Evan Meek optioned to AAA

Via North Side Notch  |  April 30, 2012
#pirates option Meek to Indianapolis — Tom Singer (@Tom_Singer) May 1, 2012   No corresponding move has yet been made, but one would have to assume that it will be either Doug Slaten, Daniel Moskos, or Daniel McCutchen, and most likely in that order. Evan Meek has struggled so far this year with a 5.59 ERA over 9 2/3 innings. Slaten has a 0.69 ERA over 13 innings for Indianapolis...

Burnett’s big blowup

A.J. Burnett was awesome in his first start as a Pirate. He was pretty good in his second one, too. The third? Well… A.J. Burnett is the first #Pirates starter to allow 12 runs in a game since Glenn Spencer vs. the #Cubs on April 24, 1932. #Cardinals — STATS LLC (@STATS_MLB) May 3, 2012 A.J.

Pirates (10-13) at Cardinals (15-8) 8:15 PM EST–Busch Stadium, St. Louis Here is the MLB.com Gameday TV: ROOT Sports The Pirates will need to be a lot better on the mound and in the field if they want to turn this series around and defeat the first-place Cardinals. St. Louis leads the Central and currently holds a 5-game advantage over the Bucs, so it’s crucial for them to at...

Reporter hits on David Freese during interview

Via It's Always Sunny in Detroit  |  April 30, 2012
I’ll admit that 2011 World Series MVP, Cardinals third baseman, David Freese isn’t an ugly-looking dude. But to the Julie Tristan, the host of KSDK’s “Show me St. Louis”, Freese is Brad Pitt, David Beckham and puppies all wrapped in one. Tristan did some fluff segment on a new ride at Six Flags St. Louis called Mr. Freeze. For some reason, Tristan took her interview...

Pirates Recall Jared Hughes

Via This Is Getting Old  |  May 01, 2012
The Pittsburgh Pirates have recalled RHP Jared Hughes to take Evan Meek‘s spot on the roster.  Meek was optioned to AAA after last night’s game against the Braves. This is a bit of a head-scrather to me.  Hughes had a pretty good ERA when he went down (1.86), but otherwise he did nothing to impress [...]

Buccos bats still not good enough

Via The Sports Jags  |  May 01, 2012
It was awesome to see the Pirates score nine runs last night against the Braves – we weren’t really sure if they’d ever score more than five in a game all year. But one game means absolutely nothing. The Pirates have now scored at least three runs in their last three games but if they want to do any better than third in the NL Central and keep hanging around .500, their bats...

Fill-in Lynn continues stellar start with 5th win

ST. LOUIS Lance Lynn may not be Chris Carpenter, but he's pitching about as good as the former Cy Young winner ever has. Lynn continued a remarkable start to the year Wednesday night, becoming the first National League pitcher to reach five wins with 6 23 strong innings in the Cardinals 12-3 romp of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Moved to the rotation because of a nerve injury to...

Cardinals hit early to avoid shadows

Via AP on Fox  |  May 02, 2012
The St. Louis Cardinals have started taking batting practice early to avoid late-afternoon shadows. Manager Mike Matheny said Wednesday that players can get a better read on the ball and get comfortable with their swing if the visibility is better. So the team began its hitting drills more than three hours before playing the Pittsburgh Pirates. Lance Berkman, on the 15-day disabled...
