It's honestly just somewhat nice to see them as buyers with other teams around them like the Marlins and Nats selling.03 Aug 2026 22:09 +0000at://did:plc:ap54jwpokf6fbamdnkzwnc5d/app.bsky.feed.post/3ms7j7wabk226https://bsky.app/profile/gavwill13.bsky.social/post/3ms2ml34n3226Lost in the last two games is the fact that this Reds team is absolutely wretched.

He's clearly not been as effective in preventing runs, but his K/9 is up and his BB/9 is down from last season, as is his WHIP. His hard hit % is down too. Other than allowing more HRs, it is tough to pinpoint any big issues.15 Jun 2026 13:38 +0000at://did:plc:ap54jwpokf6fbamdnkzwnc5d/app.bsky.feed.post/3modfrtuiv22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/gavwill13.bsky.social/post/3mo54g3tbzc2kMan they simply can't handle Pulisic 1 v 1 at all so far.13 Jun 2026 01:34 +0000at://did:plc:ap54jwpokf6fbamdnkzwnc5d/app.bsky.feed.post/3mo54g3tbzc2khttps://bsky.app/profile/gavwill13.bsky.social/post/3mnnehmjses2oOh my dear word Jedi what a strike!06 Jun 2026 19:15 +0000at://did:plc:ap54jwpokf6fbamdnkzwnc5d/app.bsky.feed.post/3mnnehmjses2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/gavwill13.bsky.social/post/3mms24ahmv226Rooney just pooped on the potty for the first time and if this sticks it will go down as one of the greatest days of my adult life.26 May 2026 22:28 +0000at://did:plc:ap54jwpokf6fbamdnkzwnc5d/app.bsky.feed.post/3mms24ahmv226https://bsky.app/profile/gavwill13.bsky.social/post/3mmp4ls2z6k22The MLB season is so long that you are bound to have streaks in both directions, but it's critical for teams like the Pirates to take care of teams that are clearly scuffling like the Cubs are right now.

He’s already prime Gooden and Pedro level good but the consistency and durability suggest the possibility of historical greatness.
