Luke Maile is unbelievably slow. That was a nice play & all, but shouldn’t have been close.

Watching this team hit is a frustrating endeavor.

I don't know all the limitations that FO's place on managers but ... this steaming pile of rubbish in the 6-7-8-9 ... there is really zero excuse for players on a big league roster to be this completely inept. I mean the occasional slump is one thing, but wow.
Quantum computing promises to be a revolutionary tool, making short work of equations that classical computers would struggle to ever complete. Yet the workhorse of the quantum device, known as a qubit, is a delicate object prone to collapsing.
@kinsm can elaborate more on this lineup topic. He has worked for the Pirates behind the scenes.
Might have been before baseball totally went the route it goes now though?

Bell is the middle manager. He's implement policies decided by the front office. He probably had a say in those policies, but I'm sure it was a group decision including Krall and other baseball guys. In the game, he works within those parameters. One parameter might have been that they were going to platoon in the outfield, so he does that.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
This outfield is just casually there. Hanging out. senzel was gonna wait for an uber to take him to that ball.

Stephenson has no business playing first base.

this is like a JV high school team. you find yourself saying things like "yeah but they tried hard."
That hit the end of the bat.

This Josh Smith has a real Archibald “Moonlight” Graham quality to him.
