@PiratesFaithful Stop pulling starters on analytics.

I know that loss sucks because it does, but the team is 9-6 and headed back home with a series win. 4 game set with an average/below average Nationals team on deck. I want 3 in that series!

@PiratesFaithful @RedsWhisperer We didn’t ask for much!

@Metz30 @RedsWhisperer I only ever wanted him to hit .250 with 15 HR's a year 🤷‍♂️

This seems very untenable. Causing roster logjam elsewhere, $8M a year the next four years, a degenerative back issue that likely gets worse as he ages, and you play 8 on 9 with your lineup each time he starts.

If Bryan Reynolds hits a home run this weekend vs the Cubs, we'll give a Bryan Reynolds Autographed Baseball to someone who reposts this post and follows us!

THE PENS PUNCH THEIR TICKET 🎟️ The @penguins are heading back to the #StanleyCup Playoffs for the first time since 2021-22! 🐧 Presented by @PolymarketSport

I had a chat with Sid yesterday. He told me what pushed him most in recent seasons is the thought of hearing the noise of the Pittsburgh crowd when he, Geno Malkin and Kris Letang take the ice in a playoff game again. He will get his wish. The Penguins are headed to the playoffs.

Pirates players are in attendance for Griffin’s extension presser

Konnor Griffin's debut was absolutely electric ⚡️

Nick Yorke calls game. Double to left wins it for the Pirates, 3-2.

Opening Debut.

@JimStamm22 Need …..at SS.

Opening day thoughts: I think you can throw a lot out of the window about what happened today, Cruz not withstanding. You can take your pound of flesh with him, and yeah it's justified. He's not a kid anymore. But the #Pirates need him and there really is no getting around it.

@DomDiTommaso Should Cruz have been pulled in your opinion?

I'll say this: I give Don Kelly a lot of credit for having the nuts to pull Paul Skenes in the first inning. That is not an easy decision: taking away your best chance for a bounce-back and humiliating your superstar. But it was the right call, and a power move. Good work, skip.

@PlatinumKey13 @BuccoTerritory I want to believe……but way too many things need to drastically change for even 1 of the 2 to happen. I hope we contend for a spot and keep it interesting through the summer.

The Pirates will not just make the playoffs this year, they will win their Wild Card Series Check out today's full episode of @BuccoTerritory here: youtu.be/mJDq6MjXAqg

@bythewaybro He’s 1 injury away from a call up.

Absurd you can put up these numbers in spring for a team like the Pirates and still get optioned

@UnderdogMLB @PiratesFaithful @JonathanMayo Any deal before the upcoming “lockout” doesn’t really matter, correct? A lot of moving parts I would think.

Konnor Griffin, Pirates have discussed extension, per @JonathanMayo. "The talk has been around a deal for as long as 9 years and north of $100M."

@EdmOilerlytics Please explain how the Pens got worse here?

That Jarry - Skinner trade somehow made both teams worse.
