    Pirate Starter Brandon Cumpton:

    Brooks Baseball says he has three pitches, a four seam fastball that he uses as his primary pitch (67 percent) slider, and curve.
    Has very good command of the four seam fastball, throws for strikes, but only averages about 91 mph, and even though he throws it for strikes, does not strike out many (6K-9IP) ratio.

    Good solid slider, scouts say his change up sucks, and with a velocity challenged four seamer, looks like if Brandon's best shot at a big league career is in the bullpen even though he's groomed as a starter his whole life, because that's a receipe for disaster.

    Bio says he went to Georgia Institute of Technology (I didn't even know GIT had a baseball program) which makes him smart anyway.
    Drafted ninth round by Pittsburgh in 2009.

    Throws right, 4 years in the minor leagues nothing really stands out.

    26-24 W/L record, meh
    3.80 ERA, meh
    2:1 BB to K ratio, meh.
    1.26 WH/IP, meh
    6K per 9 IP, meh
    3BB per 9, meh

    Must be noted that Cumpton has made three AAA starts this year, is 2-0, 1.09 WH/IP and told has been solid.

    He's what we call an AAAA pitcher, better than AAA, not quite ready for prime time MLB, he's not Sonny Gray, or Matt Harvey, or Tony Cingrani....

    CIngrani? Cingrani?
    That's his opponent today, I want to bet Reds FF minus a half run, however it's 7am and no Reds line at 5D has been posted, I don't think they know what number to hang on this game yet.

    This is not Cumptons first rodeo. Pirates fan here. They've brought him up several times if I'm not mistaken. Can't recall the results but he's been in this position before

    He's thrown 13 innings vs the Reds (2 starts, one relief appearance), one earned run.

    Why the penetrate has bedard been -150 in his 2 starts? He is literally the worst pitcher in the league. He has 3 outs, 4 walks, 4 runs, and 1st and 2nd no outs in the 2nd inning. Fvcking pathetic

    But what's logic have to do with things?

    So much for breathing easy. Thrown out at the plate in the 9th to tie and lose? Wow. Congrats Nasher!
