Pittsburgh Pirates Struggle Against Divisional Opponents
Posted on 7 May 2012 by Drew Karpen.
Up until this week, the Pittsburgh Pirates were the only team in the majors to not score more than five runs in a game. That streak ended on Monday, April 30, in Pittsburgh’s series finale against the Atlanta Braves. The offense exploded for nine runs on their way to splitting the four game series, with a 9-3 victory. Pittsburgh, hoping their outburst would carry over to St. Louis, was ge...

Pirates Struggle to Find Offense in Loss To Phillies
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 ...

Series Loss to Pirates Highlights Issues
Posted on 1 Jul 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened The Blue Jays (40-42) have inched past the season’s half-way point with more questions than answers, many of which were brought to light as they lost two of three at home to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The status of the rotation became a hot-button issue once again (Jo-Jo Reyes and Brett Cecil were knocked around), as did the team’s defence. The highlights included a Brandon Morro...

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...

Pirates: Has Neal Huntington Overstayed His Welcome?
Posted on 19 May 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
When evaluating a trade in baseball, there needs to be a waiting period of about three years before deciding which team got the better deal. In the case of the Pirates trading Jose Bautista to the Toronto Blue Jays, I think it's fair to say which team got the better deal. On August 21, 2008, Bautista was traded from the Pirates to the Blue Jays for a player to be named later, which ended up...

Pirates .500 After Weekend Series With Astros
Posted on 8 May 2011 by Justin Welton.
What does .500 generally mean for any sports club? The answer is mediocrity. To the fans of the Pittsburgh Pirates, though, it means much more. The Pirates haven’t been .500 since 1992, coincidentally the final year of the Barry Bonds era in Pittsburgh. As of today, the Pirates are 17-17 after taking two-of-three from the bottom feeding Houston Astros. They received three quality starts from ...

Charlie Morton, Pirates Defeat Astros 6-1
Posted on 7 May 2011 by Justin Welton.
Remember when people around the Pittsburgh area wanted to forget about this guy named Charlie Morton? Remember when people complained about Huntington getting rid of OF Nate McLouth? It turns out, although just maybe, that Huntington has found a gem of a starter. I don’t blame anybody for being worried about Morton’s future. Defending him was easy for me because of how lethal his stuff is. ...

Pirates: The Official Pittsburgh Pirates Preview
Posted on 30 Mar 2011 by Michael Waterloo.

Pitt basketball, the reigning Big East regular-season champions. Then, you have the Pirates. With 18 consecutive losing seasons, the Pirates are out of place with these other teams, and often out of mind amids...

Pirates Announce Rotation, Lineup
Posted on 27 Mar 2011 by Justin Welton.
The Pirates announced the starting rotation and lineup for opening day this past week. The starting rotation looks like this: Kevin Correia Paul Maholm Ross Ohlendorf Charlie Morton James McDonald I don’t know too many people who are willing to say that this rotation is close to average but there is some potential. Maholm could finally breakout and have a good season. Ohlendorf had a horrib...

Pitching Wins Or In The Pirates Case Will Lose Games
Posted on 27 Mar 2011 by Justin Welton.
Who is the one guy you can count on when he steps on the mound? Paul Maholm? Kevin Correia? Please don’t give me James McDonald. The answer is nobody. Maholm is probably the most consistent pitcher the Pirates will put on the mound this season but that isn’t saying much. Correia was 10-10 on a team that plays in one of the biggest ballparks in the MLB and was contending for a playoff spot. ...

Pirates pitching woes go back decades
Posted on 13 Oct 2010 by Jim Keller.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have many areas to seek improvement, but there biggest need is starting pitching. Will the Pirates get any return at all from the hoards of pitchers GM Neal Huntington has brought to the ‘Burgh over the last few seasons? Will Rudy Owens or Jeff Locke be able to help next season, and how long will it take fire-balling 2010 draftees James Taillon and Allie Ste...
