If the Pirates wanted to win their sixth straight series for the first time since 1992, they needed to keep the offense going from Game 1 of the Baltimore series and lock down the pitching. They didn’t do either. The offense was back to scoring fewer than two runs for the 18th time this season and the pitching staff gave up at least 7 runs for a second straight night in the 7-1 embarrassment.
Last night was only the first time since May 22-23 that the Buccos have lost back-to-back games but having the current versions of Brad Lincoln and Kevin Correia rounding out the rotation, the Pirates didn’t stand much of a chance against the Orioles’ offense that scores 4.5 runs per game.
Correia continued to be nothing more than meh giving up 10 hits and 5 runs through six innings of work, He gave up 4 extra-base hits, including a two-out homer in the sixth. James McDonald, AJ Burnett and Erik Bedard have found success this year by striking people out but since Correia couldn’t K a guy to sa...

Not much of surprise here, and honestly, it’s about time. Cole has been posting solid numbers in Bradenton all season, and the two college pitchers that were drafted immediately behind him are already...

Charlie Morton ‘expected’ to need Tommy John surgery

June 14, 2012
This is some pretty upsetting news (via the Trib). Morton has a torn elbow ligament that will apparently put him out for the rest of the season.
Charlie hit the DL after feeling pain on May 29, but the injury was reportedly minor. That doesn’t seem to be the case any more, although the team has not yet commented on the situation.
Tommy John surgery requires about a year’s time...

The Pirates had quite an offensive outburst, but it wasn’t enough to match Adam Jones and the Orioles Tuesday night.
Brad Lincoln had some trouble getting behind hitters. When he did that he threw pitches over the middle of the plate. Those pitches over the...

Final: Orioles 12, Pirates 6
WP: Tommy Hunter (3-3, 5.58 ERA)
LP: Erik Bedard (4-7, 4.36 ERA)
The Orioles scored 10 runs in this one before the Pirates even got a single player on base. That is not a recipe for success.
The Pirates’ offense eventually woke up and scored six runs on ten hits, but it was way too late as this one was put out of reach early on.
Erik Bedard gave up...

During their recent stretch of of solid play, the Pirates have still had their fair share of ugly games. They’ve done a great job of “showering well” (as Clint Hurdle says) and shaking it off the next day, though, and that’s the goal tonight...

The Pirates played a terrible game all around and dropped their second in a row to the Orioles, this time by a 7-1 blowout score.
Kevin Corriea was bad: 6 innings, 10 hits, 5 runs (4 earned), only 1 strikeout, 1 walk, and 1 homer. We’ve seen him get away with some mediocre outings that could have been a lot worse lately, but that wasn’t the case today. Baltimore took advantage...

Following the surprising and very upsetting news of Charlie Morton‘s Tommy John surgery, the Bucs could have used a nice lift from Erik Bedard and company tonight in Baltimore. They didn’t get it, and were blown out to complete a really awful series.
Bedard was bad from the start in his former home ballpark. The O’s struck for four runs in the first inning…the dagger being...

I was always a big Erik Bedard fan - his stuff when he was on was fantastic, and the 15 strike-out game he had against Texas was probably the best pitched game I've ever seen live (batter were literally going back to the dugout shaking their heads). It would have been nice to see him do well tonight (though not quite well enough to win), and it wouldn't have been terribly...
