dEv~ 19 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 WTF !!!!!! Nate McClouth gone..........to the hated Braves.I haven't been paying as much attention to the Pirates as I'd like (even if they stink) but talking with a guy that seemed to know what he was talking about he wasn't devastated by the trade. Now he's hoping they rid themselves of Sanchez, Wilson, and Adam Laroche. He seems to think the front office is starting to turn things in the right direction and they know they'll never be able to have a 100 million dollar payroll but they should be able to compete by building from within.Not that they haven't been trying that for the last 15 years or anything though.

He was batting 260ish with 9 homeruns which is not nearly as good as last year. The Pirates got the better end of the deal imo. Link to post Share on other sites

vonteego3 0 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 lol @ drafting ANOTHER "franchise catcher." Jesus christ, are we gonna try to win by ensuring we have every catcher in baseball?Way to draft a guy that most teams had going in the 2nd round, Huntington! Link to post Share on other sites
vonteego3 0 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Googled it and couldn't find it, so I'm taking credit for this nickname. Andrew McClutchen! 16-31 with nners on base. We're still almost unwatchable, but Cutch is worth the price of admission alone. Clutch Cutch! Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I have a question for pittsburgers. How tilted are you that you spent public funds on the new baseball stadium? wasn't the whole idea of a new stadium to make the pirates more profitable, so they could actually compete and hold onto their veteran players? This franchise is now officially the biggest joke in the majors. Link to post Share on other sites

krup24 0 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Alderson has good stuff Pirates fans. You guys got the better end of that deal.yeah i'm excited about himwe got good value for jack and ian snell. i mean jack was sick defensively but his bat has been slowly getting worse. snell is completely mental and has lost 5 mph on his fastball.these trades and all the young players will almost make me want to watch a game if not a few innings here and there. where as before i wouldn't even turn on the game.

dEv~ 19 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 The Pirates seek to end their streak of 17 consecutive losing seasons by using a two-bat approach at the plate.http://www.sportspickle.com/picture:241 Link to post Share on other sites
dEv~ 19 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 http://www.sportspickle.com/might-have-hea...-pitcher-fourth Pirates to bat pitcher fourthPirates manager John Russell announced today that he will bat the pitcher fourth in the lineup this year because "F--k it. Why not?" he said. Russell had been considering putting the pitcher in the eighth spot, but eventually decided fourth was the way to go as part of a drastic attempt to end Pittsburgh's 17-year string of losing seasons. As far as other changes, No. 9 hitter Ronny Cedeno will hold his bat upside-down, leadoff hitter Akinori Iwamura will be told to just "stand there and hope for a walk," and first baseman Jeff Clement will forfeit his at-bats to keep the games moving.

dEv~ 19 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 After enduring 17 straight losing seasons is this the year the losing streak becomes an adult? They're 4-5 so far but all of their loses were by 6 runs or more. A team ERA of 7.38 certainly isn't going to get it done. McCutchen has started a little slow at the plate with a .247 average but being 2nd in the league in stolen bases is promising. Obviously it's waaaay to early to draw any conclusions but those are the things that stand out so far in my mind.I don't know why but I continue to be hopeful that some of the pieces of the puzzle are in place that are going to turn this franchise around.
