I don’t care what anyone says, every game matters in baseball. That one game will matter at the end of the season.
Win the games you’re supposed to.
Thats starts today with Skenes on the mound against the worst team in baseball.

Pittsburgh Pirates Starting Lineup today:
1. Pham, LF
2. Reynolds, RF
3. Cruz, CF
4. Bart, C
5. Cutch, DH
6. Gonzales, 2B
7. Rodriguez, 1B
8. Hayes, 3B
9. IKF, SS
Hope everyone enjoys Opening Day.
Need a Paul Skenes Masterclass today because we know the offense will likely not show up
I’m definitely over Spring Training games.
Get me to Opening Day already.
I’m ready to suffer.
The amount of playing time Endy Rodriguez is getting is leading me to believe he is going to make the team out of Spring Training over Henry Davis.
They can play him at 1B, C, 2B, OF, and DH.
They will find him at bats
I don’t want to be too negative but I really don’t care how “well” someone is playing this Spring Training.
We should have went out and got a viable MLB hitter this offseason.
I’m happy some guys are playing well but we know that means absolutely nothing.
Nothing better than Sunday afternoons watching baseball on a relaxing day to end the week.
Ok I am a big fan of the Andrew Heaney signing.
But does that mean someone might be hurt? Or does that mean someone might be getting traded?
Time will tell.
Is this best rotation the Pittsburgh Pirates have had in the past 20 years?
1. Paul Skenes
2. Jared Jones
3. Mitch Keller
4. Johan Oviedo
5. Bubba Chandler
Another question is why have one of the worst offensive lineups when you know you can win almost everyday with these SPs?
There is absolutely no way Ben Cherington couldn’t have traded for Nathaniel Lowe or Josh Naylor.
He has been so inept this offseason.
I like Spencer Horwitz but man this has been brutal so far.
SOURCE: The Pittsburgh Pirates and Andrew McCutchen have agreed to a 1-year deal $5 million pending physical.
The Pittsburgh Pirates' transaction page has them releasing Trey Cabbage.
3 Outfielders that should be on the Pirates radar in order via trade:
1) Luis Robert Jr.
2) Heston Kjerstad
3) Jake McCarthy
One of these guys, Ben. It’s literally that easy. Go do it. Stop being conservative.
You don’t need an insane lineup if your starting rotation looks like this in 2025:
1. Paul Skenes
2. Roki Sasaki
3. Jared Jones
4. Mitch Keller
5. Bubba Chandler
Easily the best rotation in the division.
Ben Cherington and company needs make the best pitch of all time for him
I need more Pittsburgh Pirates rumors tonight.
Let’s keep improving this team.
The MLB Draft lottery is tonight. The Pittsburgh Pirates have a 5.31% chance to get the #1 pick in next year’s draft.
If they can get in the Top 5 I would be happy with that.
Ethan Holiday is the kid you on want in this draft. Would be nice to get him.
Konnor Griffin has added strength and moved his weight up to 225 this off-season according to his father.
Excited to see how he does next season.
The Astros apparently are listening to trade offers on Kyle Tucker.
He will be a UFA after the 2026 season.
This is who you trade good pitching prospects and or Luis Ortiz + a top prospect for.
He would fix a lot of issues this team has.
Not sure how accurate that report is but I really do not want Anthony Rizzo as our starting first basemen next season.
Aim higher for once, Pirates
3 things to look out for next week for the Pittsburgh Pirates at the Winter Meetings:
1) Do they make a trade for a bat(s)?
2) Where will they land in the Draft?
(5.31% of getting 1st pick)
3) Do they sign any “relevant” FA(s)?
At least some interesting things to come..
If the Pirates move Bryan Reynolds to 1B fine, but it can’t be “part time”.
Make it permanent and have him work on that position all offseason or don’t do it at all. If it’s full time then go out and sign a guy like Tyler O’Neill.
Quit being indecisive about everything.
The Sacramento Athletics are spending more money so far in Free Agency than the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Absolutely shameful
There are at least 8+ teams that are still looking for catching this offseason.
With a limited market available for that position and with the Pirates already having 3 viable options (Bart, Endy, Davis)
They should trade Jason Delay. He is a good defensive catcher that can hit.
I’m fine with not bringing Aroldis Chapman back.
Too much of a roller coaster ride all season and rather see that $10 million go elsewhere.
MLB wrote an article today about 1 trade candidate for each team this offseason.
They listed Bailey Falter for the Pirates.
He will be Arb-eligible for the next 4 seasons that will attract a lot of teams looking for
He is worth $12-18 million in free agency. He would bring in a very good return.
The SP market is crazy with how much these guys are going to cost teams. Montas getting 17 mil a year basically just set the market price. He had a 4.84 era last year.
The Pirates have so many SP and could definitely get some good pieces with trades
BC needs to be smart and make good trades.
The Steelers can win these games because of Russell Wilson.
He still has it. He has been great thus far.
Got to start strong this second half because Joe Burrow will always be dangerous
Why in the world would the Cubs hire Andy Haines to help out their minor league players for hitting?
Did they not see what he did to our team??
You know its bad when all the big teams and their fan bases are waiting to see if they sign Juan Soto and I’m over here waiting to see if the Pirates pick up a few interesting guys that were just non-tendered.
Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving Pirates fans!
MLB is going to destroy itself and it’s sad to see.
If you think having only 4 teams competing every year is good for the game, you’ll see your ratings be worse than MLS.
2027 CBA needs to come asap
