As far as the next 26 games are concerned I think the Pirates need to go something like 14-12, 15-11 or 16-10 to legitimately remain in contention approaching the trade deadline. 16-10 puts you at 52-50, 15-11 puts you right at .500 at 51-51, and 14-12 puts you 50-52 and 2 games under .500. There would be 60 games remaining after this stretch and if the Pirates can play anywhere around these 3 records I just mentioned it will at least keep them in it and give them a chance as we approach August. I just don’t if they are capable of playing over .500 baseball in this stretch against so many good teams. It’s going to be very very tough.
