The Pittsburgh Pirates have made a few puzzling moves and decisions during their landslide collapse in the National League standings.
From continuing to trust Colin Holderman and David Bednar to pulling Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Bryan Reynolds before their next at-bats during a no-hitter, the finger can be pointed in a multitude of directions.
Another surrounds promotions, or lack thereof, regarding young players who could impact the Major League club in 2025. The Pirates promoted infielder/outfielder Billy Cook over the weekend, and he immediately made an impact. Cook finished the day 2-for-4 with two RBIs and strong defensive play at first base.
