Oneil Cruz has just hit a 488-foot nuke in the Home Run Derby. Paul Skenes is starting the All-Star Game for the second year in a row. The Pirates are allowing the fewest runs per game in the National League.

The team is 39-58 and every fan of the franchise is ready to stop watching baseball

Ben Cherington is in year six of what will have to go down as one of the handful of worst executive tenures in baseball history. He'll go 6/6 on last-place finishes and be responsible for torching the first two years of Paul Skenes' career. He should not find another exec job in sports after this
Here's one for you: Only one Pirates position player is on pace for 2.0+ bWAR, and it's Isiah Kiner-Falefa (currently 1.1 bWAR), who is probably going to get traded in July.

The last time the Pirates didn't have any 3-win position players? 1956, when Bill Virdon led the charge with 2.7 bWAR.

Will the collusion story die on the vine? Or will the small army of reporters who cover the NFL try to advance it?

What happens next with the collusion story?
The collusion ruling could, depending on what the players choose to do, have ramifications for the NFL and/or the NFL Players Association.

Victims of severe flash flooding in and around my hometown of Wheeling, WV need our help. Here's a way to give a little to the local United Way for flood relief, if you can.

The state of Texas has just requested an imminent execution date for Charles Flores — the Cowboys fan @pablotorrefindsout.bsky.social visited on death row.

We believe that Charles was wrongfully convicted due to junk science, involving a hypnotized witness.

Is there a pair of franchises in any league that can match the sheer incompetence of the Rockies and Pirates?

Pretty sure he took a swing at me for wearing a Pirates cap in the rightfield bleachers back in '96
IMO: This Pope-Cubs thing seems incredibly thinly sourced. Someone needs to run it down. I need childhood friends confirming. I need pics at Wrigley.

I opened Friday's PFT Live by addressing something not about football. The feedback was surprisingly positive. I wrote something about that issue tonight. If you're interested, here it is. If you're not, don't read it. Either way, have a good evening.
