Lots of people losing their minds over #Pirates bullpen performance. Been a rough couple wks, but expectations of high-leverage relievers always being perfect are unrealistic. Different guys have had their bad moments & it’s added up to some brutal losses, but all is not lost. Quick assessment of Bucs relievers: Gregory Soto: Rough last night. No concerns. Dennis Santana: Amazing for almost 2 seasons, but the magic appears gone. Lack of swing-and-miss even more of an issue. Concern very high. Mason Montgomery: Electric. No concerns. Isaac Mattson: Results good, but a one-pitch guy living on borrowed time. Moderate concern. Yohan Ramirez: Jack-of-all-trades. Versatility key. No concerns. Evan Sisk: Surprisingly good. Low concern. The rest are replaceable fodder. Team needs Santana & Mattson to be good or an issue now turns into a big problem.

I will continue to put this out there because I believe it. The #Pirates are a top 5 team in all of baseball right now. They are elite at so many things. Closing out baseball games with this bullpen is not one of them. We are so close. #LetsGoBucs

The wise and all knowing Terry Francona is not even infallible

7th time a Pirates pitcher 10+ SO, 0 runs, 0 walks (since 1901) Paul Skenes has thrown 3 of them

Can’t believe the Pirates got Brandon Lowe, Mason Montgomery and Jake Mangum for Mike Burrows

Paul Skenes had an ERA of 135.00 after facing his first 7 batters this season and has a 1.09 ERA since then.

Paul Skenes struck out the first 6 batters he faced tonight, so the next hitter tried to lay down a bunt. Skenes acknowledged the effort 😭

@AGretz I really think you need to start rotating up AAA guys to just get looks, if it works they stay and grow at the big league level if not they go back down and it’s a net zero. Atleast if you’re going to schedule in B squad games like tonight.

The lack of depth on the Pirates roster is a big concern.

@baseballjake081 @Veno202 Dotel, let him get looks against big league batters until he’s needed and/or ready for the rotation

@Veno202 Being replaced by who exactly?

Yeah I think this is it for Justin Lawrence

@ASab7 @Nathan_Hursh Ehhh Santana has not been himself all year honestly

@Nathan_Hursh Santana was good minus one bad game Lawrence -3

Bullpen confidence ratings: Soto 9 Montgomery 9 Santana 5 Sisk 5 Yohan 5 Mattson 5 Lawrence 3 Sanders 3

@Nathan_Hursh All due respect Lawrence is about a 1
