Nate McLouth Wins Gold Glove
Wow, I didn't see that coming. The last Pirate to receive the Rawlings Gold Glove award was shortstop Jay Bell in 1993. Center fielder Andy Van Slyke received it in 1992. That's right--Nate McLouth has a Gold Glove. Jack Wilson has none. McLouth's memorable throw in the All-Star game probably...
Stolen Bases: Not the Pirates' Problem
This almost offends me, it's so silly: One of the glaring statistics that jumped out at me with the two teams in the World Series this year was their ability to steal bases. With Andrew McCutchen coming up and Nyjer Morgan's speed, is there going to be pressure from management on the coaches to...
Bucs Dugout/WHYGAVS Crossover: Planning the Offseason
With the offseason upon us, Pat at WHYGAVS and I are combing through the Pirates' roster and describing our ideal offseason. This post deals with the starting lineup. CATCHER: Ryan Doumit Bucs Dugout: Like Nate McLouth, Doumit isn't old, but he isn't particularly young either; he just seems to be...
Nate McLouth's Defense
There's been a lot of talk today--here at Bucs Dugout, at the PBC Blog, and at WHYGAVS, about this article at Baseball Think Factory that says that Nate McLouth has been fielding "terribly" this year. Baseball Think Factory is a great site, but I'd take all this with a grain of salt. Fielding...
Very Quickly...
I didn't say a whole lot about what I actually think of the trade because I was so tired and hungry after several hours of frantically checking websites and grading papers that I just wasn't up for it, and I still don't have time for anything too complex--by the time you read this, I'll have...
Pirates 8, Rockies 4
Vlad was actually one of the pierogies in tonight's race. I'll let him describe it. Ian Snell recovered from a spotty first inning and got his first win since... well, at least the Carter administration. It didn't hurt that Valerio de los Santos started the game, making his first big-league...
Nate McLouth
Still awesome!
Pirates 12, Cardinals 11
I don't have time to really write this up properly right now, but if you've got MLB.tv, you need to watch this one. This was the most exciting Pirates game in years. Yoslan Herrera was about as expected--his breaking ball isn't bad, and his changeup is downright good, but his fastball is straight...
Pirates 4, Yankees 2
I was at that first Mike Mussina- Paul Maholm matchup, the one that got delayed by rain, and it wasn't much fun--not only because we sat for hours in a very hot, wet, crowded park before the game was eventually called, but because Maholm was off to a terrible start, giving up three runs in the...
The Thigh Bone's Connected To The Knee Bone, And...
Hey Z! Next time you're pissed at yourself for striking out, don't break the bat over your knee!!! Seriously. It was, I suppose, sort of funny at the time and provoked a huge cheer from the sellout crowd of 41,686 (largest of the year so far), but Carlos Zambrano, who didn't have his best stuff...
