Default Freakshow 2.0 - 2024 Pittsburgh Pirates - Let's Go Bucs!

3-0 start with a chance to sweep the Marlins tomorrow. Jones looks like a legit front-end starter. Bats are awake early. Pen looks great and Bedenar hasn't had to work much yet. Very promising start!

Let's go Bucs!

If nothing comes of Joey Bart, he's got a hell of a start.

Blame ESPN for anyone thinking otherwise. Doesn't help that he lost last season with the ankle.

Battling Buccos 7-2! Playing well against a good team so far this series. Win tomorrow and they have a legit case that they weren't just beating up on mediocre Marlin and Nats.

50 of 59 pitches thrown for strikes from Jones tonight. That's damned impressive. Guess they are keeping his workload light early in the season.

Bucs acquired Keiner Delgado awesome pick up from the yankees and a good prospect.

This team is in shambles. Last 20 they are 5-15. Cruz might lead the league in strikeouts this season. I could hope they turn it around but the bats are ice cold. On a positive note skenes might get called up his next turn is Sunday to pitch which is Bailey falters spot in the rotation.

Back to being awful. That escalated quickly.

Arguably one good position player right now in Hayes and he isn't exactly great. 0 HR I believe.

Bednar looks like he has regressed. Cruz does not look like a SS. Hitting I can't say because a ton of guys are struggling.

I thought Henry Davis was going to have great season. I was wrong.

Well, I was right about it being a Freakshow. What a piss-poor showing in Oakland.

Due to the recent play I think this thread deserves a bump. What a home stand taken 2/3 from the Phillies and 2/3 from the Cards. I hope we do pick up a strong bat or 2 by the deadline.

Great series win against the Astros. Big week of games coming up after a few good trades to shore up the lineup. I think the next 3 series will give us an idea if they have a shot to catch the Brewers.

I've made it to a couple of the games Skenes pitched this season & the atmosphere in the ballpark is something I haven't experienced there in easily a decade. It's nice to see competitive baseball back in Pittsburgh. Hopefully they can keep it up.
