“All this stuff doesn’t happen without the failures.”
After being traded twice in less than nine months, Quinn Priester has found his groove in Milwaukee, and he could be the Brewers’ secret weapon in Game 2.

Since there’s been speculation on the matter: I’ve been told the full expectation is that Matt Hague will be continuing in his current role as Pirates hitting coach. We’ve already seen some changes on the Pirates’ coaching staff, but Hague should be back for a second season.

Good news: I was able to complete the All-Bucco grid
Bad news: I could only think of one person for the middle entry…
Music when the Brewers were working out: Snoop, Dre
Music when the Cubs were working out: The Alan Parsons Project, Boz Scaggs

A little more baseball for me before we call it a season. Chipping in to help with Brewers-Cubs

If another team shows interest in his services, he’d entertain it.

Additionally, assistant pitching coach Brent Strom is retiring. Sounds like this might not be it for changes, either.

Don Kelly never had a multi-year deal in his nine year playing career. His first turn as a manager was effectively a one year commitment.
On Monday, he was cemented as the Pirates’ skipper with a contract extension

This wasn’t the season the Pirates envisioned. Last offseason wasn’t the winter they envisioned, either. As they look towards 2026 and a pivotal offseason, they should first take another glance at the last 12 months

The Pirates finish the season 71-91.
