Mookie, I got to say if the Reds had a couple of the Pirates pitchers or the Pirates had a couple of Reds position guys, you would have a contender.

George Grande and Chris Welsh also really complimented Josh Harrison tonight on the broadcast, which the Reds team often does for Cincy area players on other clubs.

@joe_blockGerrit Cole 5 consecutive winless starts of 6+ IP and 2 or fewer ER.Last #Pirates starter? "Hickory" Bob Harmon in 1918.

yes, yes, come down to the cave of forgotten dreams, with the giants. we have rooms for all types of disapointment. and dirt bike rides.
― Van Horn Street, Saturday, 13 May 2017 03:31 (six years ago) link
while i appreciate the sympathy and madly respect Van Horn Street personally, the giants have won three world series in the last eight years
so (no offense!) fuck the giants

highlight of the season

missed this, but mccutchen got double-switched out last night. which is totally reasonable -- he struck out to end the previous inning and is batting .206/.280/.390 anyway -- but it's another measure of his precipitous decline

mccutchen did not play today, what is up?
― Van Horn Street, Friday, 26 May 2017 00:43 (six years ago) link
he didn't start yesterday either, and was like the fourth pinch hitter
a) hurdle is trying to give him a period to rest and 'clear his mind'b) he honestly, suddenly, completely sucks
he is by all accounts a great guy and he's just fallen off a cliff performance-wise and it is all very sad. he's only 30!
― mookieproof, Friday, 26 May 2017 01:00 (six years ago) link
Trying to think of other stars who mysteriously nosedived at 28-30... Cesar Cedeno was even younger, but I don't think he'd established a profile comparable to McCutchen's.
― Supercreditor (Dr Morbius), Friday, 26 May 2017 02:04 (six years ago) link
it's only been two years since a knowledgeable friend asked me if i thought he'd make the hall! (i said no; he was never going to get the homers and the speed was already tailing off)
but now he can't even seem to hit the ball
― mookieproof, Friday, 26 May 2017 02:23 (six years ago) link
they said it would never work, but indeed the pirates *could* utterly destroy tyler glasnow's confidence/future utility

cutch .375/.438/.679 in june
soon to be traded for a minor leaguer no one's ever heard of

Came to post about McCutchen being McCutchen again. I hope the Pirates won't be sellers.
― Van Horn Street, Friday, 23 June 2017 19:56 (six years ago) link
fangraphs currently gives them a 3.6% chance of making the playoffs, so they *should* be sellers
not too many players who fit the bill that anyone would want, though, now that tony watson has fallen apart. maybe cutch, maybe josh harrison

sad times when you let sam dyson earn a save

three errors through 1 1/3 innings

which the cubs have converted into 5 baserunners and ... 0 runs

nothing like a battle between two struggling mediocre teams

yeah this is a weird and sloppy game
― mookieproof, Friday, 7 July 2017 19:59 (six years ago) link
how is josh harrison's nickname "j-hay"? it doesn't make any sense and jason heyward's nickname is already "j-hey" and that actually makes sense
― na (NA), Thursday, 20 July 2017 16:53 (six years ago) link
josh harrison is two years older than jason heyward and may conceivably have had his nickname bestowed on him independently
― mookieproof, Thursday, 20 July 2017 17:00 (six years ago) link
his nickname should be j-harr
― na (NA), Thursday, 20 July 2017 17:00 (six years ago) link
or j-son
― na (NA), Thursday, 20 July 2017 17:01 (six years ago) link
his nickname should be Chicago Cub Jason Heyward of the Chicago Cubs
― qualx, Thursday, 20 July 2017 17:38 (six years ago) link
can we just agree that none of this is as bad as j.a. happ insisting that his name be pronounced 'jay happ'

Excellent bullpen work tonight enabled comeback win vs Cubs.

good job, pirates
#STLCards send INF Eliezer Alvarez to #Phillies. Nicasio will help Cardinals' bullpen, but he would not be eligible for postseason roster. https://t.co/zQfNqwDAkU— Jenifer Langosch (@LangoschMLB) September 6, 2017

nice

they saved $600k by waiving nicasio *and* they won't have to pay that prospect next year, what a win-win
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 6 September 2017 18:50 (six years ago) link
clinched their 22nd losing season in the last 25
four second-place finishes, zero firsts

Neal Huntington basically said the Pirates have yet to determine which direction they'll go this offseason -- add for 2018 or retool for 2019 and beyond. "Depending upon what we’re able to do in this market, that goal (postseason success) may be ’18, that goal may be ’19."— Adam Berry (@adamdberry) December 14, 2017
