Which begs the question: with this pitching staff, can the Pirates win 20 games the rest of the way?
That would give them 58 wins. With tonights win, the Brewers will have 60. Which I know is like a dagger in your chest!

not to mention the offense.

I didn’t mention the offense because I didn’t want anyone to start crying.

Looking over at Reddit thread, just read all this.

Cahill fell down some steps and fractured a foot.

DeJong had knee surgery, done for the season

Well, if a couple more pitchers fall down some stairs, they might go to 56....my prediction!

They might get some innings from Brault before the season ends. Not that he is that great but he's better than a lot of the guys they've used this year. At least Brault can hit.

So now BC, in addition to acquire guys who can hit and pitch, has to find players who can negotiate steps? Poor bastard.

Castro gets his 4th MLB hit and 4th HR. Has this ever happened before?
