According to Statcast, Carmen Mlodzinski added a gyro-like slider to his pitch arsenal. The fastball velocity ticked up a bit. Both of those factors helped him get more swing and miss during the 2024 season. bucsondeck.substack.com/p/carmen-mlo...

I enjoyed the DJ Moore show at the end, stat padding for my fantasy team. But would've liked some added Jamo and Gibbs points in OT.

As stolen base numbers continue to climb, being able to control the running game has become that much more important. I look at who did that the best in the Pirates' system over on the site today. bucsondeck.substack.com/p/who-contro...

This is one of my favorite lists, in that Colorado has some intriguing upper level OF bats that maybe a certain team in Pittsburgh with a lot of upper level pitching prospects could find some common ground in a trade. Or just get Brenton Doyle, cause again, Rockies loaded up in OF.

Now that we're through the inevitable Skenes winning RoY, time for the #Pirates to make moves to boost the roster around him.

FWIW...Tuesday is the last day to outright an injured player, so those players would have had to be placed on waivers yesterday

The Pirates Top 10 isn't as stacked as last year at this time.
The good news is the reason it isn't as loaded is because Paul Skenes and Jared Jones graduated into being excellent starting pitchers.
