Jones is now second in the majors in xFIP. In first is Jack Flaherty, the bounce-back candidate many of us wanted Cherington to sign in the offseason (and that supposedly we pursued but came up short).

Listening to the postgame NS9 show, and they said over last 22 games the Pirates have scored the fewest runs in MLB. Something like 2.5 runs/game. 22 games is not a SSS, it’s an indication something needs to change.

The FO response to this epidemic of lousy hitting has been to exchange Davis for Grandal. It’s well past time to sacrifice some defense for offense.

It’s well past time to give Nick G, Peggy, and/or Bae a chance to jumpstart this offense. This team can’t afford to have two defensive first IF in Triolo and Williams. Pick one and send down or DFA the other.

Patiently waiting for Reynolds, Hayes, Jack, Cruz and others to get it going isn’t going to cut it. BC needs to make some moves. Now!
