Somehow even when we get the crap kicked out of us, we still seem to barely lose The Buccos go down 8-7. It wasn’t much of a game until the Bucs woke up in the bottom of the 9th when they put up 5 runs, but it was too little too late. Cal Mitchell had…

The Bucs are coming into this one in a rough state, losing 8 of their last 10…

Blech. Another day, another close loss. The Bucs far and away lead the MLB in 1 or 2 loss games. It’s quite frustrating having all these games fall the wrong way, but that’s the way it goes when you can can’t even rack up a half dozen hits on any given day. Oneil Cruz continues…

Another frustrating extra innings loss as the Bucs fall to the Marlins 3-2 in 11 to split the series 2-2. It was another strong showing by a starting pitcher, Zach Thompson this time, going 6 and 2/3s and responsible for 1 run on 4 hits. The offense just isn’t giving these guys any support, only…

Raise the Jolly Roger!!🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ The Buccos take down the Brewers 8-6 AND the series 2-1 in a thrilling display of offense the Pirates haven’t seen since the invention of the catcher’s mitt. 13 hits, wow.

Blech, well that one sure was a bummer. Kevin Newman’s return to the field ended the game on one of the most bizarre decisions to send the runner home, resulting in being thrown out by a solid 25 feet. Gross. Bucs go down 4-3. #OnPace Check: the fine line keeps getting finer, yes (.405 W%)….
