It’s time for Lincoln to be the Pirates’ substitute starter
We’re used to seeing Kevin ************* the bed at home but giving up five runs in 2/3 of an inning last night on the road was something new for KC…but just as embarrassing. Correia wasn’t even supposed to be in the rotation when Opening Day arrived but because of AJ Burnett bunting himself in the face, KC was forced back into a starting role. And when Jeff Karstens went...

Will Brad Lincoln's bullpen success translate into a start?
With Erik Bedard out until at least Wednesday with his back spasms, Brad Lincoln will get a spot start for the Pirates in Miami tonight. Lincoln's been pretty impressive in a handful of relief appearances this year; in 14 1/3 innings, he has 16 strikeouts and held the opposition to just nine hits, giving him a 0.62 ERA and a FIP of 2.91. Lincoln's struggled with missing bats...

Brad Lincoln to start Monday vs Marlins
Kristy Robinson reported that Brad Lincoln will start in place of Erik Bedard (back spasms) on Monday in Miami. Bedard will have his start pushed back to Wednesday in Washington.
Lincoln certainly deserves the shot over anyone else as he has been spectacular so far this season in a long relief role. In 14 1/3 innings, he has given up just one earned run, good for a 0.63 ERA. He...

Is Brad Lincoln Better Suited as a Reliever?
Over the first 31 games of this season, I've developed a bit of a man crush on Brad Lincoln. He started the year in AAA but made his way up to the big leagues when Jeff Karstens went on the disabled list. Since then, Lincoln has been fantastic, giving up just one run in 14.1 innings pitched. His most recent performance was his best, throwing three innings without giving up...

Bucs lose Bedard but Cutch & Lincoln beat Nats
Eric Bedard got the start last night but only lasted three pitches into the second inning before his back started acting up and he had to be pulled with back spasms. It’s not his first go around with back spasms and it’s not a good sign for a guy who’s career has been riddled with injuries. All things considered though it’s better that he’s suffering from back spasms...

Kevin Correia vs. Brad Lincoln, Again.
This was one of my biggest post topics during the offseason, and I think now is an appropriate time to revisit it. Prior to the Pirates signing A.J. Burnett, everything was pointing to Kevin Correia and Brad Lincoln duking it out for the five spot in the rotation. Correia was coming off a season in which he had a good and very lucky first half of the season and made the all-star...
