Alright, listen up, y’all. Let’s talk about them Yankees and them Pirates, see? Heard they been knockin’ heads lately, so I figured I’d tell ya what’s what, the way I see it. Don’t expect no fancy words from me, I ain’t no scholar, just tellin’ it like it is.
So, these Yankees, they got some fellas that can really swing the stick. And that pitching, sometimes it’s like watchin’ a hawk dive for a field mouse – fast and mean. But other times, well, let’s just say they look like they couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. That’s baseball for ya, I reckon. One day you’re a rooster, next day you’re a feather duster.
Now, them Pirates, they ain’t always the shiniest bunch, but they got grit. They fight, they scrap, they make ya earn every run. Sometimes they surprise ya, like a snake in the henhouse. You think you got ’em figured out, then bam! They steal a base, hit a double, and next thing you know, they’re winnin’ the game.
I saw somethin’ online ’bout a game where the Yankees beat the Pirates, 6 to 4. Said it was back in September, 2024. Lots of folks showed up to watch, ’bout 44,000 or somethin’. Took near three hours to finish the whole thing. Sounds like a good ol’ fashioned ball game to me.
Then I hear tell ’bout another game, just a couple days before that, same two teams. This one was in New York City, Yankee Stadium they call it. Don’t know who won that one, didn’t say in the thing I read. But it just goes to show ya, these teams been goin’ at it, see? They keep playin’ each other.
- Yankees got big names, big money, sometimes they play like it, sometimes they don’t.
- Pirates ain’t got as much, but they play hard, they got that fire in their bellies.
Heard somebody sayin’ the Pirates already beat the Yankees twice this season. Said they ain’t hittin’ the ball all that great, but still winnin’. That’s baseball, I tell ya. Sometimes it ain’t about how many hits you get, it’s about gettin’ ’em when it counts. And they’re sayin’ the Pirates are batting only .215 against the Yankees. That ain’t so good.
There’s this fella, Bryan Reynolds, plays for the Pirates. Folks are sayin’ he’s a real good one. Got some fancy way of figurin’ out who’s gonna do good, and it says he’s gonna be somethin’ special. Well, I hope he is. Good for the game, good for the fans, good for the Pirates.
Some places, they show ya all the numbers. How many times they hit the ball, how many runs they score, how many times they strike out. They call ’em stats, I think. They got these things called “head-to-head stats” that compare the teams, like who wins more games and stuff. I don’t pay too much mind to all that, I like watchin’ the game, seein’ who wins, who loses. But some folks like them numbers, so I figured I’d mention it.
They even got folks predictin’ who’s gonna win. Like they got a crystal ball or somethin’. Me, I just wait and see. Baseball’s a funny game, anything can happen. That’s what makes it so excitin’!
So there ya have it, a little somethin’ ’bout the Yankees and the Pirates. They play hard, they wanna win. Sometimes the Yankees win, sometimes the Pirates win. That’s just the way it is. Don’t matter what them fancy numbers say, it all comes down to who plays better on that day.
One last thing, someone told me the Yankees played against the Pirates on Friday, September 27th. Seems like they play a lot, these two teams. Anyway, I hope that made some sense to ya’ll. That’s all I know and all I can tell ya. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed the chickens.
