@Bucfish67 @WaymooMoody Boy I hope Cherington did not say that. Soto and Santana have to go. Soto has a pretty big contract . I think 2 more years . Not sure what Santana makes . They both are washed . Cannot pitch either one . Maybe phantom 60 day IL for both . 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@WarrenP024 @WaymooMoody Not what Cherington said. Bob Nightengale said that. He hasn’t been right about anything for 20 years.

Good win. The Pirates should have swept but 2 out of 3 ain't bad. They have found their closers. Montgomery and Mattson. Release Soto and Santana !!!

@3RiversSportNet @Maddog_219 That would be wonderful. But if the trend continues as it has the past 3 years for Keller , how can he get any worse than he has been this first half of the season. I mean he throws 92 Mph right down the middle of the plate. No command . He is washed I am afraid .

@WarrenP024 @Maddog_219 Santana should have been DFAd about a month ago Perhaps we'll get lucky and get a reverse Keller, where's hes terrible in the first half and amazing in the second, but Im not holding my breath

"but only if they can acquire pieces without increasing payroll" Bob Nutting needs to sell the damn team.

@PeteKadar Yes . Agree

@WarrenP024 I was the most loyal Pirate fan attending and watching games, until Bob Nutting came along and starting lying every year at Pirate fest saying how committed he was to winning and having coaches and GM lie also. Be a cheap bastard if you must but don't be a lying cheap bastard.

The contemporary Pirates are the only team in the history of sports where being 4 games over .500 becomes a life-changing and earth-shattering reason for a grand celebration. The MLB fans in the 412 have hoping and praying for a team that is a small percentage over mediocre. Bob Nutting too many you people by the testicles. The sad part is that this season will end like all the rest since 1979, with a disappointed fan base. Please let your highs be lower so your lows can be higher. Pirate Baseball, a losing tradition for 57 years.

@3RiversSportNet @Maddog_219 And Soto and Santana , and Ramirez and Keller .

@Maddog_219 If only there was a way to move Ozuna in a deal

@nickygsmustache LOL

BEN

@rlrasmu LOL

Pirates 4 run lead B8

@Matthew_Sean96 And the biggest question is : What has Cherington done to improve the bullpen ????

This is hilarious, Ben Cherington trades for a career minor leaguer, then hits a home run yesterday, and gets an RBI today, Don Kelly gets ripped for putting Billy Cook in the lineup, and he's now 3-3 with a couple RBIs and a stolen base.

@rlrasmu LOL

Pirates aren't listening to offers for Billy Cook. Franchise player

@WaymooMoody We will see. We as Pirates fans should absolutely have no faith in Ben Cherington to make the necessary moves to improve the Pirates enough to make the playoffs .

@WarrenP024 Already went through this in detail.

@nickygsmustache It really does .

I see we’re all scoreboard watching tonight 😂 It feels so good to be back!

@frazmoney93 Without a bullpen never

The Road to Buctober

@rlrasmu Haha. Cook will never have another game like this the rest of his career. He is a average player at best .

Billy Cook: other teams calling Bucs about him after today.

@WaymooMoody No they are not but they very well may have to be. According to what Cherington said today the Pirates can only make trades or improvements by not increasing payroll. So what starting players are they going to trade even up ? Horwitz, Lowe, Cruz, N. Gonzales, Reynolds, O'Hearn ?

@WarrenP024 They are not the answer.

@frazmoney93 Yea but they need bullpen help badly. They have to somehow get rid of Santana and Soto and get better bullpen arms without raising payroll according to idiot Cherington. That would be impossible unless they trade starting players for relievers. So sad . This management sucks !

👀

@NotHankDave Yea you can't score if you don't shoot. Argentina was hoping and praying the score would stay 0-0 until the shoot out. But it did not happen that way .

I’m not a soccer guy, but I think Argentina should take a shot at the goal if they want to win

@nickygsmustache I believe in miracles

And just like that, the Marlins have lost 6 straight and the Pirates have won 5 of 6. Lots of baseball left

@Steelscores He doesn't care. He makes enough with his team being just mediocre

Bob nutting not wanting to spend a little more money is always crazy to me. Does he know how much money he would make if the pirates went on a run to the World Series.

@BillLeeds @Matthew_Sean96 9 times out of 10 that lineup would not score 7 runs. Anyone who would believe Cook would have 3 hits would be fooling themselves.Yea it was a better defense lineup. And Valdez is amazing . Good win !

@WarrenP024 @Matthew_Sean96 And the shit players that you were referring to, carried the team today, unless you hate Valdez. Lol

If you're serious about making the playoffs, you have to have a better lineup than this.

@nickygsmustache I admit I was wrong 🫣

It worked. The garbage lineup everyone complained about put up 7 runs and played EXCELLENT defense. Credit to Don Kelly
