I’m 41 and this is the least amount of hope or optimism going into a season that I can recall in my entire lifetime. The Butch Hobson years of the early 90s were rough but even there you still had Clemens and a hopeful young core (Vaughn, Valentin, etc). 1997 had bad vibes but rookie Nomar provided some hope. 2020 was a disaster, but before they shut down spring training for Covid I still feel like there was more optimism than this year. Can you think of any other year like this? I suppose this is what it’s like to be a Pirates fan
Can they start trading for prospects now? They aren’t going to sign Montgomery.

This sure feels like it’s, as constructed and in light of the Giolito news, going to be a struggle to reach 75 wins.
