@AtomK13 It’s his walk up song

Why do the Mets play "My Girl" eight times a game? Is it a Lindor thing?

@Kohlman_Ent What a fun start to the season!

@Wins_Williams Yes it hurts but they’re not entirely wrong

Podcast meatheads like Frazier and Kratz will say this and they're going to then get performatively angry if it ever happens when they've been begging for it since the moment he debuted. It really just all boils down to being mad that the pirates exist.

Well…the bullpen was rested. So much for that. Full writeup at… northshorenine.com/bullpen-breakd…

Paul Skenes has made 55 MLB starts in his career. The Pirates are 32-23 in those games. 2024: 15-8 2025: 17-15 ‘24 season was good, but not last year…they can’t go basically .500 in his outings. They need to be better in his starts, one thing I’m looking for this season.

During one of the worst losing streaks of my career, our team president walked into my office. Keli McGregor. One of the best men I've ever known. He could have come to vent. To question my decisions. To ask hard questions. Instead, he said: "Cut to the chase, Clint. What's next?" I looked him in the eye and gave him two words: "Shower well." The Colorado Rockies were struggling badly that year. Pregame preparation was solid. Scout meetings, early work, attention to detail. All of it was there. But at game time, the tires were flat. I told Keli: the game did everything it could to us today. We just couldn't meet its demands. Now it was time to reset. "Shower well" means exactly this: • Watch the frustration circle down the drain • Shampoo, rinse, repeat and get the grime of today completely off your mind • Walk out clean, go home, and actually rest Leave it at the ballpark. The game is over. There's nothing left to solve tonight. Keli nodded. Asked if he could share it with the whole organization. I said sure. And then it hit me. This isn't just for baseball. Bad day at the office. Grumpy boss. Missed deadline. Traffic on the way home. You can carry all of that through your front door. Or you can shower well. I've never seen a single problem get better because someone dragged it home with them. The reset is a discipline. Same as preparation. Same as showing up. Either we win. Or we learn. The only real loss? When you don't take a single thing out of a hard day. So tonight, whatever kind of day it was, shower well. Tomorrow is a new at-bat. What does your reset look like? I'd love to hear it.

Konnor Griffin will be a great player one day, but when you consider that he slugged under .100 against fastballs this spring and these were his fastball whiffs… I can see why he didn’t make the Opening Day team. I talked about it for today’s OffBeat: northshorenine.com/the-pirates-hi…

@PGHClothingCo HOIST THE CONE

Did we just get a look at the new City Connect jersey? 😳

@_NoahHiles Biggest ever? Didn’t realize a World Series title was on the line!

Sunday might be one of the biggest baseball games ever played. And a Pittsburgh Pirate is starting on the mound.

@PGHClothingCo Would pair perfectly with the cig jersey

Let's give away 400 sandwiches this year.

@nathan_osler This team could probably win a game tbh
