He's the hitting coach, not on the roster, but Daniel Vogelbach is going to get a ring this year

the path to the world series is long and arduous, but it ends the same way every time: a guy who Pirates fans insisted was a bum who wouldn't make any other roster gets a ring. this year's candidates: Rowdy Tellez Austin Hedges Tommy Pham Miguel Andujar

Before declaring this the small ball and fundamentals World Series we really should have checked to see if the Rays could play defense

maybe its not so bad

Unfortunately I have decided I want the Guardians to win because Little Turtleneck is one of my favorite baseball outfits and we won’t get that if both locations are indoors/Florida.

It shouldn't surprise me but it really is amazing that people put on a Chief Wahoo hat, look themself in the mirror and are like "yeah that's how I want to look, that's good. no problems"

It gets said a lot but it really is remarkable how the brewers build a roster out of "who?" and "that guy??" and win 90 games a year

baseball on the radio is one of the USA's truly great homegrown art forms. up there with jazz

Nothing could’ve prepared me for the ad read of the century from the Brewers radio broadcast after that Christian Yelich go-ahead single:

Trevor and Tylor Megill are brothers, and both classic galoot-style MLB pitchers, and yet they are both instantly identifiable as different kinds of galoots. This is one of those things that is "just baseball."

Getting strongly invested in the White Sox run because it's fun in a million different ways, but also because my good friend who is a die-hard sox fan is getting married the day of world series game 2 and I would like to watch him explode.

"i'm 90 percent fur," Biberty cries. I stop sharpening my cleaver and lock eyes with him, my right hand gripping him from behind. I give a couple of medium-firm squeezes and a smile. He's marbled like kobe beef. By the way he just sighed, he knows it.

last week: AI WILL KILL US ALL this week: this cute little anthropomorphic thingy orders groceries correctly 60% of the time so i have given it my social security number and birth certificate and legally made it the executor of my will

Been thinking about it and I think what I really want is Brewers/White Sox in the World Series. Winner gets to keep Lake Michigan

sorry to my spouse who will have to endure yet another spring of "they've really got some good young talent this year"

The Pirates have won 81 games in 2026 That ends seven straight losing seasons, dating back to 2019 Was tied for the second-longest streak in baseball

sitting 99 with 9 more innings to get the job done, I will be watching

(P)irateFan@sidneycrosbae.bsky.social

All I care about for the next 4 games is that we get 3 more home runs so an intern has to print out a 1 and duct tape it to the sign.

Watching the Pirates play competent baseball as they manufacture the go-ahead run in the bottom of the 8th on a walk, steal, throwing error, and sac fly. Feeling nothing but emptiness

"It’s just changed so much. There’s so much more technical stuff. It’s kind of restricted us. I mean, everything is black and white now. You can’t **manage the game**" GOOD
