With the Pirates sitting a few games over .500, fans should be happy with what they are seeing on the field so far in 2015. The starting pitching has, for the most part, been as good as advertised. After a few scares with Mark Melancon, the bullpen has been shutting down the opposition. If we as a fan base are going to point to one aspect of the team that needs to get going, it would be the offense.
The offense as a whole has had a tough time so far this season. Given the track record of the established players, it’s too early to worry about most of the starting eight.
