too lazy...

ironic that he 2 hits his former team for your first win...

Wow, this topic and DrMario's Gyroball topic have reached over 360 posts combined...

Ummm, ok... Well Some of the Pirates offensive is really smoking thanks to Burrell.

well then, nice pickup.

I'm sorry but I have to call you out here. Do not double post, you clearly tell other people not to do it and you still do it, it gets annoying, I'm sure all of us have done it a couple times but you did it again today after telling other people not to(also today). Not trying to start anything, but don't be a hypocrite.

sorry...
i can't go back and delete it though.

4/7 PIRATES ALMOST COME BACK BUT LOSE IN NINTH
Quite exciting, down 6-1 into the 8th, we get 3 back, and then in the ninth, Johnson hits a deep fly, is it gone? Nope double, then Adam LaRoche triples then we pinch hit for Doug and send in Wes Helms, but he blew it....


4/8 DUKE OUT DUELS SABATHIA, PIRATES WIN 1-0.
What a game, no one could get a hit for their lives, only 4 hit all games. But we made the most of ours.

nice try for the first game. classic pitchers' duel for the second.

[/b]4/17 AFTER MID APRIL THE PIRATES ARE A MODEST 7-8 3 BACK OF FIRST

and we had just been swept by the Brewers too.... Expect some changes for them struggling players. However it's not the bullpen or rotation losing games. Take a look

Starting 6 ERA (with execption of Snell)
Snell 8.10
Verlander 0.76
Duke 2.49
Sanchez 2.29
Volquez 2.66
Jame 1.20

Now lets look at the bullpen: (with execption of Bautista)
Waechter 0.00
Snare 1.29
Ohlendorf 3.86
Zumaya 0.00
Bautista 6.23
Broxton 1.35
Capps 2.70


I'm glad I didn't get K-Rod, Capps is doing great, really bouncing back from last years travesty of an ERA.
Heres what he said:

"I wasn't mad if we got K-Rod he's a great closer, I still would have been at ML level and that's all that matters right? I have worked on my pitchers and even added a KNCB to my aresenal, it's really paying off."

Now, it's the offense's inability to score runs that's losing us games. Burrell is the only one with over 5HR and 10RBI, but even his avg is struggling .196. Now discluding Encarnacion (.314) Avg the best other avg is .213 from Cody Ross and Adam LaRoche. This has really got to change.


SNELL 23K AREN'T ENOUGH AS REDS WALK-OFF IN 10TH

ouch

PIRATES LIE 6 GAMES BACK IN NL CENTRAL BASEMENT...

The Pirates obviously aren't playing well... Expect some changes, the offense still isn't very good, got a couple here, and then there, and the pitching is PHENOMONAL!!!!

Dang, from best to worst. I hope you can get your offense going.

same here

All you need to do is get the offence going....
Are you going to trade to make it better, or are you going to try to improve other ways?

It's a shame, beacause the pitching the amazing!!!! If the pitcher gives up one 1 run, then we might lose... We haven't given up many runs at all nor have we scored any... I am going to send up a couple players and send down some struggling ones. Now, I will be looking for a trade for Michaels, as well as maybe others.

I have my big bat(s) now I need a solid Contact hitter and Speedster to have batting 1-3.
