I think his math is off a little.....at 2-7 they would be 46-116 in a full season but yes...BAD
So...you guys went into this season with.................what kind of expectations? Isn't this club basically performing as we all expected?
This year is a wash. It is a throw away. The Pirates should be playing every young guy or tradeable commodity. Colin Moran, keep on hitting HR's.

I was a huge pirates fan growing up with bonds bonilla and van slyke. I haven't watched a game in this year and only watched parts of a handful last year.
What do the Pirates and Steelers have in common?
They both win once a week!

They will half-ass their way through the short season same as a full season. One foot in the pool and one on the sidewalk. Hedge, hedge, hedge. With the mounting injuries they should treat this as an extended spring training and see what they have with some of the young guys. If they sneak into a playoff spot, great. This whole baseball season is a train wreck waiting to happen.

If the past has taught us anything, it's very likely that the team will get streaky and win just enough to barely miss the playoffs.
What is really sad is the owner like the jack a@@ owner of the Redskins just doesn’t get it. Are they really that stupid? The value of sports franchises after COVID 19 are going to take a hit. What percentage I don’t know but if the tv rating are not there and no fans revenue streams are going to dry up.
There's a long way to go, but the Yankees - Nationals opening night game on ESPN had their largest viewership since 2011 and the Giants - Dodgers game that night was the highest rated late night ESPN game ever.
The first 12 games ESPN showed this year were up 34% versus last year, and the games on Fox the first weekend were both up double digits.
Things I would rather catch before Bucco Fever:
1) My wife cheating on me
2) A grand piano falling from the sky
3) Covid
4) A glimpse of Rosie O'Donnell changing (ok, that one's a lie)
5) A train to Cleveland

More like tone deaf
Not trying to catch anything right now
So much for my analysis. At least I didn’t predict a 6,000 point market.
Number 4 really I just puked.

The Pirates will have the worst winning percentage in modern baseball history.

As much as I want that to be the case, I doubt it will be. They're always good for a few meaningless winning streaks every season. If they want to best (worst?) the 2003 Tigers, they'd need to go 15-45. And if we're counting 1900 forward as the modern era (that's many statisticians' definition of it), then they'll need to one-up that at 14-46. Hey, I'm rooting for it. How could you not at this point? But I just don't see it happening.
And the nuts they find are the people still willing to watch them.
You are either part of the problem or part of the solution. Boycotting going to the games ( sans COVID), watching on TV or buying paraphernalia is the only way to force a change......and even then may not!
I will never get rid of my Clemente jersey and have some stuff in the man cave but will not buy anything until team is sold. I can hold out easily!
Perhaps by counting last night's 4-0 lead after five innings (before the inevitable collapse).
Today it got so bad that the Twins' broadcast crew (I was listening on Sirius XM) was actually laughing at this pathetic bunch.
We were talking last week about them just tanking the whole season to get the number one draft pick, and I have to say that I don't know if that's what they are doing, but it sure looks like that's the strategy.
This team has about six guys, maybe seven, who ought to be playing all the time. Especially in a short season. Assuming that your goal is to win as much as possible. Bell, Frazier, Newman, Moran, Reynolds and Polanco, and perhaps, dare I say it, Stallings (as much for his defense as his offense). And yet every day one or two or more of those guys are sitting on the bench while we see Dyson and Evans (who has actually hit the ball pretty well so far) and Murphy and Gonzalez and Heridia out in the field. Why?
Cole Tucker looks over matched at times, but at least he's a young guy that you are trying to find out about and who you hope will get better with time. What does a guy like Jarrod Dyson bring to the table. He's old, so he's not going to get any better. The last few years he's stunk, .230/.313/.320 last year and .189/.282/.257 (good god, a .257 slugging percentage!) two years ago. Why on earth is he anything more than a once a week fill it? Hell, why is he even on the roster?
And then you have the foolish aggressiveness on the bases, which is getting guys thrown out at a ridiculous rate. Why?
I'll tell you why. They aren't trying to win. They are trying to lose so much they get that number one pick.
Oh yeah, Tucker. Why is he playing the outfield? He's a shortstop. OK, so is Newman, but he's capable of playing second. If the objective is to get the best nine players out there, that's your middle infield. Then, what of Frazier? Well, there's a hole in the outfield, and he's not a stranger there, so play him there. Or put Osuna out there, in which case Reynolds becomes the center fielder. You say that would be sacrificing defense? What defense? They can't play any worse defense than they have so far.

The funny thing is that with the DH in the National League this year it should be easier to get those guys all on the field at the same time, and yet they still can't quite figure it out.
Probably because they aren't trying to.
