Pirates had THREE national broadcasts this week. And none of them were necessarily easy to watch for everyone. We'll get into the national broadcasts and have a chat about the defensive woes of this team. While we're at it... we make a case for wanting something new to watch already. Are we too early? Maybe... but after a 1-5 week and an 18-4 loss, there's bound to be some moody conver...

THE PIRATES WON A MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL GAME WITHOUT GETTING A SINGLE HIT! They also swept the Dodgers earlier this week AND made a TON of roster moves.

Starters still don't have a win. And we just lost a series to the struggling Reds. Roberto Perez is injured. For a while, too. And we just lost a series to the struggling Reds. This is bad. So, we're mad. But either way.. LET'S GO BUCS! Come hang out! https://linktr.ee/bridgetobuctober Check out Swearingen Bat Company! https://www.swearingenbaseball.com https://twitter.com/swearingenba...

Mitch Keller sure looks better this season, but as far as results, we're getting a mixed bag, still. We're still waiting for consistency and several good results in a row. Also, SP's can't buy a win; set an MLB record. And Saturday night will certainly go down as the best game in April 22. Unfortunately, in the midst of a 1-5 week. Come hang out! https://linktr.ee/bridgetobuctober...

The Pittsburgh Pirates lost a baseball game by 21. -- But still take 3 out of 4 in the series. I don't know about you... but I'd take that trade off every single time it's offered.

What's with these first innings? In order to have the most comeback wins, the Pirates might be trying to start every game from behind. Ok Ok... but it seems that way. This week, we're also taking a LOOK at how many strikes the Bucs' hitters are taking a look at. And we're still in overreaction season, so let's overreact... and LETS GO BUCS! https://linktr.ee/bridgetobuctober Ch...
