It’s so disappointing to watch this pitching staff fail game after game. Somebody needs to figure out Tallion’s “problem”. The Pirates desperately need him to much better.
Hopefully, someone other than another team.
Sadly, that’s not a joke, it’s the truth.
I’ve definitely lost confidence in Pirate development AND Philosophy. The “pitch to contact” stuff...who came up with this idea? If it means anything other than “throw your best stuff” then we should rename it “pitch to kill career“. I don’t know how the Pirates are using him, but I don’t want Tallion to become the best #4 in MLB because of some pitching Philosophy. What a waste of this young man’s talent.
To take this back to Dickerson: the Pirates have a lot of death in the rotation but they don’t have much high-end talent. Trading for middling pitchers has got to be crossed off Neal’s list of options. He needs to acquire a couple high end guys and I don’t see Dickerson doing that.
Marte however....
Would Neal trade Marte for a legit high end guy?
They're certainly killing the Pirates.
