Pirates 4, Red Sox 1: Pitching Showed Up, Bats Didn’t
My Over The Monster colleague Mike Carlucci posted something in a group chat a few weeks ago about Nick Pivetta in jest that truly caught my eye and became the joke of all my friend groups outside this site due to a screenshot. Someone, maybe it was even me, had jokingly called Nick Pivetta the ace of this squad. Coming into tonight, it was a theory that everyone was hoping would come true... because, hey, it couldn’t get much worse than the last week on the mound. I defended Pivetta by saying 4.50 ERA could be a lot worse, and Mike typed back that he was a 4.50 pitcher by way of either pitching a shutout or 9 earned runs.
