RHP Jared Hughes has been recalled for today’s doubleheader against Colorado.
— Pittsburgh Pirates (@Pirates) April 25, 2012
Due to the new CBA signed over the off-season, teams are able to add a 26th man to their rosters for double headers. The Pirates’ have chosen reliever Jared Hughes to be that man.
Hughes has a 2.08 ERA over 8 2/3 innings so far the season for the Pirates. He was recently sent down to AAA when A.J. Burnett was activated from the disabled list.

Alvarez starting to provide power for Pirates
The Pittsburgh Pirates have waited patiently for nearly two years for third baseman Pedro Alvarez to showcase all the tools that made him the second overall pick of the 2008 draft.
Their patience might finally be paying off. Following a horrific start, Alvarez's bat is showing signs of life. He hit homers in both games of a doubleheader split with Colorado on Wednesday to raise...

April 24, 2012
A week or so ago, Baseball America's JJ Cooper published subscriber-only a piece that discusses Pedro Alvarez. An American League scout opined that if he didn't know Alvarez's pedigree, he'd be tempted to call him a non-prospect. Jim Callis follows up on that today by discussing some of the biggest position player draft busts and concluding:
Perhaps if Alvarez...

April 24, 2012
Let's start with this: this post will not be about bunting. I have an alarming amount of things to say about bunting and I'll probably say them several times in the near future. The bunting in this game made me angry, but I want to save most of these thoughts for later so that I can be more coherent and (hopefully) eloquent about it.

Recap 4/25 | Rockies 2 Pirates 1
Game one of the double header between the Rockies and Pirates finished with Colorado picking up a 2-1 victory. The story of this game was James McDonald's ability to take a no hitter into the seventh inning. Due to the Pirates being able to push only one run across, JMac picked up a no decision while only allowing one hit over seven innings. He allowed one run and struck out...

Remember last year how Paul Maholm posted a career-best 3.66 ERA while starting 26 games for the imploding Pirates? If you do, then you probably also remember that even though he was on a career-setting pace stat-wise before he got hurt, his record ended up at a miserable 6-14.
That’s because the offense provided him an average of 2.88 runs of support and in Maholm’s 26...

After the Pirates exciting win last night, they close out this series with the Rockies and this homestand with a double-header this afternoon. It's an old school doubleheader; it's starting at 12:35 and the second game will start a half hour or so after the first. One ticket, two games. Kind of makes me wish that back in Pittsburgh with a physics class to skip or something...
