I think it's pray for rain after the starter comes out of the game.

Yea, the starters have absolutely been good enough to lead the division. The 7th has been a nightmare.

Charlie Morton will be 9-3 after tonight, unless the ‘pen blows up again. He has 11 quality starts. 17 games where he has pitched over 5 innings. ERA is slightly over 3. With any quality relief, he would be in the 12-15 win category.
Drew Smyly is 7-3 4.50, although in 12 of his starts, 5 innings or more. Again, 10 wins right at the break, could have been with the 2020 bullpen.

Continuing with the starting pitching…
Max Fried falls to 7-6 with a 4.46 ERA. He gets on base, no problem.
He‘s been much better since May 5th. Our offense just isn’t good enough to overcome 5 runs like tonight, consistently. Max set the bar high after last year, basically pitching as a #1 starter.
Hopefully, Ian Anderson can blame his inconsistency on injury. And return, as the guy from 2020.

Rosario may not be very good and unavailable due to injury but at least we won't have to pay to feed Sandoval anymore .....

Love these additions. Duvall is who he is and I'm glad that we didn't re-sign him in the offseason, but with injuries we definitely need him now. I also wanted to sign Rosario in the offseason, but it didn't come to pass. He's only a rental, but he definitely strengthens the bench for the rest of the season. Also, I really like that we went after guys who didn't cost much in terms of prospects, and we can have Duvall and Pederson for next year because of their options which will provide depth and strengthen the bench for next year.

Probably the best player/pitcher we could acquire today, based on what A.A. was willing to give up(a little surprised on Bryse Wilson, since they didn’t give him 10 consecutive starts in the rotation let alone 20 or 30). Takes something to get something, but I thought he could have been a late inning reliever if starting didn’t work out. We shall see what the Pirates do with him, in the long run….
