The Pirates have had some poor pitching this year throughout their staff, from the rotation to the bullpen. I’ve broken down the many things that has led to this, whether it’s previous top players struggling, a bad off-season approach with the rotation, the injury to Gerrit Cole, the prospects not being ready in time, and so on.
It looks like we might be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel with the rotation. Jameson Taillon showed more encouraging signs tonight in Seattle. Chad Kuhl is in the rotation to stay for now, and I’m looking forward to his next outing on Saturday to see how he does minus the MLB debut jitters.
