I am beginning to wonder if Keller is the pitcher they think he is. It appears he is always having first inning problems.
Let's hope he doesn't end up with Nick Kingham in Korea. :(
Keller back in to start the Top of 2nd. Another interesting ST twist I guess. 2nd pitch, HR....

He's still pitching in the 2nd inning. And gave up a HR. 4-1. :(

Keller struck out the side in the second inning. Announcers said the HR was a fly ball out if not in ST.



Hey, I've got to cling something!

Keller is not nor never will be a number 1 pitcher. Don't know who thought he was going to be the Pirate saviour but whoever did they should be fired.

I agree ,at this time I wouldn’t care if they sent him back to Indy. He might be one of these prospects who never makes it.

Meanwhile, we also get to watch Glasnow make more than a few of our hitters look silly.

Keller was hit hard. The couple of homers were wind-blown, but he was still hit HARD.



Did not look good at all.



I know it's just one spring training outing, but I just wonder if he's another one of the endless string of Pirates who is ALLEGEDLY a stud and future superstar in the minors ... then as soon as he puts on the Pirates uniform he looks lost.



Oh joy.



Like I posted last week, the starting pitching on this team is a straight-up disaster. Nothing above a typical No. 5 starter. And most of these guys aren't even good enough to be a No. 5 starter.

Guess you didn't happen to notice the Pirates hung 4 runs on him in 4 innings.



Yeah, he dominated.

I know its only spring training and that pitchers are trying to get their 'work' in. But, 8 runs in 2 innings and 64 pitches is a bad day regardless of the situation.



What also stands out to me that the pitchers who followed Keller surrendered only 2 runs over 6 innings.



It likely is past time to be concerned about Keller's ability to be a solid member of the starting rotation, let alone a staff ace.
