Well, at least the 48 injured Pirate pitchers might have a chance to heal.

I saw they did activate Keone Kela off the inactive/COVID list, so if they ever hold a lead in the late innings, he'll have a 50% chance to hold it or blow it. At best.

Starling Marte hitting almost 400 

What the hell is it about players leaving Pittsburgh and turning into superstars?

Not that marte and others weren’t good in Pittsburgh, but it’s like leaving that club makes them 3x better automatically.

4-13.

Was watching the Blue Jackets with friends. After that was over, we switched to the Pirates vs. Reds. And Pittsburgh was up 9-0 in the damn second inning. I was shocked. The part where the lead faded to 9-6 and Cincy was one hit away from making it real tight --- not surprising in the least. The part where it stayed 9-6...I still don't believe it.

The race to 10 wins is still on!

Huh, and after having three games with the Cards postponed due to the 'rona, the final two games of this series are for the same reason.

Might sound bad, but I kind of feel like an abused kid off the hook for two days because dad's too ill to grab his belt.

4-15. They were threatening to get the win for a while, but reality set in.

4-17. The expected result, but I was drinking at a friend's and didn't pay attention, so whatever. Just lose the other 39 and call it a wrap, guys!

And the team prez has the 19er.


Or maybe he just said he has it so he doesn't have to go and endure the losses in person.

Considering I'm a fan of the team and I had the option to watch all three of their games with Cleveland on STO and I watched a total of 3 innings and was drinking, playing on my phone and talking to people while those innings were on, I'd guess if I were in his shoes, I'd fake illness if that option came to mind.

6-17! Think that might be the first 2-game win streak of the year. Although I am worried. They are threatening to just be really bad now instead of the historically bad train wreck kind of team that is at least entertaining in its own way.

I had Pirates, Braves (what a comeback!), and Cardinals in a 3-team partay that hit for a decent amount. I am now a pirates fan I think

7-17. Three wins in a row! Two of our better-hitting starters (Moran, Newman) injured!

But it is nice to humiliate the Brewers. Four wins in 21 games and then three straight over them. Dudes need to commit ritual suicide to retain their honor after that!

7-18 --  In a way, I'm kind of surprised this is the first time they were no-hit this year.
