On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey talks about why Derek Shelton remains the Pittsburgh Pirates' manager, what should happen in a few days once the MLB regular season concludes and why Bob Nutting continues to own the franchise. He also takes a look at how the Penguins' top-six will look this season and who has earned depth-forward spots moving forward. Jason also breaks down just how far Pitt football has raised its floor (and ceiling) heading into its bye week. For more sports, visit post-gazette.com.

Shelton and Cherrington even more needs to be given Pink Slip. Cherrington is a complete failure.

@DveMcGuire 3 дня назад

The patterns of struggles are repetitive throughout each franchise of the Pirates system. Terrible top-down leadership.

Who says Bob wants to win? I think he values his bank account over wins. He proved that this week.

@stevej.1428 2 дня назад

Bob wins every season. He's undefeated.

Business man not baseball man. Money is all that really interest him for sure

As the saying goes, "spend nutting win nutting".

@Chaingang99 День назад

I think they intentionally sabotage games to not win. Winning players want more money.

Nobody has any leverage over Nutting and/or the Pirates to make them better, thus nothing will really change because they are already making enough profit every year to keep the owner happy. And since Nutting/Pirates has proven to be not as capable as the Gaurdians or Devil Rays, etc..., or until baseball has a salary cap or a mega-billionaire owns the Pirates, we will be a scrap-heap franchise.

We have leverage when PNC Park's lease is up in 5 years. Thats it, but its something.

@@john670 Hadn't thought about this. What could the Sports & Exhibition Authority do?

@stevej.1428 2 дня назад

@@lawrencefalk8714 What they'll do is take another $100+ million of taxpayers money and hand it to Nutting for improvements on his poor old dilapidated ballpark because the city can't afford the pain and shame to not have a loser representing them in MLB. He won't threaten to move, but he won't need to either. He's got all his cucks...I mean ducks in a row over there at the SEA. Everyone's is in cahoots except the ones actually footing the bill, meaning the fans and taxpayers.

The way to get Nutting out is to have someone make false accusations against him like they did to Trevor Bauer

@draneym2003 2 дня назад

And guys like Mackey either just don't get it or regurgitate the same tired stories because criticizing Nutting the newspaper owner is bad for one's journalism career.

@sciulliconcrete 2 дня назад

I don't understand why people go to the games these owners are the worst nothing will ever change under nutting same crap every year and he's laughing to the bank nothing will change unless he sells the team

The Process will never play out with that T BALL MANAGER PERIOD

@stevej.1428 2 дня назад

Well it is a T-ball team so....

Jason, you do a great job. Thanks for your work.

Nutting sell this team, make your 1.3 billion and Walk away!!!

Unfortunately, complaining about Bob Nutting is as productive as yelling at the sun for causing sunburn.

@Michael-hq1iq 2 дня назад

bob "good for" nutting must sell the team ! the reds fired their manager who had a better record then shelton , he has a small ball team but NEVER plays small ball , shelton blew those recent 3 games against the cubs . which were 3 of the worst games ive ever seen the pirates play ! nutting, shelton , and cherrington must go , the pirates will NEVER win anything with those 3 running the team !

Scouting and developmental is where its at for small market teams. Thats the biggest fail in Pittsburgh

The answer to all your questions regarding the Pirates is money.

@BenDover-kb2th 2 дня назад

@@steeler3275 no its not. Kc and Milwaukee have less money than the pirates but they seem to be competitive

@racehines1438 День назад

Because he a good manager. I trade ya Shelton for Rocco Baldelli. He destroyed the whole twins season.

@timwest78 2 дня назад

I agree with you all is not lost. Do believe there is talent on this team. Horribly managed by Shelton the last five years. Does not take a inside reporter to the Pirates to see that this team needs new field leadership. The first year he managed wondered what he was doing.. Its gone downhill. From there no improvement in his management skills.
