CLINT BARMES RUMORS & GOSSIP
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...
Too Bad We Don’t Have a Shortstop In The System
Currently Clint Barmes is hitting .111/.143/.185.  Our other shortstop is a guy named John McDonald.  McDonald is basically a defensive replacement.  He has just six plate appearances.  John McDonald is hitting. 000.  He’s always  been pretty inept offensively.  Like I said, defensive replacement. Mr. McDonald is a defensive replacement on a team that struggles to…
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...
