Do the Pirates need to add a starter at the deadline? Their starting pitching depth is the reason they are in 1st place and own the best record in baseball. But, now that it is possible both James McDonald and Wandy Rodriguez could be done for the season, that depth is depleted. Yes, they still … Continue reading
WOW! What a game! That was one roller coaster of a game! If the Bucs had lost, it would have been a heart breaker. As it stands, I think it vaults them to take over the division and not look back. The truth is, the Cardinals have been playing over their heads. Seriously. They are … Continue reading
There will be no collapse this year. This Pirates team is very good. They are brimming with confidence. It is palpable. I sincerely believe they might be the best team in baseball right now. Seriously. As fans who’ve had to endure 20 years of yuck, and two straight seasons of hopes crashing and burning, we … Continue reading
The Pirates stand with one of the best records in baseball near the middle of June, and only have one starter active in the rotation from the start of the season – and it is Jeff Locke. The season started with AJ Burnett, Wandy Rodriguez, James McDonald, Jonathan Sanchez, and Jeff Locke. Now with Burnett, … Continue reading
I’m actually excited for inter-league play. Normally I dread this time of year and pray we can get through without totally getting bombed. Always before because we had pitchers who soft-tossed and nibbled which AL clubs tend to eat up. And, because we always seemed to play a man down with some scrub getting a … Continue reading
After moving two weeks ago and being in Cabo San Lucas last week, I’m finally able to get back into a routine. I recorded Saturday’s game and the Penguins game last night, but actually missed the final three minutes of the Pens as the recording stopped. Nothing more exciting than OT Playoff Hockey, especially in … Continue reading
Playing the Brewers always drives me to drinking… Why is it that it seems every time we play them we resort to the Bad News Bears. I knew tonight would be a challenging game Yovani Gallardo taking the mound for the Brew Crew, but I thought with Wandy Rodriguez starting for the Bucs, that it … Continue reading
I just want to say that the ejection of Jonathan Sanchez was crap. We would have lost that game, no doubt. And we were more competitive likely with him gone from the game. And I know he is not long for the Buccos’ world. The guy has a history of control issues, but to eject … Continue reading
It is so frustrating to see the Bucs strike out three consecutive times looking at strike three with a runner in scoring position. Although, that 3rd strike to Andrew McCutchen was way outside. Not even sure it was close enough to warrant a swing to protect the plate, regardless of what the ump thought. … Continue reading
Gutty performance by Jeff Locke getting through six innings. The best we could hope for. Mark Melancon’s arm is going to fall off. Not sure who I would have put in for the 8th, but it just seems he needs to get more of a rest. I wonder how long it takes for Travis … Continue reading
