BINGHAMTON, NY - Second baseman Josh Rodriguez has been in the minor leagues for over six seasons, but he has every intention of moving forward. After a brief seven-game stint with the Pittsburgh Pirates last season, the Houston native is in his first season with the Binghamton Mets.

RHP Jared Hughes has been recalled for today’s doubleheader against Colorado.
— Pittsburgh Pirates (@Pirates) April 25, 2012

Hughes has a 2.08 ERA over 8 2/3 innings so far the season for the 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...

AAA Indianapolis | Indianapolis 5 Louisville 3Starling Marte raised his batting average once again with a two hit night. One of those hits was his third triple of the year; he also scored two runs. Matt Hague went 1/4 and drove in a pair and Nick Evans hit a two run homer, his first of the year. Jeff Locke made the start and pitched 6 innings giving up just one run on three hits...

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. For tonight, the Pirates had one of their...

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...

Nice series victory against the Colorado Rockies. Tons of positives in this series. Clint Barmes, Pedro Alvarez, Garrett Jones, James McDonald and Charlie Morton all had really good outings. 25- 30 homers for Pedro is a definite possibility if he gets regular playing time. I really dislike four game sets. Especially on the road. It [...]
