    It would be nice to not suck at home in front of a large crowd for once this year.

    That’s probably true. I don’t get why he keeps throwing guys out there when they need rest

    I don't think he sucks... but I do think he is tired.. He has a rebuilt arm and probably needed a 10 day rest..

    he warms them up on their off days too often too.

    After Winkler had a very awful stretch earlier in the year, his appearances were spaced out and he recovered. All of a sudden, it's been ramped up big time lately. I probably wouldn't have thought L/R matchup here and just gone Biddle anyway to start the inning.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    I think he just sucks. Had some decent games with much luck. Now, luck has run out. Call it fatigued if you want.

    He seems okay in low leverage situations when not used a lot, esp. vs bad teams like Miami.

    Biddle has struggled a lot lately too. He may blow this lead here.

    Good job, Biddle. Terrible walk though.

    If we make the playoffs, to have any success our relievers have to stop with this walking garbage.

    Vizcaino wasn't going to be the closer anyway coming back according to Snit, which I'm sure will disappoint some folks. It's not surprising though, as they seem to plan to rest him more than normal.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
