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...

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...

Pittsburgh Pirates Split Series Against Diamondbacks and Cardinals
Posted on 23 Apr 2012 by Drew Karpen.
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. The two constants for the Pirates throughout the first two weekends of the year has been their stellar pitching performance and their lack of offense. Pittsburgh has the fourth best team ERA in the ma...

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...

Hanrahan Named To All-Stars, Correia and McCutchen Snubbed
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...

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 Set For Seven Game Road Swing
Posted on 13 May 2011 by Justin Welton.
For the first time since 2005, the Pittsburgh Pirates were .500 on Mother’s Day. This feeling didn’t last long, unfortunately. The Pirates dropped two-of-three from the Los Angeles Dodgers at PNC Park. The final game was postponed due to rain on Thursday. Possibly a bigger story than the Pirates reaching .500 was the fact that star centerfielder Andrew McCutchen didn’t run after being str...

Lucroy Returns As Brewers Win Again
Posted on 13 Apr 2011 by Scott Johnston.
Welcome back Jonathan Lucroy! The Brewers catcher broke his pinkie finger way back in February and made his season debut tonight in Pittsburgh. In a scoreless tie in the top of the 6th inning, Lucroy led off with a double and scored he game’s first run on a Carlos Gomez sacrifice fly. Two batters later, Prince Fielder hit a 3-run homer, and the scoreless duel between Shawn Marcum and the Pira...

Posted on 30 Mar 2011 by Michael Waterloo.

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. ...
