1.Spencer Torkelson is hitting .333 with three home runs since returning in mid-August. How’s your confidence with him for the rest of the season and next year?

5.David Bednar. When will the Pirates take fantasy owners out of their misery? Just brutal.

6.Liam Hendrix is about ready to return. Is there any chance that he will get a save opportunity or two?

7.Jared Jones returned and did not pitch well. Are you going to start him for his next start? He has a two-start week next week against the Cubs and Nationals.

8.Kumar Rocker had an amazing outing in Triple-A on Thursday. He went five innings (his longest of the season), he gave up one hit, striking out ten while not walking anyone.
a.Is it possible we will see him this season?
