Re: Official Pirates Thread - Loss to Manatee CC

The Pirates lost to Manatee Community College today in the annual spring exhibition game. I honestly have no idea what to day...for years the MCC game has been a bit of a joke, allowing the Buccos to beat up on a team for at least a day. There were no major leaguers for the Pirates, but the lineup included the majority of the Pirates top prospects, including McCutchen, Tabata, Walker, and Steve Pearce.

Re: Official Pirates Thread - Loss to Manatee CC

Manatee used a different pitcher every inning. the hitters never got a chance to see the same pitcher twice. yes this is bad but at least they kept it close :twisted: .

on a happy note the opening day players beat the Reds 6-5 .

Ahh, the split squad team that lost to Manatee featured a lot of youngsters.

Anybody see that Negrych had a couple of hits with the big club a couple days back? I have hopes for him!

Re: Official Pirates Thread - Loss to Manatee CC

Obviously the game is meaningless, and the roster was a mix of AA and AAA players...none the I am a bit saddened by the loss of the opportunity to continue making Manatee CC jokes.

On slightly more meaningful note, how scared do the starting pitchers have to be at a bullpen of Yates, Veal, Hansen, and possibly Meek. While thing all 4 have decent potential, there may not be many pitches making it over the plate in the middle innings.

Zach Duke making the start tonight!

Hopefully Duke can get things together and give us a solid 3 starter. I find it hard to believe this team will be able to content until the pitching quality and depth improves significantly.

By the way, Dave, I got a fanpack in the mail today with a Wilson postcard. Thanks again for the email address

Going to the game Apr 14, vs Astros. Gotta love Buck Night.

Zach should be the #2 starter on the Pirates.

[nikateen]

Mclouth having one heck of a game.

 

[jjj7880]

Dang Grabow took care of business!

 

[pghbuccos]

not a good showing by Yates :evil:

 

[pghbuccos]

the Bucs are 2-1 and Capps has 2 saves in 2 chances.

 

[jjj7880]

Strong outing by Duke too

 

[pghbuccos]

yes it was James. he looked just as good as he has all Spring. I think he is going to have a strong season.

I was going to go to the game tonight too, its only a 3 hour drive. Military gets in for free too in St. Louis... If it were only on the weekend...

If JR continues to use Yates in a set-up role, it could make the 7th-8th innings very rough, especially when/if Grabow is dealt.
