Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Los Angeles Dodgers – Game 68
It was basically the Jeff Locke and Andrew McCutchen show last night. Locke with one of the better pitching performances we’ve seen from a Pirate, Cutch playing a role in all three runs. Clint Hurdle tried his best to take a clothes hanger to it but Mark Melancon and Jason Grilli were able to work…

Locked in and Cutched out
Jeff Locke delivered another dominant start, and Andrew McCutchen had a role in all three Pirates runs in tonight’s 3-0 win over the Dodgers. What else is there to say about Jeff Locke? He simply shut down the opposing team’s lineup, as he’s done so often this season. He needed just 75 pitches to get…

Pedro bombs Miller Park twice as Bucs take game two
The Pirates must have listened to my recap and pretended they weren’t in Miller Park today. Or maybe they forgot they were in Miller Park. It’d be difficult to find another explanation for today’s 5-2 win, backed by two Pedro Alvarez homeruns and a stellar start by Jeff Locke. The Pirates jumped on Brewers starter…

Number 22 gives Pirates win number 22
Last night, everything went the Brewers’ way. Tonight, the Pirates caught their share of breaks and did what they needed to get to the 12th inning and win, 4-3, on Andrew McCutchen’s walkoff homerun. The win was the Pirates’ 22nd of the year; it’s fitting that number 22 won the game. Early on, tonight’s game…

Pedro’s hot bat not enough as Bucs fall to Mets
Pedro Alvarez drove in 2 runs for the Pirates tonight, but it wasn’t enough as they dropped game one of the four-game series with the Mets, 3-2. After a combined hitless inning and a half by both starting pitchers, Jeff Locke got himself into some trouble in the 2nd inning. John Buck singled to start…

Red Sox To Designate Holt For Assignment
EDIT: THE RED SOX HAVE APPARENTLY DECIDED TO PUT JOEL HANRAHAN ON THE 60 DAY DL. Can you literally already close the book on the Joel Hanrahan trade? Mark Melancon has already been the superior pitcher. Stolmy Pimentel is smoking AA and now it’s being reported that the Red Sox are going to DFA…

Clint Hurdle is drunk
A 5-4 loss to the Washington Nationals. I can normally deal with that. Stephen Strasburg pitched for the Nats. They are supposed to be one of the best teams in the NL. The bullpen was horribly mismanaged in the loss but that is to be expected. Clint Hurdle has done this before. Even then, I…

Pirates Designate Jonathan Sanchez For Assignment
Another failed Neal Huntington love story. He likes to go on expensive dates as Jonathan Sanchez will end up costing the Pittsburgh Pirates $1.375 million. No small amount when added into the total he has wasted on no talent, washed up, garbage. To take his spot in the bullpen the Pirates have called up Bryan…
