CLINT BARMES RUMORS & GOSSIP

How long do you stick with Clint Barmes?

Through 40 games, Clint Barmes is hitting .171/.200/.285. Last night, he drew a walk and doubled his season walk total. It's true that he was mostly signed to play defense, but it's hard to say that his defense has been anything better than about average at shortstop this year. Still, he's started more games than any Pirate other than Neil Walker this year. So how long...

Pirates 5, Mets 4

Neil Walker scored on Clint Barmes' tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the eighth inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied against Johan Santana and the New York Mets for a 5-4 victory Monday night.

Barmes throws Dodgers a walkoff win

The Pirates scored three runs in the first five innings of last night’s game against the Giants so it was pretty unlikely that they were going to score again since they’ve only averaged 1.57 runs per game this year. But Clint Barmes didn’t do the Buccos any favors with his ninth-inning throwing error that let the Dodgers walk off with a 4-3 win that extended...
