Jared Jones is working towards his return to the @Pirates rotation, but he's having fun hoisting the cone in the dugout in the meantime 🏴‍☠️

HBD 🎂 (4/15/60) to #Pittsburgh #Pirates 🏴‍☠️ fan favorite “Rambo” Mike Diaz!

His best season was 1987 when Diaz set career highs in HR (16) & RBI (48) in only 241AB. He played 1B, LF, RF & C, & provided a right-handed power bat off the bench.

Bummer that the Pirates didn't come all the way back in this game, but honestly I'm not worried about it. They seemed to have a good mindset the whole time and just came up a little short. Keep working and playing like this and they'll keep winning more than they lose. #LetsGoBucs

👀 SOMBRERO WATCH 👀
Oneil Cruz (PIT) is 0-5 with 3 strikeouts in the ninth inning. #LetsGoBucs

The Posey Rule serves a purpose, but it's also stupid because anytime there's a play at the plate it's "Posey Rule!" immediately from the dugout no matter what.
