On the latest episode of the Pitching In podcast, Post-Gazette Pirates beat writer Jason Mackey and AT&T SportsNet analyst and former Pirates catcher Michael McKenry tackle several key questions, starting with Johan Oviedo's vastly different results across two Missouri starts. That leads into discussion about the recent road trip, where the Pirates have grown, and also Jason's story about Ke'Bryan Hayes, Double-A hitting coach Jon Nunnally and major league hitting coach Andy Haines.
Fort gives some insight into the Pirates' offensive approach and argues why it's not fair to blame it all on Haines. They also discuss some key offseason decisions for the Pirates, most notably what (and who) they'd like to see general manager Ben Cherington add, as well as what it could take to ensure a smooth return for Andrew McCutchen.
