Bottom Line for the Pittsburgh Pirates
The 2023 season started great for the Pirates, but it has fallen off since then. The Pirates are two days away from the All-Star break and are currently sitting in fourth in the National League Central and are 8.5 games back of the Reds and 8.5 games back for the final Wild Card spot. The Pirates have dropped six of their last ten and dropped three straight. Today they will look to get back in the win column with their All-Star Mitch Keller taking the ball and going against Kyle Nelson for the Diamondbacks with first pitch set for 4:10 PM EST.
Glad we got rid of Rob Z wasn’t impressed now need to get rid of the rest of the dead weight In bullpen Scott Buorski needs to be next to be replaced with younger pitcher… Also our infield defense was a joke the bad throws from Santana and the Hedges error as well as the blown coverage of 1st on the bunt fielded by Santana we GAVE them that game
