Good pick.

Jets just dashed one hope for the Steelers. It was a long shot anyway.

It looks like one of the top tackles might make it within trading range for the Steelers, but doubt they move up for an OT two years in a row.

He doesn't strike me as one who will complain much. Harbaugh loves the running game, but he is too smart of a coach to not let a QB like Herbert air it out some. Even if his attempts and yards are down, he'll probably have a lot of TDs and a ridiculous YPA in the play action game. If Alt comes...

I have not been following a lot of the prospects this year, but I do like the idea of selecting another OT in the first round to pair with Jones for the rest of the decade. It could create a significant foundation for the offense, and it's been awhile since the Steelers have been really strong...

It's hard to argue against that, given how their two highest paid position players are slugging under .400 and Davis and Cruz have not developed as expected. If they do make a move, I suspect it won't be until late in the season If Nutting is paying someone, rest assured that he is going to...

It's almost like they're being coached to be patient to a fault. Walks are up compared to last year, but it might be coming at the expense of some hits. There needs to be a better balance between patience and aggressiveness, IMO. Hayes and Reynolds are getting on base a lot, but the Pirates...

Yeah, the wheels are completely falling off, as Jared Jones has been the only real bright spot. So many disappointing performance among the position players. Hayes is getting on base, but has yet to show any power over 20 games into the season. Cruz is on pace for about 300 strikeouts and his...

They had a couple years when they could score runs with those playoff teams they had about a decade ago. McCutchen was an MVP-level player and they had a decent supporting cast around him with the likes of Starling Marte, Neil Walker, Russell Martin, and Jung Ho Kong. Pedro Alvarez had his...

They seem to be falling back to earth a bit. The offense and bullpen have been pretty bad over the past week. Quinn Priester makes his first start of the season tonight. If he can perform to his potential, it would be a very positive development with what Jared Jones has shown and Paul Skenes...

It was good to see Bednar close out a game strongly after struggling in his first few outings. The pitching has been carrying them recently, as the offense has cooled off considerably from how it started the season, depending a lot on opponents' errors to score runs. Hayes is showing no power...

Tomlin says a lot of things. If DJ didn't want out, it seemed pretty foolish to trade him. If they were planning to bring someone like Russell Wilson in, one would think they'd want to surround him with as many weapons as possible. Seems like DJ might have been another in a long line of...

I don't think Dotson sucked when he played for the Steelers. For whatever reason, he just found himself in Tomlin's doghouse, from which there is apparently no escape.

It might not be premature to be concerned about Mitch Keller He's had two rough outings to begin 2024, following his struggles in the second half of last season and signing that new contract over the winter. The Pirates simply cannot afford to have that much money tied up in an underperforming...

The starting pitching wasn't great in the series, but the hitting and bullpen picked up the slack. It's tough to sweep a four-game series, regardless of the opponent.

I like Triolo more than most. He doesn't have the range at 2B that Gonzalez or Peguero have, but it is adequate and his bat might play better in the majors. His best position his 3B, but that obviously is not an option with the Pirates. I kind of would like to see them give him a look at 1B at...

I would not have minded letting him try to finish with a three run lead, but the Marlins were starting to get to him a bit and had the tying run at bat. Given Jones's lack of experience and his pitch count getting elevated, it probably wasn't the worst decision.

Jared Jones struck out 10 in just under six innings, giving up three runs. He definitely can be something special, but given how hard he throws without the largest stature, I worry a little bit about stamina and durability going forward. He's not built like Paul Skenes.

So far, so good, though Keller's start in the opener was disappointing. He wasn't absolutely terrible, as the defense let him down a bit, but they're going to need a lot better from him this season. It will be interesting to see Jared Jones' debut tonight. Oneill Cruz has about as much power...

I do not think it is fair to say that Kenny only had one solid game in his time with the Steelers. His stats were never spectacular, but I thought his game against the Raiders last season was good, and in the second half of his rookie season, he was showing clear progression. I believe the...
