Per the Trib:



No MLB team has allowed more first-inning hits (25), first-inning walks (12) or first-inning runs (23) than the Pirates. No other team entered Saturday having allowed more than 14 first-inning runs this season.

I know we've had some bright spots lately, but it is bad, long-term business model to go into a season with virtually no starting pitching. Not only do you lose lots of games, but it just flat-out wears out the bullpen when they have to constantly enter in the 3rd inning.



And today with Chad Kuhl I have ZERO confidence that the trend will change.

good stats



dang I coulda been making bank on first inning prop bets



prob regress to mean. but I might try to dip my toe in anyways

on the road, the Bucs need to start getting at least 3 or 4 runs in the first.

So depressing.



Our pitching is wretched.



Down 2-0 or 3-0 or 4-0 what feels like every single game.



And our offense is wretched, so you know they have no chance of overcoming an early deficit.



Sticking confidently with my 59-103 pick.
