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.

College basketball anyone?
