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…

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. San Francisco Giants – Game 66
Another day another series win. Ho hum. Nothing new in Pirateland. Pedro has a higher average than Inge. @shamtown — TailgatePittsburgh (@Tailgate_Burgh) June 13, 2013 Seems like a kind of odd thing to highlight, right? A few weeks back I asked when Pedro Alvarez would surpass Brandon Inge in batting average. What surprised me…

Late post today. Sorry I was fishing, gotta problem with that, bub? That’s the great thing about blogging. Such fluid deadlines. Another great thing about blogging is that I can interject any personal feelings I want to into my posts. I can mention whatever I want. I say that because there is no witty segue…

E-stros help Bucs walk it off
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…

What Happens When You Compliment Clint Hurdle
Earlier today I gave Clint Hurdle a ton of props for his bullpen usage against the Brewers. The Pirates really managed the bullpen well last night. — Rich (@shamtown) May 15, 2013 I’d imagine the only unavailable pitcher last night would be Morris. — Rich (@shamtown) May 15, 2013 Hurdle will only get backhanded…
