Brandon Inge

While Detroit Lion Ndamukong Suh was taking selfies with octipi and riding the zamboni during intermission of the Red Wings versus Blackhawks playoff game Thursday night, former Detroit Tiger Brandon Inge was skating a different tune.

Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.  Not something we Pirates fans are used to.  Did the Pirates win or did the E-stros lose? Regardless a win is a win and I still want my sweep. Who better to send out there for Game 2 than A.J. Burnett?  I...

Maybe a win against the Astros should have been easier and faster, but in the end the Astros handed it over.  An error allowed the Pirates to win, 5-4.  It was a weird game all around, one that saw Brandon Inge play 1st base and a homerun into the...

Earlier today I gave Clint Hurdle a ton of props for his bullpen usage against the Brewers. The Pirates really managed the bullpen well last night. — Rich (@shamtown) May 15, 2013 I’d imagine the only unavailable pitcher last night would be M...

After last night’s loss the Pirates are on track. On track for what?  One of two things.  The first is another disappointing series against the Brewers.  The second, and the one I’m hanging my hat on, is another four game series win.

Francisco Liriano made his Pirates debut today and was far better than expected.  He pitched 5 and one-third innings, giving up just one run.  Jordy Mercer hit 2 homeruns and Jose Tabata was 4-for-5 as the Pirates beat the Mets for the second day i...

Pedro Alvarez drove in 2 runs for the Pirates tonight, but it wasn’t enough as they dropped game one of the four-game series with the Mets, 3-2. After a combined hitless inning and a half by both starting pitchers, Jeff Locke got himself into s...

Today’s rubber game of a 3-game series against the Nationals started with a Pirates lead, stayed close for most of the game, but ultimately ended in a 6-2 loss.  Gio Gonzalez took the win while Wandy Rodriguez received the loss. Wandy put the...

Another day, another series not lose.  The boys can win themselves another this afternoon.  Impressive. Mark Melancon is on pace to pitch 100 innings.  Gold. Jason Grilli leads the league in saves. Brandon Inge has put two good games together in...

Currently Clint Barmes is hitting .111/.143/.185.  Our other shortstop is a guy named John McDonald.  McDonald is basically a defensive replacement.  He has just six plate appearances.  John McDonald is hitting. 000.  He’s always  been pr...
