I would be lying if I told you I wasn’t a little bit excited by the Pirates jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the 1st, however, at that point my mind was pretty much fixated on how Mitch Keller would begin the game. Over his previous three outings he had fluctuatedContinue reading “Pirates Take The Series In Detroit On A Solid Start From Keller”

Through The Prospect Porthole: Multiple Moves Made Ahead Of Yesterday’s Doubleheader
After beginning the season batting .083 with 16 strikeouts in only 24 at bats, the opening day starting centerfielder Anthony Alford was regularly discussed as a potential DFA candidate; and this morning, prior to the Pirates first game of a doubleheader in Detroit, the seemingly inevitable finally happened. However, this move did not take placeContinue reading “Through The Prospect Porthole: Multiple Moves Made Ahead Of Yesterday’s Doubleheader”
The Pirates Dilemma Of Trade Pieces Versus Potential Core Players
During the beginning of this most recent off-season I said that I would be fine with, not that I wanted, the Pirates to look at trading homegrown, face of the franchise and starting first baseman Josh Bell. At the time, the reasons behind this thought were due to the DH possibly not finding its wayContinue reading “The Pirates Dilemma Of Trade Pieces Versus Potential Core Players”
Cahill’s Rough Start Ends In 7-1 Loss To The Brew Crew
After a enjoyable and relaxing Friday night for Pirates Fans, where it seemed like their team couldn’t do anything wrong, tonight’s game was a quick drop back into the reality of what it’s like to cheer for a rebuilding ball club.

The Revolving Door Of Roster Projections and Suggestions
For anyone that has seen the movie Elf with Will Ferrell, you will probably recall the scene where he runs around in the revolving doors, comes out to the trash can, throws up and proceeds to go right back for more. If you haven’t, you can probably just imagine the times you have gone inContinue reading “The Revolving Door Of Roster Projections and Suggestions”
Pirates Fall As Keller Gets Tagged By The Padres
Following an effective and efficient outing by Mitch Keller on Saturday, Pirates Fans were looking for much of the same from the young right-handed starter this afternoon. Unfortunately these hopes were quickly washed away by a flood of hard contact from the San Diego Padres from the words play ball. After five hits, that includedContinue reading “Pirates Fall As Keller Gets Tagged By The Padres”
Pirates Outlast The Padres
In a first inning pitcher’s duel Chad Kuhl prevailed by only allowing two runs, on a leadoff home run and a bases loaded walk; while Blake Snell was chased by the Pirates thanks to some two out magic from back to back doubles off the bats of Jacob Stallings and Erik Gonzalez. Unfortunately he wasn’tContinue reading “Pirates Outlast The Padres”
Brubaker Gets It Done On The Mound And With The Bat
Each time the Pirates play I hope for a win, but that feeling was even stronger for today’s game; partially because an old friend Trevor Williams was on the mound-if you listened to a second of my podcast Bucs In The Basement last season you know my feelings on him as a pitcher-but mostly becauseContinue reading “Brubaker Gets It Done On The Mound And With The Bat”
The MLB Draft Isn’t Until July 11th
Over the past few weeks, days and months I have realized a couple of things; social media is mostly one big giant misperception when it comes to the 2021 MLB Amateur Draft and the majority of people commenting have never watched a college baseball game in their entire lives. People regularly see a 30 secondContinue reading “The MLB Draft Isn’t Until July 11th”
A Disappointing Pirates Return To PNC
There are only three things in life that have become near certainties; death, taxes and a Pirates pitcher giving up a homer in the opening frame. Keeping in line with this train of thought, Tyler Anderson served up a dead center dinger in the top of the first to Kris Bryant; giving the Cubbies aContinue reading “A Disappointing Pirates Return To PNC”
