Pirates Opening Day

[Steeler Pride]

Really wondering if something is up with Skenes elbow...his pitching in the WBC was not his usual spot hitting, and he just got lit up like the Christmas Tree at Rockefeller. Definitely not a good start to the season.

Same ol', same ol'.

We scored some runs at least.

37 pitches in the first inning is madness! Cruze ******** the bed on those two plays certainly didn't help. On a positive note, welcome to Pittsburgh Mr. Lowe.

Lowe and Hearns are legit sluggers..

 

[steel dino]

Same ol', same ol'.

Shortest outing of Skenes' career.

Shortest Opening Day start ever by a reigning Cy Young winner.

Tied for the most ER he’s ever allowed in a game.

Could've there have been a worse opening day in Pittsburgh Pirates history ?!

If I wasn't laughing, I'd cry ... embarrassing... again.

On the bright side.... 161 games to go!

 

[Sarge]

Skenes' ERA is 67.5 right now. Stunning to see him get hit around like that.

One thing in Skenes' defense ...

CRUZ !! He sucks in CF. Ball falls in front of you, its still in front of you. Once its over your head, you're f----d. Somebody buy him some shades.

 

[Pittsburgh Charlie]

Lol it’s one game relax guys
Mets fan here and we are MLB best 43-26 on opening day

Good luck win the central

 

[stillerfaninfl]

0-2. Nothings changed.

Was a crazy game but I think you’re bullpen was good until the end and defense was stellar plus they played real hard

 

[Supersteeler]

They finally got one today. The positive sign so far is that they are battling in every game and fighting until the end. Other than Skenes' disastrous start the otheer pitchers looked good and the hitting has been pretty good.

 

[steel dino]

We had them alllll the way!!!

 

[Sarge]

Pirates recalled Konnor Griffin.

Pirates recalled Konnor Griffin.

Did they sign him to a major league contract yet?

 

[Sarge]

Did they sign him to a major league contract yet?

Don’t know. Triolo needs to be on the bench until he figures out how to hit.

 

[Steeltime]

Did they sign him to a major league contract yet?

That's the only thing that makes sense. No way you burn a year of eligibility by not waiting two more weeks unless they worked out an extension.

 

[Steeltime]

Best guess on the likely Griffin contract? I think 8 years, $110 million.
