If they made a move for a couple of bats, with this top of the rotation, they could be a dangerous playoff team.

Ummmmm they made some moves!!

I was generally happy with their deadline moves. I think they will regret moving Priester. But I am happy they made some meaningful additions and I am even more happy they didn't trade away the future to do so.

Why is Marco Gonzalez in the starting rotation. He is so bad. Most pitches barely in the mid 80s. You can't tell me they don't have anything better in the minors. It's an automatic loss when he pitches. They need to pitch Skenes every other day

I guess they will let Trash bag Holderman keep blowing games until they are completely out of the race. Absolutely mystifying why idiot Shelton keeps putting this turd in. How does Shelton have a job, oh that's right the owner sure doesn't give a @@@@

And Bednar blows it in the 9th second day in a row. The guy has an era over 5, why on earth he is still closing, terrible.

If today's game doesn't get Shelton fired, nothing will. What an absolute joke. He not only pitches Bednar 1 inning, but brings him for the 10th with no one warming up the entire time. I'm convinced they are trying to lose. You don't keep someone that inept running a team, he's a clown.

They make decent trades -- probably the best ones they could make for bats -- and pitching tanks. Bucs have the most 1-run losses, right?

Sooooo, what happened? Need to fire the manager for next season, right?

The Tigers are going to frigging make the playoffs and here we are once again 10+ games under .500 as always.

What do you think happened? They were 1 game out of the WC at the break, and made some decent moves at the deadline, right? Manager? Schedule?
They need to build around this rotation next year and probably fire Shelton. They still lack a reliable big stick.

Wait, did I just read they DFA Tellez who needed 4 more plate appearances to earn a $200k bonus? Dirty.

Already hard enough to sign FAs, I am sure this won't help.

The most embarrassing franchise in all of sports. Such a shame they let a piece of garbage like this buy a team. Nutting, cherrington, Shelton are all a joke.

Skenes is counting the days to when he gets out of that @#@# hole of team. Best stadium in the league going to waste. I don't know how Nutting even shows his face in the city.

And he has been our best reliever since the break! lmao

Have they even made a single move yet? They have a decent top end of the rotation and one of the top pitching prospects in baseball. Pivetta went 4/55 M which is a reasonable price for a small market team in return for a solid arm. They will again apparently waste this young talent. It’s sad to be a Pittsburgh sports fan in general and there doesn’t appear to be an end in sight.

You're joking, right?
You're unaware of Adam Frazier? Tommy Pham? Spencer Horwitz?
They even resigned Cutch!!!
They're loaded. I've already placed a chair down on Federal Street to reserve my spot for the World Series victory parade.

Perhaps David Bednar should not be pitching in any high leverage situations? Just a thought. But what do I know - I’m not the manager of this team.

This is the worst team in the league by a wide margin. Skenes will only win a game if he completes it and they somehow score a run. The owner, gm, manager are all garbage. It's a shame all Pittsburgh sports teams are unwatchable. For some strange reason, all of the head coaches are a joke and will never get fired.
