Love to see it.
I wouldn't want to jump to any conclusions based on pounding a bad Pirates team. If we can maintain this momentum on the road and finally get our heads over .500, we might be able to say we're righting the ship. It'll honestly take me awhile to get the image of the train wreck of being abused by the Blue Jays out of my head.
Because Snit has no idea about leverage and when to use him.

I'll believe we are good again when we win the series vs. Boston. Every other time we've been on a high like this so far this year, we've promptly lost 3 or 4 in a row.

So, we have to sweep Boston for us to be good? That’s a tall task.

I'll take a split vs Boston, but i agree everytime it seems the Braves may go on a run they drop 2-3 in a row. Upcoming schedule is not fun.

Didn't realize it was only a two game series... I'd certainly be fine with a split in that case.

No need to apologize for winning, but that Pirate team is really miserable. Sad to see such a storied franchise sink to the depths it ha in recent history.
Nice to see us put something together instead of being dragged down to the level of the opposition.
After last year, I really didn't hold out much hope for Riley to be more than a lefty mashing platoon player. Now, while he's playing a little over his head, I think he's clearly made the necessary adjustments to be an everyday player. Very unlikely he's anywhere close to a .300 hitter, so I would expect a lot of regression there. But if he can be a .250ish hitter with a 10% walk rate and knock 25+ homers, he's at least a 3-4 WAR player with his defense.

Your mom is the oldest major winner ever. In fact, I call her Jill “The Thrill.”
