Fan Forum has always been about giving fans a voice, and frankly a better choice, when it comes to how this town talks baseball. And guess what?

Sources: Neal Huntington will be asked to throw out the first pitch for Game 5 of the Houston/Tampa Bay series. He'll also be pitching to contact.

Matt Canada reported to the team’s South Side facility early Tuesday, expecting to prepare for Sunday’s game in Cincinnati, when he was told of the decision to fire him.

Derek Shelton just referred to Joshua Palacios as one of a couple younger players that they wanted to get up here. Palacios will be 30 next season. Rowdy Tellez is five months older than Palacios. Lol.
#Pirates
One thing about yesterday? Joe Burrow was so damn good. And now the Bengals seem interested in actually protecting him. Dude is going to be a problem in this division for a long time.
Entering his 18th season, Ben Roethlisberger has 20 losses against the AFC North -- for his career. Love him or hate him, that doesn't get mentioned nearly enough from
#Steelers
fans. 💯
Breaking:
#Pirates
sign pitcher Eddie Harris to 1-yr deal. Soft- tossing veteran with a solid curve, but whispers of foreign substance usage have dogged him for years. Immediately slots in as the
#2
starter in the Bucs rotation.
With the Nats tying the Reds for the most losses in baseball, who do you think ends up having the WORST record in the League when it's all said and done? 🤔
Flying back to Pittsburgh today, and the airline overbooked the flight by 3 people. They offered $300 per ticket to bump the flight back until later tonight. Told them we'd do it for $400, lol. Guess who's killing time right now in the Minneapolis St. Paul airport for $1,200? 🤷♂️
Guentzel trade, Kenny trade, stolen bobbleheads, Pitt on the bubble, Chapman video, Pens falling apart, Russell Wilson, etc......

sports is ON one right now. 👀👀👀
My sources are telling me the

will be in attendance for the NFL Draft this week. They are prepared to select players that are available to them but will pass on any that are not. Story developing.

for a long time and this is the first time I think I’ve ever seen the river come over the wall above the dock on the North Shore. The rivers rose another two feet this afternoon, putting it currently at 26.5’. Really incredible to see.
Narduzzi committed the ultimate sin as a HC tonight: he failed to give the rest of the team any opportunity to try to win a football game because he didn't want to make a QB change. They deserved better than that.

I don't know Poni. Maybe he's a good guy. But there's something entirely disingenuous about a person who's saying things he doesn't believe just for effect. It cheapens him, it cheapens the profession for others, and it cheapens sports talk for fans in Pittsburgh. That's a shame.
Bought a pack of cards. Opened the box and this beauty was staring back at me. Let's just say I won't be worrying about money for a long time. A long time.
I simply will never understand the appeal of a Colin Dunlap. This has nothing to do with anything other than he's just so transparently unlikable. That's all.
PFF tomorrow:
"We downgraded Watt for the INT. When he peeled off his man and intercepted a ball intended for another WR, that's designated as blowing the assignment and getting beat. Therefore it's a negative factor. The outcome of the play has no bearing on this grade."
Don't know if any of you saw the clip of Rowdy Tellez sitting and talking with Cruz on the bench after the game. This game is so hard, and it beats you down at times. Props to Tellez for whatever he said to pick a guy up. Still matters, even at this level.
#Pirates
Hearing from more than a few people that PNC Park has been subpar when it comes to having concessions staffed and food available. I have also seen this.
@Pirates
this is unacceptable. It should be priority

given the current state of things. You OWE this to the fans.
Fix it.

just slogs on. We get it. You're desperate to stay relevant. It would be sad, except it's you and you're awful. And for that it's objectively hilarious.🏆💯👍
Mitch Keller's season to date. Hammer a guy when he's not performing well, but make sure you acknowledge the good stretches too. And he's been excellent of late.
#Pirates
As I've mentioned, my brother in law has been in and out of the hospital with Covid. He's now gone into cardiac arrest 3 times and is in ICU. My sister has Covid and cannot see him. They have three girls. This is THE nightmare scenario we've all heard about. And it's all so sad.
I'm out to eat in Illinois with family, and there's a dude sitting in here with a Willie Stargell jersey and a Pirates hat on. And it's taking all my yinzer strength not to interrupt his dinner.

is strong in me. 👀🤷♂️
I want you to look at this 👇👇👇. I'm not some hitting coach. Or hitting guru. But I know a thing or two. This is an outside pitch. Look at Henry's head. This is horrific for a little leaguer, let alone a first-round pick. No chance like this. With any pitch. 😳😳💯💯

Breaking:
#Pirates
sign Jake Taylor to 1-yr deal. Veteran catcher will provide leadership and play similar role he had in previous stint with the Indians. Knees are an issue though, but he's a competitor. Solid signing for Pittsburgh.
#LetsGoBucs
If Andrew McCutchen is your favorite baseball player for your favorite baseball team, then I'm happy for you. In its purest form, that's kind of what baseball is about. 💯❤⚾️
Really thought the booing of Josh Bell tonight was......odd.
#Pirates
fans have plenty to be angry about in general, but directing it there seems pointless. And a little classless, if I'm being honest.
I really underestimated Connor Joe when the
#Pirates
brought him back to the organization. Is he some exceptional talent? No. But he's a professional ballplayer that adds value to a roster.
Henry Davis not in the lineup tonight for the
#Pirates
. Don't understand that at all, and in fact it's dumb if there's not something wrong with him. I'm not even sure what their "process" is anymore, and playing Grandal in yet another lost season shouldn't be it. Play HD. A ton.
Greg Brown talking about how Josh Vanmeter might be on the move as they flash his .564 OPS and .188 batting average across the TV is pure comedy.
#Pirates
Oneil Cruz out there just laughing in CF after making his first catch. Clearly doesn't take this seriously. I'm so done with this guy and his attitude. DFA this guy TODAY.
#Pirates
Lost my brother in law of 25 years yesterday. He leaves behind a wife and three girls. My sister is beyond devastated.
We all get caught up in so many trivial things, and so little of it truly matters. It just doesn't.
Wanna know why I love
#Pittsburgh
? We closed on our new home today. Barely there 15 minutes and there's a knock on the door. Neighbor from across the street introduces himself and gives us a bottle of homemade wine as a gift. That's it. He just wanted to be neighborly.
Imagine this is your life. It's Saturday night, you're practically homebound, and you're so lonely you feel it in your gravy-saturated bones. And this is what you're reduced to.
Yikes. 😬
Paul Skenes is going to be in the All-Star game. It's a spectacle every time he's on the mound, and I just don't see how MLB passes up the opportunity to showcase him.
#Pirates
I'm just going to be more sentimental than practical here for one minute. I don't care for the Chavis move. That's a guy that has done everything asked of him. To demote him with 9 games left in a meaningless season doesn't sit well with me.
#Pirates
I just saw Jared Jones at the Pittsburgh International Airport. I looked at him. He looked at me. That was about it.

This little guy near us was having a real rough time early. It's super busy today, but this usher took a few minutes to cheer him up. Never change,

: Cutch, would you like to finish the twilight of your career as a mentor and bench piece where it all started? And by that, we mean we need you to bat third, play defense, and produce like it's 2014.
Dunlap is so basic. The topics, the tweets, the cliche'd approach to everything. Guys like that just add zero to the local sports scene. It's harsh, but it's the truth.
Reading this article about players underperforming and two things stood out to me. First, Carroll is really, really struggling. Second, Adam Frazier catches a gargantuan stray in this paragraph, lol. 😂👀
