Best split ever
A doubleheader split has never felt so good.
Game 1 was a typical Pirates-Brewers game. Jeff Karstens pitched pretty well, but allowed two runs in maddening fashion when he intentionally walked .174 hitter Craig Counsell to load the bases and face pitcher Chris Narveson. Narveson dumped a single into right to drive in two. He also pitched out of trouble a couple of times, as the...

The Future of the Bullpen Looks Good

The Pirates are anchored by one of the best closers in the game, Joel Hanrahan. They’ve got two capable set up men in Chris Resop and Jose Veras. Both have put up dominant strikeout...

Remember when the Pittsburgh Pirates were the feel good story Major League Baseball? Yeah, it was like a friggin' week ago.

Which Free Agents Could Get Draft Compensation?
One thing the Pittsburgh Pirates rarely see is draft pick compensation for their departing free agents. For the most part, the Pirates never really have free agents that depart after the season. They usually trade those players around the deadline for a guaranteed return, rather than holding on to the players in hopes of future draft picks, which is never a guarantee. I’...
