule: • Self-evaluate honestly, were we prepared, did we execute? • Shower well, wash off the grit, grime, and angst before you walk out • Be present for whoever you're going home to Tomorrow is a new opportunity. Don't drag yesterday into it. Lesson 4: Lead transformationally, not transactionally. Transactional leaders ask: what can this person do for me? Transformational leaders ask: how do I put this person in a position to win? The first builds compliance. The second builds careers. When your people start chasing growth instead of your approval, you've crossed over. Lesson 5: Stay humble before life humbles you. There are two kinds of people in this world: those who are humble, and those who are about to be. Discipline keeps you in the first group: Skill gets you in the room. Humility keeps you there. 50 years taught me leadership isn't about you. It's about the people you serve. @Rockies
