At least Gonzales got a rest after playing 2 games. But he pinch ran so that might require another day off. I'll bet when Cherington reviews the analytics of this game, the trends, the players resting, the pitch counts, the bat speed, the launch angles, etc, he's going to be very pleased. Fans get t...

In response to people talking about great pitchers on other teams, I’ve often said half-jokingly, just wait 10 years and the Pirates will get him. That was the case with Chapman. He’s certainly past his prime. But that’s the only way the Pirates get players who were once outstanding.

Cutch HR! 10-8.

Grandal 3-run HR puts Bucs back on top 9-8.

What was supposed to be a landmark game for the organization and had all fans excited has become one of the most disturbing, frustrating and humiliating games in franchise history. At least we know all jobs are safe.
