The Minnesota Twins this afternoon promoted Kyler Fedko from their AAA affiliate. He is a Pittsburgher and the son of John Fedko, the former well-known sports anchor at WPXI. He had a .950 OPS in 206 at bats. #Pirates
Rough series, fortunate to win one game. Flat out not a good team right now. Offense is a shell without KG and Cruz. Bullpen is a tire fire, and SP is not elite.
Right now this a .500 team. The bullpen is ensuring that. Until that is rectified this is what they are. A top 10 offense and a rotation full of potential can't come overcome that.

Know we won last night but the vibes stink right now.
Skenes hasn’t been elite, whole starting staff has been unreliable, bullpen is dogshit, and the offense is understandably swooning w the absences of Cruz and Griffin.
We need a spark before things continue to take a turn
They’re not horrible. Probably mediocre. It’s just a shame that every time you think they’re about to go on a run, someone gets hurt or someone blows a game, etc. Barely any momentum gained.
I am slowly losing interest in this team and it's not because they're horrible.
It's a constant yo-yo with them. It's not your typical ups and downs. They create new ways to lose ballgames.
They have downright had some horrible/deflating losses for it only being June.
Skenes’ velocity isn’t the big issue — I mean, I don’t recall a lot of 100 mph pitches last year — it’s the inefficiency and not going deep into starts. That needs to change ASAP.
Can’t say I’m *worried* about Skenes but he needs to be great for the Pirates to legitimately contend and he isn’t close to that. Lots of talent in this rotation, but few sure things right now.
