While the Pirate’s have done many things right this year, their handling of Liz was not one of them.
Liz is not a relief pitcher. He is a starter. He has to follow a set routine and his stats show it. When he was signed, I was of the opinion that he would be a starter. He failed miserably coming out of the pen in the past, rebuilt his career as a starter, so that is how he should have been used. Instead, he was used in relief, failed at it, and was sent down to the minors. There he was a starter, and excelled. They brought him back up, and put him back in the pen where he failed once again. What a shock.

Liz has never been successful as a starter at the big league level. He is one of those AAAA guys.The Pirates couldn’t afford to give a guy like that starts in a pennant race.

Same with Stolmy Pimentel. But in the Pirates defense, if you don’t show the ability to get major league hitters out, you shouldn’t be in the starting rotation.

Good for Vanimal. Hope he can find a spot in the rotation for next year

Glad Vance is back Might not be an Ace but nice to have to eat some innings or spot start and not be the worst at it.
