I went Saturday night vs. ATL. Kuhl is a bulldog much like Josh Fogg was years ago for the Bucs. Painful to watch but he showed guts. More than they are getting from Glasnow or, too often, Cole.
Glasnow is teetering close to the dreaded AAAA label. If the Pirates believe there is no benefit to optioning him to Indy, maybe long relief is in order, which is where Earl Weaver put his young starters before they made their bones. Pitch in low pressure and learn.
Offensively this is a popgun outfit in a power era. "Little ball" hasn't been in vogue since the 1966 Dodgers. The Pirates strike out too much to have any feasible chance of sustaining a long, cascading attack.
