When the first draft of the Pirates 2016 came out Thursday was an off day. It was the perfect off day between home games when it coincided with the Penguins potential clincher but thanks to some shitty weather on last months trip to Colorado, the Pirates have to fly out of one game on Thursday.

The good news is Clint Hurdle set a solid dress code for this short trip.

Jeff Locke is penciled in for Thursday’s start, that means they can leave Gerrit behind and cut him loose on Consol Energy Center again right?

Similarly, the Penguins might choose to push David Freese out of the plane over middle America if he show’s up in a Blues jersey.
