No love for Shane Greene today? I know its the Pirates, but he gets to face a pitcher. Not to mention he has a mean mohawk and is throwing 97 after all

To be honest we are probably still on a 2015 hangover from Shane Greene, but you may have a point. Will keep a cautious eye on him but will need to see continued results before being swayed I’d say.
