Zach Duke and the Pittsburgh Pirates fell 8-7 last night to the Florida Marlins. It was the first loss by the Bucs this season against the Marlins. Duke has lost four straight games on the road. The Bucs have scored just eight runs in those seven losses.
By our count the Bucs have eight rookies on the [...]

The “race” for the honorable title that is the right to represent the Pirates at the All-Star game [was won by Freddy Sanchez this year]. Besides improving the chances of Freddy remaining a Pirate another year (I’ll get to that in a second), Freddy was the right choice.
I honestly was hoping Zach Duke would be [...]

Quick thoughts on last night's game: Charlie Morton looked good. His fastball was 92-93 most of the night and his breaking stuff was nasty. Three of his four walks came in the fifth and sixth innings in which he clearly looked tired. That's more than understandable since he came back out after a 45 minute rain delay.
I also though Joel Hanrahan's outing was interesting...

First the report on Grabow from George A. King III: Pittsburgh had two scouts at last night's game, Jim Benedict, a former Yankees scout, and Larry Corrigan. Their presence fueled speculation the Yankees have an interest in 30-year-old lefty reliever John Grabow. With Damaso Marte's return from shoulder problems looking less likely by the day, the Yankees could use a second...

The Pirates are Marlins take the field at 6:10 to help you kick off your holiday weekend early. Charlie Morton and Chris Volstad take the mound in bright red caps as the Marlins try to stay in first place and the Pirates try to stay focused in light of even more swirling trade rumors (it's worth noting that DK is reporting there's nothing to the Pirates/Twins rumors and Sanchez...

I watched some of yesterday’s Mets/Pirates make-up game, but apparently not the right parts. In what I watched, the Mets were hitting singles and Keith Hernandez was ****-talking the ineffective, soft-tossing Paul Maholm — “where was this guy in the 1980s,” he said after Nick Evans hit something like the fifth straight single off Maholm [...]

Mike Hampton has a W in his last 10 decisions against the Pirates. That might could almost be better than Roy's streak against the Reds, because Roy has a bunch of NDs amongst the wins. (I don't guess that I should note that counting the 4 Pirates games, Hampton is 5-5 with a 4.16 ERA/1.35 WHIP and without them, he's 1-5 with a 5.28 ERA and 1.57 WHIP - only 3 of his 7...

MIAMI -- Paul Maholm has experienced discomfort in his left knee and groin at various points in the season, but he emphatically rejected that they have hampered his pitching.

I didn't see even a split second of Saturday's loss and while I saw plenty of Sunday's game, there's very little to say about a three-hit shutout in which the opponent strikes you out 13 times. Instead of wasting space on recaps that would've be useful, let's go over some other things.
DK focuses his game story on Ross Ohlendorf's loss of velocity this...
