<t>Was Glasnow mismanaged or is it just taking him time to figure some things out? He started in spring training and was throwing strikes. Is the move to the bullpen responsible for him throwing better or was it an adjustment they made this spring? I don't know. I am not disputing that service time ...

To me, any starter at Indy is fair game to come be a reliever this year. There isn't a prospect high enough to worry about having them hit the pen during the season. Even go to Altoona where the only untouchable would be Keller.

I would have gone with Glasnow. They need their starters to go 6 or 7 so we don't have to see Neverauskus except in blowouts.

If Nova keeps pitching like he has, Brault, Musgrove and Kuhl can be starters.

<r>I think this is an interesting article about a former Pirate draft pick. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <URL url="http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2768162-how-hayden-hurst-went-from-baseball-flameout-to-potential-1st-round-nfl-pick?utm_source=cnn.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=editorial"...

I am going to enjoy the ride. The line up is a solid line up with possibilities for players to have good years and score runs. The starting pitching has been ok and does have some young potential. Plus, they are 2 1/2 games ahead of the Cubs so that is kind of fun.

<t>I didn't like the walks but when Williams missed he was missing just off the plate rather than over the middle. If he was missing over the middle, I think he gives up a few runs and the Pirates lose. I don't know how Williams will pitch this year but I am not going to worry about walks in one gam...

Is Rivero available today after being used twice yesterday?

The bullpen is not good. They need to find someone they can trust. Is Hughes out there and available?

They are facing Lance Lynn, so someone they are familiar with.
