Well that was a fun weekend, wasn’t it?
After ending 2023 with a series win over the Miami Marlins at home, the Pittsburgh Pirates kicked of 2024 with a four-game sweep of the Fish on the road. It was the first time they started a season with four straight wins since 1903 and they tallied a league-high 31 runs over that span.
Just watching (and listening) to this weekend’s action, it felt... different. In a good way, of course.
In a way, we saw a more aggressive approach from manager Derek Shelton, especially in the series finale.
