KEVIN CORREIA RUMORS

Could Charlie Morton be the odd man out?

Jeff Karstens will be making another rehab start in AAA on Thursday. That will be his second start with Indy, so I’d have to think he’ll be returning to the Pirates in a week or so. If Karstens can be anything close to what he was last season, he’ll provide a boost to the already-strong Pirates’ rotation. But right now it’s not clear who will he be replacing...

Walk-off hit (by pitch) collector

For the second straight night, the Cubs managed to out-do the Pirates in terms of ineptitude, resulting in another Pirate win and Chicago’s 11th straight loss. The, um, “intriguing” pitching matchup of Paul Maholm and Kevin Correia didn’t jump-start either offense, but both teams were at least able to get some early runs on the board. The Pirates struck twice...

Marlins smoke Correia like Fidel Castro’s cigar

Welp, you can add Josh Johnson to the list of starting pitchers that the Pirates have welcomed back to the win column this year. They already handed Tim Hudson his first win since last year, then Adam Wainwright picked up his first win since 2010 and last night Josh Johnson won his first game since last April thanks to a 6-2 beat down that the Marlins’ loaded offense put...

It's time to take Kevin Correia out of the rotation

This is what's happened in Kevin Correia's last four starts: 22 innings, 12 walks, four strikeouts, four home runs. He failed to get out of the fifth inning in one start. He failed to get out of the fourth inning last night, which was one night after Brad Lincoln turned in a solid spot start against the Marlins and two days after Rudy Owens tossed eight strong innings in...

Marlins’ five-run 4th inning dooms Pirates

Final: Marlins 6, Pirates 2 WP: Josh Johnson (1-3, 5.36 ERA) LP: Kevin Correia (1-4, 4.50 ERA) The Pirates grabbed an early lead with a run in the 1st inning, but Kevin Correia quickly relinquished that lead and then the wheels came off in the 4th inning when he gave up five runs before being removed from the game. The Pirates added a run in the 7th with a solo homer by Michael McKenry...

Correia crumbles

The Pirates’ quest for .500 fell short on Tuesday night, as the Marlins roughed up Kevin Correia and earned a split of the two game set down in Miami. Correia had an ugly outing, and the questions about his future in the rotation have already started (especially with Brad Lincoln‘s strong outing on Monday). We’ll see what will happen next time his turn comes around...

Betting - Strasburg Equals Value Today

Record 4-5 Bank Account: -275 Nats at Pirates - Strasburg and Harper take on the Pirates and a very solid YTD pitcher in Kevin Correia. The Pirates are a value today as a big home dog at +150. Correia is 1-2 with a respectable 3.38 ERA. The tricky part is the Nats have lost three straight so this appears to favor the Nats which I can't say it doesn't. I am looking at this...

Why the 2012 Pirates can do what the 2011 Pirates could not

Remember how last summer felt? In all my years as a Pirates fan, it was probably the most fun that I have ever had following this team. After 100 games, the Bucs were sitting pretty in 1st place at 53-47. The reason? The pitching. The Pirates entire starting rotation was experiencing success that no one had ever expected. Jeff Karstens was among the league leaders in ERA. Kevin Correia...

Kevin Correia to start Monday

It appears RHP Kevin Correia will start Monday for #Pirates v. #Rockies, weather permitting. — Rob Biertempfel (@BiertempfelTrib) April 22, 2012 Kevin Correia was scratched from his start last night due to soreness in his side. He seems to be ok and will start Monday. Brad Lincoln, who would have started the game had Correia been unavailable, will stay in the bullpen for the time being.
