Congratulations to the Dodgers. Ohtani finishing the 50/50 season with a World Series win is an appropriate end to a historic year.

Every single strikeout from Paul Skenes' rookie season
All 170 of them.
NL Rookie of the Year. Now.
And so it ends. Same record as last season but way more frustrating. Rotation promising but the bats were quiet and bullpen collapsed. This team needs to compete in 2025 and I'm not sure there is the requisite appetite for the change required to get there amongst senior staff.

So mid-September. And the last 5/6 weeks have been just meh. The second half of 2024 is a huge missed opportunity.

Happy 88th birthday to @Pirates great Bill Mazeroski! Here’s my painting of him breaking my father’s 15-year-old heart to end the 1960 World Series, based on the stellar camerawork of Marvin E. Newman (in my mind, one of the best baseball photographs ever taken).

I counted clubhouse stalls after the game today in Cleveland. That's what I did that set off this column, believe it or not.
Enough's enough ...

Not saying that this August has been an unmitigated disaster for the Pirates just yet, as we still have 2 more days to plough to even greater depths of despair and misery.

That was a flat out embarrassment. Jim Leyland in the crowd, if he was the skipper there would have been a murder by now...

Perspective: The Pirates are 5th in the NL Central while having the 8th worst record in baseball after being (by all technical use of the word) buyers opposed to sellers at the deadline.
