I got this jersey...
Because I was playing pond hockey with buddies a bunch, and we would all wear our favorite jerseys.
And I'm such a scrub that I actually felt bad wearing my Lemieux jersey out there.
And I was like, how about an upstart, hardworking guy like Mike Aruzzione?
Let's go with that.
Felt better about that one.
Damn right.
Speaking of a whole new level, we were just talking about Connor Griffin, who would be playing at a whole new level this year.
He just spoke to the media at Pirate City, Jeff.
And Mackey has said he gives him a 50-50 shot of being on the opening day club.
I mean, I think it helps solve a lot of problems.
Would it be rushing him, though?
He's only played 21 games in AA.
That's how we started the show today, Jeff.
I think as currently constructed, the only way the Pirates make the playoffs is if you get a reversion to form by Brian Reynolds and O'Neal Cruz to be better than what he was last year.
And Cruz is what, a .233 career hitter?
He hit .259 two years ago.
He hit .200 last year.
If he hits .259, Jeff, I mean, he's hitting 30 balls out of the ballpark, I would think.
Are you going to be rooting for Artur Shilovs today, Jeff?
