This is my first post on Post Bucs, and Welcome!
This blog is primarily focused on analysis of the Pittsburgh Pirates, rather than on reaction, recap, or predictions. Most of our articles will follow a sequence and evolve our analysis in an agile fashion. I am an avid consumer of Pirate content. I listen to DK's Daily Shots, NS9, the Bridge to Buctober, Locked on Pirates, Pirates Fan Forum, and likely more I can't remember right now. I also read Pirates Prospects, Pittsburgh Baseball Now, Rum Bunter, Bucs Dugout, DK, Bucs On Deck, and again likely a lot more I am not remembering right now. I think the analysis based content on the major league club will provide content not covered by these outlets, but I look up to all of these resources and everyone making them work. I only hope I am able to join the club and publish unique content.
Some features you will eventually see on the site include:
- There will be Google Ads on the site, but we are in no rush to get that started
- The site will get a facelift for styling and a logo. This is a bit more urgent
- Each article will have a comment section
- There will be another page on the site linking to an online store.
- There will be writers other than myself (Admin Harrison Boyd).
- We'll feature awesome food reviews of restaurants in the Pittsburgh area.
- There are currently no plans for paid subscriptions.
- We expect to publish on average at least an article a week.
- This site will likely not have a social media presence.
- We likely won't have breaking news on this site, but rather an analysis afterwards.
As a Pirate fan, what is my ultimate goal? I just want to see a winner. I want to watch with my friends and family the Bucos play a competitive pennant. I do not think this is unrealistic for the Pirates. That will be a topic for later articles. For now the important thing to understand is that I am a believer, and I despise having my faith pissed on by Bob Nutting and Co.
Some articles may get technical, but everything will be explained clearly, and hopefully, we'll all learn something worthwhile. During the last couple of years at my full-time job I have created goals which involve me learning data science and machine learning. Hopefully I will show the results of my training with these articles, and learn even more.
Thanks for reading the very first article of Post Bucs. I do hope you feel interested and welcome! Stay tuned for more!
