Yep! That hit and run was huge. Clint nailed that one. And really good job by Shuck!

Pirates vs Reds (who knew?), 4/4
Lot's of positives from last night:
Lyles
The combined effort of the Pen
Marte 2 hits
Bell 2 hits and a big RBI
Bell made some nice plays at 1st
The Pirates were oh so close to losing another late game as the 9th bacame a total train wreck, well almost: the did its part and shut down the threat.

Interesting first week of the season.
There was a consensus building that the offense was going to be better than we expected, and the rotation worse. I think the offense has been as expected, and the pitching better. The bullpen handed the cardinals a sweep, and they are the only part of the team that has disappointed.
I think Taillon and Williams are very good. Archer is going to be consistent and Lyles a wildcard. I'm hoping that Musgrove pitches well tonight, he's a guy that gets through innings, but he gives up runs, so the offense will have to score some when he's on the mound.
Rich Rodriguez gave up only 19 runs all of last year, he's already given up 4 in three appearance, he pitched in 63 games last year. One inning can swing a game when you are playing in low scoring games, I find it hard to fault them for using rodriguez in leverage situations after last year and his strong ST.

yes, Rodriguez has to be given a chance. If he fails there is a gap in the bullpen (even if Burdi fills his spot or Santana's spot).
Liriano in the pen is a big question mark to me.
