Series Thread: Mets at Pirates

[Darkstone42]

I'm going to predict this series as the turning point. I thought the Bucs looked good against the Twins, it just didn't go as planned. But Morton's back on Monday, and he's looked good in his rehab assignment so our rotation will be four deep instead of just three, Cole is an ace, and the bats are starting to get going. Harrison and McCutchen have found their bats for sure, Pedro's starting to get hot (and his walk and strikeout rates are the best in his career so far to boot), Kang looks like the real deal. They're going to be scoring runs pretty consistently moving forward, I think.

But after Cole abused the hitters last night, the bats have abused Harvey today. This has to turn them around.

There's the sweep. Now let's take care of Miami.

Liriano went 6 and struck out 12, allowing just one run.

Pirate starters were dominant this series, 21.1 IP 17 H 3 R (2 ER) 0 HR 3 BB 32 (!) K
