## Resource

Alex Stumpf breaks down why Endy Rodriguez looks like the Pirates’ long-term answer at catcher, from his simpler swing and improved approach to the confidence Pittsburgh showed by trading Joey Bart. He also discusses Braxton Ashcraft’s dominant start and the decision to use Carmen Mlodzinski for three innings in a blowout.
