Welcome back, loyal Pirates mailbag readers. The Pirates have lost three in a row, are off Monday and will begin a three-game series at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati Tuesday. Which begs the question: What’s the deal with Tyler Glasnow’s glove-flutter? Let’s dig in.
@tnbuccofan: Any reason to wonder about the triple-digit velocity that has been missing this year from Felipe?
Elizabeth: Hi, @tnbuccofan. I, too, have noticed that Felipe Vazquez’ fastball velocity seems to have dipped, but I think it’s something to keep an eye on more than something that should produce panic.
