Well, not really.
But I was thinking today about a fairly impassioned argument someone made that 70-92 is actually 11 games under .500 and not 22.
Logical, yet not the accepted reasoning.
Can’t remember if that was on the old IMDB site or Twitter or something. But it made me think of this board, which I’m surprised is still going. Last time I posted here new Bucco ace Rich Hill was only in his early 40’s.

And Sid the Kid turned out to be pretty good. IMDb user in 2009: “not even the best player on his own team.”

Watching my like 20th straight Coyotes games since they apparently only play Colorado and Edmonton.
These dudes are kind of fun. Maccelli, Hayton, Valimaki all have some skill. Pittsburgh’s own Logan Cooley on the way. Keller is kind of a stud. Some building blocks there.
Discuss Arizona Coyotes here

And Sid the Kid turned out to be pretty good. IMDb user in 2009: “not even the best player on his own team.” Yeah he’s ok, though local media makes me resent him a bit more and more every year. Every season it’s “how can we bend the Hart criteria to make Crosby a candidate?” This year it’s talking about his season at 35 years old like he’s doing it at 50 years old. Not to suggest playing at a high level at 35 is to be expected, but sports medicine has come a long way. Ovechkin, Bergeron etc are still going strong. Elite athletes playing at high levels well past their peak happens quite a bit in all sports nowadays.

Elite athletes playing at high levels well past their peak happens quite a bit in all sports nowadays. It’s an asinine argument almost every year in every sport. The vast majority of the time it goes to the best player instead of “most valuable” whatever that means so I don’t know why fans/media get so hung up on it. Arguing for Crosby over McDavid at this point is a fool’s errand. Yeah, stick around Wolfman - I’m sure the Pirates’ season will be… uh… fun? At least, following it with the rest of us crazies on this board would make it more fun.

Jared Jones pulled after 59 pitches for some reason
Caps make playoffs, negating another Wings comeback with some help from a very shaky icing call.
Pens are out. Everyone in Pittsburgh hates Erik Karlsson but me.
Henry Davis can’t hit…or play catcher
Oneil Cruz on pace for 87000 strikeouts and still probably is playing the wrong position
How’s everyone else doing?

Pens did it to themselves.

Pulling Jones in that spot made zero sense, he was in complete command. I get it, they want to limit his innings later in the year, but he clearly had at least another inning in him, the Mets had no chance against him. Honestly, the Pirates look to be unprofessionally managed. They're slow to take action on certain plays, guys are out of position, they play very sloppy, just not a good look. They have some talented young players, if they can limit mistakes they can be a lot more dangerous. And O'Neil Cruz, he has all the talent in the world but they need to teach him some plate discipline.

I think the Bucs made a really nice move picking up catcher Joey Bart. SF never really gave him a chance.
When will #1 overall pick Paul Skenes be coming to Pittsburgh? At AAA, he 0-0, 0.00 ERA, 2 BB, 4 hits and 19 K's. This guy is going to be the best pitcher the Pirates have has in a long, looooooooooooooooooooooooooong time
