Neil Walker’s second double of the game put the pot...

Not much has changed for Opening Week until this point for the Pittsburgh Pirates, as they find themselves three games under .500 at 6-9 and at the bottom half of the NL Central in fourth place.

Pittsburgh Pirates: 2012 Season Preview
Posted on 26 Mar 2012 by Drew Karpen.
Last year, the city of Pittsburgh got a glimpse of what meaningful baseball feels like in the second half of the season, for the first time in nearly two decades. The Pirates finished the first half of the season, with their eyes set on the NL Central title. All the players were never in this position before, and the youth was a main contributor to the downfall. With the 2012 season less than t...

Posted on 13 Mar 2012 by Drew Karpen.
Just last week the Pittsburgh Pirates offense looked like they were in mid-season form. That was not the case in yesterday’s 4-1 defeat to the Philadelphia Phillies. The Pirates were able to squeak out two hits in nine innings, including going 12 up and 12 down against Phillies starter, Vance Worley. The lone bright spot during the game for the Pirates was starter, Charlie Morton, making his ...

Pirates Fall to Phillies on Walk-Off Home Run
Posted on 8 Mar 2012 by Drew Karpen.
Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Michael Dubee was going to be a long shot to make the roster, but the outcome today did not help his slim hopes. Dubee came on to pitch the tenth inning, which was most likely going to be the last inning no matter what. Luis Montanez was the first batter scheduled to face Dubee, and was also the last. Montanez hit a walk-off home run off of Dubee to propel the Philli...

Alvarez, Jones, Marte Homer in Pirates Loss to Jays
Posted on 7 Mar 2012 by Drew Karpen.
For the third time this spring the Pittsburgh Pirates felt defeat to the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays. The real story was how the key pieces of the future progressed. Even in an 8-6 loss, it still felt like a win. One of the bigger stories for the 2012 campaign was how highly-touted third basemen, Pedro Alvarez, will improve his game. Even though it was only one game, the Pirates had to have ...

Posted on 6 Mar 2012 by Drew Karpen.
Like most teams, The Pittsburgh Pirates looked rusty in their first two spring training games. It takes some time for players to find their rhythm and get acquainted with live action.

In the first two games of the spring, the Pirates got off to a slow start, allowing their opponents to ju...

Pirates Ink McCutchen to Long-Term Deal
Posted on 5 Mar 2012 by Drew Karpen.
It has been known that in recent history the Pittsburgh Pirates have been shy when it comes to dishing out money. Is it fair to continue to give them that label? During last year’s draft, team owner Bob Nutting, team president Frank Coonelly and General Manager Neal Huntington dished out roughly $17 million, to first and second round draft picks Gerrit Cole and Josh Bell. During the latter pa...
