The Pittsburgh Pirates fell 10 to 5 to the Atlanta Braves, and Cody and Doug had plenty to say about it. Mitch Keller lasted just three innings, the bullpen once again failed to keep the game within reach, and the frustration around the pitching staff continues to grow.
On the positive side, Jake Mangum had a huge day at the plate, Bryan Reynolds and Esmerlyn Valdez went back to back, and the offense continued to show fight. But with the Pirates getting real production from the lineup, the question becomes even louder: how much longer can they afford to let the pitching staff drag them down?
