    I doubt Young saw it right away either. At that point, Acuna is kind of hung up. That’s if Acuna even heard Young.

    Unless the starter can go for a long period, Snit is just not very good. It's been easy for a layfemale to predict what the moves should be.
    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.

    They were halfway to commercial before they realized that Betts had dropped it; so they weren't really in position to criticize Acuña.

    This Boston pitcher looks as athletic as a bag of syrup and we can’t do anything with him

    Kelly and Kimbrel are lurking.

    This game is most likely over.

    Good lord Snit is dumb. Sometimes high leverage is earlier than you think. Winkler should've been in to face Betts after Vazquez.

    No big deal: he's just demonstrating that he doesn't belong managing this team come 2019.

    Starting to look like a 70-75 win team that was stacking wins early in the season.

    I still think we flirt with .500 or maybe a game or 2 better. Just thought we were more serious than we really are.

    Might be time to pump the brakes on the "future ace" talk, huh? Right now he looks realistically more like "future Drew Pomeranz", which is valuable nonetheless.

    That's what it'd come out to be if it was .500.

    I've said that I expect him to be up and down for another year or so.

    A 70-75-win team, talent-wise, that's played this well the first two months is still likely to surpass .500 overall. That's good progress for this organization, even if folks are thirsty for true contention now.

    I think by next year he settles in as a 3. Maybe higher if control improves. Definitely won't be a 4 or a bullpen piece. *snort*

    I'm just saying, let's not call Newcomb a failure if "all" he is is future Drew Pomeranz.
