I always look at HR's first and figure a high K rate for those players. Then I look at the ratio of K's to Walks. Worst on our team right now is BDLC in a SSS, but of the "regulars", the worst is Nick Gonzales with a Ratio of 5.18 K's for every 1 BB. Tellez and Bart are above 3/1, but have hit a double figure number of HR's. Oneil Cruz is a 4.13 K's for every BB, but he has hit 18 HR, second on the team, so he gets a pass.
We would still be in the lotto, with having the 9th pick this year, it reset our clock. We're good for 25 and 26 as long as the payroll is high enough other teams give Nutting money to help pay salaries lol. Can't make this shit up.
They sure showed Bob Nutting with this draft lotto! Forcing that inveterate loser and penny-pincher to have a $12M draft pool while he avoids spending $80M on free agents is a real "we got him, Dirk" moment.
Nice to see them resting Rowdy's arm tonight. Don't want to wear out your key bullpen arm.
Luis Peralta with another scoreless inning, he's been lights out all year at every level.
Cruz with an .801 ops
Cruz is hammering the ball.
Maybe only bench him for a week then.
That or extend him.
we´re going to pull this one out tonight
I think you need to see a doctor
sun of a gun
Our Buccos with the 4th highest K rate in the majors. Dreadful

They are on pace for the team record. Current rate would have them at 1,507 for the season. Record is 1,497.
It's the weather.
Amazingly bad!
Severino hit for the cycle for Bradenton, that's some good news. Mueth pitched good, in 2 or 3 maybe 4 years we might have reinforcements.
move severino to greensboro. do it.
We have 7 hits; they have 7 hits. They have 9 runs we 3. Love it!
Davis in mid season form, but at least he plays the game right. 🥸
His arm doesn't come unattached when he swings a bat like Endy's so there's that.
Unfortunately his bat rarely hits the ball.
I don't think Endy's did when he had his freak swing injury either
Fire Shelton....tonight!
yeah but who are we hiring to replace him?
I’ve seen the list: Tony Muser. Pedro Grifol. Mike Redmond. Don Wakamatsu. Cecil Cooper.
Cervelli has expressed interest.
Skip Shumaker. John Wehner. Pretty much anybody.
Cutch!
Yesterday
Man, being a fan of this team hurts.
Anyone know the last time a position player had to close out three games in four days? Maybe it’s never happened.
I'd let Cruz sling it.
Cherington is showing the same skill with bullpens that he does with hitters.
A rare skill indeed.
In the pregame they showed nutting in the dugout. Hope he’s still there.
Pirates are 1269-1511 since Bob Nutting took over as principal owner in 2007. I'm sure embarrassing baseball has no impact on him by now.
Yeah he's definitely numb to it.
How many winning season with Nutting as owner?
4
4. Totally reasonable amount in 17 years right?
All Huntington
I'm how many years?
17 but there have only been the same number—4—since 1993 obviously. 2238-2741 which is worth nothing but a laugh.
21?
Eerily similar to 2017 when Glasnow, Cole & Taillon went into Wrigley & all 3 got rocked.
Hopefully Skenes ends the movie differently this time.
I figure the "top 3" tankathon slots are locked up but Pirates still have a shot at 4.
Would be absolutely hilarious if the White Sox still didn't get the first pick, even after the season they are having
They can't get it. Both they and Oakland are out of the lotto. https://www.tankathon.com/mlb
That's even more hilarious lol
It is until we go 60-102 next year and are out of the lotto :(
