Game 2 was pretty much a carbon copy of Game 1. Good pitching, good
defense and timely hitting won the game. Ian Snell was dominant with a
career high 11 Ks over 6 innings. The X-Man was the offensive . . . more

I'm not going to write a very detailed analysis of the last 10 games right now, but I did want to point out that since losing their first 6 games, the Pirates are actually playing .500 baseball. In . . . more

This will be very fascinating to see how this plays out. The Pirates a certainly trying to paint Scott Boras as the bad guy here, which he very well may be, but we'll have to give this some time to . . . more

I have been meaning to post an overview of the Pirates pitching staff, but keep putting it off, partially because the more I think about it, the more I realize there just isn't a lot to say right now. . . . more

One thing I often like to do is go to the Baseball Reference web site and search on a particular player to see how the Pirates acquired that player. Very often somebody who came up through the Pirates . . . more

I keep thinking about Oliver's performance against the Red Sox 2 days ago. The game was on ESPN so I got to see some of it.
If you haven't heard about it yet, Ollie was on fire. He pitched 5 2/3 . . . more

I had to laugh when I read this from the Baseball Economist:

I did not get to see yesterday's game, since it wasn't on FSN and I don't pay for one of those every game packages. Baseball already takes too much of my time as it is. That said, Bucco Blog . . . more

Hopefully the Pirates come from behind win last night will be the blue print for a lot of games this season. The Pirates displayed good pitching, strong defense and something they like to call timely hitting. . . . more

There were a few good things that the Pirates showed in their 5-2 loss yesterday, but unfortunately there were more bad things.
The best performance was that of the starter Oliver Perez. He struggled . . . more

The first seven games the Pirates played in the '06 season were torturous for fans. They dropped the first 6 games before finally putting in a solid effort to win the seventh game of the season. The . . . more
