This is getting almost comical. Our top pitching prospect is getting tattooed in the first inning and now has an ERA of over 17!!!!!!

Keller is going to be ruined just like others. Maybe he was at a point in time where he didn't have anything left to prove in AAA ball, but ... the FO failed to go out and get another starter and continues rearranging the deck on the Titanic with reliever and starter options internally. That won't work.

Bases loaded. 36 pitches in the 1st inning. Ifvrge pitcher gets a hit we need to just quit.

The standard joke about the Pirates season is becoming a reality.

“There are only 3 dates to the Pirates season”

1) Opening Day

2) The July 31 Trade Deadline

3) The day the Steelers training camp opens

this is only Keller's 6th year as a professional.

yeah, that seems like long enough to me too. When are the Pirates going to develop a pitcher that can come to majors and do well quickly?

4 hits... Ops field softly hit

         Slow dribbler to short

            pop fly falls into left

            absolute can of corn to right that wind carries for a

            ridiculous triple

I would say not really being "tattooed" Instead totally unlucky

Taillon might be the closest to what you are talking about. We have a long line of failures in this. I even consider Kris Benson a bust. Bullington, JVB, Bradley, Burnett ... yep.
