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...
Pirates 12, Yankees 5
This one featured offense from... well, just about everybody: Doug Mientkiewicz, Adam LaRoche, Nyjer Morgan, the trainer, the batboy, the vendor behind the backstop with the rad retro threads... Still, it was a minor miracle that the Yankees weren't able to make a game of this one, since Tom...
Pirates to Recall Nyjer Morgan
Nyjer Morgan is returning to the Bucs, the Post-Gazette reports. The article suggests that the reason is because Xavier Nady will be heading to the DL, and that seems likely, since Morgan has done nothing at Indianapolis to warrant a promotion; he has a .559 OPS there. Ryan Doumit is likely to...
Some Notes and Observations
-P- As expected, the Bucs shipped Bryan Bullington back to Indianapolis. They will probably recall Marino Salas tomorrow. Bullington had been up for a couple weeks but hadn't even pitched, in part because the starting pitching has been decent and not a lot of mop-up work has been required. -P- The...
Nationals 7, Pirates 6
This game started swimmingly, with Paul Maholm racking up one- and two-pitch outs against the weak-hitting Nationals. The Bucs grabbed three quick runs in the first inning after an RBI groundout by Freddy Sanchez and a two-run jack by Ryan Doumit. The Bucs even caught quite a break -- Jason Bay was...
Pirates Uncomfortable Throwing to Paulino
The Post-Gazette: There is no sign that the lunatics are running the asylum, but it should not be dismissed that the Pirates' pitchers -- unwittingly, in most cases -- played a role in management's decision to keep Raul Chavez and demote Ronny Paulino. There had been a sense most of the...
Diamondbacks 3, Pirates 1
Well, Brandon Webb took a no-hitter into the sixth, which tells you a lot of what you need to know about this game. Ian Snell did at least rack up strikeouts; his control was all over the place, but his stuff looked good. Unfortunately, he walked off the mound after the fifth visibly wincing and...
Ryan Doumit Out a Month; Evan Meek Stays with Bucs
Ryan Doumit will be out at least a month, the Post-Gazette reports. That doesn't surprise me -- yesterday, some were reporting ten days, which seemed overly optimistic for a fracture, even a minor one. The Bucs also swung a deal with the Rays to keep Rule 5 pick Evan Meek, who'd cleared waivers...
Pirates Place Ryan Doumit on DL
Ryan Doumit has been placed on the DL with a broken thumb. Raul Chavez has been recalled to take his place on the roster. Obviously, this is bad for any number of reasons -- Doumit was a very productive hitter, and now we're going to have a couple weeks to get reacquainted with Ronny Paulino....
A Look at the Standings
The Pirates have allowed more runs than any team in the National League. If you'd told me before the season started that was going to happen, I wouldn't have been surprised. I would have been surprised, though, that the Bucs would be tied for third in the NL in runs scored. That's remarkable, and...
