Turn back the clock night

On April 2, 2007, Erik Bedard and Johan Santana faced off on Opening Day in the Metrodome. Both pitchers were 28 years old, with Santana coming off of his second Cy Young Award and Bedard coming off of a breakout year that would help vault him to a career year in 2007. They were among the best the American League had to offer. In 2012, the duo will meet up in PNC Park tonight and...

Cutch & bullpen back Bedard

Big win for the Bucs tonight, as they finally picked up two victories in a row (first time since April 17-18) and clinched a series victory over the Nationals. The game started out ominously when Erik Bedard had to come out with an injury after just one inning, but the bullpen and Andrew McCutchen were able to earn the Pirates a win anyway. Bedard threw a perfect, five-pitch first...

Pirates P Erik Bedard pulled due to back spasms

Pittsburgh Pirates left-handed pitcher Erik Bedard left Wednesday night's game against Washington in the second inning due to back spasms. Bedard grimaced after his third pitch to Washington's Adam LaRoche in the top of the second. He spent several moments stretching for manager Clint Hurdle before being replaced by Brad Lincoln. Bedard threw just eight pitches in all. ...

Erik Bedard leaves game in 2nd inning due to back spasms

Lincoln takes over for Bedard in the 2nd as Bedard leaves the game due to back spasms. — Pittsburgh Pirates (@Pirates) May 9, 2012 We all knew it was probably just a matter of time that Erik Bedard got hurt. Bedard getting hurt has become a pretty routine thing over the past few years. This isn’t the first time Bedard has suffered back spasms. In 2008, he was removed from...

Pedro is Bedard’s hero in huge win

The Pirates had given Erik Bedard seven whole runs of support through his first five starts so he was probably pretty bitter when he gave up two runs to the Cardinals in the first inning. But after that and a bases loaded jam in the second, Bedard was on fire (even if the game was moving at the pace of a glacier). And thanks to another Toro Bomb from Pedro Alvarez, the Buccos...

EriKKKKKKKKKKK Bedard, Pedro salvage final game against Cards

Final: Pirates 6, Cardinals 3 WP: Erik Bedard (2-4, 2.65 ERA) LP: Jake Westbrook (3-2, 2.12 ERA) I couldn’t watch this game, but I did listen to it and from what I heard, it had to be one of the stranger starts a pitcher could have. Bedard started off the game way off as he gave up two runs in the first inning and threw over 55 pitches in his first two innings. However, he...

Will Bedard be the stopper?

Yesterday, it was exciting that the Pirates had scored 17 runs in their last two days. Today, it's pretty concerning that they've given up 22 in their last two. The heady days of "no one scores more than five runs EVER" are well behind us, apparently, and now we're living in a lawless world where anything can happen in a baseball game. The Pirates will try to...

Bedard gets on the board

Erik Bedard finally got some run support and was able to put it to good use, as the Bucs knocked off the Braves in a solid win on Saturday night in Atlanta. Bedard only lasted five because of a high pitch count, but that was enough for him to pick up his first Bucco win and strike out nine. He allowed one run, but–similar to A.J. Burnett last night–it is SO nice to see...

Bedard is the Biggest Loser

Poor Erik Bedard. The man has posted a very respectable 2.63 ERA, but leads the Majors in losses with 4. 4 starts, 4 losses. This is what happens when you pitch for the Majors' worst offense. The Pittsburgh Pirates should be ashamed. He's currently on pace for 43 losses. Congratulations Erik Bedard, you are the biggest loser.
