Prior to the start of this series against St. Louis, Pittsburgh had dropped nine straight games to the Red Birds dating back to last year. Sure, it isn’t the same dominating Cardinals team, but there is something to be said about a young, and obviously rebuilding team, coming into Busch Stadium and taking the firstContinue reading “Pirates Earn At Least A Series Split”

Pirates Take Advantage Of The Wounded Red Birds
The last time the Pirates faced off against the Cardinals in the middle of May, St. Louis was sitting pretty at 25-18, a top the NL Central by 3.5 games over the Cubs and having taken the last 11 games from their Divisional Opponents. Flash forward a little over a month and the same CardinalsContinue reading “Pirates Take Advantage Of The Wounded Red Birds”
Pirates Drop Second Game To The White Sox As I Return To PNC Park
Yesterday’s Pirates-White Sox matchup marked 1 year 8 months and 26 days since I walked into PNC Park to watch a baseball game; and understandably I didn’t know exactly how my mind was going to react to being back to a place, as well as a situation, I have experienced hundreds of times over theContinue reading “Pirates Drop Second Game To The White Sox As I Return To PNC Park”
Pirates Battle Back To Beat My Second Favorite Team In The First Of Two
Back in the day, when me and my friends had to crowd around the 19 inch TV in my bedroom to play video games, there was really only one rule-you couldn’t play against another person with a hometown team. This went for Tecmo Super Bowl, RBI Baseball 1 through 3 and eventually NHL 94 whenContinue reading “Pirates Battle Back To Beat My Second Favorite Team In The First Of Two”

Pirates Pounce In The Seventh For Their Second Straight Victory
The Pirates are clearly going through a rough patch. With the number one overall pick coming their way in less than a month from the disastrous 2020 season, a ten game losing streak barely in the rear view and a place in the bottom four of MLB reasonably secured; it is a tough time toContinue reading “Pirates Pounce In The Seventh For Their Second Straight Victory”
Pirates Barely Hold On To End Ten Game Losing Streak
The Pirates must have been tired of hearing about the fact that they had scored 4 or less runs during their current slide, as they put this discussion to rest by putting a 5 spot on the board in bottom of the first; capped off by an El Coffee bomb. A few innings later BryanContinue reading “Pirates Barely Hold On To End Ten Game Losing Streak”
The Pirates MLB Draft Conversation
Back in June of 2020, just days before the last MLB draft-held in the absence of a decision concerning how long the season would be, or if their would actually be a season at all-I began to see #TankForKumar trending on Twitter. As an avid College Baseball Fan-Let’s Go Eers!-, I obviously knew who KumarContinue reading “The Pirates MLB Draft Conversation”
Pirates Buried By A Nationals Early Bomb
Follow a couple of shaky starts to the season, free agent acquisition and likely flip candidate, Tyler Anderson hit his stride over the next five outings; lowering his ERA to 3.05, his WHIP to 1.04 and his average against to .209, as he pitched an eight inning gem against the Cubs to bring his recordContinue reading “Pirates Buried By A Nationals Early Bomb”
Pirates Swept Out Of Milwaukee
After the first two batters of the game for Milwaukee I was honestly felt deflated, and began to prepare myself for disappointing afternoon of baseball. A single by Luis Urias, followed by a rocket shot of a double by Daniel Vogelbach quickly put the Pirates in the hole 1 to 0; with the recently recalledContinue reading “Pirates Swept Out Of Milwaukee”
