And he's not doing it, so.....<br /><br />Pedro probably could use some AAA time, but with the O as is here, he's not likely to get any. Maybe the time in Florida will help him get his swing back in sync.Ron Ieracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784507810080514099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-81069583425891118762011-06-08T11:21:43.297-04:002011-06-08T11:21:43.297-04:00Hmmm, you've obviously closed the book on Garr...Hmmm, you've obviously closed the book on Garrett Jones. Given how little he's played of late, I'd say Hurdle has had enough of him, too. A shame, and Jones will go down as one of the all time great minor league free agent signings ever, but as you say, it appears that the league has caught up with him and that he doesn't have an answer. <br /><br /><br /><br />As for Pearce and Alvarez, believe it or not I have more confidence in Pearce right now than in Pedro. I think Pedro was rushed to the bigs and that he's simply not ready. The best thing for him would be to go back down to Indy, play every day for 6 weeks, get into a groove, then come back to Pittsburgh and hit the ground running after Overbay is traded at the deadline.WilliamJPellashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774466220683142262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-67626443473223040832011-06-04T15:40:25.763-04:002011-06-04T15:40:25.763-04:00Yah, Will, I'll say this for Hurdle: he keeps ...Yah, Will, I'll say this for Hurdle: he keeps them going a game at a time. I thought that six game losing streak would burst their bubble, but they've come back from that abyss. As long as the pitching holds up, they'll be competitive. <br /><br />Too bad about the black holes at first, third, and right. It'll be nice to get Pedro and Pearce back sometime and get Presley in the show.Ron Ieracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784507810080514099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-67599857505633960182011-06-04T10:57:10.908-04:002011-06-04T10:57:10.908-04:00Wow.

One extreme to the other!<br /><br /><br />This was as well pitched a game as the Pirates have shown us in a long, long time. Great win against one of the real National League heavyweights. Very encouraging!WilliamJPellashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774466220683142262noreply@blogger.com
