Welcome back, baseball fans. Jameson Taillon is back to baseball after a five-week journey from the operating room to the pitcher’s mound, and the mailbag also is back after a brief hiatus. The Pirates have won three games in a row, pulling within a half-game of the Cincinnati Reds for fourth place in the National League Central division. At the moment, things are looking up.
All questions are sic’d. If you have a question for next week’s mailbag, send it to snesbitt@post-gazette.com or to @stephenjnesbitt on Twitter. As always, your participation is appreciated.
