Both teams are terrible

Love that the Cubs are celebrating their playoff berth in Pittsburgh in front of the remaining 150 Pirates fans and another 100 Cubs fans

More people should take your stance. They have lost a lot of die hards with their shenanigans.

Can’t complain. It’s usually entertaining seeing just how few hits Henry Davis can get in a 100 at bat stretch. How overrated Cruz can be after he β€œbroke the home run derby” golden years for the Pirates as we wind down another profitable season.

Cubs fans treated to another road win, but can you imagine going to PNC last night as a Pittsburgh Pirates fan? The worst team in sports has sunk to a new low after hyping up guys like Henry Davis and Oneil Cruz as β€œSuperstars in the making” but hey, the team is EXTREMELY PROFITABLE. There is that.

MLB TV ratings are up across the board. The sport has been gaining popularity. The idea that owners are going to risk losing games in order to demand a salary cap is ludicrous. Baseball has more parity than most major sports. Don’t think that the CBA in 2027 is going to save your low revenue team.

No one has any patience anymore. Giants fans already clamoring for Dart.

Are there fans who are seriously banking on a salary cap? I sincerely hope that's not a majority view!!

Pirates fans are really gullible. Most of them are gone, so the remaining few will believe just about anything they can cling to

Good athlete stuck in a bad offense.

It happens. My advice from personal experience is just work right through it. You might wake up tomorrow feeling better

The biggest part of the Pirates sham is they hype guys like Oneil Cruz & Bubba Chandler to be the saviors of the team. Imagine how bad they would be without Skenes. Now you have fans banking on a salary cap that is not going to happen. Sad.

Thanks for the article. Here is the fight. Owners: β€œ
How about a salary cap system?”
Players: β€œNever going to happen”
Owners: β€œOk. Next issue.”

Funny MLB is talking about expansion when there is one team in every division that is practically begging to be relegated.

No league has more parity than MLB. The Brewers have the best record and it’s not great. Also, ironically, Milwaukee is the smallest market in MLB. Poor timing for commissioner. Also, we shouldn’t be rewarding teams like the Pirates for anything.

The Dodgers are coming to Pittsburgh tonight and it’s laughable that some fans still think an MLB salary cap will be on the table in 2027. There is only one person pushing this narrative that I know of. A guy named DK in Pittsburgh. He’s only doing it for the clickbait. Obviously its not happening.

Amazing how many friends I’ve lost to Fox News. Something they do hypnotizes people

Pennsylvania is weird, man. They were pushing this β€œREAL ID” A few years back. I go to renew my drivers license so I asked about it. Even brought my passport but it wasn’t enough. β€œSorry, we need 2 other forms of ID plus 2 pieces of mail. πŸ˜‚

Definitely not worth losing games over. The sport is wide open. If you make an effort anyone can win. I haven’t heard too many complaints from younger players. If you do well you will get paid eventually. Let’s hope nothing happens.

Sadly, some people in Pittsburgh will still attend baseball games in August & September. I really hope the owners don’t cancel games in 2026. Teams like the Pirates should not be rewarded for not giving a shit. MLB does not need a salary cap. There is more parady than other sports already

Pirates are saving 9 mil from the next several years by trading Ke’Bryan Hayes. Reds fans won’t love the move, but they really needed to improve their defense

Last night was Yinzerpalooza in Pittsburgh. How many of the 25,000 I attendance at the Pirates game know anything about this years team? 1/3? Maybe, but that might be generous. It was fireworks night. In typical fashion they lost 10-1 to go 20 games under on the season.
