    I'm worried about Gusto in game 2.

    Keller has been throwing the ball very well, (I'm hoping that the Pirates will eat some money and trade Keller to the Stros in exchange for a couple of young bats.) He's no joke. However the Pirates lineup and bullpen are pretty bad.

    How are the Pirates so bad again. Truly a trash organization since the early 90s. Makes you count your blessings with the Astros.

    Looking at the responses Seems like Skenes and Burrows are legit.
    The other 3 or 4 pitchers in the rotation are Forrest Whitley.

    So L-L-W
