MATT HAGUE RUMORS & GOSSIP
Burnett, Bucs “collect” big win
The Bucs got yet another outstanding effort from the pitching staff, allowing Matt Hague‘s big hit to be the difference in an excellent 2-1 win.
The matchup of A.J. Burnett and Johnny Cueto turned out as advertised. The Reds struck for a quick run against Burnett in the first thanks to a leadoff double, a Pedro Alvarez error, and a sac-fly, but Burnett shut them down after...

Pirates beat Cubs on walk-off plunk
Matt Hague never dreamed his first winning RBI in the majors would feel like this.
His initial reaction? More pain than jubilation.
After all, taking a 96 mph fastball in the side can hurt.
Hague was hit by a pitch from Rafael Dolis with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning, and the Pittsburgh Pirates sent the Chicago Cubs to their 11th straight loss with a 3-2 victory...

Matt Hague is in, NATE McLOUTH IS OUT
Nasty Nate 2.0 lasted just 44 games. Not quite what we had in mind when he re-signed with the Pirates back in December. Seriously, we were really expecting big things from him back in the Burgh. The Buccos just designated Nate McLouth for assignment to make room on the roster for Matt Hague.
We can’t say we didn’t see this coming; If you thought the .182 Nate hit in...

Pirates 1B Matt Hague playing waiting game

Even Hague had to appreciate the irony.
The 26-year-old is hoping his promising spring will result in a roster spot when the clubs cut to 25 players on Wednesday. Yet even his eye-popping numbers may not keep him from being a victim of the numbers...
