Series Preview: Orioles (4-2) at Pirates (6-1)

The Pirates are 6-1, there’s no taking that away from them, but there’s no escaping the Marlins and Nationals aren’t in a good place currently too. Baltimore is a much better test for this young team and while it’s too early for all that measuring stick stuff, there’s no denying the O’s will be a much tougher test.

Series Preview: Pirates (0-0) at Marlins (0-0)

The Pirates open the season in Miami against the Marlins for the first time in 18 years. The Fish are coming off a playoff season after finishing 84-78 but their pitching staff, which was formerly a strength, has been decimated by injuries.

Will Henry Davis Make the Team?

The Pirates made a statement way back at the beginning of Spring, maybe a clumsy statement, maybe even stupid about Yasmani Grandal making the team and the Pirates having a competition for the second spot.
