Friday is Opening Day in so many places in the Pirates’ organization.
The big one is the home opener in Pittsburgh, which starts at 4:12 PM EST. That should be an event, with the Pirates bringing home the positive energy of a 6-1 start.
Altoona, Greensboro, and Bradenton open their seasons, with all but Altoona at home.
What really stands out is the lineup of pitching throughout the system. Paul Skenes, Jared Jones, and Bubba Chandler will all be starting, giving the Pirates three top 100 prospects on the mound on the same day.
