I assume the next time he pitches will be in PNC. I'd love to be there for that game. I bet PNC tops 25,000 easy that night. Probably next Thursday, which is a day game. That series and particular game is tradionally a school outing thing, so it will be a bigger crowd than normal for a Thursday day...

TellezTubby has 4 extra base hits in 120 PA's, Triolo has 3 in 161. Alika Williams has 3 in 59 PA's. TellezTubby has 25 total bases. Alika Williams has 18. Remember when we all bashed Williams? It's so funny, he's outplayed both Triolo and Tellez, yet he's the one riding the pine most of the time. A...

Someone mentioned this the other day. There are currently 166 players who are qualified hitters in MLB. TellezTubby is 19 PA's shy of qualifying. However, if you place him on the list and make it 167, the Pirates lineup today would have 158, 163, and 166 in batting average in MLB. Yes, yes, I know B...

Let's Go Bucs!!!!

TellezTubby, Suwingandamisski, and Triolo all in the lineup together. WTF, did Olivares give Shelton the hot foot yesterday?

Surge, you say you can see "how close" they are, but I'm not so sure. Teams that win have star players in the line-up. This team has none, and I don't see anyone among the young players who's going to be one. Cruz has the chance to be a star because of his physical attributes but I don't ...

I was just looking at numbers, and it's astonishing to see that the offense has gotten remarkably worse this season, 3.73 runs per game, compared to last year at 4.27 runs per game. That's an astonishing drop considering this year's lineup was supposed to be much better, much more seasoned, and read...

Chapman-Holderman-Bednar come through the way we expect.Holderman did hit a guy and walk a guy, and a throwing error allowed a runner to third who scores on a sac fly. But Holderman shut them down. Chapman was the Chapman of old, as was Bednar. I will say, I keep looking for signs this team is comin...

When your number nine hitter leads off with a hit, you almost feel it's like a double. Got to bring that gift around

Alika Williams with a single. I seem to recall someone in this thread posting about letting Williams hit instead of giving up an out
