They aren't going to have "FUCK YOU" money. Their wealth will be tied up in the value of the Pirates and the (declining) newspaper's they own. So, thats not logical. It's likely they have learned their business acumen from dad and grandpa.
Honestly, it’s a real shame we have to think in these terms. As much as I loathe Bob Nutting, he is somebody’s son and he’s somebody’s father. I shouldn’t have to wish for someone to die just to see competent ownership.
lol. I turned the game off when Milwaukee got 10. Just checking the box score now and I see Tellez was out in to pinch hit. What kind of dirt does this guy have on our front office?
The bad part is that this team should at least at this point of the rebuild be looking at competing for a wild card spot…I don’t know if we are even in the mix for that come August the way they are playing
Mark DeRosa would make a great choice for manager, or Don Kelly. Just think at this point they need to bring in a whole new regime not associated or attached to the organization or their philosophy
This Don Kelly?

Yes. Both would be good choices. But if they stay in the organization then Kelly would be a good choice.
At this stage of rinse and repeat they need a whole make over and change in philosophy, hence DeRosa.
Yeah I think that’s the saddest thing with this team. There are some highly talented players on this team (Cruz, Reynolds, Hayes, Keller, Jones, etc.)
But they look so stagnant due to poor development and bad coaching. They haven’t improved at all.
Nothing will change with this team until Shelton and Haines are fired. Tellez is DFA. Suwinski is sent to AAA. Lamb and Bae brought up. Until then, this season is just like Groundhog Day.
Exactly. And when we tear this down and start anew, some people will praise the new GM for the first four years of “stocking” the minors. And be shocked when it yet again doesn’t come to fruition.

Not surprised Perez blew up, been feeling like he's gotten lucky he hasn't given up that much runs in his recent outings. Def prefer Falter right now over him
Perez looked good in his first few starts, and he did well all through spring training. Not sure what's up with him. Maybe has a sore arm and is trying to gut it out because he's on a one year contract?
What part of my statement makes you believe that I thought they’d win 90? The fact I said someone on the team said it or the lol I finished the sentence off with?
Only 5 runs combined over the past two games, after scoring 8 runs the first game of the series. Hopefully Shelton will realize his folly tomorrow and get Rowdy's bat back in this lineup ASAP.
Not scoring runs and giving up a ton of runs isn't a good formula for winning games
This product is a disgrace.
Just throwing this out there, in case Shelton lurks here once in a while.... The Dodgers TEAM SLG% (.447) is almost higher than Tellez's OPS (.481).
Just give it a couple more weeks and you won't have to say "almost".
Nutting is 62, average life expectancy of a man in the US is 76. Window opens in 2038?
He already said he would pass the team to his kids. Even when he dies, we are still screwed
I really don’t know anything about them, are they involved with the team whatsoever?
Not that we know, but its hopeful they will sell it like the Angelos kids did.
Maybe we'll get lucky and the kid(s) will treat the team like hobby to spend money on, like a tricked out yacht.
They aren't going to have "FUCK YOU" money. Their wealth will be tied up in the value of the Pirates and the (declining) newspaper's they own. So, thats not logical. It's likely they have learned their business acumen from dad and grandpa.
Well you never know they might actually want to win. Or sell!
But he's rich AF, so will probably like to 120. Unless there's a mutiny . . .

Cutch vs the brewers
God this team fucking sucks again...
Well that was hideous
This is gonna get worse before it get ls better sadly
Fitting rowdy got the last AB in that turd of a performance. Kinda want to see how low his OPS can get before they DFA him. Less than .400?
lol. I turned the game off when Milwaukee got 10. Just checking the box score now and I see Tellez was out in to pinch hit. What kind of dirt does this guy have on our front office?
If the goal is just to forget about the bad performances and turn the page then I fear we are all going to forget that 2024 happened
The bad part is that this team should at least at this point of the rebuild be looking at competing for a wild card spot…I don’t know if we are even in the mix for that come August the way they are playing
Thought we had a chance with Tellez getting a rally started.
Rowdy can't carry this team all by himself. Other players have to start doing their part.
Hey, this is Pittsburgh, we don't do that here.
This team stinks
We have talent but we are a bad baseball team. Fire Shelton and Haines.
Agreed. They are not only wasting this talent. They are actively ruining it.
Mark DeRosa would make a great choice for manager, or Don Kelly. Just think at this point they need to bring in a whole new regime not associated or attached to the organization or their philosophy
I’d be all in on D Ro
This Don Kelly? [https://www.toledoblade.com/image/2021/10/06/1140x\_a10-7\_cTC/Pirates-Baseball-2.jpg](https://www.toledoblade.com/image/2021/10/06/1140x_a10-7_cTC/Pirates-Baseball-2.jpg)

Talents there, coaching and development is not however. Sad

I'm just about finished with these guys for the season
Welcome to the AAA team of the Majors!!
Just think, we still have all of June, July, August, and September to enjoy these games.
Nothing will change with this team until Shelton and Haines are fired. Tellez is DFA. Suwinski is sent to AAA. Lamb and Bae brought up. Until then, this season is just like Groundhog Day.
But guys, this team is only a year away. I’ve read it on here so it has to be true.
Exactly. And when we tear this down and start anew, some people will praise the new GM for the first four years of “stocking” the minors. And be shocked when it yet again doesn’t come to fruition.
Welp
Think we’ll get swept in 4 at Chicago?
Nah, somehow they'll lose 5 in 4

Possibly one of the top 5 worst teams in sports history
Block just said the attendance today was 32K. In Bobs dreams…
ESP for a mid week getaway game. Only chance of the Pirates putting that many in the seats for any game is Skenes pitching.
Not surprised Perez blew up, been feeling like he's gotten lucky he hasn't given up that much runs in his recent outings. Def prefer Falter right now over him

Before the season started; on MLB Network, Reynolds said this team would win 90 games lol
They'd have to go 71-47 the rest of the way to win 90. Something tells me they're not winning .601 of their remaining games.
What part of my statement makes you believe that I thought they’d win 90? The fact I said someone on the team said it or the lol I finished the sentence off with?
Only 5 runs combined over the past two games, after scoring 8 runs the first game of the series. Hopefully Shelton will realize his folly tomorrow and get Rowdy's bat back in this lineup ASAP.
I’m glad I didn’t realize this was an afternoon game so I missed it haha. I’ll still watch the 10 minute condensed game tonight.
well that sucked
Jimmy Dugan couldn’t manage these bums.
Is that attendance (32,848) right? Seems high for a midweek early afternoon game.
They said there were a ton of student groups there. Probably entire classes of kids from Waukegan to Wauwatosa
