Don't understand playing Riddle or Dyson, neither have a future and this should be about the future.

Riddle plays because Moran, Newman are nursing injuries and Evans is on the DL. They have no choice there. As for Dyson, he may be the lesser of two evils in CF. Tucker has to play RF because Polanco needs to DH today.

I guess they think Moran and Newman will not need some time on the IL because if they were going to be out for a period of time I expected Hayes to be called up.

Point is I'd play Polanco in right and Tucker in center and Osuna at 3rd. Dyson is the one that really burns me he has zero future, what's the point.

It sounds like Newman, Moran and Kela are all available for tonight’s game with the White Sox.

Just about every Brault pitch is outside.

When Brault is pitching there should be no DH.

Brault is a better hitter than anyone the Pirates could in as DH

Power surge in Chicago is preventing the broadcast. Back in Pittsburgh the radio team (Block, Walk) is listening to the White Sox radio broadcast and providing game details. Brault walked yet another batter.

when are the Bucs going to bring up a player like Eloy Jiminez?
