Pirates start the season with a W, takeaways from the 6-5 victory

Hour 1 with Dorin Dickerson and Adam Crowley: Oneil Cruz is a superstar. His home run to left field was unreal and such easy power. He tied the game with one swing in the 8th. He can be THE DUDE this season and a top 5 player in all of baseball. Mitch Keller wasn't good and didn't have is A stuff. Keller gave up four in his debut last season. Derek Shelton did a good job managing the Pirates bullpen yesterday. Luis Ortiz and Jose Hernandez were really good. The number of ground balls Ortiz got was impressive. The bullpen is deep and missing Colin Holderman and Carmen Mlodzinski. Crowley didn't like the lineup the Pirates put on the field for Opening Day. Andrew McCutchen wasn't good batting cleanup, yes one game, but he's 37 and more young players with power potential. If we were Greg Brown, these would be our creative home runs calls...
