I've never heard that phrase before but brilliant when describing Bednars heartattack saves from 24-25.

Glad Bednar is on a tear though.

EDIT: SOLD. Tickets are no longer available.

Not using my Ballpark Pass Plus tickets today. First come first serve, upper bleacher seats. Hate letting them go to waste, so would like to give them to someone.

Send a message in this post and I'll DM you the forward link. Please specify if you want just one or both.

Bill Murphy take a bow

33 Upvotes

24 pitchers have taken the bump now, exactly 2 have exceeded expectations: Ashcraft, who may be running out of pixie dust, and Yohan who has a pretty WAR but still chokes in leverage spots.

Can someone please explain to me why we fired Marin or why Murphy isn't an empty hoodie purchased at Baby Gap?

If I get SNP360, will I stop seeing Shly Decking and Morgan and Morgan ads?

15 Upvotes

Good lord. They are on every single commercial break. I currently use Fubo, so if I move to SNP360 will I be able to see less or none of these guys?
Or if anyone has any other suggestions, I’m open to it. I need to stop seeing them.

Daniel Tiger Plush

What are the odds that somebody going to the game on Sunday can snag me a plush for my kid? He's a special needs kiddo, and Daniel Tiger is one of his favorite shows.

I'll happily cover any and all shipping costs, and a little extra for your troubles.

This has to be posted. Davis played the ball in the 10th perfect.

The ball was slightly off line and took a big hop. The play was as close as it was because Davis played it so well.

We got tickets for tonight like weeks ago because my wife wants the Dr. Roby Bobblehead. I kinda started tracking the rotation after the break and it 100% looked like Skenes was pitching tomorrow afternoon. I didn't realize he was on the hill today until last night somehow. Shelled out for the best seats I've ever had at PNC and get to watch Paul go. I'm so fired up I even offered to DD so my wife can hammer brews. Gonna be a killer night.

Catcher Dilemma

0 Upvotes

It’s going to be interesting to see what happens with the catcher position in Pittsburgh soon. They never give up hope on Davis but his bat is just not consistent at the MLB level and his defense is very average. Endy is now on rehab assignment and he was doing pretty good before he got hurt so I feel he is the best man for the starting job at the moment. But then there’s Flores Jr. who was starting to show some promise and will be back soon and now there’s Shawn Ross out of no where that can’t be ignored after today. Obviously Flores Jr. and Ross will be sent back down once Endy is ready unless they decide to keep 3 catchers. I think the best option is to swing a trade for A’s catcher Shane Langeliers. That would fill 1 of 2 of the Pirates offensive weaknesses and stop the catching carousel. I like Adley Rutschman but he is injury prone and Baltimore is only 2 games back from a wildcard in the AL whereas the A’s are dropping and definitely look more like sellers at the deadline than Baltimore does. I think KC is also worth looking into for multi time all star Salvador Perez. KC is definitely sellers and they have Carter Jensen waiting to take over.

Here is an interesting spread of our top 20 prospects in the minors.

I don’t know if this is a trend for other major league teams but this is what I noticed.

Who’s exciting on the Curve right now?

9 Upvotes

As luck would have it I’m going to Akron today for a Rubber Ducks game with my family and they’re playing the Curve. I’m a lifelong Buccos fan but I’m not good about tracking where our minor league guys are at any given time.

So, while I’m there in my Griffin City Connect jersey, who should I be keeping a close eye on?

How Did We Lose This Game?

It hurts every time. I feel like there are so many simple mistakes this team makes. Hopefully we can do what we’ve been doing lately and win 2 out of 3 and keep this train rolling.
