The Pirates’ New McCutchen
Perhaps the Pirates are just doing their thing. You know, the thing from the last couple of years where they start out hot despite no one having them as contenders. The thing were they inspire writers to start writing about them. The thing where they might even make some sort of minor trade near the break to push them over the top. The thing where they collapse in the second half...

Jonathan Sanchez and the Los Angeles Dodgers have reached an agreement on a contract pending a physical. Sanchez was released by the Pittsburgh Pirates earlier this month after he was wildly ineffective.

What this means for the Pirates is that the Dodgers assume a pro-rated portion of the league minimum salary for Sanchez...
Dirty Sanchez Blue
What I think about Jonathan Sanchez:
He’s the guy who makes people who say “You can’t teach stuff!” look bad.
There has never been any doubting Sanchez’s talent and ability, or his ceiling. But he almost never hits it.
What’s worse, with the Giants, he came close enough often enough to keep the Giants in a bad situation.
Sure, he threw the no-hitter in 2009, which was...
Game 38: Brewers 5 Pirates 1
I guess the Pirates owed the universe one after Jonathan Sanchez beat Kris Medlen and Jeanmar Gomez beat Matt Harvey.
Marco Estrada's biggest problem this year has been giving up home runs. The Pirates didn't hit any tonight.
Gah. The Pirates being unable to beat the Brewers is the most annoying thing in sports.
Pirates Release Jonathan Sanchez
The Pittsburgh Pirates have released pitcher Jonathan Sanchez after he cleared waivers. In four starts and one relief appearance for Pittsburgh this season, he went 0-3, 11.85, giving up 25 hits and eight walks in just 13.2 innings. The Pirates designated him for assignment on April 30th.
The Pirates will be responsible for the remainder of his $1.375M contract if no other team signs...
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Milwaukee Brewers – Game 28
No history for the Pirates. No first place either. Awwww. Cheer up Panda. At least we have no Jonathan Sanchez also! I don’t even know what to say. I’m so damn sick of the Brewers. Even after Russell Martin caught them stealing signs they just murdered the Pirates. I don’t even want to watch…
Pittsburgh Pirates Designate Pitcher Jonathan Sanchez
The Pittsburgh Pirates have designated pitcher Jonathan Sanchez for assignment. Struggling mightily all season, his final straw was throwing at St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Allen Craig. His suitors will be thin and it just goes to show that if you are struggling, you shouldn’t give the source of your good income a great reason to get rid of you.
The post Pittsburgh Pirates...
Pirates Designate Jonathan Sanchez For Assignment
Another failed Neal Huntington love story. He likes to go on expensive dates as Jonathan Sanchez will end up costing the Pittsburgh Pirates $1.375 million. No small amount when added into the total he has wasted on no talent, washed up, garbage. To take his spot in the bullpen the Pirates have called up Bryan…
Pirates designate Jonathan Sanchez for assignment
The Pittsburgh Pirates have designated Jonathan Sanchez for assignment. On Monday he allowed two runs in 2 1/3 innings of relief.
During Sanchez’s five appearances for the Pirates this year he compiled a 11.85 ERA and a 15/8 K/BB ratio. Sanchez was recently suspended for six games after throwing at Cardinals first basemen Allen Craig.
There is little reason to believe that Sanchez...
Pirates DFA Jonathan Sanchez, Recall Bryan Morris

The Pittsburgh Pirates have designated Jonathan Sanchez for assignment and have recalled Bryan Morris. The move is likely to be a temporary one for Morris, for reasons I listed in last night’s First Pitch. The club will have Jose Contreras, Francisco Liriano, and Charlie Morton returning in the next...

Pirates Minor Leaguer Uses Newspaper Misprint to Pull Prank on Mother (Photos)
Pittsburgh Pirates farmhand Tony Sanchez may not rank in most lists of the team’s top 10 prospects, but, if the subject is humor, he’s got can’t-miss potential.
On Sunday, Major League Baseball announced a six-game suspension to Pirates starter Jonathan Sanchez for throwing at the Cardinals’ Allen Craig. However, when the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s story on the suspension...
Newspaper uses Tony Sanchez’s picture for Jonathan Sanchez suspension, leads to hilarious prank on mother
Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Jonathan Sanchez was given a six-game suspension on Saturday for throwing at St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Allen Craig. The Pittsburgh Post Gazette ran a story about the incident, but they got the wrong Sanchez. Instead of featuring a picture of the MLB pitcher, the newspaper included a photo of Pirates catching prospect Tony Sanchez. The falsely accused...
First Pitch: What to do About Jonathan Sanchez in the Short-Term?
Jonathan Sanchez has at least one more start before Francisco Liriano returns. Photo credit: David Hague
Francisco Liriano had a great start on Thursday. He threw five innings for Indianapolis, allowing one run on four hits, with no walks and eight strikeouts.
Jonathan Sanchez didn’t have a good start on Friday. He was ejected from his start after allowing two homers in the first...
Pirates' Sanchez suspended 6 games
Pittsburgh Pirates left-hander Jonathan Sanchez has been suspended by Major League Baseball for six games and fined for hitting Allen Craig with a pitch in the first inning against the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday.
Sanchez gave up two home runs and a single to start the inning before hitting Craig in the shoulder. Umpire Tim Timmons immediately ejected Sanchez before tossing Pirates...
Jonathan Sanchez Suspended Six Games for Throwing Near Allen Craig’s Head (Video)
Jonathan Sanchez issued a major league-leading 96 walks in 2010, so he has a reputation of being a bit wild. The league obviously feels there was more than a lack of control involved in Friday’s incident.
Sanchez has been suspended six games and fined an undisclosed amount of money for throwing at Cardinals first baseman Allen Craig in the first inning of Friday night’s game...
Pirates pitcher Sanchez suspended six games for beaning
Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Jonathan Sanchez has been suspended for six games by Major League Baseball after he hit Allen Craig with a pitch in Friday’s loss to St. Louis.
Sanchez began the game by allowing back-to-back home runs to Matt Carpenter and Carlos Beltran. After giving up a single to Matt Holliday the 30-year-old pitcher had enough and hit Allen Craig with a pitch.
With...
The blackout zone
The Pirates play at 4:15 PM EDT today, which means that unless you live in Pittsburgh or St. Louis, you have no chance of seeing them play due to the Saturday Blackout. Last night did not go well for the Pirates, obviously. Jonathan Sanchez faced four batters, retired none, and got thrown out. Clint Hurdle got thrown out protesting Sanchez's ejection (obviously arguing that there...
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. St. Louis Cardinals – Game 24
Jonathan Sanchez is in the bullpen today. The fact that he is still on this team is outrageous to me. Not only is he terrible, he completely screwed the bullpen for the rest of this series. Sanchez should not get another start. Sanchez should not have the opportunity to stay on as a reliever. Phil…
Freaky Friday for guys called Sanchez
It was a Freaky Friday for Mark Sanchez , as the Jets QB had flashbacks of last spring, when a big-name QB was headed to town to take his job.
Last year it was Tim Tebow. This year it's Geno Smith, the equally enigmatic QB whom the Jets drafted with the 39th pick , setting off a storm of sentiment that Sanchez is headed out of New York .
The mock tweets were flowing soon after...
Sanchez Ejected in 1st, Walker Hurt as Pirates Lose 9-1
Jonathan Sanchez has allowed 16 runs in 11.1 innings. Photo credit: David Hague
If Jonathan Sanchez has made his final appearance with the Pittsburgh Pirates, what a way to go out.
Home run, home run, single, hit by pitch, ejection.
Ejecting Jonathan Sanchez because you think he was throwing at a batter’s head on purpose is like yelling at a cloud for raining on you. Occupational...
A Night of Ingejustice in St. Louis
Jonathan Sanchez lasted, well, not an inning. He didn’t even manage to get an out. The Pirates found themselves in an early hole that only grew deeper as they were unable to climb out of it. Jonathan Sanchez started tonight’s game. He gave up a leadoff homerun to Matt Carpenter. Then he gave up a…
Cardinals 9, Pirates 1
This game was extremely frustrating for a number of reasons. The Pirates fell behind as quickly as possible, couldn’t get back in it despite numerous chances, and once again came out on the wrong side of a semi-beanball battle.
Jonathan Sanchez has to be done as a Pirate. Has to be. Today he took his awfulness to a whole new level, and there’s no reason at this point to give...
