The Steelers brass said they had full faith in Kenny Pickett weeks before they traded him.
The Steelers brass labeled Graham Barton as a 'generational talent' then passed on him in the draft.
The Steelers brass said 'nothing is going on' today.

Something tells me there is.

Zay Jones, welcome to the wheel of Steelers WR speculation

Can we go back to the time where gambling was a seedy, underground thing that wasn’t thrown in our faces 24/7 everywhere we go? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Meanwhile, the Pirates’ supposed “unicorn” has as many HR as Joey Bart (in roughly three times as many ABs) and has made as many “wow” plays all season as Elly does in one series. 😑

When you’re five years into a rebuild, tied for last place and have failed to develop even one good major league hitter:

please retweet to get the word out!

This claim by BC that everyone is underperforming is simply wrong. Here’s Zips projected wRC+/actual wRC+

Hayes 101/111
Oliveras 99/110
Joe 115/130
Bart 91/164
Williams 85/125
Reynolds 120/114
Cruz 106/79
McCutchen 103/88
Triolo 87/62
Taylor 83/64
Davis 104/49
(1/3)

Rain may be on the way this afternoon, but sunrise in #Pittsburgh this morning was beautiful. There was a bit of color before sunrise and then some beautiful light just after the sun crossed the horizon, allowing for this scene from the Duquesne Incline.

Some ugly numbers piling up for Pirates offense:
Since 1901, franchise has just 12 instances of a worse BA (.232) through 1st 30 GP
Pirates' 283 K through 1st 30 GP = franchise record
No position player thru 1st 30 GP of PIT franchise has more than Oneil Cruz's 44 K

Pirates fan wakes up after being in a coma since Opening Day: How’s the offense looking?
Us:

Good morning.

Not even May yet and the Pirates are incredibly hard to watch. They normally wait a little longer than this!

Have a blessed evening

“Coming up this weekend … more frustrating offense. 1-800-BUY-BUCS.”

One of the most frustrating things about the offensive Pirates offense is no one seems upset about this at 115 Federal Street. Shelton calls it a slump, GMBC says basically every position player (!!!) isn’t meeting projections. The complacency, at least publicly, is maddening. 😑

Point I made on my First 10 podcast today: GMBC said 3 guys (Joe, Williams & Bart) were meeting internal projections.

30 games in. How's it not concerning that 10 of your 13 position players aren't meeting internal expectations/projections?

My guess: problem bigger than slumps.

Live look at the Pirates’ offense:

Pirates have scored one gift run and have one hit through five innings against a guy who began the game 1-4 with a 7.06 ERA in five starts this season. Just brutal.

Mt. Washington. Sandwich Street. An intoxicated male is drinking a bottle of liquor in public and dancing to his car alarm.
