The Pirates have finally elected to take David Bednar out of the closer role, but this may still be a situation to avoid as it appears the team will go with a committee approach the rest of the season. Aroldis Chapman and Dennis Santana figure to be the two main closing options, and to be fair both have pitched exceptionally well since the All-Star break, so I wouldn’t argue against rostering either one. Chapman has a 1.82 SIERA, 0.78 WHIP, plus a 33.8% K-BB and 34.2% CSW rates, while Santana holds a 2.23 SIERA, 0.65 WHIP, plus a 30% K-BB and 35.3% CSW rates since the All-Star break. I just can’t see the Pirates winning enough games to make both of these guys a must-roster option down the stretch, but again there are worse options out there and at least these two can help with strikeouts and possibly ratios as well.

It is officially small sample size season for the 2024 draftees. For the draftees that have actually taken the field, the majority of them have not played more than 10-15 games, so there is really nothing to analyze from the results. With that in mind, we are going to analyze some of the results we have seen from the 2024 class! We are going to keep this in a positive light and look at some of the players that have performed well since their debut in professional baseball. Let’s get into some overreactions!

Aurora, Colo. -- Angry Aurorans on social media poked fun at the local news media Friday as more information came out about Venezuelan gangs on the Front Range. Mike Coffman, Aurora mayor, posted on Facebook that the city will use court orders to shut down additional apartment complexes that have been infiltrated by the gangs. It contradicted comments made by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who told the New York Post the gang problem was a figment of Aurora council member Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.
