What Josh Bell is doing....man. I’m out of words. Out. Of. Words. Side note: how can fans possibly quit on this #Pirates team? Win or lose, there’s fight. Passion. Most importantly: talent. Don’t forget that.

Have heard some stray rumblings that the #Pirates sent a scout to Dallas Keuchel's bullpen session/showcase thingy. Haven't been able to confirm that, but if they did, it would amount to something akin to due diligence.

Colin Moran gets a ton of flack from #Pirates fans, but preparing his player notes for Piratesguide made me realize that he had just 37 PAs before taking on a mostly full time role (465 PAs) . That was a huge jump. Still slashed .277/.340/.407.

So if the Dodgers are really ok with giving Stripling for Cervelli, and the #Pirates DON'T do that deal - kick in cash if necessary - that nearly amounts to being derelict of duty. One mental hangup PIT would have to get over is how Stripling fits in after 2019 w/ Keller looming
