2015 Pittsburgh Pirates Thread

[The Snapshot]

Really like the Aramis retrieval. He's still a good bat for the bench and rotation on the left side once Mercer and Harrison return. This gives them flexibility to move Harrison around as well.

Having Ishikawa and Ramirez as righty/left options off the bench if we return to good health is a nice upgrade for post-season. Those are better bats than they have had sitting for a long time. If they can move Pedro for a legit 1st baseman that would be great. Getting another outfielder who could play right field and hit may work too, if the are stuck with Pedro and decide to play Ishikawa more there.

Not sure when Hart when on the DL for his 60 days, but if he were to come back that is another nice bat off the bench.

It's ok for Aramis Ramirez to not swing at the first pitch.

[thehockeyguru]

They have to move Alvarez. Its all but certain the Pirates will be playing in the WC game again, which means we will face a lefty. Aramis will start at 3B in all likelihood and if Harrison is healthy I would start him at 2B in place of Walker or in RF.

It would make sense for them to go after a RF and a 1B who can hit lefties well.

They definitely need to go get Lind now if only to keep him from the Cards who are rumored to be trying to trade for him. :fist:

[PenGator88]

Charlie with a tough B1. Hopefully, he can settle down. Need some hits and runs.

[PenGator88]

Fit to be tied, but the Bucs could have had at least three runs in the 5th.

[PenGator88]

Has Ramirez had a hit yet?

[PenGator88]

Holy heck...MATW torched for four runs in the 8th. Tie game. Ugh.

For SS Jacoby Jones

[PenGator88]

WDF is going on with AJ? He's been hit hard his last two starts.

[PenGator88]

Jeez--how I hate the Reds.

[PenGator88]

This is starting to feel like that game vs. the Nats on Saturday...ugh.

It's been more than just 2 starts. He's hitting a wall...

[PenGator88]

Eff this. Time to do something less frustrating than watching this BS. Go Rockies.

Rest him. And somewhere, Vance Worley is at Deolis Guerra. Hell, we all are.

What a lousy birthday present for Hurdle.

They're up 2 on the Cards in the bot 8th in St. Louis, but the Cards have the tying run (hey, it's Brandon Moss) at the plate.

LOL. Bot 9th: Still 8-6 Rockies. Cards have bases loaded, no one out, Axford is wild, and Peralta is at the plate. It'll be a miracle if the Rockies pull out a win. Aaaaaannnnd the Cards tie it. Of course.

Yep, Cards win.

[pens2005]

And there go the Cardinals scoring 3 in the bottom of the 9th to cap a wonderful evening of baseball for the Buccos.

Axford helped for sure.
