I don't think there's any evidence that Derek Shelton was a good manager, but he also very clearly wasn't the main problem with this team, either.

It’s Buc’n Prinny (SELL THE TEAM, BOB) @ItsBucnPrinny

@ASaunders_PGH It’s almost like the organization doesn’t know what they’re doing.

The best season-long pythagorean winning percentage, compared to actual winning percentage in MLB history is +.095, by the 1905 Detroit Tigers. Pythag +/- is mostly managerial skill and luck. If the Pirates had a +.095 pythag, they'd be 17-23 and would still be in last place.

Being outraged at the Pirates lineup everyday seems kind of pointless. They have a roster with like 8 AAA hitters. Some combination of them are going to play every game.
