OT pirates wrong foot.

[Cap pitt]

In the top of 6th wit 2 outs and bases loaded, ground ball to pitcher Rodriguez, did josh bell not have the wrong foot on the bag. The ump called the phili runner out but the review called the runner safe. Right hand thrower should have right foot on bag to stretch for ball. This team lacks baseball fundamentals, just like palanco not tagging on foul ball fly to right this team is clueless. Had bell had his right foot on the bag he could have stretched more and runner would have been out with no challenge, things like that aggravate me more then no hitting and pitching. Which they are not doing too well as it is

Does it really matter?

Does it really matter?

Sadly, no. I don't think the Pirates sniff relevancy again until guys like Keller and Hearn are hitting arbitration. Josh Bell is likely long gone by then. A real travesty given where we were three years ago.

Maybe Hurdle needs to go. This is a badly coached team. I always heard people say about players, " he really knows the game " I used to think, what does that mean, if you're at this lever you should know the game. But now it seems like the Pirates really don't know the game

 

[PhPanther2]

They’ve given up 48 runs in 4 games. They couldn’t bribe me with money, alcohol, drugs and hookers to walk in and watch 9 innings of those losers on grass.

Another shelling courtesy of the Phillies.

Good thing the Pirates back when they won 98 didn’t sign and PAY pitchers like the Saber Geniuses said not to; don’t want to block the arms in the farm system.

Well those arms are here.

Nutting doesn’t want to pay for one manager....he’s not dumping Hurdle and paying for two....

I'm confused, wasn't this thread about feet?
No matter, nothing about this team is right. Arms, feet, heads, asses.......it's all bad.
This "team" needs the reincarnation of Billy Martin. At least it would be fun watching him go apoplectic on these dimwits and losers from time to time.

Pipe dream though, even dead, Nutting would never pay him.

Starting to resemble the 2009 stretch when they gave up tons of runs to Brewers. Fans need to show their frustration and have a boycott game sometime this year at pnc

I think they are "boycotting". They aren't showing up. It was mostly a pro Philly crowd last night.

Good....I hope Nutting drowns in empty seats.

Other than Dickerson, they don't have a single player worth squat...total collection of garbage. Every single young player who purportedly had potential has rotted in this pathetic organization........ Glasnow, Taillon, Kerplunko(the laziest and dumbest player in the majors), Marte, Bell......garbage! And the owner re-upped his stellar management troika for another 4 years......

But they run the Ops by Moneyball....so they got that going for them.

The hilarious thing is that they have this smug attitude about knowing what they're doing , yet the results show they're clueless.

Last week it was 17 - 1 vs the Dodgers. Last night when I turned it off it was 14 - 2 Phillies. The pitcher Smoker looked like he was having some kind of twitching experience. I actually felt sorry for him since hurdle left him in the game as he was getting hammered. It's actually become humorous for me as I watched the ineptitude being displayed.

Dickerson isn’t worth squat either. He has 6 HRs and three RBIs since May

How did he do that?

Remember all the great prospects that were “untouchable” and “can’t miss”? I do & now they’re all in the majors and stink like yesterday’s garbage. It’s almost comical how bad that clueless, penny-pinching owner/mgmt combo is and the faithful is finally saying “enough is enough” and staying away in droves. From 98 wins and deafening crowds to this - a bunch a Ham n Eggers playing in front of a plethora of empty seats exhibiting some of the worst baseball fundamentals in MLB history. Hard to watch

Anybody who purchases anything Pirates or tickets or even goes to games when they get free tickets HATES Pitates baseball.

Sorry. Six home runs all year and just 3 RBIs since May.

Right. Marte seems like he could care less to be there. Palonco. Should go down to single A baseball. And Bell needs something, not sure what, but I know he is no 1st basemen, no arm and can't hit either, very unorthodox swing
