Pirates Off To Unexpected Great Start

If you would've told majority of Pirates fans that their team would be sitting at 5-1 right now, they would probably laugh in your face. After trading away key pieces from their previous playoff runs, Andrew McCutchen and Gerrit Cole, the team seemed to lack the key pieces to win ball games. The team has surprisingly been able to manage to score runs and pitch well in the first six games. With Josh Bell and Jameson Taillon leading the way, the team seems to be very intriguing to watch as the season progresses. Only time will tell if the Pirates will actually make a playoff push this season but as of now, they are on pace for a 161-1 season!
