OnlyBucs

I have a question. The Bucs have a First Baseman ( Lamb) who is leading the AAA in hitting. What does a guy have to do to be brought up. Is he on the Roster? Lamb isn't on the 40-man roster but if he was recalled, Tellez would be moved and that opens a spot. There's no good reason why that hasn't h...

That's the difference between a team that's trying to win and a team that's trying to maximize profits. Topnotch slugging 1Bmen are very expensive and that eliminates them from consideration. So there's a model that Cherington looks for in first basemen. And it has to be a model that is not in high...

this is hindsight on my part, but I have to wonder why the Bucs thought Tellez was worth signing? There were other first baseman available but the Bucs acted like they wanted him. The Brewers had no problem letting him move on. That's the difference between a team that's trying to win and a team th...

Zip, zap, kazoo. The Pirates played like poo.

At least Cutch is awake (3 hits, HR).

Another Brewer HR!. 9-1.

Kevin young is so upset, he said, "you just don't have any words."

This is the 3rd poor start in a row for Perez. And 5 of his last 6 have not been very good. I think it's concerning because last year he started out pitching well for Texas but was moved to the bullpen in August after struggling consistently in July.

2nd time Taylor bats with 2 on base. He does nothing either time. The guy is just not a hitter. And the Pirates can't afford the luxury of a defense-only outfielder.

A McCutchen (R) DH
B Reynolds (S) LF
C Joe (R) 1B
O Cruz (L) SS
E Olivares (R) RF

J Bart (R) C
M Taylor (R) CF

W Contreras (R) DH
W Adames (R) SS
J Ortiz (R) 2B
G Sánchez (R) C
B Perkins (S) CF
A Monasterio (R) 3B
O Miller (R) 1B
J Chourio (R) LF
S Frelick (L) RF

Cherington seems to like those low BA, HR power guys. He's got 3: Suwinski, Tellez and Taylor. They're providing the countless outs and rare hits and not even the HRs (total of 5 between the 3 of them). The Pirates' biggest need now is players who can provide consistent hitting. Bae, Lamb and Peguer...
