Why is JT Riddle on the roster and why does he play every day.

Looks like a good hitting lineup.

Keuchel on the mound for Chicago.

Will be interesting in seeing if the Pirates can become the first team IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME to get No-No'ed on consecutive days.

I believe this team is fully capable.

There goes the no-hitter.

Moran is not available for today’s game due to concussion protocol. I cannot understand why they did not bring Hayes on this road trip. They are playing one position player short in this series.

Exactly why not play Osuna, just mystifying.

The way they treat Osuna makes me think there is some reason they just hate the guy. But OTOH, the management of their personnel has been so ridiculous this season that it's probably just sheer incompetence.

What's up with this umpire calling anything Kycal throws up is a strike and Williams all over the plate and nothing. Do we have a history with ump.

This one's over. Already 4-0 and the Bucs will probably not score. Especially when they know they have to swing at every pitch because the HP ump calls most of Keuchel's pitches strikes regardless of where they are. So every Pirate gets behind in the count before an actual strike is even thrown. We need electronic strike zones!
