Pirates will take on the Yankees. If you want to get the Yankees at a good time,
get them when they just played a doubleheader against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Like,
this is a good time if Pittsburgh is going to get them to try and get them.
And especially with Cam Schlittler pitching on Sunday, he's not pitching this series. So
here's what we're going to throw out there. I think the funniest one here of all is Wednesday
starter, Carmen Modzinski, who was complaining about not being in the rotation. And then,
you know, maybe it was going to go on the restricted list. And here he is back in the
again on Wednesday. I'm not saying that the Pirates are going to win this series at all,
Tom. I'm just saying that you're going to see a lot of minus 180s and minus 200s for the Yankees.
And I'll probably go the other side here. It's very hard coming off a day-night doubleheader
like the Yankees are doing in L.A. against L.A. Right. Yeah. At home, the game got postponed on
Saturday. So you said two on Sunday and Sunday night baseball and then rolling into a series
versus a desperate team. That's what it comes down to. The Pirates are desperate. They need
to start picking up wins and fighting against the Yankees and showing that they can do something,
hopefully instills that in the team they can do. And then we'll hopefully force the GM to make
moves because they're not out of it in the wildcard race. But taking two out of three on
the road versus the Yankees would would be a big sign for them. Yeah, I mean, pirates are literally
right there in that third spot for the wildcard. So anything they do will will potentially help
them.
