Re: What to expect from Jose Tabata

From Forbes to Federal — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:13:50 -0000

The .260/.340/.370 seems accurate. Considering the OBP's of Tabata, Presley, etc. last season, .340 wouldn't be too shabby. Wish he could hit for a little more average, but we'll be happy as long as he finds his way on base.

As always the truth probably lies somewhere in between. I have him pegged for a slash line of .260/.340/.370 so right in line with the projection systems. That isn't a starting caliber RF but that OBP sure does look nice considering how starved the Pirates are for it.

Re: Are Pirates Fans Loyal?

From Forbes to Federal — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 15:57:50 -0000

Yeah, the study definitely seems flawed; as Matthew Miller @flyguy4_0 pointed out to us on Twitter, it seems to favor the popular teams. Miami gained so much popularity last offseason due to new branding and big moves, but that doesn't mean they have loyal fans. Now that the Marlins are struggling to draw crowds (going as far as buy one, get one tickets on Opening Day) again, it'll be interesting to see how that "loyalty" ranks.

Agree with this assessment 100%. The diehards, who've stuck with the franchise through thick and thin, are some of the best fans in sports.

Re: Are Pirates Fans Loyal?

burgh_fan — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 11:49:25 -0000

Very interesting question. As a whole I agree that Pirates fans are not a loyal bunch. However the core of the Pirates fan base is more loyal than any in professional sports in my opinion. SO I guess it depends on which group you are talking about.

Re: Pirates clinch ST losing record with loss

Yeah, McPherson still has a good shot. He'll get his chance. We should be finding out fairly soon.

Re: Pirates clinch ST losing record with loss

Josh — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 00:04:17 -0000

I still think McPherson makes the Pirates rotation because he is efficient and has good stuff. Take him out of Florida and he will pitch well, because he will have the opening day guys behind him playing defense and his quick pace will keep everyone in the game.

Re: POLL: How many games will the Pirates win in 2013?

Josh — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 00:02:36 -0000

86 to 90 is the number for the Pirates this year.

Jonathan Dodd — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 19:15:48 -0000

Wow, this pissed me off last year (or a similar study, at least) and it does again. I'd like to see what fans of any team look like after 20 losing seasons, and then we can see who's loyal. Like you said, the Pirates have fallen a long way in this city and have a ways to go to be considered a top baseball town, but when the Miami Marlins were ranked highly a year ago based on Ozzie Guillen and their new stadium, I knew the study was flawed.
