The stadium is great but everything else about the team is smalltime.

Not sure if talking about pirates or phillies.

CBP is good, not great.

The Phillies are definitely a big league team, just one that's among the worst at developing good players. They do a lot of the non-baseball stuff really well: the uniforms, the mascot, the radio broadcast.

The Pirates are still in the mindset of thinking that a successful season means they now have guys to sell to richer teams. The owner owns Appalachia ski resorts and small town newspapers, he's not exactly Jeff Bezos. Used to be a baseball town before the 70s, now the Buccos are a distant #3 team. Some of the fans were thinking rebirth when they finally made the playoffs after 20 years, but their eyes have since been opened to what their team and their owner are. And a lot of them have stopped going to games now, making the PNC experience that much better for the visiting fan.

carlos tocci with a walk off base hit to stoke the pigs to a 1-0 series lead

Hoskins tied with Ted Williams for most HRs by a call up after August 1st

What a wild game

JP at short
Freddy sits for the first time
Nick homers
Hoskins homers
ODub plays his worst game as a pro - and that's saying something
Maikel homers to make it 11-10
Alfaro strikes out and pulls a Bo and snaps his bat like a twig

Too bad they couldn't complete the comeback.
