Francisco Liriano pitched 8 shutout innings last night in the Pirates'11-0 win over the White Sox.

For the season, Liriano has a 2.94 ERA, and an 0.956 WHIP.

The Bucs continue to hang tough in the most competitive division in baseball (the N.L. Central), as they have gone 18-5 over their last 23 games.

(vs. DODGERS, 8/09)

Big comeback win over the Dodgers on the nationally-televised Sunday Night Baseball.

A 9-run 7th inning sealed the game, as the Pirates completed a 3-game sweep of the southern Californians.

The Bucs are now 11-4 over their last 15 games, and they have the 3rd-best record in all of baseball at 65-44.

I saw some stats:

15-3 in their last 18 home games.

15-2 vs the NL West.

Jim Johnson was a major victim in that 9 run inning.

The Bucs are 17-7 in their last 24 games.

They have the 3rd-best record in the Major Leagues.

In 1980, the Orioles had the 2nd-best record in the Major Leagues (100-62), and did not make the postseason.

In 1981, the Reds had the best record in the Major Leagues (66-42), and did not make the postseason.

The 2015 Pirates may have the extra burden of having to participate in a one-game playoff, but at least they will have a ticket to the dance.

OOOOOOOOOOOOO (SEPTEMBER 14th)

The Pirates are in excellent shape heading into the final weeks of the season.

They essentially have a wildcard spot in their pocket, and they even have a reasonable shot at overtaking the Cardinals for the N.L. Central championship.

3 consecutive playoff berths for the Bucs.

Most Pirates fans probably would not have dreamed of this happening about 5 or 6 years ago.

The Pirates have a big challenge in this weekend's series with the Cubs.in Chicago. I would give the Pirates the edge Friday and Saturday, behind Cole and Liriano, but Sunday they face 20 game winner, Jake Arrieta.

Meanwhile, the Cardinals are hosting the Brewers. The Brewers have been devastating this year against the Pirates, less so against the Cardinals.

The magic number for the Cardinals is down to 6. It's possible that be the time the Cardinals go to Pittsburgh next week, the Cardinals could have clinched. That would require the Cards to sweep the Brewers while the Cubs sweep the Pirates. Unlikely, but the Cubs are hungry and will have the Wrigley faithful behind them. Of course, as much as I dislike the Cubs, you know whom I'm pulling for.

      Westburg shouldn’t be, where are you seeing that?

      So since Westburg is apparently still ROY eligible, Cowser and Westburg may project to be the best rookie combination since Fred Lynn and Jim Rice in 1975?

      John Means 2024

      By Safelykept · Posted

      There were several and I was one them. I'm  on record as saying I was one of his biggest Apologists . You should feel good about yourself as you were able to see that Means would be imploding before our very eyes( which was an opinion or a guess, which is what I did) as far as feeling bad for me? Dont I'm plenty good enough to know I wont be able to guess right every time

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.
