“CALL HIM UP!”
If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard Pittsburgh Pirates fans type that phrase in response to a big game from a player, or a big week, or a month-long trend — well, I probably would have spent most of that money on drugs and therapeutic consumerism to deal with the frustrating realization that most fans don’t understand the complexities of minor league baseball.
Or, probably more accurately, most Pirates fans need some sign of hope that the time they are investing into their search for dopamine from their favorite Major League baseball team is time well-spent.
