Glad to see Stallings back in the line-up. Shelton will probably rest him tomorrow.

Tonight is one of the smallest crowds I can remember seeing.



On the positive side, if Reynolds played in the 70’s I think he would have been a .350 hitter. He is outstanding.

I see Keller is being Keller through three innings.

It's bring your dog night. Plenty of seats for the dogs to sit. That's one way to increase attendance

got his ERA back above 6. That's not too bad for a Pirate pitcher in 2021.

Keller had been doing better lately but tonight he again looked like he has no business in MLB. :(



He doesn't overpower hitters. He doesn't seem to have a great change or curve. I don't know what it is about him that's supposed to make him a successful MLB pitcher.

it may be dog night at the park, but Keller has no bulldog in him.

Park gets Keller off the hook.



Keller's career AAA stats are not overly impressive. 3.86 ERA and 180 hits in 184 IP. The only thing that stands out is his Ks. He could overpower AAA hitters but not to the extent that it seriously limited their hits or runs. Against MLB hitters he can't limit the damage by overpowering hitters so the hits and runs are out of control.

Chavis puts the Bucs ahead 7-6. I think he could be a good addition next year.
