The Pittsburgh Pirates stink.
There’s no other way around it, no otherway to describe them after they’ve started the year 4-17. In a year where basically everyone halfway decent will make the playoffs, we already pretty much know the Pirates won’t, and they’re currently the odds-on favorite to at least turn this giant asterisk of a season into a #1 overall pick.
They could use the help, because the Major League roster is largely lacking in talent. We got a glimpse of that already this year when the Brewers took 2 out of 3 in their last trip to Pittsburgh, and things haven’t gotten much better, as they’ve only won twice since the Brewers left town.
