Pirates designate OF McLouth for assignment
The Pirates on Friday designated outfielder Nate McLouth for assignment, and recalled outfielder Matt Hague from Triple-A Indianapolis.
McLouth, signed as a free agent on Dec. 7, hit just .140 with Pittsburgh, scoring four runs while driving in two more in 57 at-bats.
Hague began the season with the Pirates, going 1-for-9 with two RBIs in five games before being optioned April...

Nasty Nate 2.0 lasted just 44 games. Not quite what we had in mind when he re-signed with the Pirates back in December. Seriously, we were really expecting big things from him back in the Burgh. The Buccos just designated Nate McLouth for assignment to make room on the roster for Matt Hague.
We can’t say we didn’t see this coming; If you thought the .182 Nate hit in April...

Hooray! This won’t turn around the Pirates’ offensive woes, of course, but everyone was growing tiresome of seeing Nate on the team. Hague was not hitting particularly well in Indianapolis, but certainly will be a much better option as a pinch-hitter than McLouth was.

Last night, the Pirates beat a free-falling Cubs team 1-0 to move to 21-24 on the season. SP A.J. Burnett qualified for the win with 5.1 innings of shutout, 6-hit ball, while four members of the surprisingly strong bullpen combined for 3.2 scoreless innings. A quick rundown of thoughts:
1. The strength of the entire team’s pitching has...

Friday 5/25 Minor League Roundup
AAA Indianapolis | Indianapolis 4 Louisville 1Alex Presley was 3/4 and was just a home run shy of the cycle. Jeff Larish and Brian Friday had two hits. Starling Marte was 0/3 with an RBI.

Sorry to have fallen off the face of the Earth the last couple of days; I've been working like a maniac trying to put together a talk for a conference next week and there just aren't hours in the day sometimes. The Pirates DFA'd Nate McLouth today, which pretty much anyone anywhere could've seen coming, and replaced him with Matt Hague. Hague probably won't help...

Burnett (3-2) gave up six hits, struck out six and walked two over 5 1-3 innings and the National League's best bullpen made it stand up as the Pirates extended Chicago starter Ryan Dempster's misery...

Saturday 5/26 Minor League Roundup
AAA Indianapolis | Louisville 5 Indianapolis 4Jeff Karstens made a rehab start for the Indians and pitched well early on before giving up a five spot in the fifth inning.
