Re: The other games 2025

I don’t know if it’s industry wide or not, but the Pirates market the team toward the casual fan. The announcers are there both to describe the action and to provide entertainment. They are on camera just about every inning and often for lengthy periods of time. They’re either trying to provide come...

Re: Official Griping About Announcers Thread

Yesterday's preseason game devoted an entire inning to Brown and Walk discussing and laughing about Walk's shirt with them on camera for the majority of the inning. I wish I could say it was only because it was a preseason game but that's pretty much how they do every game. I guess they're in midsea...

Re: 2025 Official OBN Predictions Thread

I'm afraid it's going to be ugly. We've actually decided to enter a season without a legitimate 1B or RF. Unreal. Our offense has question marks all over the place. And with the exception of Cruz, virtually no power. As for pitching, Skenes is obviously a stud. But is Jones going to take the next s...

MLB didn't say who will be at 4 PM and who will be at 5 PM.
They just said Pirates at 4.

Re: 2025 Spring Training

Okay, should I start to worry? I thought the Pirates strength this year was to be their pitching. They've given up a lot of runs over the last few days. These stats mean nothing. In ST, pitchers are often working on pitches and less concerned with results. The same holds true for opposing pitchers ...

Re: Random MLB fun facts

The 1961 Pirates only stole 26 bases and were caught 30 times. Joe Christopher led the team, stealing 6 bases in 10 tries. Bill Virdon was second with 5 steals in 13 tries. The 26 steals were the lowest SB total in MLB and they were the only team caught stealing more than they were successful.
