Well, I will put it this way then. The bucs had no business winning the 2 games they did win. I’m glad they did, regardless of nitpicking at the language I used, J-Mac is a huge detrement to his team at this point and is in need of major repair. We definitely need him right.

you cant say certain loss since he started this he is 2-2 record wise not saying that he is the reason they won but no “Certain” loss

I have to agree. Perhaps a trip to the DL for JMac may be in order. Three turns out of the rotation might help. Lincoln or Locke could take his place

Ok, I will be the first to ask. How long do we go with J-Mac? I realize he had an amazing first half, but being in a penant race with a team that never seems to lose I can’t see how the Pirates can afford the almost certain loss that comes with J-Mac over the last 3 or 4 games. I definitely don’t feel I’m being rash here, J-Mac definitely is having major control issues that need worked out and it definitely more than just a blip on the radar. My feeling is one more start to get it right and if he doesn’t use Lincoln until J-Mac gets it figured out.
