The Pirates Putting Out A Hype Video For Rich Hill Is The Biggest Pirates Move Of All Time

This is such a Pirates move I can't stand it, it's perfect. I hope the yinzers are PUMPED for Dick Mountain AKA Rich Hill AKA Ricky Curves AKA Old Man Dick! If you're a Pirates fan, you are sprinting to the phone right now to buy season tickets so you can experience the magic in the burgh live starting on Opening Day. 

The hype video for a 42-year-old pitcher just doesn't hit the same as it does for a stud shortstop. But I appreciate the effort by the social staff for the Pirates to try and make this happen. If you know anything about the Pirates, it fits perfectly. Underwhelming, hilarious, and no way this ends well. I love just the balls on them to put this out. 

"Hey Rich, we're gonna film you for the hype video, hope that's okay?"

"Ummmm....me?"

That is how I envisioned the convo going with him and the social team. 

Just look at that face, that is a guy who is pumped to be a veteran on a team that is going to lose over 100 again. I can't wait to see his face and his reaction when he sees this hype video after one of his grandkids show it to him next week. Pittsburgh baby, were a 1-year, $8 Million deal gets you a hype video. Hope yinz enjoy your big offseason pickup!

PS. WILD stat from a few weeks back.
