CLINT BARMES RUMORS & GOSSIP
Barmes Makes Adjustment, Improves at the Plate
The common (and mostly correct) assessment of what Clint Barmes brings to the Pirates is that he’s a player who provides a capable defensive option at shortstop but brings little to the table with his bat. One just needs to look to his 0 for 3 performance on Sunday against Houston to see that.
Clint Barmes’ recent adjustments to his swing have paid off in hits and helped the...
Pirates 7, Brewers 1
The Pirates beat the Brewers…again! I could get used to this. Thursday’s win was the Bucs third in a row and fourth in the last five games against Milwaukee.
Francisco Liriano made his second start (first at home) as a Pirate, and it was just as strong as his debut. After a shaky first in which the Brewers brought home one run, he settled down and kept them at bay through the...
Pirates Pregame: Alvarez, Barmes Sit Against Gallardo
Pedro Alvarez and Clint Barmes will both sit today in favor of Brandon Inge and recently-recalled Jordy Mercer. Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said the move was made because Alvarez and Barmes historically have struggled against Milwaukee starting pitcher Yovani Gallardo.

The Pirates’ new starting lineup video is hilarious
The PNC Park jumbotron has introduced the Pirates’ lineup with some strange and cheesy videos in the past (such as this one), but when I saw this new one on Youtube I couldn’t stop laughing:
So much awkwardness. Some players (Gaby Sanchez) embraced the silly Saturday Night Live theme, some (Pedro Alvarez and Clint Barmes) clearly wanted nothing to do with it, and some (Wandy...
Guy with ginormous glove snags foul ball at Cardinals-Pirates game (video)
During the bottom of the 4th inning of the St. Louis Cardinals-Pittsburgh Pirates game at PNC Park on Monday evening, a fan down the right field line armed with an grossly oversized baseball glove ensnared a foul pop-up off the bat of Pirates shortstop Clint Barmes in said ginormous mitt. The best part is how immediately after he catches it, he appears to taunt Cardinals outfielder...
Pirates SS Clint Barmes keeping it simple in 2013
Clint Barmes knows his glove kept him in the Pittsburgh Pirates' lineup a year ago. The veteran shortstop hopes his bat chips in this season.
Barmes says he spent the winter focusing on keeping things simple at the plate. He admits he tried to do too much too soon in 2012, when he hit a miserable .170 during April and May.
Manager Clint Hurdle stuck with Barmes, however, because...

I do not appreciate Barmes' contribution to the game today.

Tweets like this are not:
@braveslove he has given up quite a few homers the past year.

1. I'm blaming the wind.
