DK’s Daily Shot of Pirates: Heartless

22 comments

1. 100 million? Ha!

2. When you think about all the arbitration wins + cutting rowdy prior to his bonus, it’s pretty sad Bob still cut payroll. And the stock market is booming. Bob is doing great in his personal investments. Sad

3. Heartless. Pitiful. Shameless. Unapologetic. Greedy. Deceitful. Feel free to add more adjectives to describe the PBC.

4. I've been a pirates fan for 30 years and I can't ever remember being this down on the management and ownership and that is saying a lot

5. Its been very rare that fans have been so united in disgust. Theyre even losing a lot of the sycophants. The worst part of this is that the team isnt terrible! Theyre decent! But that doesnt do any good for anyone. Thats No Mans Land.

6. Huntington clearly had issues but i never ever ever questioned whether or not he cared

7. The season can be summed up in one word…..NOBODY…..Nobody in the city owned parking garage. Nobody standing in front of the ticket booth. Nobody in the seats. Nobody at the concession stand…..Garbage in….Garbage out.

8. If I'm Skenes I'll make 12 starts this season, and no more than that until my last season in Pittsburgh. Not killing my arm for them

9. As one of the "haters," I'm sick of the Pirates organization and the Pirates fans.

   This is what you all wanted, and I'm happy for both of you.

10. My prediction. This Tommy Pham signing will turn into the new Derek Bell/Raul Mondesi situation. Mark it down, and when it does, hopefully that will be the catalyst for the skinflint Nutting to jettison the Williams, Cherrington, Shelton era. $4m for this journeyman? Then again, Cheap Ass Bob signed off on it…and we all know, he’s not going anywhere….🤯😳🙄🤬

11. 💯 correct. Cherington is a sociopath.

12. It would be heartless to give up on Suwinski, Davis, and Rodriguez.

13. Thanks for Amswering about Endy. I think his bat will be what we were hoping for this year. He could play roght field

14. I don't listen to what they say, I watch what they do ! Then I get bored. We will soon see. Thank you DK

15. Endy's drop in hitting quite possibly, DK, could have been due to the beginnong of that elbow injury, that, got him shut down in INDY, earlier in the year, before his call up. There was probably damage, and until further detected, hampered his ability to hit as he has always done. Having Endy catch, and spell Horwitz at 1B, would be ideal. He can play multiple positions. Endy will be fine, now that his elbow was repaired. He played decent in a late sesson cameo, on rehab at AAA.

16. We now officially have THE worst owner, THE worst GM & THE worst manager in all of baseball

17. Let me see, Endy hit at every level until he reached the majors. At first he had great success, then it fell off. Why am I thinking it was Shelton and his coaches overseen by Cherington that caused his slide and not Endy himself? Maybe I'm wrong, but…
    I know he was injured. I totally get it. Let's hope he can get back to himself once again and prove me wrong. I would LOVE that to be the fact!!!! I have become so calloused over this management team, I find it hard not tot blame them for EVERYTHING! Which isn't the right thing to do, but the facts stand on their own.

18. I remember seeing Edny playing a nice FIRST baseman in Bradenton in2020 as a Marauder.nice movement good hands ,glove there and hit a ton here Bradenton.he can play anywhere probably

19. Been a fan since the late 80s turnaround and have never been more down on management – even through the streak between '92 and 2013. I'll never forget the VHS cassette that I had for years with Jim Gott on the front that was titled 'proud again!.' I dont see that happening any time soon.

20. FSP-TV showed highlights of PirateFest 2025 last night, what a half hour of propaganda edited to look positive that was. It was really watered down. Bob Nutting, what a lovable scamp he is. /s🙄

21. I'd bet the farm that the source within the Pirates FO that keeps telling DK they approved up to 100m in spending this season is gaslighting him.

    The way that you justifiably criticize this FO and ownership group plus the fan protests, sell the team billboards, and the fan survey blunder I'm sure the vibes within the Pirates are more than a little off right now and they just want some heat off them.

    My point is that I think DK is fully in a "tell them what they want to hear" relationship with the FO at the moment. The FO is delusional enough to think if they say it to DK he will in turn tell the fanbase what they want to hear (100m payroll, we're committed to winning, build around Skenes, ect) and that in and of itself will please us without ever actually facing the mandate of really doing those things.

    Good on you for saying what they tell you but not falling for the bs. It's why I listen.

22. I used to be a huge basrball fan, but the Pirates cured me! Now the Penguins and Steelers are trying to cure me completely!
