In the Rent-A-Kicker feature by Harstad, Arizona's Zane Gonzalez (vs SF) is listed as one who should be avoided at all costs. This is hard to reconcile. Gonzalez is averaging nearly 11 points per game on the road in standard formats. It's not as if the Cards will light up the Niners with TDs.
The 5 main starters they're counting on for next season---Williams, Taillon, Nova, Musgrove, and Archer---combined in 121 games for a 3.64 ERA. The other pitchers used in the rotation had 39 starts before today, for a 5.22 ERA.
In the 72 starts by the trio of Williams, Musgrove, and Taillon, that part of the rotation has a 3.39 ERA. In the other 70 games, the Bucco starting rotation has a 4.71 ERA.
The Bucs are now 186-220 in Augusts and Septembers under Clint Hurdle, going back to 2011. That's .457 baseball. We are again witnessing the annual letdown.
The club has 60 wins. I believe they have 29 games left with divisional rivals against whom they've played nearly .600 ball this season (28-19).
They also have a chunk of games versus Miami, KC, and Minnesota. In all, the schedule really favors a prospective post-season slot. But they have to...
Bucs have used 20 pitchers this season. The club has an overall 4.22 ERA.
I looked at the 11 active ones, from Ivan Nova to Nick Kingham to Alex McRae, who've logged innings for the team. Their cumulative ERA is 3.84. Then, I examined the 9 who are either gone (Smoker, Glasnow, etc.) or...
This is part of an essay I'm working on because I was intrigued by Archer vs the AL East compared to other MLB teams:
Chris Archer started his MLB career in 2012 with the Tampa Bay Rays. In the seasons that followed through 2015, he compiled an impressive 3.33 ERA in over 564 innings. Since...
All very true.
Would not like to see them make a move by tomorrow for the sake of making one. Hoping for an acquisition to be a viable upgrade or, at least, a solid complementary addition.
This is GM Neal Huntington's 11th full year on the job.
The club has an 812-897 record during his tenure. That is .475 baseball, or a season average of 77-85. They've not won a division title in that span.
Otherwise, all is just fine with Pirates ownership, who don't appear concerned though...
