Ron Cook: An Anthony Rizzo retaliation is not a priority, winning some games, maybe at least one, is

Even before the Pirates lost again to the Chicago Cubs Tuesday night, it was obvious they have bigger problems than Anthony Rizzo.

You wanted retribution for Rizzo’s hard slide Monday into catcher Elias Diaz?

How about your team winning a game once in a while?

Wouldn’t that have been better?

The Pirates have lost 9 of 11 after this latest 8-6 defeat. They were in first place in the National League Central Division May 17 with a 26-17 record. They are in fourth place this morning with a 28-26 record, 6 games behind first-place Milwaukee.
