THE SETUP

If anyone thinks it gets lower than the Pirates' standing in the National League, welcome to the desert. Derek Shelton will be available at 7:15 p.m. Eastern, after which I'll be at field level for batting practice and one-on-one interviews. I've got you covered here in Arizona, and DK will pick up the rest of the trip in San Francisco.
