Good horsefeathers Smyly. I wouldn't of hated it if Counsel decided to start him in the 5th against Ohtani/Freeman instead of letting them get a third look at Hendricks.
We're going to find out what our offense is all about over the next 3-4 series. If you look at the scheduled pitching matchups over that time, I don't think it's possible to get a tougher stretch in regards to the highend SP we are lined up against.
Didn't the Pirates start off something like 20-8 last year? They've got some nice young pieces, but I don't think they are deep enough to compete for a full year.
Yep was just telling a buddy that. Hopefully it's just trying to get through their last ST game without injuries. The defense has been piss poor to say the least.
