Given how that started, That is a very encouraging win for the #Pirates as they begin a very important 3 weeks of facing some of the better teams in #mlbnsfw

Valdez has been impactful and to think this time last year, he was only in Single A

Quick rise

11-7 over Phillies

Bob Pompeani 🤖7h ago

This offense continues to put up big numbers

#Pirates never seem to be out of any game despite the deficit and they are doing this WITHOUT two of their better hitters, Horwitz and Cruz

Esmerlyn Valdez is so poised for being a rookie...very good plate awareness

AND become he worked a 2-out walk, Rodriguez crushed an insurance 3-run HR

Dear Friends #posting into the wind,

As you may know:

- The wind hears, #centralised #social media relegates those without money (or similar) to bottom #rungs
- #Integrity is for life, not just for Ramadan, #Xmas, show time
- Do not underestimate #cats. Their plan is #radical

In other words. Everything is not #finery, fines but fine from a unique #capacity to #change #nderstanding (or algorithm if a hacker). Who has all the junk they need? #Think #changing junk will placate the #wild?

Heave ho me 'arties. A #Pirates life four me.
