DK's Daily Shot of Pirates: A (gasp) smart addition

[@jerryyeager1307]

Thank you DK. He has the wisdom, and experience necessary for more success when it comes to pitching. It will be interesting to watch how it plays out. Great show DK

[@Raxman263]

I think he's looking at coaching Paul Skenes as his next challenge. For those of you that don't know already, Brent Strom was the 2nd major league pitcher to receive "Tommy John" surgery,

[@21DaHoagie12]

A step in the right direction, but still a long way to go.

[@johngunning3371]

Agreed. Good fit for this young pitching staff. Now make some moves to improve the lineup and bullpen.

[@johnmassung]

The Pirates is The Pirates.

[@billd8324]

Strom is a Leyland type of baseball guy. You go where your baseball gut and experience guides you and don't rely on some goofball algorithms.

[@baxatakbaxatak2014]

Fantastic. He can take over when Shelton is finally fired.

[@markbonasorte6711]

Im thinking Bednar & set up relievers

[@robertlong7033]

You can coach them all you want but in the end either they can do it or they can't. You could bring Leo Mazone in and it still wouldn't make a difference.

marine is a terrible pitching coach ! heres his approach get ahead in the count 0 and 2 , or 1and 2 then its time to fart around instead of going right after the hitter and that often results in a walk . I hope he hasnt ruined these young pitchers !

[@RayManzarekRocks]

The Buccos hired an assistant pitching coach! Whooo-hooo! Where's the parade?!

[@bobcatk6027]

Nutting refused to pay for it. He said the Pirates couldn't absorb such a cost. Would look too much like winning a World Series. 😂

BRENT FOR GOVERNOR!

[@shaunhayes2128]

Didn't you pooh pooh this a few weeks ago?

[@DKPS_Penguins]

Nope. Didn't like the way the team announced it. Was specific about that. - Dejan
