Another loss for the Pirates last night sends them to 4 consecutive L’s. Was it another controversial move by Don Kelly to take out Mitch Keller for Evan Sisk, which immediately led to the Cardinals taking the lead. Chris defended Kelly because the long history of baseball would tell you to take Keller out when he did – not just the new wave of analytics. Sisk has been great and Keller didn’t have a great history against Nolan Gorman. Kelly hasn’t always pushed the right buttons, but the bullpen occasionally has to do its job.
