    Just another reminder that Folty needs to work on his bunting and contact.

    Allard hasn't had his curve tonight (the rain is probably why) so I want to see him when he has that working.

    Ultimately, he's probably going to need pinpoint command to succeed.

    I reserve my right to change my opinion, but I've seen nothing to budge on me thinking Allard is a number four or five starter at best.
    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 do think its premature to determine his future based on his first ML Start in the rain. As 76 said, without the error, he is cruising. Pitch count is good. Only a couple of well hit balls. Not saying he is going to be great, but I don't think we can dismiss him after tonight with all that was going on.

    It hasn’t been raining the whole game, and he gets a brand new ball every pitch when it is.

    I fully expect folks to make excuses for Allard though. At the end of the day it looks like he’s exactly as advertised.

    If pitching doesn't work out he can always stay on as a pinch bunter. He seems to have it down to a science.

    I’m not sure how pitching in sunshine is going to magically make his fastball not suck.

    I have no interest in a lefty throwing 88 in our rotation. Who is his comp in today's game?

    He’s been giving up batted balls all night. 8
    hits so far in under 6 innings. Hardly cruising.

    So disappointing to see a guy who once hit mid 90s now struggles to hit 90. And everyone was bashing people for dropping him on lists. The scouting reports are accurate.
