Figuring out whether to stick Davis or Rodriguez at first base will be a very very good problem to have.

2x4=8. 0x0=0It’s early but up 2-0 on the Nats already in today’s game 2. Would be real nice to get 2 in the W column today!!
Update: it is no longer a weakness.In other news, the 2023 Pirates’ biggest weakness appears to be loaded bases. If we lose the first game of this doubleheader, that will be why.
This is getting ridiculous! I don’t even know what I’m watching anymore. Lol.For those of you who predicted 72 wins for the Pirates this year, good guess!
You didn't realize they'd get those before the All Star break though!!
The Pirates became inspired by the Pitt Basketball Team’s amazing season.1. What is happening?
2. I wonder if the pitch clock has anything to do with it. Just seems to make it more of an athletic game.
Good question re: #2. I had a feeling the shift ban would help guys like Carlos Santana, but hadn’t thought about the effects of the pitch count. Might not have an answer on that for a few years.1. What is happening?

Trade???? Cut him!!!!!This is getting ridiculous! I don’t even know what I’m watching anymore. Lol.
Btw. Trade Cruz!!! Jk.
Heard this on the afternoon game. But this explains it. That’s what he is today.Maggi Time!
I didn't even realize he was still up and started Thursday.
He was actually optioned back down to AA today but remained with the team as the 27th man for the double-header. In what is likely his last ever at-bat in the major leagues, he gets a hit and an RBI!Maggi Time!

Interesting thought there. Maybe instead of guys just loading up for the long ball more players/managers starting to focus on actually playing baseball!1. What is happening?

Was rooting for him not to be remembered with a “Moonlight Graham-like” footnote in Major League Baseball history. 👏He was actually optioned back down to AA today but remained with the team as the 27th man for the double-header.

Would make for an interesting thread all it's own ..Interesting thought there. Maybe instead of guys just loading up for the long ball more players/managers starting to focus on actually playing baseball!
I think no more shift is part of the equation too.Would make for an interesting thread all it's own ..
It feels weird to not be on the receiving ends of these breakdowns. Again, this is a different team folks. No letdown (and no mercy!) in the second game of the double-header.16-0
Holy mackerel Andy !!
Thats what she said ... 😁Instead of raising it, why not just save time and leave it up!!!
Believe ...Can’t believe what I’m watching here.
Disagree, I think whener is decent.This is overall a great post. However… John Wehner???? I’m sorry. No. Granted I’m only an occasional partake of the product these days but…OMG, he’s … bad doesn’t even come close. He just kind of grunts.
Drew Maggi?Who had the Pirates 10 games up on the STL Cards on April 30th on their bingo cards?
