It's really tough to watch when the bats/pitching both fail this team.I don't think it actually matters that David Bednar is fat.
The bottom line is that he is closer to Wil Crowe than he is to Mason Miller stuff-wise.
This is why it's irresponsible for bad teams (like the Pirates in 2021-2023) to not trade relievers for hauls. Because at the end of the day he's an ordinary reliever who had a good run.

It's a bad mix and it's why we're a bad team
"We don't do that here".I know the August trade rules have changed, but I think players can still be placed on waivers for the purpose of trades.
Put Chapman on waivers and see if anyone wants him, he's of no use to the team now.
I'd say do the same for Bednar, but he's from Mars, PA, so God forbid they get rid of him.
Brault is doing PBP and is surprisingly good at it. Brown is at his son's wedding this weekend.
I think they could still get something for Bednar, and now that he's going into arbitration they may prefer to get a 10-20 ranked prospect in someone's system versus paying him $7M next year.I'd say do the same for Bednar, but he's from Mars, PA, so God forbid they get rid of him.
Yea, when it comes down to it we have an $80m payroll.Also for the Cherington apologists who rattle off every single pitcher in the Pirates entire organization - the other options for the 10th inning were Ben Heller, Woodford and German.
Don't wanna f****g hear about some prospect you like in H-A ball when ya boi can't construct a major league roster.

Joke of a franchise.
This is where analytics are BS. If a pitcher is terrified of throwing his 4-seam fastball, it's a bad pitch stuff-wise.The last numbers I've seen on Bednar suggest that his stuff still grades out fine. I think he needs a different look for RHH because none of them really seem fazed by him lately.
We're crying in the streetsI'd say his Pirates career is over.
O thought for sure his 15 million dollar team option was getting picked upI'd say his Pirates career is over.
Bob Nutting is definitely upset; he's not quite Lonnie Chisenhall or Josh Maile, but he doesn't like paying players to spend a majority of the season on IL.We're crying in the streets
