    E-stros help Bucs walk it off

    May 18, 2013 1

    Maybe a win against the Astros should have been easier and faster, but in the end the Astros handed it over.  An error allowed the Pirates to win, 5-4.  It was a weird game all around, one that saw Brandon Inge play 1st base and a homerun into the river. Jeanmar Gomez started for the…

  • Number 22 gives Pirates win number 22

    Number 22 gives Pirates win number 22

    May 15, 2013 Respond

    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…

  • Pirates drop messy game to Brewers

    May 14, 2013 1

    The Pirates seem to often have trouble with the Milwaukee Brewers.  Tonight was no different.  The Pirates made 3 errors and only scored 1 run in a 5-1 loss to Marco Estrada and the hated Brewers. AJ Burnett wasn’t his sharpest today.  He let the Brewers take a 1-0 lead in the 1st inning with…

  • Pirates Likely To Option SS Jordy Mercer To AAA

    May 12, 2013 2

    Some things defy logic.  This is a common theme in regards to most moves the Pittsburgh Pirates make.  Neal Huntington is currently on the radio doing his best PR, huckster, spin on why the team is sending down Jordy Mercer when Neil Walker comes off the DL on Monday.   Rumbunter generally tweets out the…

  • Pittsburgh Pirates vs. New York Mets – Game 36

    May 11, 2013 Respond

    A slew of roster moves coming? First things first Francisco Liriano is going to make his debut.  To clear his spot the Pirates sent Duke Welker back to AAA.  Welker didn’t pitch at all for the Pirates.  Despite being up by five runs last night the Pirates used three bullpen arms, potentially making one unavailable…

  • Pirates Finally DL Neil Walker, Recall Jordy Mercer

    May 3, 2013 3

    Jordy Mercer has finally made his way to Pittsburgh.  No telling if he will play or not but he’s here. He is taking the place of Neil Walker who the Pirates didn’t put on the DL after CUTTING HIS HAND TO THE BONE. This move is retroactive to 4/27.  That means the Pirates played with…

  • A Night of Ingejustice in St. Louis

    April 27, 2013 Respond

    Jonathan Sanchez lasted, well, not an inning.  He didn’t even manage to get an out.  The Pirates found themselves in an early hole that only grew deeper as they were unable to climb out of it. Jonathan Sanchez started tonight’s game.  He gave up a leadoff homerun to Matt Carpenter.  Then he gave up a…

  • Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Philadelphia Phillies – Game 22

    April 25, 2013 Respond

    Another day, another series not lose.  The boys can win themselves another this afternoon.  Impressive. Mark Melancon is on pace to pitch 100 innings.  Gold. Jason Grilli leads the league in saves. Brandon Inge has put two good games together in a row.  That’s three more games than I figured he’d put together in a row. Really,…
