ROD BARAJAS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Game 35: Pirates 3 Marlins 2

The Pirates won tonight. Brad Lincoln threw six solid innings, Rod Barajas hit a home run, Pedro Alvarez had a huge double in a tie game in the top of the sixth, and the bullpen was great. After the sixth inning, the Pirates got three runners on base. One of them was Rod Barajas, who lead off the seventh with a double. He was thrown out going from second to third when Clint Barmes...

Barajas' first homer -- and first two RBI -- come on walk-off blast

No player at any position on any team could possibly have been struggling more than Rod Barajas. The Pittsburgh Pirates' beleaguered catcher was batting .127 with no home runs, no RBI and seemingly no end in sight as he stepped into the box Tuesday night with two outs in the ninth and Alex Presley on third base, Pittsburgh trailing the Washington Nationals by a run. Then...

Barajas saves his life with a walk-off homer

AJ Burnett made it pretty obvious last night that he doesn’t want the Pirates to throw him in the trash the way the Yankees did after he gave up 12 runs in less than three innings in his last start. Well, it was pretty hard not to forgive the guy after he pitched eight innings against the Nationals last night and struck out while just giving up two runs in the Buccos 5-4 win...

Old Friends Rod Barajas, A.J. Burnett Fuel Dramatic Walk-Off Win for Pittsburgh Pirates

In what proved to be the most exciting game of the 2012 season for the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Bucs defeated the Washington Nationals 5-4 on Tuesday night. Plenty of storylines resulted from last night’s game, but I’ll start with center fielder Andrew McCutchen, who hit his first home run of the year tonight off Nationals starter Edwin Jackson. McCutchen has been dealing...

Duda's RBI single in 7th leads Mets past Phillies

Rod Barajas hit a two-run homer off Washington closer Henry Rodriguez with two outs in the ninth to lift the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 5-4 victory on Tuesday night. The veteran catcher, mired in a season-long slump, drilled a shot down the left field line that sailed a few rows into the seats for his first home run and RBIs of the year. The Nationals went ahead 4-3 after Adam LaRoche...

Pirates, Rod Barajas walk it off in the 9th

Final: Pirates 5, Nationals 4 WP: Tony Watson (2-0, 6.00 ERA) LP: Henry Rodriguez (1-2, 2.84 ERA) It looked like the Pirates had wasted a spectacular start from A.J. Burnett. Going into the 9th inning, the Bucs held a 3-2 lead over the Nats thanks to an eight inning, two run, ten strikeout performance from their starter. Joel Hanrahan, however, quickly relinquished that lead with...

Barajas, Hurdle tossed in second inning

Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Rod Barajas and manager Clint Hurdle have been ejected in the second inning against the St. Louis Cardinals. Barajas threw his mask after getting tossed by home plate umpire Angel Campos, apparently for arguing after a pitch from A.J. Burnett called a ball. The pitch came with none out, two on and the Pirates down 5-1. Hurdle apparently was tossed for...

Bullpen & Barajas betray Burnett

The Pirates couldn’t get going offensively (again) and had some rare struggles on the mound as well on Friday night as they fell to the Braves and allowed six runs in a game for the first time all season. A.J. Burnett wasn’t really to blame — he pitched pretty well, going six innings and allowing two runs. He wasn’t as good as his first outing (that’...

How Many Home Runs Will Rod Barajas Hit?

The Pirates hit 107 home runs last year. That was good for 27th in the league, worse than everybody except the Twins, Astros, and Padres. Pedro Alvarez didn't have the season anybody was expecting him to, Ryan Doumit played just 77 games, and Garrett Jones went weeks at a time without showing any sign of competence at the plate.This offseason the team brought in Rod Barajas...
