The bullpen, not so great.

But the starting pitching, I think, has been great, and they're adding another one.

Jared Jones is going to be back.

They announced that Lajinsky is going to go to the bullpen.

He had a presser that he wasn't too happy about, obviously.

I think if you talk to Pittsburgh Pirate fans, maybe – and it's weird because you want all these guys as starters, and where's the other team we're seeing this happen?

With the Mariners.

You get too many starting pitchers right now, and not everyone's going off, but these guys are reliable starting pitchers, so you want to keep them stretched out.

Jared Jones taking Majinski's spot.

A lot of people are saying Bubba Chandler, should he be the one to go back there?

He's dealt with his issues, letting base runners on walks.

The command isn't always there.

The stuff obviously is, and you want him as a starter, but that's going to be something the Pirates will have to navigate through.

But yeah, a split series here as far as the Cubs go.

They've been a streaky team, obviously.

We've mentioned that already.

And for them, I think it's just staying the course.

You're getting Ben Brown, who's looked great in his starts in the rotation.

And it's just like the offense just needs to get going again, essentially.

I know the defense has been a little bit disappointing for them as well, and they're basically relying on starting pitching and then some of their big bats to have the big games, and that's a recipe that can keep you around .500.
