<t>I don't understand what appears to be the prevailing perspective that the Pirates traded Glasnow because they wanted to dump Glasnow. They traded Glasnow because that is what it took to get Archer. For those of you that seem to think Glasnow had fallen behind the likes of Kingham and Holmes, you ...

<t>I remarked on this board multiple times that Glasnow was pitching much better for the Pirates than his ERA suggested. It was clear to me than he was taking the brunt on poor infield defense more than most of our pitchers. I was disappointed he was traded. Therefore, I don’t think this start in Ta...

There’s no way Trevor Williams does this yesterday!

<t>I don’t get too worked up when they rest position players since those guys play practically everyday. There’s common sense in rest in that case even if the value is hard to quantify. Bringing up a AAA pitcher in a pennant race scenario to give a starting pitcher five days rest instead of four isn...

I guess it doesn’t matter since Sadler is terrible. Hurdle is telling position players to start warming up.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have any choice because he’s already boxed himself into a corner. He’s probably going to have to use a good pitcher in a bad situation already. He definitely would have if he had pinch hit.

Jerry Crasnick reported very definitively a little while ago that the Pirates are out on Gausman.

<t>Archer certainly makes the team better, but the past three years of performance and the salary going forward don't make me believe there's tremendous surplus value. I could get on board with one premium prospect. I'd actually choose Keller, though. Archer locks us down pretty well in the rotation...
