Pirates Postgame: Rodon Shoves, Peguero Gets The Call

Today, the Pirates played another poor game. Zach Thompson pitched a 2-run game, but walked 5 and lasted just 4.1 innings after 83 pitches. With just 2 hits from the offense without scoring a run they are now averaging just 3.07 runs per game in June.

The big story of the day was the announcement of Liover Peguero arriving in Pittsburgh, and then the announcement that he was officially called up in replacement of Tucupita Marcano who was placed on the Covid IL. With this drawing a ton of criticism from the fans, was it completely warranted in this situation? Tyler discusses.
