Paul Skenes will face MLB rehabber Max Kepler and recently signed Tony Kemp tonight
MLB announces that Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Aroldis Chapman receives a two-game suspension and fine for his inappropriate actions in the bottom of the eighth inning Monday against the New York Mets.
We have placed RHP Quinn Priester on the Major League taxi squad. He is expected to be recalled to the 26-man active roster for tomorrow’s game.
Larry Brown, who played 12 MLB seasons, just passed away at 84. I noticed today that both he & his brother Dick Brown have the black band tribute on their BR page. His brother passed away 54 yrs ago today at 35 due to brain tumors, played nine MLB seasons baseball-reference.com/players/b/brow…

It feels like fans have to pick a day to just all tell MLB to fire Angel Hernandez. Like a one-day protest at all parks being used that day or one day everyone comments “fire Angel Hernandez” on every post they make. Something that they have to respond to

C Yasmani Grandal will begin a rehabilitation assignment tonight with Triple-A Indianapolis.
A good trivia question for your fellow Pirates fans is to name the first member of the 300-homer club who played for the Pirates at any point during their career. Who knows it off-hand? You may have heard his name today....
Anthony Solometo, by way of the K. The @Pirates southpaw (MLB's No. 76 prospect) gets a punchout to escape a little first-inning jam for the @AltoonaCurve. Watch this game FREE: atmlb.com/3NzZ69Q
We have recalled RHP Ryder Ryan from Triple-A Indianapolis and placed LHP Marco Gonzales on the 15-day Injured List.
Next year will be the 150th season of the National League. In 1925, the NL celebrated 50 season with a patch. In 1976, they celebrated the 100th anniversary with a patch. So will we get a patch in 2025 for 150 seasons OR 2026 for the 150th anniversary?
Didn't get a chance to post about this yesterday, but @EthanHullihen posted his breakdown of the Opening Day payroll for the 2024 Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday. Have a read and see where the Pirates were at! bucsondeck.substack.com/p/breaking-dow… #LetsGoBucs

Pirates have added minor league Rule 5 pick PJ Hilson to the Bradenton roster. The 23-year-old came over from the Giants. Unfortunately, Hilson is replacing Braylon Bishop on the active roster. Bishop was placed on the 7-day IL

I love baseball. But it's truly sad to me that, for the first time in the history of the game, you can't tell your kids to watch MLB and do what they do. ☹️Hitters watch fastballs down the middle for strike 3 constantly. They don't care about striking out. They don't…

In New York catching my @Pirates at The Mets. Jones on the bump, let’s go BUUUUUCS!!! CUUUUZ!!! I look like Jimmy Leyland 🤣
Thanks John. Here’s lengthy righty Kevison Hernandez getting ready in the am
Here’s an entire thread of highlights for Pittsburgh Pirates prospects down in extended spring training. Enjoy
Carlos Jimenez with a solid, start for the Bradenton Marauders. 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K (53 pitches; 34 strikes). Fastball 94-96. @JohnDreker is very high on the 21-year-old righty
I understand that the legal process necessary to terminate Angel Hernandez would be painful, but at this point I think it needs to be said that MLB is disrespecting the fans by not doing it. No one SEEMS to be doing anything about a situation that is an ongoing embarrassment.
#Pirates Ralph Kiner led all of baseball with 329 home runs from 1940 to 1953. He made his MLB debut 78 years ago today on April 16, 1946, after serving during World War II, quickly accounting for the lost time.
Ballpark radar (which was relayed by the broadcast) just had Pirates prospect Wilber Dotel at triple digits on back to back fastballs in the first and has been 97+ multiple times.
@JohnDreker Ah Greenberg. Should have thought of that one. Thanks.
No. 1 ➡️ June 17, 2009 No. 300 ➡️ April 14, 2024
@JohnDreker Good question. It may be that with the proliferation of sleeve ads, there won't be room.
What a moment.
@JohnDreker @RareBird57 Yeah I looked it up, he didn’t really hit many! lol
@JohnDreker Dang. Think I'm going to need to look this one up. I felt good about Greenberg.
@JohnDreker Time to shake things up. Pull the trigger.
