2019 Pirates

Its early, those 2 have plenty of time to tank.

Nice to see Neveranout back on the team.....

Mind blowing he still gets major league action.

 

[thedddd]

Good news he won't need surgery.

 

[thedddd]

Designated Tyler Lyons - didn't work out too well so no biggie.
Now we have a 27 year old Rookie Montana DuRapau. Can't be any worse.

Also Clay Holmes was recalled for Kela trip to the DL.

Buco's getting pummeled tonight, going to be a long road trip. hopefully them can stay out of the division cellar by the end of their longest road trip of season.

All 4 of those clown pitchers on our 40man roster with 1 option left are crap. Brault, Feliz, Neveranout and Holmes are all garbage. The tiny amount of value they have is they can be sent to AAA. I cant wait to see them all cut at the end of the season.



Btw, I've switched sides, I'm on the Newman > Tucker team atm

 

[steelerssb]

Great bounce back, Williams was fantastic and that was needed in the worst way tonight.

Jordan Lyles is starting to make me a believer. Thought he'd skid down after his first bad start but he's holding it together.

Weird season thus far. Some really low and frustrating lows but also a lot of fun at times.

If Crick/Vazquez keeps this up the back end of their bullpen will be ok.
The Rodriguez/Liriano/Keala (when healthy) could fill the rest.

As for the others you state they can all go none are worth it on the major league roster.
Neveranout should be released today he flat out sucks.

As for the Tucker/Newman thing really keep both up and play the hotter hand. Eventually Tucker will surpass Newman because of the pure talent but for now I have on issue with them swapping playing time.

Looks like we might have a legit middle of the order bat, maybe the anonymous SI scout's take on Bell let a fire under him.

I dont have much faith in Stratton or DuRapau, but its better than running our regular gas cans out there.

Today was the first time we have hit double digits all year.

 

[psaboy]

Really nice to start this road trip with a series win at STL, hope they can carry this over at AZ

 

[thedddd]

Taillon to the 60 day DL.

Kang to the DL and Elmore to replace him.

 

[steelerssb]

The 2-5 hitters (Marte, Polanco, Bell, Melky) are all swinging the bats well now. Williams and so far Musgrove look a lot better, hopefully some more wins can get strung together.

When Archer gets back hopefully the four man rotation holds up until Taillon returns. Looks like we won't see Taillon until July at the earliest now.

Really have no confidence in any of the "5th" starters they would throw out there unless Keller comes up.

Now Williams is hurt. Lets hope nothing is serious.

 

[wings-pens2166]

Off to see the Bucs-Pads game. Hopefully a better outcome than last night.


I’ll be the guy in the Dave Parker jersey behind the Bucs dugout. Look for me

I was wondering that was the case since he got pulled early. any news on how bad it is?

 

[steelparrot]

Holy crap Montana DuRapau is starting tonight.

 

[steelparrot]

I wonder if this is our first time using an 'Opener'. Have him pitch the 1st 2 innings or so then bring in Brault?
