If Shelton is not fired today he never will be

It would be great to see Cleveland and San Diego in the WS this year. Cleveland last WS win 1948, San Diego no WS wins (1969 expansion team). As for the Pirates, looks like it's gonna be a while.

I watch or listen to every game. Tough but. I love Baseball

29 strikeouts in the last 18 innings. Thats enough fire the manager and all the coaches. Its gone on way to long and the word salad you hear from the manager.

[timwest]

Agree with you with the right management this team could be competitive. Its not going to happen with this management its obvious. Worst field manager and general manager in basball. By far.

[roybaldwin]

Loved your column and great daily shot. I loved your daily shot in May on Travis Williams role in all of this. Your words in May, "this is screaming for someone to get involved." True then...true now.

You know when we were close to being in the wildcard I said jokingly on one of your videos, “knowing the pirates they’ll probably lose the next ten in a row now…. It took an extra game but they did it. Home again at last aka last place in the most Pittsburgh Pirates way ever!

[jerryyeager]

Thanks DK, I agree and just like that nothing. Great show DK

[maksports]

It's sad that even the White Sox fired their manager

[robertpetrilli]

I wish to start a movement of fans that are tired of this crap😢

[avantgardexxx]

For the record, I have *definitely* wondered if Mike Tomlin wants to win or not, haha

[chrisrobinson]

We/Pirates have been drafting top three overall for 30 years. You only have 9 positions on the field. How do you stink for 29 out of 30 years?

[TVResults]

Someone please send Shelton some luck. It isn't bad baseball by his definition, they just need to "catch a break". It was amazing hearing him saying that the other day. Matt Capps repeated the same sentiment yesterday after the loss. "They need better luck" Luck?! That's what it has come to now. Sounds "analytical" to me. What are they going to do next, read their horoscope to find out if it is their season to win or not? Wow wee, this is really the guy managing the team?!

[jbbatulisjr]

Why no mention of Jeff Bannister???
Should have been hired over Hurdle..

[Depressedpittsburghsportsfan]

I will always say this: Best 14 minutes and 42 seconds of sports talk in the world

[daveshipley]

I'm a diehard fan. The Pirate's team hasn't won anything since I was 9. They're consistent consistent 😢. After the All Star Game. They're done

[davewhite]

I said at the deadline that they should've been sellers and not buyers because Shelton was still the manager. I feel justified in saying that they will never win with him as manager.

[daveshipley]

At least today is a off day. 😂. Them we got the Steelers to take our minds away from it😂

[harryiglesias]

It felt so good as recent as a couple of weeks ago. I was really looking forward to see
our pitching studs lead us directly to the WS to take it all. I envisioned myself weeping listening to Bob Walk and watching the coaches and players celebrate drenched in champaign (Cutch's smile wearing one of those skiing masks). Man, how sweet it was going to be after all these decades of pain and suffering.

Those thoughts have disappeared and now I just look at the boxscore and standings in shame. I'll never really understand why but there is no other baseball team I could possibly care for.

[robertpetrilli]

I'm going to hold up a sign saying that that management doesn't care about you why should you support them 🤔
