Five Pirates Thoughts at Five – First Full Squad Day
This Saturday at 1:05 PM, I’ll be in another world. Oh, I’ll still be in Pittsburgh, but when I put in my headphones and tune in the Pirates vs the Twins for the first game of the Grapefruit League schedule, I’ll be right there and I probably won’t miss more than a handful of innings this team plays for the next seven and a half months unless they make it last longer lord willing.

Five Pirates Thoughts at Five – Only One More Before Pitchers and Catchers Report
It’s getting real now. The folks who’ve spent all off season telling everyone to calm down because there was so friggin’ much time left, well, let’s just say in my Q&A this week, they were now the ones asking… Are they going to get another pitcher or not?
Compete for the Division in 2024? Maybe, but I Don’t Think I’ll be Predicting it.
