Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles and sports columnist Jason Mackey react to the breaking news that manager Derek Shelton was fired Thursday. Why was Shelton relieved of his duties now, and what led up to it? What does this mean for the team going forward under Don Kelly, who was named manager in Shelton's stead? Is Kelly the long-term choice in the dugout? Is general manager Ben Cherington also on the hot seat? And why could Shelton never get the Pirates over the hump? Our duo answers those questions and more.
