John Osborne on Pirates navigate uncharted waters in unprecedented fashion

Baseball could be dramatically improved. I am looking forward to February 2026. Pirate fans can help by donating to the Pirate Club Excellence Fund for baseball.

Scott Dawson Pettit on Pirates face challenging nonconference slate

I would love to see them go to the original Pirate logo (full living face) instead of the skull & bones look, which looks dead to be honest.

Irish Spectre on Beyond the emotional farewells, a bright future

Lance Williams has entered the portal. The scourge of the portal has led at least a couple of high profile coaches to hang it up (Jay Wright, Villanova basketball and Nick Saban, AL football.) I don't blame 'em.

Irish Spectre on Chanticleers edge ECU, 1-0, in regional final

Coach Godwin and his men shut up a number of us, me included, by their post season performance. They showed a lot of grit and courage when it most mattered, after a mediocre season that was handicapped by pitching injuries, and have given Pirates Nation much to look forward to in 2026. Congrats and thank you to Coach and his proud Pirates.

Its been and up and down rebuilding season for sure but its great to see this young bunch gel for the AAC tournament and win a Championship. On to another NCAA regional. The young Pirates will be a tough 4 seed out for any team we play.

Charlie Wright on Shockers hold off ECU for 5-4 win

You are correct Jerry. The only thing consistent here is Cliff Godwin. He is very good fundamentals coach, game coach, not so much. We have had 11 years of not going to the CWS, when that was the focus when Godwin in. 11 years of the same thing, sometimes close, but never the bride!! I feel it's time to move on. If Godwin could not see what he had for this season, then he needs to go. After all, doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of stupidity. If you look at it from the financial standpoint, he has cost ECU lots of money.

Irish Spectre on Shockers hold off ECU for 5-4 win

Honestly, losing to lowly WSU even once already makes it an ugly series. Early on, I believed that the Pirates would develop this season into a better ballclub, but that hasn't happened. Probably it's largely due to the injuries you mentioned, but by and large they've been noncompetitive at the plate too. A couple of seasons back, they also had pitching injuries, but formidable hitting then allowed CG to cobble together enough pitching to pretty much keep them in the rankings . Even the fielding this year is not what it has historically been. Barring a quick and radical turnaround, given who remains on the schedule, the home stretch for the Pirates could get very ugly.

Jerry on Shockers hold off ECU for 5-4 win

This scenario has become too painful to watch. BP’s sudden inability to throw strikes during an outing is the norm, not the exception. And, he’s not the only one. Unless it’s Young or Hunter, you never know what you’ll get from the bullpen. Losing Norby to illness left the Pirates without any real starters, given the season-long injuries to the preseason projected starters. Even Norby got pushed into his Friday starter role as a result of those injuries. More worrisome, BP’s inexcusably late effort to cover first base indicates he was “checked out” mentally. I haven’t seen that happen to the Pirates this year, regardless of the other problems. Combine the pitching woes with periodic weakness at the plate as exhibited by the Pirates through the season thus far, and the resulting mediocre, 26-20 record is not surprising. It took the Pirates seven innings to score against Wichita, not known to have a strong pitching staff. The Pirates couldn’t produce enough offense to overcome the early deficit. This could be a very ugly series for the Pirates if the poor pitching starts continue, and the offense continues to sputter.

Jerry on Tulane takes series with 7-2 win

The only consistent part of the ECU offense is its’ inconsistency. Mismanagement of a couple of scoring opportunities didn’t help. Why you don’t try to small-ball your way to get a run in, when the team as a whole is struggling, is hard to understand. I don’t know if the Pirates will ever be consistent enough with both their hitting and pitching to make much of a run to season’s end.

Mark on Baker seeing progress as spring ball winds down

Too much generalities & not enough detail on players. Running game needs to be good ?? Yeah. Freshman QB had a good high school program? Yeah. Too much Coach talk.
