11 consecutive season series wins by the Cubs over the Pirates. Gag me. And thank you Ben Cherington.

Source: The Pirates are promoting their top prospect, Konnor Griffin, to Double-A Altoona. Griffin is rated the No. 1 prospect in baseball by both MLB Pipeline and Baseball America. The Pirates’ shortstop of the future is only two steps away from the major leagues.

Pittsburgh belongs in an East division

We need a good Tommy Pham brawl moment before this year is over

JFC Blue Jays lol

Second half Mitch 😕

Source: The Pirates are promoting Bubba Chandler to the big-leagues

Bubba Chandler will be used as a bulk reliever w/ the Pirates. The team views him as a starter long term and he can get starts this year, but the club wants him to get Major League experience and this is consistent with the role/expectations of other young pitchers like Ashcraft

Bullpen Bubba may just be a way of being like “yeah it was time to get you out of AAA, but you haven’t really earned this on the mound lately.” It’s fine, though maybe a little annoying if you wanted to pick out a day to go watch him pitch.

Salute to Oviedo. Long road back, rough first start, goes right back down, then back up and allows lead off HR. Rebounds for a solid outing against a great lineup. Good for him.

Really solid.

Oh yeah

Raise it

Pretty cool.
