Dear ‘Cutch’:
You tell us. Should we still be fans? Should we keep spending our money on the Pittsburgh Pirates?
You’ve been back two years now. Is the effort real? Genuine? Does it make sense to you? Do you believe the Front Office is the best it could be? Did you agree with the decision to move Oneill Cruz to center field? How did you and your teammates feel about how they treated Rowdy Tellez?
Did your teammates play to win? Every night? Did the young players take your advice? Was there camaraderie? Respect for manager Derek Shelton? Was it a good time despite the 76-86 record?
Does your gut tell you ownership wants to win?
You tell us. Please.
Now, we’ll understand if you want to stay silent because you’re hoping for one more $5 million, one-year deal. We get that, we really do, but we trust your character, too. So, if you can give us a sign somehow to offer an answer to just one more question …
Would YOU be a fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates if you were in our position?
Thanks, Andrew, for becoming a Pittsburgh baseball legend for all the right reasons.
Sincerely,
Go Bucs?
Steve,
One of your best commentaries.’
Wouldn’t you like to just sit down with him
at Steak on a Stone and ask him these
questions?
Dave
Thank you, Dave … and yes, I would!
