This is why we're the best.
I heard the core pieces were Josh Bell and Glasnow. Id imagine someone like Tabata or Snider, and maybe a C prospect tacked on.
lol if they turned down Bell/Glasnow and other prieces. Maybe we dodged a bullet there
So wait, they turned down Bell/Glasnow + others, and ended up with Frankln/Smyly + that young Detroit shortstop?
Hard to believe that's true, but lol if it is.

I hate Sunday Night Baseball
Word on the street is they think they'll be competitive next season, which is probably true, and were looking for immediate MLB talent and not prospects. It's probably true considering I think most teams could have beat the Tigers package if prospects came in to play. Personally, I would have taken Bell and Glasnow, and tried to flip them considering both of their stocks are soaring atm.
I'm kind of glad as well. As today shows, we're not one piece away to competing, let alone that one piece being a pitcher... since our run support is bipolar
I have a feeling we were trying to trade Hanson too. We just transitioned him over to 2B, which leads me to believe that we were trying to artificially inflate his value by keeping him at SS.

Yeah I seen that, I wonder how much it has to do with him punting errors left and right. Maybe they are hoping his error numbers drop with a position change.
Polanco!!!
Sac Fly! tied game. Cutch noooo be ok!
But Bell is probably going to crack the majors at some point next season anyway. Glasnow will probably need another year between AA and AAA. And yeah, those guys are gonna have major value this offseason. If you want major league ready talent for next year, they would get a much better return on them than Smyly/Franklin.Word on the street is they think they'll be competitive next season, which is probably true, and were looking for immediate MLB talent and not prospects.

I'll give Beckett a pass since he starts really good and is playing injured. Haren on the other hand is just having trouble from the 1st.
Offense really needs to step it up when ever pitching is really bad. They can't be dependent on good pitching to give them the motivation to hit the ball.
edit: Hanley has been swinging at the first pitch today and been caught 3 times.
But Cutch just went into the clubhouse holding his back
Better not be from getting beaned yesterday...
I'm watching the game on ESPN's boxscore/gamecast since I'm not home atm :/

Fuck The Pirates for fucking my fantasy team. I hope they don't make the playoffs for another 20 years.

Whose on your fantasy team? Honestly, as a Pirates fan, the only player I trust to be consistent is Cutch.

Good ol' Pirates.
Game ain't looking pretty. Don't think we last too much longer considering our bullpen.

Crazy that even with Kershaw, Greinke and Ryu the dodgers STILL need a pitcher if they want to get anywhere. Giants will probably block any potential waiver deals too.
I guess this means they are dumping $150 million contracts at either Max Scherzer or Jon Lester if they come up short again this season.

That actually looked fine to me.
That was about as blatant as it gets.
Yeah sure bud.
