Loss is on Mitch Keller and unfortunately the stagnant offense since the 3rd inning.
Sometimes the offense is going to do that so Iโm not upset with them, but no excuse for the highest paid pitcher on this team to be one of the worst starters in all of baseball since May.
Rough
Yes, the Pirates could have swept the Astros, but rebounding after that horrific bullpen meltdown from last night is massive for this team.
Needed to win this series before going against the Braves and they did it.
Try to be .500 or better this road trip.
Letโs Go Bucs!
Say this for this Pittsburgh Pirates team. Every time they lose a game that looks like it is going to absolutely ruin their season they find a way to get over it. Won the series. That is all you can ask for on the road. Just avoid a sweep in Atlanta and a .500 road trip works.
Darnell Washington contract might be the worst deal negotiated by an Agent all Offseason. $10.5M per yr and worst itโs 4 seasons. Shorter Term = Shot at a 3rd NFL Contract earlier. Ascending unique young player. $10.5M is a steal.
@_NoahHiles Why did they part ways with Oscar Marin and hire Murphy? Pitching has been a strength until this season. It sucks in general. Can someone talk about that?
