The fact that we barely have a MLB pitching staff and still winning is blowing my mind.

It's great watching these young kids fight for their placement in the 2024 season, and help the Pirates mental image in the process. No doubt that Endy Rodriguez will be at least 50% of our Catching tandem next year, and Jared Triolo, our best Minor League 3B, has come up to MLB to play 3B, 2B, and seeing 1B last night. Both EndyRod (105.8 mph, 431') and Triolo (104.7 mph, 415') homered when the Pirates needed it most to help secure the victory.

Triolo has been smoking hot his last 15 Games with 42 AB, 10 R, 11 H, 2 Doubles, 3 HR, and 3 SB. He has also improved his BB/K during that period with 10 BB/16 K. Slash during those last 15 games of .262/.426/.524/.950 OPS.

The Reds and the Pirates are both very young teams and could flip flop the Central in 2024. Stratton throwing 98.1, and LL Ortiz 97.8 and 9 Swings and Miss are encouraging from 2 pitching Rookies.
