Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Philadelphia Phillies – Game 21
As you’re well aware Brandon Inge has been called up! He was actually pretty good in his debut, despite whatever the hell he is doing over there <—-. In case you missed it the Pirates were featured on Jeopardy A good day for Inge, but more importantly a good day for Jeff Locke. His strongest outing of…

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Philadelphia Phillies – Game 20
That could have actually been a lot worse. A.J. Burnett was really bad. He somehow managed to get out of some jams. A passed by and a HBP scored two runs. How often do you see that in the same game? There was literally no excuse for last night’s performance. It’s the story of this…

Roster Watch: Jeff Locke
Jeff Locke is an interesting case for me. This is a guy that really hasn’t been great at the minor league level outside of a few season and has been pretty putrid at the MLB level as well. Year Tm Lev W L ERA G GS IP WHIP H/9 HR/9 BB/9 SO/9 SO/BB 2006 Braves…

Roster Watch: Jeff Karstens
I’m actually getting kind of tired of writing about Jeff Karstens. Yes, he’s one of my favorite Pirates. Yes, this whole Karstens drama was blown way out of proportion. Yes, he is unreliable. I get all of that. Guess what though? I said I’d cover every player that was on the roster last year and…
