Jared Jones: “It was predetermined that I was going five innings today, no matter what happened. Do you want to see me down the road, or do you want to see me get shut down? That’s what I think of it.”
@_NoahHiles So, the Pirates are going with young pitchers and limiting their innings while employing a hitting mentality that calls for looking at good pitches to try and raise the opposing teams pitch count—-good luck with that!
@_NoahHiles If they want to limit his innings, go with a 6 man rotation or skip a start. I don’t want to hear excuses. Limiting innings is gonna gas the bullpen that is blowing shit into a jet engine.
@_NoahHiles there wont be a down the road this year if this ends up being another 70 win season.
@_NoahHiles Same thing will happen to Skenes mark my words. They'll have 2 starters who can only go 5 innings when pitching a 1 hit 7k masterpiece just for the bullpen to come in and blow it. Wow.. i guess 2024 wasn't the year Cherington promised.
@_NoahHiles “We need to save your arm for when we trade you in 6 years and you’re in your prime for another team”…that’s the underlying message of what management told him
@_NoahHiles As has been the case in previous years, the Pirates treat the whole season like spring training.

@_NoahHiles @ChrisMuellerPGH It always down the road. I’m sick and tired of down the road.
