Where's Bob Nutting?

Make that "counting his daddy's money."
I would love to see a game where absolutely nobody showed up. Maybe an entire homestand. He is unquestionably the worst owner in sports. Makes that goofball from the Clippers look like the Rooneys.

Huntington makes mistakes, but let's not kid ourselves here, this debacle is all Num nutting
I think Huntington deserves some credit for the three year run the Pirates went on and at the same time some blame. Overall he's an above average GM. IMO the rest of the league has caught up to the market efficiencies that the pirates used, (shifting, pitch framing, etc.). I think he should get an extension, at the end of the day its tough to compete when you are bringing a knife to a gun fight.
Hurdle on the other hand I think should move on with his life's work. He was a decent manager here in Pittsburgh but his voice seems to have fallen on death ears with the players and the fans.
At the end of the day Nutting is a fraud and Huntington has assembled the worst bullpen in his tenure.

Honestly, it is time for a change. Nutting isn't going anywhere.
But we see what we have in the pipeline, Neal's drafts have been absolutely disastrous, disastrous, his trades mediocre. For someone who admits that they are a small market team that needs to draft and develop, he (they) aren't. Time for him to move on.
Hurdle's message now has been tuned out. Nice guy, sincere guy, but it is time some of these guys (Marte, Polanco) need to hear a different message.
They need to fire the GM, Coach and most of the scouts.

Well who takes the blame for the drafts? None of the first round picks have turned into super players and some have flat out stunk!
You're going to have to hire Jesus to replace Huntington because it's going to take a miracle to turn this trash roster around at a bottom of the barrel budget. But, you're right...drafts leave much to be desired!
Then we will be into the new 5 year cycle. Optimism a with new coach and staff who will be worn out again in 5 years as the same cheap owner limits the payroll and makes bank. Nothing really changes until there is a new owner.
