I’m so psyched for this season! Sad that it’s the first year since 2020 that I’m not covering the team in some capacity but as a fan, this is the most enthusiastic I’ve been entering a season in at least ten years. Get ready to #RaiseIt #LetsGoBucs

KG needs better lumber. Broke bats on both ABs today

I know you can’t take out the first game but since that blow-up outing on opening day, the pitching has a 2.34 ERA (third best in that time). Another big challenge with the Padres coming to town today

Five teams currently rank top 10 in both wRC+ and ERA: Atlanta Braves, New York Yankees, New York Mets, Milwaukee Brewers and your Pittsburgh #Pirates #LetsGoBucs

AND THEY SWEPT THE ORIOLES!!! This team is something special and so fun to watch! #RaiseIt

Wild stat for this homegrown staff #Pirates

#Pirates tied for 5th most DRS after 8 games probably wasn’t on anyone’s bingo card - especially after opening day (don’t dig into other defensive metrics here, please - just enjoy this)

#Pirates are two games over. 500 for the first time since August 3, 2024 (56-54). Spent zero days over .500 in 2025

When asked who he was most excited to play with following his call-up, Konnor Griffin said Nick Yorke without hesitation. Wrote about Yorke last year and still believe he has the potential to be an above-average major leaguer #Pirates #LetsGoBucs

WALK IT OFF!!!! #RaiseIt

TIE GAME!!!

The bottom of the order is showing up early today 🔥🔥🔥
