Epitome of a season
I’ve said this time and time again about Zach Duke…but Ross Ohlendorf has to be one pretty frustrated dude. He pitched a whale of a game today–his last start of a great year due to an innings limit–and has nothing to show for it thanks to your Pittsburgh offense.

Shutting Down Ohlendorf
Ross Ohlendorf allowed one run over seven innings in the Pirates 2-1 loss to the Padres Saturday afternoon. That lowered his ERA to 3.92, and with 176 2/3 innings under his belt, the broadcast said the Pirates are likely to shut him down for the rest of the season. Between the majors and [...]

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Slider: Consistency Keeps Charlie Morton From Being a Monster
This question comes into sharper focus after the Pirates' two defeats over the weekend, even with solid starts by veteran starters.
But Charlie Morton, one of the three players acquired from the Atlanta Braves for Nate McLouth last spring, pitched a seven-inning, one-run start against the San Diego Padres in PNC park on Friday night. That's very good.
