There's a Games forum if you need to regress back to your childhood, instead of discussing Pittsburgh.

Pirates open Sunday, i don't have tickets but I'll probably go downtown and hit the tailgate parties in the lots anyway.

Radio is actually bitching about losing Alvarez's home run potential, they seem to forget that he struck out constantly and posted a 0.1 WAR despite hitting 27 home runs in 2015, Jaso is an upgrade in every single way and gets on base like some kind of magical dreadlocked leprechaun.

I feel really bad for the Pirates because I lived in Atlanta from 1989-1994 and got to witness them being amazing but literally one game not good enough. I'm glad they have made the playoffs recently.

Absolutely, fact of the matter is that Alvarez was a draft bust and a liability. He was lucky enough to be above average at the showiest thing in baseball, but he was subpar at everything else.

Jaso is not a power man but he has an incredible eye at the plate and he is defensively a far better player than Alvarez will ever be.

Agreeing with this, and even without home runs the Royals have proven that putting men on the bags by any means necessary turns into points on the board. The dead ball era strategies still work.

Sports are an outlet for human tribalism and bring people together during bad times. Pittsburgh was economically falling apart in the seventies and early eighties but we had the Pirates and the Steelers to hold us together.

Brad Pittsburgh. Before that it was called Wahlburgh. It's a weird city but still the best one - with the best sports, people, industry, and culture - in the history of the world.

if you're going to circlejerk do it about something that is at least tangentially related to computers and doesn't force taxpayers to fund stadiums. pittsburgh has people in it probably

I'll miss Alvarez's monster home runs for the sheer spectacle but he was a liability on offense and defense, no doubt.

WHYGAVS had a good post on the rotation and the role of fifth starters.

His blog is irreplaceable for pirates writing.

Pittsburgh hosts the National Supercomputing Center. Everything about Pittsburgh is computer-related.

The Pirates base their decisions heavily on statistics, which is also very computer.

The county has 1.2m people in it, and the county is smaller than Jacksonville FL. Pittsburgh's "low population" is the result of balkanization and artificially restrained cit limit size.
