The Pittsburgh Pirates (1-3) are taking on the Milwaukee Brewers (2-2) in game two of a three-game set at PNC Park. The Pirates are sending out lefty Derek Holland for his Pirates debut, while the Brewers will have former Pirate Josh Lindblom on the mound.
Two roster moves from the bullpen were announced today, so I posted the discussion thread early. Crick and Holmes are down with strains, Hartlieb and Del Pozo return to Pittsburgh.
Pirates put Kyle Crick on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder/lat muscle strain and Clay Holmes on the 10-day IL with a right forearm strain.
They called up Geoff Hartlieb and Miguel Del Pozo from their alternate training site in Altoona.

We had 363 comments in yesterday’s Live Game Discussion, possibly a record for a discussion post. I’m sure the rain delay and extra innings helped.
