If the review umpires don't know the rule, then they need to take the time needed to make the correct call. Why have replays if this is going to happen? Someone posted yesterday that the Pirates have first place starting pitching and last place offense. Couldn't agree more. It is funny, at the beginning of the year the concern was the starting pitching, now the bullpen is the issue. It has been an issue for years, the bullpen (often middle relief and others) losing games. Combine it with a weak offense and it is very tough to win.

The Pirates only need 9 players + a bullpen and they’ll be set.
