MICHAEL MCKENRY RUMORS
Buccos call it a comeback vs. Mets
The Pirates rallied for a 5-4 win over the Mets last night thanks in large part to great pitching out of the bull pen, a Michael McKenry homer, and a lucky Neil Walker triple off of an error in left center field.
Erik Bedard got the start and lasted 5 innings, giving up 6 hits and 4 earned runs, all of which came in the second inning. I didn’t think the Bucs had a chance...

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. New York Mets – Game 43
A gutty win? Homeruns? Offense? Great work from the bullpen? That is everything the Pirates had last night. It looked bleak, but the Pirates chipped away and got the job done. Michael McKenry is basically going to be a lifelong Pirate if he keeps this up. First Pitch: 7:05 PM EST Where to Watch: Root [...]

Michael McKenry Homers As Los Angeles Dodgers Complete Sweep of Pittsburgh Pirates
The most telling statistic of the Pittsburgh Pirates’ young season: The Bucs scored two runs in last nights loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers… and raised their runs-per-game average.
The team’s offense thus far has been horrendous. Nine runs scored in six games won’t win very much, and the team’s early 2-4 record shows it.
Admittedly, the Pirates have...

Fort should protect the Pirates’ plate
We love Michael McKenry; ever since he gave the Pirates another option behind the plate that wasn’t named Doumit or Jaramillo, we’ve wanted to see Fort do well. He was quietly solid last year and even though he didn’t throw out an insane number of base stealers, he was the kind of guy you wanted blocking the plate for the Bucs – even if certain umpires did...

McKenry Focused on Getting Better Today
BRADENTON — Last season was a struggle at the plate for catcher Michael McKenry. Over 58 games with the Pirates in 2011, McKenry, nicknamed “The Fort”, hit .222 with 17 runs, 12 doubles, two homers and 11 RBI.
But this offseason, McKenry has been working hard to improve his game at the plate.
After spring training with the Colorado Rockies, McKenry was traded to...

McKenry doesn't want to be a one-hit wonder
Michael McKenry was the author of perhaps PNC Park's greatest single moment when his three-run home run early in July beat the Chicago Cubs and vaulted the Pirates to heights unseen since Barry Bonds was skinny.

Around the Horn: Catchers
As the Pirates survey their catching options for 2012, the landscape is certainly quite different than it was a year ago. Rod Barajas will likely get two-thirds of the starts, with Michael McKenry serving as the backup.

Ryan Doumit vs. Michael McKenry
Ryan Doumit is a hot topic this Pirates offseason. There is very little doubt in my mind that Doumit has played his last game with the Pirates, but that is not going to stop me from talking about him. I have had the argument of Doumit vs. Michael McKenry a few times. Lots of fans say they would rather have McKenry on the team because of his defensive ability (and the lack of Doumit...
