If you are someone crapping on this dude for being excited about (I assume) achieving one of his young life’s greatest goals, then get lost.

Jefry Yan celebrates his first MLB strikeout

Paul Skenes doesn’t get enough credit for his realism. When he told the press recently “we have a playoff team in there,” he was excluding himself.

Harrison really knows what he’s doing with that fastball.

At the other place, Dominican MLB "insider" Hector Gomez is reporting that the @pirates.com have released Marcell Ozuna.

If Stevens won they would not print that moderates didn’t get the big election night they wanted, they would print that moderates have struck back and reasserted their place leading the party

Guys will listen to male influencer bullshit about needing to have a six pack and manipulate everyone and meanwhile women will go “you know who is the sexiest fucking guy I’ve ever seen?” and post this

look at this disgusting 102 mph wiffleball, oh my god if someone threw me this pitch i'd have nightmares about it for a week

Pittsburgh Pirates@pirates.com · 2d ago

Won it on a challenge. 😎

Mason Montgomery with “actually that’s not true” right after saying “I like meeting new people” is one of the funnier things a Pirate has said all year.

The Brewers got The Full Monty this evening.

Great job by Soto to work around his infielders there.

Gonzalez is a disaster in the field.

Pirates just making more and Moore moves today.

Pittsburgh Pirates@pirates.com · 2d ago

OFFICIAL: We have acquired RHP Andrew Moore from San Diego in exchange for RHP Hunter Stratton. Moore has been assigned to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Mlodzinski will be heading back to the rotation with Keller on the IL, I presume. I also wouldn’t be surprised to see them do some more bullpen games down the stretch too given the number of bullpen arms they have and the weaknesses in the rotation.

I stopped watching the NFL because it was woke and soy, but now I’m back because the 42 year old quarterback of a team that will overachieve if they make the playoffs hates Anthony Fauci.

That's not the fans' fault. But they should realize they're being played. The Bandwagon is free to read with an email: bandwagon.ghost.io/hope-arbitra...

Aaron Rodgers was close to calling it a career. But Pittsburgh's decision to hire Mike McCarthy helped the four-time MVP put off retirement. In an exclusive interview with The Athletic’s @mikesilver.bsky.social, Rodgers speaks about the reunion with his former coach. nyti.ms/4wo0YZj

There's still a ton of repaving going on in Pittsburgh. This website has weekly updates on where:

Again, this was a huge topic of discussion when the Yankees were dominating and revenue sharing was brought up. My biggest problem with revenue sharing back then was "what if the teams getting that money whose owners don't want to win just pocket it?" and GUESS WHAT FUCKING HAPPENED!!

Jason Fry@jasoncfry.bsky.social · 3d ago

Those of you eager to serve wealthy MLB owners as volunteer Pinkertons won’t like to read this, but as usual Joe Sheehan nails the real problem:

Esmerlyn Valdez with one of the longest PAs of the season.

Pirates praying for a rain delay to get Keller out of this game.

I just keep coming back to one question: If being 2 1/2 games out of a playoff berth with 51 games left is a selling position, what is the value of that playoff berth? Why are we letting 40% of the teams into the playoffs, deeply undermining the regular season, if this is how teams act?

I’m a lot like the Dodgers, in that I also traded away Hope.

THIS is the problem MLB needs to fix and a salary cap won’t do it.

Collin Whitchurch@cowhitchurch.bsky.social · 4d ago

The Tigers, currently three games out of a playoff spot, decided they’d rather not have one of the 2-3 best pitchers in baseball

let's take a moment also to celebrate the first absolute meatball down the middle getting fucking crushed. the first woman in pro baseball league history to get her shit rocked
