Rays 7 – Pirates 0 (F)

  • The Chris Archer Trade Tree continues to hit hard as Shane Baz, a 2017 first-round pick (12th overall) by the Pirates (1-5), struck out a career-high 10 in six innings in a Rays (4-1) 7-0 shutout win on Tuesday night. Throwing 96 pitches, Baz allowed seven hits and walked none. It was a dominant outing for the 25 year old.

  • Fire Derek Shelton? The Crowd is out in full swing with a 1-5 start. Would Bob Nutting in his right mind pay a manager to go away and would it matter other than the new voice factor?
  • Among the burning questions with the Pirates 1-5 start. Will the team ever see .500 at any point this season? Don’t try to compare them to the Penguins, this was supposed to be a trending upwards season for the 2025 Pirates
  • David Bednar to the minors prior to game time has the Pirates fifth-highest player on the roster getting paid in Triple-A to try to get right. For the budget conscious group up top led by Travis Williams, it’s not expected to be a lengthy demotion for now.
