Welcome back to the Nine innings! I have some takes to get off of my chest.
I don’t know what has gotten into the Pirates' starting pitching
For the past ten games, Pirates’ starters have gone at least six innings while allowing three runs or fewer. Yes, that is what we call a quality start. This has been great to see. Innings have been eaten up and the bullpen has been able to stay fresh. In these games, the Pirates have gone 7-3. Over that span, the starting pitching as a unit has accumulated an fWAR of 1.
