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. It looks like the Pirates shook off the rust last night with their 10-3 onslaught of the Baltimore Orioles. In the first two games of the spring, the Pirates got off to a slow start, allowing their opponents to ju...

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...

Posted on 1 Aug 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
The Pirates found themselves in unfamiliar territory as the July 31st trade deadline approached. In years past, as a matter of fact 18 years past, the Pirates found themselves on the losing end of .500 and were constantly the sellers.

Posted on 25 Jul 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
I don't believe there is such a thing as a must win game in July, but the Pirates were faced in as close to that situation as you can get on Sunday afternoon. After losing the first two games of their weekend series against the Cardinals, the Pirates found a way to win Sunday's game against the Cardinals in extra innings. With the Pirates win and the Brewers lost, there is now a three-way t...

Indians Sweep Pirates
Posted on 20 Jun 2011 by Justin Welton.
In a game that featured one of the worst lineups I have seen from a team playing with a designated hitter, the Pirates lost 5-2 to the Indians in the finale of a three-game series. The series saw the Pirates score a total of four runs in three losses. Clint Hurdle gave Jose Tabata the day off while placing Andrew McCutchen as DH. He also gave Brandon Wood the start at third base instead of Josh...

MLB Draft: Pirates Select Gerrit Cole #1 Overall
Posted on 6 Jun 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
Usually with the MLB Draft, there is a consensus number one player. The past two years, the Washington Nationals selected Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper, respectively. Last season, it looked as if Rice third baseman Anthony Rendon would be the first overall selection in the 2011 draft. However, Rendon suffered a shoulder injury that scared off some teams. Going into the draft, the P...
