    Unfortunately not totally, but still partially unbelievable that we could only get one hit off these guys. Thinking off the top of my head of all time great Pirate hurlers in their long storied franchise, surprisingly not many spring forth. Bert Blyleven, John Tudor, John Candalaria, Steve Blass, Bob Moose, Elroy Face……and the first two I just mentioned performed their finest body of work with the Twins and Cardinals respectively and not the Pirates. This Pirate franchise is loaded for bear historically in great position players, but not great pitchers. Anyway, I still think Bernal is going to have a wonderful series. Let’s win a game or two here in Pennsylvania for the gipper…..shall we.

    Good one, TD. Just looked up Veale’s(properly pronounced “veel”) stats and his lifetime 3.07 ERA in just short of 2000 innings are nothing to sneeze at. You know I don’t think the Pirates have any pitcher in the HoF who played solely for the Pittsburgh franchise.
