Don Kelly speaks on Gregory Soto's outing and explains why he pulled Paul Skenes after 82 pitches

He pulled him because he is a moron that doesn't know how to manage a Little League team

When we thought it couldn’t get any worse than Derek Shelton. Nice guy. Absolutely Awful Manager. Go be a freaking Walmart Greeter. #firedk

Not everyone has the skills or instincts to manage a baseball team. You're finding that out. 28 blown games this season because this manager doesn't know when to leave a pitcher in and when to take him out. If we had half of those losses as wins, we'd be in a playoff spot.

Keeps pointing to Soto’s 2nd half & his #’s vs some cubs hitters in 4 at bats. Who the F cares!?! Look at whats happening in front of you! He can’t find the plate! Then he says “In hindsight maybe we shoulda had Weaver up”. You think? If I owned the team he’d be on a plane home

They had to win this game. Skenes should have stayed in. 82 pitches 1 walk. Should have rode him.

This guy is such a fucking ham n egger #AAAManager

This guy isn’t a big league manager

I'll say it one final time, cuz I moved on from these bums weeks ago, Kelly is in over is head at the major league level. Period.

Don Kelly has done this way to many times. What is this team doing? Its like we are trying to lose on purpose.

Wtf does innings have to do with it?? He was at 82 pitches! Do you babysit the pitchers by innings or pitches count or whatever covers up a dumb decision??

What a joke of a manager Kelly is. Season is on the line and you don’t have a second reliever ready to go in an emergency. 💩

You're a Fucking L0$ER You're not qualified to mange a paper route You keep making the SAME FUCKING MISTAKES game after game. Any other manager woulda had this team 10+ gms better. You use the same lame excuses night after night

The way his eyes dart around trying to make eye contact makes him look like a weak coward. On Soto..."I don't know what the number are but he's been really good against right handers" GFY you dummy. I hate this guy. God forbid Skenes throws 100 pitches you disingenuous cunt. 😒

Kelly himself has cost the Pirates 8-10 games this year with bone head managing……….

This dude cannot have a job next year. Holy lord

They should stop these interviews altogether. They are as infuriating as his decisions and really make me want to walk away from exposing myself to this garbage.

I was done as he said he doesn’t know what his numbers are. Uh that’s your job.

Why are we saving Skenes for...2028?

Everyone knew Soto was gonna give up the lead except or Donny

I AM SO TIRED OF THIS STUPID FUCKS EXCUSES AND HIS BULLSHIT FUCKING MOVES. HE IS AWFUL AT HIS JOB OR TANKING INTENTIONALLY. EITHER WAY HIS ASS NEEDS FIRED BY SUN UP

Total Incompetence by a person not qualified to manage in the MLB! He has personally cost this team 25+ games in 2026 with his ineptitude and poor bullpen management. But this is Nutting’s model - keep 🤡 “YES MEN” (Cherrington+ Kelly) in the organization despite chronic losing

So matchup “numbers” more relevant than whst he sees right before him. Unreal

“He’s been good” … ok, but are you watching this performance? It was obvious that he had nothing today ! Crazy wild and he let him pitch to 8 batters???? “maybe I should have had weaver ready”? Do you think?? Just gave this game away. Hard to watch.

For fuck’s sake dude. You could’ve pulled him right after he got the second out. You’re so out of your depth it’s not even funny.

It's not about pulling Skenes. Why do you bring Soto in the 8th when he's not pitched in the 8th in like 2 months. I'm tired of the announcers talking about availability. So and so threw 2 games in a row my god we can't pitch him so and so back 2 back. You play to win the game!!

Clown 🤡 show

Needs fired

I'd like Skenes to lose it once. "No I'm not coming out, get your ass back in the dugout"!

Fire Kelly asap! Dude is a complete joke! And take his boss Cherington with him!

I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s beyond incompetence. He thinks he knows something that we don’t understand yet. He’s delusional.

Every interview is same thing. He’s been pitching really well lately and we have to get better . Pirates played 149 games and are one game under 500 with 13 games left. They’re not going to get better or figure things out. Ask Travis Williams about his playoff statement

He acts and talks like a high school coach. Can’t even take him serious at this point. This guy has no clue what’s going on. I don’t know if he is this clueless or just realizes at this point he won’t return next year but he needs to be fired. NOW !

If there was a WAR for managers Donny would be -14.0. Not exaggerating

Fire Kelly! He’s a white Lloyd McClendon!! Maybe it’s me.. maybe I’m the crazy one. Fire Kelly

Fuck Bob Ryan fuck Frank Deford fuck Stan Savran. Hannah Mears is the fucking GOAT of sports reporting. Her questions make me question the intricacies of the game for weeks. Her insights. Wow. She is a goddess and a gift we are so unbelievably lucky to live thru her reign
