North Shore Tavern Mound Visit: A coda for three pitchers' seasons

I wrote a lot about Pirate pitching in 2021, especially in Mound Visit. Even though they finished the year with a 5.08 ERA, the third-worst in baseball, I found the group to be more compelling than the hitters, by and large. Compelling doesn't necessarily mean good. If Mitch Keller tossed a gem, that was the big news story of the day. If he got shelled, that would also be the big story.

For the most part, I wrote or podcasted about everything I wanted to say, but there were some final thoughts I wanted to get out there on a handful of key pitchers going forward.
