————————————————————————————————————————————————
Any day any team whales on the Red Sox is a good day, so yesterday was a good day as the Pirates beat them 9-4. Wil Crowe got his first win as a Buc, Adam Frazier continued his super-hot spring, and Ke’Bryan Hayes keeps being Ke’Bryan Hayes.
Mitch Keller, the subject of Robert Kelley’s excellent article today, is on the mound. Unfortunately, his current ERA isn’t a typo, but I agree with Robert that he’s in a good place with Oscar Marin to maybe unlearn some bad habits (*cough*hanging fastball*cough*). The O’s counter with John Means, who had a decent outing against the Braves in Baltimore’s 5-2 win on March 17th, giving up two hits and striking out four in four innings.
Let’s hang out, have some fun in the comments, and, as always, LET’S GO BUCS!
