Is it fair to suggest that someone's being, what's the term, quietly efficient, when they're just getting on base all the time. Morning to you. Good.

Tuesday morning.

I'm Dan Kovachovich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports.

This is Daily Shot of Pirates presented by our friends at the North Shore Tavern, home of steak on a stone.

Hope everyone had a terrific Memorial Day weekend.

Pirates 2, Cubs 1 on Memorial Day itself at PNC Park.

Carmen Maginsky gave up a run despite five hits and three walks over his five innings.

Nonetheless, got out of the jams, got the result.

Wilbur Dotel, who really should have been up here all this time, not to pound that point further, three scoreless innings, one hit,

than what the results have shown, particularly in this month. Yeah, I think obviously there's certain things in your control and then out of your control, right, as a hitter. And, you know, for me, coming into the year, I wanted to hit the ball harder. I wanted to strike out less, take more walks. And I felt like I didn't necessarily do that the first month. It was a little bit better. But this month just, you know, quality of contact, taking walks, not striking out a lot.

And, you know, hitting the ball harder and, you know, barrel rate, et cetera.

Just hasn't turned into results necessarily.

Hit some balls well.

They've been caught.

But just, you know, keep my head down and work as hard as I can every day. But what I'm talking about someone doing quietly well,
