All of this talk of kids pitching is distracting from the fact that the PITTSBURGH PIRATES have the best record / run differential in Major League Baseball.

so...

I'll check back next year
 
Again...



For the fifth straight season, Mike Trout will miss extended time. Seems like a great dude, but durability, or lack thereof, is a key skill/weakness.

Surprised the Bucs are bringing him up now, before the Super 2 date or whatever it’s called. But his AAA numbers are absurd. Absolutely no reason to wait.

He doesn't need the four or five more minor league games he would get in the rest of May to show he is ready for "the show."

However, it is surprising the Pirates are essentially giving up a season of starts in the future for around 5 starts this year. Pirates are a small market team and best guess is they lose Skenes when he hits free agency. Why push that ahead a year?
