Playoff Push Belies MLB Grind
Posted on 29 Jul 2012 by Steven Keys.
The ‘dog days’ of summer have arrived. The genesis of that phrase? I haven’t a clue. To tell ya’ the truth, sometimes I just don’t want to know the answer. Call it Information Age burn-out. Suffice to say, ‘dog days’ feels apropos come late July. It’s that time in baseball when the pep & vigor of spring has vanished like a cool summer breeze. Players, managers and umpires st...

From The Strecth: Lincecum Spoils Again, What’s Next?
Posted on 8 Jul 2012 by Connor Callaghan.
Once again Tim Lincecum is out early. The two-time Cy Young winner can't make it out of the 4th after giving up six earned runs in 3.1 innings. He also left the bases loaded for his replacement, Clay Hensley, with only one out. The final straw came when Lincecum allowed an RBI single to the Pirates pitcher A.J. Burnett with the bases loaded to make it 4-0 Pirates. The game is now 13-2 heading i...

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...

Posted on 12 Jun 2012 by Brendan Keelan.

Mad Max 15
Posted on 21 May 2012 by Jeremy Klumpp.
Tigers starter Max Scherzer's (3-3) 15 strikeouts fell one strikeout shy of tying Mickey Lolich's team record set back in 1969. Lolich struck-out 16 batters twice that season, and struck out 15 against the Boston Red Sox in 1972, the last Tiger pitcher to reach that mark. Carried by Scherzer's arm the Tigers won their first interleague series of the season over the Pittsburgh Pirates with a 4-3...

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...

Destroy All Pirates!
Posted on 19 May 2012 by Jeremy Klumpp.
Heading into a May 7th game against the Toronto Blue Jays last season the Tigers were 15-18, and seven games behind the Central Division leading Cleveland Indians. According to fans the team was hitting poorly, needed leadership, and new management. Enter Justin Verlander. The ace walked to the mound at the Rogers Centre, threw 108 pitches, struck out four, and finished with the second no-hitt...

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 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...

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...
