Pirates Option Alex Presley, Call Up Evan Meek
The Pirates have announced that they optioned Alex Presley to AAA Indy and brought up Evan Meek. The bullpen has been throwing a lot of innings as of late so this move is probably somewhat temporary. They aren’t going to go with that short a bench for too long, so another bat is going to [...]
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Washington Nationals – Game 37
#Correia4Bullpen No rest for your Buccos. They obviously slept with whoever makes the schedules significant other. No rest traveling from Pittsburgh to Florida to Washington to Detroit back to Pittsburgh? Seems fair on top of the hardest schedule in baseball. You know how I feel about fairness though. First Pitch: 7:05 PM EST Where to [...]
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Miami Marlins – Game 36
A nice start from Brad Lincoln and some timely hitting combined for a big win in the first game of a short series on the road. If Lincoln just could add an average changeup I would feel really good about him in the rotation. Until then I’m just cautiously optimistic. How about a hand [...]
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Miami Marlins – Game 35
If you had Clint Barmes and Josh Harrison combining to end that game I don’t believe you. I think you’re a pathological liar and I really don’t feel like speaking to you. Now the Pirates have a really odd road trip, with no days off. Miami, Washington, Detroit? Whatever….. First Pitch: 7:10 PM EST Where [...]
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Houston Astros – Game 34
That took a bit of the sting off of the previous loss. Pirates need the rubber game though. Do the Pirates even have a Sunday lineup? First Pitch: 1:35 PM EST Where to Watch: Root Sports, MLB.TV, FS-H Wandy Rodriguez, LHP (33) Can we please make something very clear right off the top. Wandy [...]
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Houston Astros – Game 33
Hey Nate McLouth…. That guy is awful. He should be cut, tomorrow. I’m not sure why “The Color Purple” himself Clint Hurdle has him batting second. I don’t want it to seem like it’s only Nate’s fault. It definitely isn’t. But he is so bad. The Pirates acquired Jeff Larish… If he is anything more [...]
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Houston Astros – Game 32
Can’t win em all I guess. First Pitch: 7:05 Where To Watch: Root Sports, MLB.TV, FS-H Bud Norris, RHP (27) Astros? Bud? It seems like the Pirates are playing against the SPCA. Thankfully that isn’t his real name. His real name is David. Not sure where bud came from so I’ll just assume [...]
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Washington Nationals – Game 31
First off let me just end my condolences to Joel Hanrahan on the loss of his grandmother. Last night was exactly the type of game I wouldn’t expect the Pirates to win. Usually. Even though I was worried about Bedard though for some reason it just seemed like the Pirates would pull it out. Probably [...]
