Hammond Stadium…Very nice Park. Wish I was there.
Anymore info on the Bucs looking for pitching?
Your thoughts on Pedro? Does he look any different mentally this year? What about with he bat? Your prediction on his year? He is the key.
Go Bucs!
Killing Doyle.
DK, I’ll be interested in your opinion of Navarro.
DK: Too soon. Good contact so far. One-handed single today.
10-0 top of the first….jeez! is that right???
does any website cover the live game action?

A double steal and four runs, reyes can’t live with the prosperity
Could someone please call JoJo Reyes a cab. To the nearest airport.
Maybe he and Terry Doyle can share one.
Hague takes one out
Dumatrait may want to hitch a ride in that cab, too. D-Mac brought some order to it, but Phil’s pitching his way out of Minneapolis-St.Paul, too.
Can someone tell me what would stop Matt Hague from staying with the club.
He is continuing his strong spring.
Maybe we need to start a Hague2012 campaign. Lol.
Free Matt Hague!
His playing time will send him to AAA.
Casey Fossum too. I remembered him when he was mentioned yesterday. He only pitched for them in spring training 2008. Hopefully Jo-Jo Reyes walks the dog soon.
Juan Cruz on the other hand was a good signing. He is a righty who is tough on lefties.
The Hague !
Matt Hague gets the reverse Jeff Clement treatment.
Ho-hum–another inning by Cruz, another 3 outs.
We can stand as many of those ho-hums as he can ring up, JAL.
@Milo- got nothing…….
Jones with 2 run shot–14-4
Definitely hold that cab for Dumatrait. Jones just took him out, too.
I remember Cruz was once very highly regarded by the Cubs. Maybe this will prove to be a stellar off season pick up.
Pirates have 6 doubles and 3 HR through 5 innings
Lets hope they don’t need one of those huge van style cabs hotels have to shuttle people to the airport!
I think Hague & Harrison should make the team. Both have hit well in the minors, and are hitting well in ST.
Just noticed that Josh Harrison was playing SS. If he shows he can play there he is the utility infielder and that opens another spot on the roster.
Harrison will probably make the team because of his versatility. Hague, maybe called up later, I doubt they’d keep him right out of ST.
@Ryan
Just go to mlb.com & on the upper left click on scoreboard.
yea, takes me to the final world series game.
fixed……..stupid internet
Send Leroux on that bus too.
Leroux is out of options. They’ll have to trade him or lose him (or find some mysterious injury for him).
Score update please? I don’t have access to any outside websites for the score – just the Trib scoreboard and its about a half-day behind in updating!
DK: Would you believe 17-6 for the visitors, middle eighth?
fine by me….never been a fan.
Pirates have 17 runs on 19 hits
Wow…!! Thanks for the update DK/JAL – it really is a bummer to be in the middle of PA with no access to the games -
Remains 17-6 going to the 9th.
UNC Ashville leads Syracuse 34-30 at the half. Still a long way to go.
Kevin- You probably could’ve stopped at “middle of Pa”
Bottom of 9th Slaten pitching.
Final
Pirates 17 Twins 6
LOL Ryan – you are correct, sir!!
game over…awesome.
did u do a chat today? i can never find them when they are done
Clark,
He was too busy hob-knobbing with the boys of summer. (Was going to do it from the clubhouse but it didn’t turn out).
Chat was moved to Monday – scheduling conflict (a.k.a. hob-knobbing)
Dejan, you are the bucco’s hitting mojo. If this keeps up they will have to sign you to sit on the bench! enjoy the ride!
Hey Dejan,
The paper across the river has an article today, saying basically ‘don’t worry about Evan Meek.’ I know you don’t read other’s stuff, so I’m not asking you to comment.
Yet I do want to know about Meek. It seems to me he SHOULD worry. I do not see him making this staff out of Spring Training. His velocity seems down and he is giving up a lot of base runners.
Could you either on blog or in an article give us an update about Meek. With Grilli, D. McCutcheon, Chris Resop, Cruz, Tony Watson, &/or maybe another lefty [Wilson?] backing up Hanrahan, I don’t see room for a less than dominant Evan Meek! From your eyes to our ears . . . . . .
