Bryan Reynolds has played with Oneil Cruz for a few seasons now. I asked Reynolds what he's seeing differently from him as Cruz is off to a torrid start to the season. He credited his adjustment to left-handed pitching: "When he puts his head to something, it really shows up. This season's been great for him." — From Chris Halicke in Pittsburgh
RAISE IT!
Pirates beat the Mets 4-3
Winner of the game: Mlod, Mangum, and Lowe. Dawgs today. Mangum was totally worth everything and I’m excited for his first PNC park bomb. I LOVE OHEARN
Needs some work: Reynolds and Cruz. Reynolds had a bad day at the plate. Period. We need him to get going especially in clutch situations. Cruz looks lost and defeated and it’s game 3. We gotta rally behind him and get him towards the trajectory he is expected to hit. I’d also like to see the promised Spencer Horwitz but I’ll give him a pass since it’s the first series and I’m a believer.
