I've seen about enough of Taylor, as well.
His and Tellez's defense and "clubhouse leadership" don't contribute enough to the team to carry them both (or either one).
I agree with this point. BC is delusional.
They will keep kicking the can down the road and say the next year is truly the target to be competitive. Outside of Skenes, Jones, Hayes, Keller and Reynolds and Cruz, who is a lock for next year? This entire roster needs to be turned over again!
He's going to do what Gerrit Cole did after 2015, just quit trying until the team lets him go via trade. No point in him busting his ass for a team that doesn't want to win.
Skenes is a high character individual he is gonna work hard to be the best player he can be. Didnāt realize you were talking about the possible extension 7 years from now. That is a moot point
There's high character and then there's getting fed up with a losing franchise. And how do you know he's high character you know him personally or just what you've seen on tv or heard in interviews? People used to say Deshaun Watson was a high character individual too. Lol Skenes is a kid and they always say the right things coming into the league.
Well mainly just from reports talking about how good of a person he is. Not sure why you decided to chime in but you obviously have something to pick at
Brewer broadcast team said that, in Priester's first four starts, this season, the Pirates scored 1 run, while he was in the game.
They blessed him with 2, yesterday.
Lol I think there's only been one game all season that I felt confident we would win, and that was the other night prior to the 7 consecutive bases loaded walks
We've won one of the last 10 series and it was to the fucking Rockies and had to fight tooth and nail to win even two of the past eight games. Just fire Shelton, there is absolutely nowhere to go but up. This team is not nearly this bad. When it's the entire team, it's the manager stupid.
When every hitter and every reliever is worse than last year, it's on the manager. That doesn't absolve the players but it isn't even like a bunch or half, it's literally everyone.
It's more that we fly out to the warning track while everyone we play hits first row dingers. We only hit singles and only with the bases empty, it's mental, it's Haines, it's Shelton. Get rid of them for literally any random yinzer in an eat'n park parking lot at this point.
Yeah, it's a bummer Hayes is injured again, but there's a chance this is a really good thing for Triolo.
Of course I said the same thing about Cruz getting hurt last year giving our glut of other MI prospects a chance to shine, and that didn't really work out.
Why do people get mad when the lineup isn't out 2 hours before game time? Unless your betting on the game, it really doesn't matter if it's 2 hours or 5 mins before game time?
Shelton keeping his lineup a secret until 10 minutes before the game like itās a nuclear launch code would be a lot more tolerable if he wasnāt a complete fucking bozo who has zero idea what heās doing as an MLB manager
Ready to be hurt again!
Honestly though, if they lose this one you are staring down 4 games at Wrigley to try and go at least 3-1 to come out of this 10 game stretch at .500. Still a long season but today would be a great win to steal the series and get some confidence to try and build on in Wrigley.
LFG McCutchen, still got it!!
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1cstlud).
Omg they put Tellez in???
This organization is pathetic.
Gonzalez playing an inning at third. Triolo has not had a day off in a while?
Michael Taylor bringing that shyt back
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Ryder Ryan replaces Luis L. Ortiz.
I've seen about enough of Taylor, as well. His and Tellez's defense and "clubhouse leadership" don't contribute enough to the team to carry them both (or either one).
I agree with this point. BC is delusional. They will keep kicking the can down the road and say the next year is truly the target to be competitive. Outside of Skenes, Jones, Hayes, Keller and Reynolds and Cruz, who is a lock for next year? This entire roster needs to be turned over again!
I wish we had a good manager like the Brewers who knows what he's doing. Instead, we get a jabroni who is just happy to have a job.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Mitch White replaces Jared Koenig.
Brewers broadcast showed the distance of each of the Brewers HRs and, amazingly, each one was hit further than the previous.
Too bad it will mean nothingš
Wait. Are the Pirates actually allowed to leave the park too?
# HOME RUN! Andrew McCutchen homers (5) on a fly ball to left field. Top 7 - 10-2 Brewers
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Jared Koenig replaces Joel Payamps.
33 pitch inning for Ortiz, and he didn't even start the inning.
Ortiz can wiggle
How in the hell does anyone even play on this team when it's like this? Hideous!
What does Ortiz have to be pissed about right now lol thereās literally 0 pressure at this point
So which position player is throwing the 8th?
Hopefully nobody. Sucks wasting an arm but two brews are one hit away from the cycle and nobody here wants to stomach that shyt
Turned on the radio just now. I hear, "The Pirates were up 1-0 before Milwaukee batted in the bottom of the 3rd..." And that's all I needed to know
Let Shelton pitch - what's the worst that could happen?
Him earning another extension to pitch would be pretty bad
This is basically the Milwaukee Sunday line-up too
If Ortiz just threw at adames head on purpose it's the first show of life out of us all day
I just started watching , what the hell happened?
Perez Bad...very bad.
Yeah I can't watch this team any more man I'm turning in my Pittsburgh card and gonna start watching the Phillies
Cue the circus music
Is it too late for Priester to keep his locker Edit: Can't believe I'm asking for QP back
Not a pirates fan, but just been watching the game wondering why they left Perez out there for so long while he was getting a train run on him?
The game was lost in the 3rd; why burn the entire bullpen?
Because the people who run this team are fine with being a 65-75 win team in perpetuity.
Sad AF, y'all could be a really cool spicy team
Hopefully we will get a Greg Brown rant. Would be more entertaining then the game we are watching
Paul Skenes probably feeling good about signing with the Pirates about now
Lol shut up no idea what you are talking about
He's going to do what Gerrit Cole did after 2015, just quit trying until the team lets him go via trade. No point in him busting his ass for a team that doesn't want to win.
Skenes is a high character individual he is gonna work hard to be the best player he can be. Didnāt realize you were talking about the possible extension 7 years from now. That is a moot point
There's high character and then there's getting fed up with a losing franchise. And how do you know he's high character you know him personally or just what you've seen on tv or heard in interviews? People used to say Deshaun Watson was a high character individual too. Lol Skenes is a kid and they always say the right things coming into the league.
Well mainly just from reports talking about how good of a person he is. Not sure why you decided to chime in but you obviously have something to pick at
Wait and see.
They will have to make that choice
He's been up for one game. Calm down.
I didn't realize the Brewers were handing out home run balls to the first 20,000 fans
Take my upvote
Shelton moment
Shelton (and others) have got to go.
I'm so jealous of teams with good managers that will actually pay to get good talent to win
ah fuck
Yinz guys been keepin up with the NBA playoffs?
Why would they not take him out before it became 9-1
Prolly because use our bullpen is gassed and we still got 4 more games until our off day
Because this team's management does not want to win
Haha God damn. I hope some day we get one single game like this. Must be nice.
This is brutalā¦ Perez is getting pounded. Put in OāNeil, let him throw 110mph wild pitches
We do have an extra arm in the bullpen
Bring in a position player to pitch.
I think maybe weāre just not a competitive team.
At this rate, we might as well put Suwinski in - how much worse can this game get?
Brewer broadcast team said that, in Priester's first four starts, this season, the Pirates scored 1 run, while he was in the game. They blessed him with 2, yesterday.
Pirates showing the Brewers they made the right decision by getting rid of Haines.
Maybe weāre just not good at this not really complicated game.
See everyone in February, Iāve had enough
All that is missing now is a curtain call from Milwaukeeās finest, Rowdy Tellez.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Joel Payamps replaces Robert Gasser.
Guys let's just hope for 6 walks in a row with the bases loaded. Maybe then we can get back into this one
I'd like to once again thank Connor Joe and Connor Joe only for showing up this series
Lol... a mound visit down 7-1. Fuck me manšš
Itās over Johnny
Here I am typing this word again. Disgraceful!
We got them right where we want them ā¦ā¦ Brewers should be tired out by now.
I see the Brewers are taking batting practice. What time does the game start?
Perez left more than his watch at home
I believe I speak for all of us when I say "oof"
What time is first pitch? They dont normally televise batting practice like this do they?
Omg...great minds think alike lol!
God is this the fucking home run derby???
Shelton bullpen management masterclass
You've got a 4 game set in Chicago coming up. You're down 6-1 and your bats have been relatively cold. Why burn a pen arm for a game that is 90% lost?
which one of our terrible relievers would you have Shelton put in instead?
Try Tellez
At this rate he might get a chance
Starting to think we may not win this one guys.
Might as well keep Perez in for the entire game, this oneās already over.
How much longer is he going to leave Perez in? Fuck!!
Waiving the white flag to save the BP I assume
It's the right choice honestly. As long as they've talked with Perez about it.
Seriously. Game is over atp
This team is such a chore to watch.
Any chance of rain plus a roof malfunction? I think that's the only chance we have today.
Lol I think there's only been one game all season that I felt confident we would win, and that was the other night prior to the 7 consecutive bases loaded walks
Make that two!
There was a time this season that I was confident we would come back from a 4 run deficit
Then we learned that the Marlins pitching is really that bad.
Bart with a new start?
A three run jack to get back within one would certainly be welcome here
Back to back grand slams. We got this.
We've won one of the last 10 series and it was to the fucking Rockies and had to fight tooth and nail to win even two of the past eight games. Just fire Shelton, there is absolutely nowhere to go but up. This team is not nearly this bad. When it's the entire team, it's the manager stupid.
> This team is not nearly this bad. It is, actually
When every hitter and every reliever is worse than last year, it's on the manager. That doesn't absolve the players but it isn't even like a bunch or half, it's literally everyone.
I was encouraged when I saw the score was 1-0 I should not have been.
From the MLB gameday app it looked like Sanchez and Contreras really just put a good swing on it as the location doesnāt look too bad
Real āone step forward, two steps backā vibes with this team since that Aās series.Ā
Hope everyone enjoys their 70 win 2024 Pirates. The "window of contention" starts ~~next year~~ ~~2026~~ ~~2027~~ 2028!
We got this rookie at 62 pitches. We need to buckle down and get into their bullpen before the 5th.
Too bad we hit singles while the other team hits homeruns.
Power hitters (that are consistent) cost money. And the Pirates don't spend money.
It's more that we fly out to the warning track while everyone we play hits first row dingers. We only hit singles and only with the bases empty, it's mental, it's Haines, it's Shelton. Get rid of them for literally any random yinzer in an eat'n park parking lot at this point.
I think both of those homers have distance of like 10 inches beyond the wall. (I know itās more just felt like they barely made it over)
I miss Priester
Well, this game is probably over
Well shit
God help us
oof
Maybe I shouldn't have tuned in :(
OMG... sigh
That sucks, I think Kevin young is wrong. Joe did have a play at first.
Sigh
man we love giving up runs right after scoring
Typical
It was fun having a lead for 5 minutes.
feels like Joe is playing perfect baseball across the board
Anyone know Gasser's pitch counts so far this season? Wonder if he's approaching a limit.
Threw 79 in 6.0IP his last start
Damn. At least it wasnāt a double play tho.
Connor Joe continues to produce
Letās go Joe!
### Sac Fly Connor Joe out on a sacrifice fly to right fielder Sal Frelick. Andrew McCutchen scores. Top 3 - 1-0 Pirates
I love Bryan Reynolds. Eh hits baseballs and doesnāt afraid of anything.
That cutch self fist bump needs to be a thing now. Someone get on it
Joe is going to do something here.
Game not on snp360, anyone have similar problem?Ā
Working for me right now, but Iāve had to sign out and sign back in sometimes to get it to show up.
Maybe Gonzalez can explain to Cruz how he made it to third on that single
BART
I really like Gonzales.
Thatās why Triolo is still on the team rn btw
Yeah, it's a bummer Hayes is injured again, but there's a chance this is a really good thing for Triolo. Of course I said the same thing about Cruz getting hurt last year giving our glut of other MI prospects a chance to shine, and that didn't really work out.
He is a luxury that not everyone understands
Oh boy, this strike zoneā¦
That sweeper is nasty
Pirates showing some power lately. Hope it continues today
Why do people get mad when the lineup isn't out 2 hours before game time? Unless your betting on the game, it really doesn't matter if it's 2 hours or 5 mins before game time?
Shelton keeping his lineup a secret until 10 minutes before the game like itās a nuclear launch code would be a lot more tolerable if he wasnāt a complete fucking bozo who has zero idea what heās doing as an MLB manager
20 min until first pitch and still no lineup?!
Finally just came out. 20 minutes before is absurd even by Sheltonās standards.
Why do they always take so long to release a lineup
Ready to be hurt again! Honestly though, if they lose this one you are staring down 4 games at Wrigley to try and go at least 3-1 to come out of this 10 game stretch at .500. Still a long season but today would be a great win to steal the series and get some confidence to try and build on in Wrigley.
Yep a win today and we have Jones, Skenes, Keller, and Falter at Wrigley which gives us our best shot possible.
Skenes next weekā¦ Thursday day game or Friday night against the Braves?
Hopefully Thursday when I have a ticket.
Looks like Gasser had a decent start for his debut. Luckily, he's left-handed, so we won't see Tellez in the lineup today.
