Why does starter Martin Perez remind Jason of former Pirates Francisco Cervelli and Francisco Liriano? Does Edward Olivares deserve playing time over Jack Suwinski? Should Aroldis Chapman get a look at closer if Bednar continues to struggle? And on the hockey front, when should Penguins coach Mike Sullivan look to get Tristan Jarry a start over Alex Nedeljkovic?
