Cause it certainly seems like it's "screw it we'll do it live". Don't worry Pirate fans don't understand them either. They don't have a direction unless that direction is to show how incompetent a front office can be. When they were actual contenders they didn't make any big moves. Had to keep their precious prospects. Now when they are a .500 team they sell the farm despite trading away Cole earlier this year for scraps. The owner is a piece of crap. Constant lies from the front office. I would have had no problem if they did a rebuild but you have to be committed to it. Don't half - you know what - it. The 11 game win streak right before the trading deadline put pressure on the front office to make a move instead of sticking to rebuilding. Huntington said he would make moves if they played better. Of course he figured they wouldn't but they did and it put him in a bad position. This will perpetually be an ordinary team. Hurdle is way past his expiration date as a manager yet they give him a freaking four year deal prior to the season. No power in the minors. One decent pitching prospect and that's it. At least they received back controllable pitchers in the two deadline deals but it's too bad they didn't have this dedication to improve the team when they were at the top of the standings a few years ago.

hrubes20 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Chris Archer has been an absolute dumpster fire since joining the Pirates. Yeesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 And meanwhile the Ray's fixed Glasnow and Meadows and are gonna win 90+ games and look great for next season. Yeah this is real bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhanYouDigIt Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 You can run all day on Glasnow right now but he’ll figure it out. Sure looks like the Rays made out like bandits. I wanted Archer for the Braves but Gausman has pitched extremely well for us and we didn’t give up nearly as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was bad but tbh his defense let him down in a huge way. Should have been like a 3 runs allowed start instead of 6. But this trade was bad from the get-go. Why anyone would give up on Glasnow is beyond me, and you don't get to claim that OF isn't a huge need when you're playing Corey Dickerson in LF.

When the trade went down people were saying that Glasnow was garbage and only useful as a pen arm. So yea, they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything it’s a humongous indictment on the Pirates’ player dev and coaching. They’ve taken the mantle from the Twins for the most backward, one dimensional system. You shouldn’t have multiple guys implementing obvious changes and becoming stars overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
