"When a manager is fired, it's an organizational failure." There's simply no excuse for the Pirates to be so far behind other clubs, says Ken Rosenthal.

@Ken_Rosenthal Pathetic ownership

Don't Miss Any of The Action

@Ken_Rosenthal It’s an MLB problem-for letting Pirates and Marlins spend so little. Should be a salary floor and at minimum some type of soft CAP- other leagues have it why not baseball

@Ken_Rosenthal When you are cheap and have no idea on how to organize a baseball team, they should sell the team to a group that can. I am a life long Pirates fan, and this franchise is just embarrassing....every year.

@Ken_Rosenthal Truth. Historic franchise in a great city. Fantastic ballpark. Great, knowledgeable fans. Teams w/similar resources are competing better. "Leadership" replaced a Clemente memorial w/an ad & destroyed bricks fans paid for & inscribed. Have to wonder about all their decisions.

@Ken_Rosenthal Such a sad pathetic franchise. It's a foregone conclusion already that Skenes in several years will be a Dodger, Yankee or Met.

@Ken_Rosenthal They never gave the man an offense to help his pitching staff out

@Ken_Rosenthal It’s way deeper than just the manager

@Ken_Rosenthal Where is the outrage for the #Rockies as they are 6-31 @Rockies @RockiesClubInfo @JimBowdenGM @MLBNetwork @MLB

@Ken_Rosenthal Reds ownership isn't much better.

@Ken_Rosenthal Change ownership
