Pirates Lose, McCutchen Bright Future
Posted on 27 Jun 2012 by Emily Gruver.
The Pittsburgh Pirates lost another tough one last night to the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-4. Although Andrew McCutchen had an excellent performance, Chooch and the Phillies were just too much to handle last night. There is no doubt in my mind that McCutchen has a very bright future ahead of him. He went 2 for 4 last night in the loss and helped his team out as much as he could. Andrew is only...

Carlos Gonzalez: Five Tool Superstar
Posted on 5 Jun 2012 by Steve Folsom.
Carlos Gonzalez made history between Wednesday and Thursday last week when he hit a home run in four consecutive at bats. Several others have done this in Major League history, but never in Colorado Rockies history. His next official at bat, after an intentional walk, was only a double (if you have him in your fantasy leagues you might as well trade him because clearly he isn't hitting home r...

David Wright goes cold as Mets squeeze by Pirates
Posted on 22 May 2012 by Aryn Ouellette.
Tuesday night's game between the New York Mets and Pittsburgh Pirates wasn't kind to third basemen, David Wright. Wright, who has been on fire since the season has begun, went 0-4, with three strike outs in the Mets win. Scoring started in the second inning when Mets catcher, Mike Nickeas singled, scoring Daniel Murphy. Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen, who went 2-4, tied the game up...

One Night At Mccutchen’s
Posted on 19 May 2012 by Jeremy Klumpp.
The Pittsburgh Pirates only needed to two swings of the bat from Andrew Mccutchen to beat the Tigers today 4-3 at Comerica Park. A two-run home run in the first inning, and another in the fifth, both off of Tigers starter Drew Smyly (1-1), led the way for the Pirates offense. They were the sixth and seventh home runs of the season for Mccutchen. Smyly lasted only 4 2/3 innings this afternoon g...

Pittsburgh Pirates Ride Walk-Off Wins to Series Victories Over Nationals and Astros
Posted on 14 May 2012 by Drew Karpen.
Fans began to slowly trickle out of the stadium on the rainy and gloomy Mother’s Day game between the Houston Astros and Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park yesterday, with little to cheer about. The Pirates offense looked like they were going to waste another spectacular start by starter A.J. Burnett, trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the ninth. Neil Walker’s second double of the game put the pot...

Pittsburgh Pirates Remain In Fourth Place in NL Central
Posted on 30 Apr 2012 by Drew Karpen.
Not much has changed from last week to this week in the Pirates season. After going 3-3 over their last 6 games, Pittsburgh remains in fourth place in the National League Central, only a half a game behind the Milwaukee Brewers for third. The week got off to a rainy start, when their opening game in a three game series against the Colorado Rockies was postponed and scheduled as part of a doub...

Pirates Outslug Bronx Bombers
Posted on 6 Mar 2012 by Drew Karpen.
I understand that it is only spring training, but the last two games for the Pirates have shown some promise for the upcoming year. Fresh off their 10-3 victory the night before, the Pirates continued their offensive surge against the Yankees today in Bradenton with a 7-4 victory. Jose Tabata, Clint Barmes, Neil Walker, and Andrew McCutchen were the projected opening day starters that were in a...

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...

Bucs Drop Second Straight Against Jays
Posted on 4 Mar 2012 by Drew Karpen.
For the second time in as many days, the Pittsburgh Pirates fell to the Toronto Blue Jays. After taking a 7-1 defeat yesterday, the Buccos returned to Bradenton, only to fall 8-5. One good thing is that it is only Spring Training and these games gives the players and team as a whole an idea on what they need to improve before the games start to count. For the second straight start, a Pirate pit...

Posted on 3 Jul 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
At noon today, the rosters for the All-Star game were released and fans everywhere tuned in to see who would represent their squad. As one of the surprise teams in the league this season, the Pirates and their fans were hoping to be well represented at the game. Joel Hanrahan, Andrew McCutchen, Kevin Correia and to a lesser extent, Neil Walker and Jeff Karstens, all deserved consideration 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...
