Chicks Dig The LongBall

<a href=”http://www.coveritlive.com/mobile.php?option=com_mobile&task=viewaltcast&altcast_code=39ceea580f&#8221; >Game 65: Pirates at Twins</a>
Well the Pirates got beat pretty hard last night, but they turned the tables around and dished out some pain of their own tonight. They did it with the help of the long ball. The Pirates his 3 home runs tonight, which has been a very rare occurrence for them this year. It all started in the 3rd inning when Andrew McCutchen hit his first home run of his career and gave the Pirates a 2-0 lead. The Twins battled back and tied it at 2, but that tie was quickly broken in the 4th inning by Andy LaRoche’s two run bomb that drove in his brother Adam. Ian Snell, John Grabow, and Steven Jackson took it from there. Snell earned his first victory since April, and improved to 2-7 as he pitched 6 innings giving up only 2 runs. Snell had good stuff tonight despite striking out only 2. That’s Snell’s third consecutive start where he gave the team a chance to win, this is good news for the Pirates. Either it’s good news in the sense that he could be effective as a starter for the rest of the year with the Pirates, or good news in the sense that his trade value has gone up a bit. There are interested suitors for Snell, including rumored Colorado and Texas. I would be pretty excited if we could get a decent prospect or two for him, the sooner the better. Charlie Morton and Daniel McCutchen are hinting that the future is now. Let them pitch. 
Anyways, the third home run of the game came in the 9th by Adam LaRoche. He roped one out quickly to right field. They added on 3 runs before that bomb in the 8th with help from Robinzon Diaz’s 2 run double into the left center field gap. This was just another very well played baseball game for the Pirates. They hit, they pitched, they played defense, and they won convincingly. It’s not easy to beat the Twins in Minnesota, that was only the 13th time it happened this year. 
This all puts the Pirates record at 31-34 as we head into the rubber game tomorrow against the Twins. It’s a 1:10 start and not televised. Zach Duke takes the hill to face Nick Blackburn. Duke has been good all year long, and Blackburn has been lights out lately. He’s won 3 of his last 5 decisions and hasn’t given up more than 3 earned runs in a start since May 16th against the Yankees. The Pirates have proved to be very effective in games against good starting pitching, so let’s hope that trend continues tomorrow. I’d like to see the Pirates keep hitting home runs too, they seem to really help a team win. 
Let’s Go Bucs!

Trip, Trip, Triple

Well I haven’t posted in a couple days because my internet has been down. The Comcast guy came yesterday to “fix” it, but he failed to do so. I have it working right now however, who knows that’ll last, so I’d better do this quick. 

The Pirates lost a heartbreaking 15 inning game last night. I left for a softball game at 9:00 thinking I had no chance of seeing the end of the game, but I arrived home at 11:30 to watch the last full inning. I was excited to be able to watch some of it, but I was very disappointed when all I got to see was a loss. The Braves played an ugly game, the Pirates played a beautiful one, but in the end the Braves came out on top. That’s just how baseball works sometimes, one team can make all the mistakes in the world and still beat a team that was flawless. It just came down to the Pirates leaving more men on base. They left 10 on in the extra innings and went the last 7 innings without scoring a run. The bullpen did an amazing job, it was a shame that we couldn’t get them a win. You could say all the same about the Braves though, their bullpen combined for those 7 shutout innings and did enough to give their team the victory. It ended on a bases loaded 1 out groundball to Jack Wilson, who made a fantastic play to backhand it and throw it towards the plate, but the throw was just offline and forced Jason Jamarillo’s foot off the plate on the stretch.

Jeff Francoeur really wanted to get thrown out too, because he succeeded to run about 75% down the line, looking back at the ball the whole time. What an idiot play, it ticks me off that the final run was scored on stupid baserunning by a player who should know better. 
I’m sick of seeing big leaguers look at the ball when they run. What do they teach you in little league? When the ball is hit and you have to get to a base, put your head down and run as hard as you can. You looking at the ball isn’t going to affect the outcome, getting to the base quicker is. 
Anyways, there are a couple of positives that came out of last night. The bullpen had their best outing of the year, nearly picking up Zach Duke after he allowed 5 runs in 5 innings pitched. The bullpen combined for 9 shutout innings before Jeff Karstens, our fifth starter, gave up the one run in the 15th. I don’t think this will change Karstens scheduled Wednesday start, but it would be exciting to see a spot start from Charlie Morton, or even a Paul Maholm start a day early. My goal for this roadtrip was to win 3 or 4 games. So far we’re 1-3 with 3 more games to play. It would be fantastic to see the bucs take these next 3 games from the Braves, but the Pirates really don’t play well on the road, so I’ll be happy with 2 wins. 
A little bit of irony hit the Pirates as well last night as Nate McLouth had 3 hits, including a towering 5th inning blast to dead center field which gave the Braves a 3-1 lead. That lead would then grow to 5-1 after Brian McCann hit one of the longest home runs we’ve seen this season off of a meatball served up by Zach Duke. McLouth had a great game and I’m sure he enjoyed helping beat the bucs. I’m sure we’re still his 2nd favorite team though. 
The real story yesterday came off the bat of Andrew McCutchen, who is playing better than anyone expected. He had 4 hits, 2 triples, and was a home run shy of the cycle. He has now raised his batting average to .400, with 5 runs and 5 RBI in 5 games. He’s been doing everything for the Pirates. Andrew has stepped right into his role as a spark for the offense causing some excitement at the plate, on the bases, and in centerfield. We haven’t seen any dazzling plays out in centerfield yet, but we soon will. Andrew has to be full of confidence after his hot start, and to say I’m excited to watch him the rest of this season would be an understatement. You can read more about Andrew’s great start over at The Pittsburgh Peas blog. 
Anyways, it’s a new story tonight, and the Pirates look to give their bullpen a well deserved rest as they send bulldog Ross Ohlendorf to the mound to face Braves’ ace Derek Lowe. 

Back On Track… ?

Ah yes, my pre-game feelings were right on. The Pirates finally ended their 8-game losing streak with an impressive 7-1 victory over the Cardinals. I feel like I should make a long post reflecting on this game’s happenings. However, no one really wants to read all that, plus I didn’t even watch the game because I was playing softball. We did win our game, in case you were wondering, we 15-runned our opponent and I made my first web-gem of the year at second base on a screaming grounder up the middle. It felt good. haha. Anyways, let’s get to some Pirates baseball information: 

  1. Zach Duke : 8 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 5 K, 1 BB – Duke was phenomenal again. He’s really good in PNC Park. Duke did just what we needed him too. The only run he surrendered was a first inning home run to Albert Pujols, which wasn’t even his fault, because it’s Albert Pujols. I honestly don’t even get upset when watching a Pujols bomb, which happens so often against the Pirates. I’ve just accepted that this guy is the best hitter of my lifetime and he’s going to hit a lot of home runs. I’m a big fan of his so whatever he does is fine with me. The important thing is to get everyone else in that lineup out, which Duke did tonight. Of course the early injury to Ryan Ludwick helped Duke’s cause as well. Anyway, great work from Duke getting us off the schneid. 
  2. Brandon Moss : 3/4, 2 R, 2 RBI – Brandon Moss finally looked like a major league hitter. He ripped a single in the second and finally hit his first long ball of the year in the 5th. Let’s just hope this is a boost of confidence and this kind of night becomes a very familiar thing. That would be a huge boost to the team. Also, let me say one thing. After that home run, I got a couple texts from friends saying “look at your boy Moss” or something of that sort. Let me say this, Brandon Moss is NOT my boy. I have stuck up for him all through April just because of his youth and upside, but I’m not going to lie that faith had been wavering him. After one game I’m not going to change my wavering view of him or say that he is ready to break out, because he probably isn’t. One thing I’m not going to do is start bragging about my patience with him and say it paid off, because I was about to give up on him and hey, it’s only one game. This is ridiculous, let’s move on.
  3. Matt Capps : Well Zach Duke couldn’t finish the game and stopped after 8 innings, and that gave the Pirates a chance to see Matt Capps for the first time in over a week. He showed mixed signs. He gave up a hit and 2 walks and actually loaded the bases with nobody out, but then put it together and struck out 2 batters and got a flyout to end the game. His control was off, but he was throwing good pitches that resulted in a lot of swing and misses. The control issues were probably expected because he had been down for a while, and it’s really good to see him getting hitters off balance and vulnerable at the plate. That’s the Capps we need to see for the rest of this year, enough of the wildness and straight fastballs over the heart of the plate. 
Nothing really left to say about this game but RAISE THE JOLLY ROGER. 
Tomorrow is game 2 of this homestand, the Pirates send Ross Ohlendorf to the mound who has been excellent this year. I am a huge supporter of Ross and I love watching him on the mound. He’s been getting a ton of ground balls and really keeping the ball down in the zone. That’s what we need, he’s been going past any expectations any Pirate fan had for him this year. Let’s hope he keeps it up tomorrow as his counterpart is Joel Pineiro. Pineiro has a 3.66 ERA and a record of 4-2. He has been great at times this year, but he is still vulnerable and I think the Pirates can beat him. He actually has gotten progressively worse this season, winning his first four starts and losing his last 2. He’s not a strikeout pitcher, amassing only 13 in his 6 starts. This all looks like good news for the Pirates, let’s hope we can touch him up and really start to get hot as a team so we can run off some wins and get our respectable record back. Now let’s take a quick look into how some of the Pirates have faired in their careers against Pineiro: 
Freddy Sanchez:1/8, 2 BB, .300 OBP, .125 SLG
Nate McLouth: 3/7 – 1 2B, 1 HR, 6 RBI, 3 BB, .462 OBP, 1.000 SLG
Adam LaRoche : 2/7, 1 RBI, 0 BB
Brandon Moss: 0/1
Jack Wilson: 4/9, 4 singles
So there you have it. Expect a home run from Nate and a couple of singles from Jack. Let’s go ahead and make some predictions:
Ross Ohlendorf: 6.1 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 3 BB, 2 K
Nate McLouth, 2/4, 1B, HR, 2 RBI
Nyjer Morgan, 1/3, 2 BB, 2 SB, R
Jack Wilson, 3/4, 3 1B, RBI
Pirates win 6-5
What a long post that was.  Good night baseball fans!

Here We Go, Again!

This morning I woke up and went outside. I was pleasantly greeted by the chirping of birds, which again reminded me that spring is here and summer is on the way. It put a smile on my face and started my day off right. Then I was reminded of the Pirates recent misfortunes because we are hosting some birds of our own this week. 


The Pirates are just about to start their series with the Cardinals, and I have a good feeling about it. Jack Wilson is back, Brian Bixler is gone, and the Pirates are coming off an off day and ready to send Zach Duke to the hill and score him some runs. I really think the Pirates are going to end this long losing streak and get a good refreshing victory against Todd Wellemeyer and the red birds.  

I had a notable day today, hit the links for the first time in 2009. I shot a mediocre 52 (in 9 holes of course), but had a lot of fun. I never professed to be a good golfer, but I have my share of great moments and always enjoy going out with some friends. So there you go, so far my average is 52. Now I’m about to leave for a softball game and miss the majority of the bucco game. We’re playing one of the worse teams in the league so I’m banking on a big victory. 

So here I go, off to the game while listening to my buccos fight for victory. Zach Duke just struck out the first hitter of the game, and I’m seeing a great performance from him tonight.

Let’s just hope no birds will be chirping to END my day as well.

Let’s go bucs. I love you all. 

Game Log, May 6th @ Cardinals

Well I had every intention of sitting here and blogging throughout the entire game tonight on my brand spanking new macbook, but unfortunately both TVs were take because my mom was watching Lie To Me, and my dad was watching the Penguins game, so I had settle for listening to the game on MLB LIVE AT BAT on my iPod. My dad has since went to bed and I can now watch my buccos play and talk about LIVE. Here we go… here’s just a couple things I noticed early in the game :

  • Delwyn Young got his first start of the year and so far is doing great. He’s got a single, 2 walks, and scored our first run of the game. He also came within a foot or so of making a phenomenal catch to rob the Cardinals of 2 runs, but unfortunately he couldn’t snatch it. I don’t think Moss would’ve even got to that ball.
  • The injury of Rick Ankiel cost us a run tonight. I know, this sounds nuts, but I can back it up. Jason Jamarillo got thrown out at home earlier in the game on a Nyjer Morgan single. I can guarantee that if Ricky Ankiely were out in center field, Tony Beasley WOULD NOT have sent Jamarillo to the dish and we would’ve stayed in that inning. The run then would’ve scored on the next hitter, of course I guess I can’t really say that because things might have been different, but I still think it’s a good observation.
  • That’s about it, let’s get to the G-LOG

9:42: Andy LaRoche just grounded out to the pitcher to end the top of the fifth. It would’ve been really nice to get a hit there because there was a runner at third. 4-2 Cardinals



9:47: That quickly the bottom of the 5th is over, Zach Duke really cruised through that inning, striking out 2. We’ve got the bottom of the order coming home so let’s hope we can draw some walks. 4-2 Cardinals

9:51: My MLB.TV has now stopped working. This is bad news, it better be fixed by 10:10 when the Nationals vs. Dodgers game starts…

9:56: After a Zach Duke base hit off the glove of Khalil Greene, the Pirates are threatening again. However, I’m not watching the game right now because my girl Allison just got voted off of American Idol and I can’t miss her last performance. She’s awesome.
9:58: Gamechannel has just informed me that Freddy Sanchez grounded into an inning-ending bases loaded double play after a Nyjer Morgan single that Jamarillo didn’t score on… what a wasted opportunity, you’ve gotta be kidding me.
10:01: Albert Pujols is absolutely ridiculous. He is head and shoulders above everyone in this game, he makes it look so easy. Batting practice is probably like talking and chewing gum and walking at the same time for him.
10:06: Tony LaRussa just gave us a gift by sending the runners on first and second on a (possible) hit and run attempt in which Molina failed to make contact. Albert Pujols was then easily thrown out at third and now there’s a runner on 2nd with 1 out instead of 1st and 2nd with nobody out. Except now Duke walked Molina and it turned out to be nothing better than a popout in the infield. Now Duke’s being pulled and here comes the bullpen…… YIKES. Duke only threw 77 pitches??? 6th inning?? What the hell is Russell doing? Has he not been at the last 6 games?????? Wow.
10:11: MLB.TV is working again now just in time for Nationals/Dodgers first pitch. Sean Burnett just got whoever that was to line into a double play, although the ball was smoked. Regardless the inning is over and the score remains 4-2.
10:15: Ryan Zimmerman extends his hitting streak to 24 games and puts Kershaw in trouble in the first inning of that Dodgers game while Nate McLouth hits another weak pop up in the infield and Adam LaRoche gets the turkey of strikeouts to get a quick 2 outs in the 6th. We’re making Denys Reyes look like Jonathan Papelbon out there. I hate when we do this.
10:26: Holy crap the Pirates actually got a whole scoreless inning out of their bullpen. Sean Burnett got hit hard twice that inning but got all 3 batters he faced out. Now let’s hit, we’ve only got 6 more outs! Also, Clayton Kershaw needed 31 pitches to put up a 0 in the top of the first, what a joke. He struck out the side though!
10:29: This offense looks oddly familiar. Some life early but nothing in the later half of the game… a 1-2-3 innings sends us to the bottom of the 8th with the score still 4-2 St. Louis. If the bullpen can put up another 0 we might be able to do something in the 9th. 
10:36: After 2 quick outs in the bottom of the 8th, JR calls on Jesse Chavez to come and do the seemingly impossible, get Albert Pujols out. Can someone please tell me why this guy doesn’t get walked 3 times a game? Good luck Chavez. Throw one up there and cross your fingers.
10:42: Wel he didn’t get Pujols, but he struck out Ludwick. Chavez wasn’t even throwing in the 90′s, which is odd because he normally is in the mid to high 90′s. We’ve seen him throw 97 this year, maybe the gun is off. Either way, the bullpen did its job here and hopefully our offense can put a couple on the board in the 9th. And Kershaw had a 1-2-3 2nd and has now struck out 5!
10:46: I think the “Aspen Dental Play That Made You Smile” you should be eliminated from Pirate games, because I haven’t smiled watching a game in 10 days. The Pirates lose, 4-2. 
Goodnight everyone, I’m off to watch a good team play, the Los Angeles Dodgers. 
p.s. will someone in St. Louis please buy Ryan Franklin a razor? That thing on his chin is disgusting. 

Trying To Right The Ship

Yeah, that’s pretty much how it’s felt to be a Pirate fan the last week and half. The Pirates are 1-7 in their last 8 games, and the starting pitching has been good enough to win 5 of those games, which makes it hurt even worse. The offense has been terrible, scoring only 27 runs in those 8 games, which I guess isn’t terrible, but they were bunched up runs. They have been shut out 3 times in this stretch. In the one game they won they scored 8 runs. That’s only 19 runs in 7 losses. I don’t care how good your starting pitching is, if you score less than 3 runs a game like that, you’re not going to win very often. And as bad as the offense has been, the bullpen has been twice as bad. I don’t know any numbers or percentages (I’d look them up, but it’d just be too painful), but those pitchers have been worse than I’ve ever seen them. The worst part is that it’s not Donnie Veal and Evan Meek in there getting roughed up, it’s been the anchors of the bullpen with John Grabow, Tyler Yates, and Matt Capps. This hurts more than anything. There’s nothing worse than playing a great first 6 or 7 innings then losing the game because of the bullpen.

So let’s try to get off this schneid with a new series. The Brewers won’t be around for awhile and we can focus on teams that we can actually beat. We’re back in St. Louis tonight, where we split our first series of the year by taking 2 of 4 from the Cardinals. Tonight we send the reliable Zach Duke to the bump to take on Mitch Boggs

Yeah, I said Mitch Boggs. Who the crap is Mitch Boggs?? I consider myself a pretty knowledgeable baseball fan and I’ve never heard of this guy.

Turns out he’s a prospect for the Cardinals who is filling in for Chris Carpenter. He’s made 3 starts this year and has been pretty good. He’s 1-0 with a 3.29 ERA while striking out 5. His stuff isn’t electric, his velocity is average at best, so I’m not seeing another shut out tonight. The Pirates can definitely score some runs off of his, let’s just hope it’s enough to win the game. A 13-14 record looks a whole lot better than a 12-15 mark.

LET’S GO BUCS!

Impeccable Pirate Performance Pounds Padres

Now that’s a blog title right there. Dang, I’m awesome. 

Anyways, after a somewhat sloppy and painful loss last night, the Pirates rebounded with a great win tonight. The solid starting pitching just keeps on coming. Tonight Zach Duke was the star, going 8.1 innings giving up only 1 run on 6 hits while striking out 5. You can’t ask for anything more than that. After an extended game last night and a lot of work from the bullpen, it’s really good to get those guys a rest. The only pitcher needed was Evan Meek, who came in and amazingly through only 2 pitches to end the game. Here are the game notes besides what was already mentioned :
  • The Pirates offense collected 14 hits without Nate McLouth and Jack Wilson. The lineup featured all 3 offseason additions for the first time this year, with Monroe in left, HInske in right, and Vasquez at shortstop. Those three combined for 6 hits and 4 RBI. 
  • Freddy Sanchez got rid of any bad taste in his mouth from an 0-5 performance yesterday by collecting 3 hits and scoring 3 runs. He was back in the 2 hole in the lineup, I guess he likes it better there. We really need Nate back, it would be a huge blow for him to miss significant time. 
  • The Pirates got deep into the Padres bullpen for a second straight night. After starter Shawn Hill only made it through 2 innings (due to an injury, I assume) the bullpen used 3 pitchers to combine for the other 7 innings. Josh Geer through 4 innings giving up 7 hits and 5 runs, Eulogio De La Cruz went 2 innings giving up 2 runs on 2 hits, and Luis Perdomo had a perfect inning in the 9th. This should make the Padres push the limits on Jake Peavy tonight because they really need their bullpen to get some rest tomorrow. Let’s hope the Pirates can be patient at the plate and make Peavy throw a lot of pitches early, then touch him up in the middle innings. 
  • Looking at the standings, if the season ended today, the Pirates would be in a tie with these Padres for the wild card spot and would be playing a play-in game to earn a playoff bid, wouldn’t that be something? 
Tomorrow Ross Ohlendorf makes his 4th start, so far he’s been stellar, especially in his last start. Jake Peavy has not been Jake Peavy this year, and is sporting an ugly ERA of 5.13, he does however have 2 wins to accompany 2 losses. I’m feeling that that’s gonna be 3 losses this time tomorrow! 
In other and less exciting news, I got 3 more team t-shirts today from a friend who was in a Gabriel Brothers’ store in Altoona. He picked up Mike Aviles, Prince Fielder, and Ryan Zimmerman for me. This brings the total to 14 and I now can represent 12 different teams. However, the Aviles and Zimmerman shirts are XLs, and the Fielder one is small, so they aren’t exactly good fits. 
I can’t believe I just used the words “Prince Fielder” and “small” in the same sentence. 

Game 12 vs. Braves : Pregame

Well I’m getting ready to leave for the game pretty soon, just wanted to make a quick post with a little preview of the game. Javier Vasquez takes the hill for the Braves to face the resurgent Zach Duke. Vasquez is a pure strikeout pitcher, he has 17 strikeouts in 2 starts, while going 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA. This gives the advantage to Duke, who is 2-0 with 9 strikeouts and a .59 ERA. It’s funny, the Pirates are first in the league in team ERA, but last in the league in strikeouts. Their doing it with location and efficiency. My fingers are crossed that Duke can continue the streak and go out and give another good effort. A win today would really boost the Pirates heading into a 3 game set with the league’s best team. The Marlins come to town tomorrow through Wednesday with a record of 10-1. If the Pirates could win today and then take 1 from the Marlins, they’d be at a nice 8-8 when they hit the road again. I would be more than fine with that record, but of course it’d be nice to win the next 4 games and go to 10-5 :)

LETS GO BUCS!

Game 7 vs. Astros: Recap

Well the home opener is in the books, and I think you all know how it went down. Zach Duke pitched a complete game shut out and the Pirates won it 7-0. Nothing left to do here but get to the pictures I took.

Nothing too great, my camera is really lame. Anyways, the game was a lot of fun, it was a little chilly but didn’t affect me much. My only mistake was going to the game with two people who aren’t nearly as passionate about baseball as I am. In fact one of them doesn’t like it at all. That was a downer, but I still had a great time watching the Pirates beat down on the Astros. Here are some of the high(and low) lights of my day.

  • I dropped a ball in batting practice. Hit both of my hands and I couldn’t hold on, it was embarrassing. 
  • Nate’s gold glove looked amazing, you could see it shining all through the stadium. 
  • I got some free french fries from winning a bet from my friend – always a nice occurrence.
  • McLouth helped my fantasy team (which lost week 1) with an RBI single. 
  • After the game, I called into the post game show and got on! I proceeded to ask a stupid question, who would win in a foot race: Nyjer Morgan, Andrew McCutchen, Chris Duffy, or Randall Simon. The host’s answer? Randall Simon, then he made fun of me :)
Anyways, it is awesome to see pitching like we saw today. It is also awesome to see hitting the way we saw today. If our pitchers can go out and give the team a chance to win almost every day, I have confidence that the offense can put enough runs on the board to give the Pirates a winning record this season. However, I’m not about to put any money on it, I have to see this play keep up for more than a week before I start predicting a winning record. 

Game 3 @ Cardinals : [Short] Recap

Alright well I have very little time here, even though I’d love to do a full recap of this game, because it was spectacular. The Pirates collected 17 hits today, including 4 a piece from Freddy Sanchez and Jack Wilson. Nate McLouth had hit first hit of the season and it happened to go over the fence for his first home run and first RBIs of 2009. Zach Duke also pitched great, going 6.1 innings giving up 3 runs (1 earned) on 5 hits and striking out 4. Just an overall awesome performance. Right now Matt Capps is in for the save after a shaky third of an inning from Tyler Yates. Capps doesn’t look particularly good right now either, giving up a towering foul ball to Colby Rasmus and a long out to Nate McLouth. He just finished it up though, on another hard hit ball right at Ramon Vasquez. So it’s all over and the Pirates win 7-4. 

WP – Zach Duke(1-0)
LP – Todd Wellemeyer(0-1)
S – Matt Capps(2)
Just a note to anyone else who wants to join in on the friday pick ‘em challenge and current competitors, don’t forget to get your picks in by Friday night when the games start. I’ll be posting mine here tomorrow night. 
Tomorrow we’ve got a full slate of early games around the league, I’m not sure if there’s a reason for that, but either way it’s true. The Pirates finish up their series with the Cardinals and look to win 3/4 against the Cardinals at 1:40. The Pirates send Ross Ohlendorf to the hill, unfortunately it’s not on TV so I won’t be able to see Ross pitch. Oh well, LETS GO BUCS!
