If 6 innings is the goal

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

Imo he needs to change how he pitches to “real” hitters. Dudes like Chapman and Lamont Wade are good enough to fight off some pitches that lesser guys can’t handle. And those real hitters don’t swing at his balls out of the zone.

2023 cy young winners

Blake Snell 5.63 innings/start
Gerrit Cole 6.33

obviously neither of these guys are being handled with baby gloves at this point in their careers

Blake snell winning was bs last year. Strider was the better pitcher

Per Joe block, the last time the pirates hit grand slams im consecutive games, it was in 2000. Pat mears and John vanderwal

Just take solace in the fact that your freezing cold take isn’t even the worst take on that page. LL invested a good bit of energy trying to say nice things about rowdy

Giants are a great hitting team. Shows you how good Jones and Skenes are. As soon as they get the bullpen, the game is pretty much theirs.

To be fair none of these guys have even pitched this year really. but chapman sucks hard

Yeah. If Chapman is the 8th inning guy, your 7th is any combo of Mlodzinski, holderman, money moreta, borucki or Hernandez. It's a strength

No more Wil Crowe

[genoscoif]

did they get rid of the 'due up' in the end of inning graphic? and why not show runs, hits, errors at the end of each inning?

Probably so people stay tuned in. Those guys are up, see you in 15 minutes.

Amazing that they created this bullpen issue for themselves by keeping rowdy. Who did what he was expected to do this series.

It is really impressive how hard it is for them to just plug a passable fat guy in at first base.

[Beveridge]

Jones and Skenes got the full Pirates experience last 24 hours.

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

Rowdy: -0.5 WAR

Chapman WAR: -0.5
Fatso bednar WAR: -0.9

[Rylan]

This bullpen is atrocious. Miss MATW and Mark the Shark.

[count2infinity]

Where have you gone, Jason Grilli?

[count2infinity]

Cool stat, broette.

[King Colby]

Bullpen losses are so frustrating. This is dumb.
