  • Johan Oviedo shuts out Kansas City Royals in Pittsburgh Pirates win

    Johan Oviedo shuts out Kansas City Royals in Pittsburgh Pirates win
    Aug 30 2023

    Johan Oviedo accomplished something that is rare for the Pittsburgh Pirates and MLB. His complete game shutout of the Kansas City Royals shows why Oviedo is a big part of the Pirates future. The game also showed a weakness for the Pirates.


    That weakness is the Pirates hitting approach and it is time for Andy Haines to go. The Pirates lack of success at the plate with their young hitters is also a problem when you consider the Cincinnati Reds have a team full of young players succeeding.

    Pirates and Nationals in a WHIPLASH Series
    Apr 16 2026
    Pittsburgh Pirates fans ride a roller coaster of emotions as a wild series against the Washington Nationals sparks debate over Don Kelly’s game management and lineup choices. After a commanding 16-5 victory and a narrow 5-4 loss, calls for drastic changes and critique of the 26th roster spot ignite. Gary Morgan spotlights standout pitching performances from Carmen Mlodzinski, Mason Montgomery’s opener role, and clutch moments from Ryan O’Hearn and Bryan Reynolds as the Pirates showcase their versatility on the mound and at the plate. Key topics include questions around Nick Yorke pinch-hitting for Brandon Lowe with bases loaded, handling of top prospects like Konnor Griffin, and lingering concerns over Jose Urquidy’s bullpen role. Morgan examines the Pirates’ organizational depth amid Indianapolis struggles, the impact of coaching changes, and how Bill Murphy’s calming influence might reshape the rotation. The show closes with a touching tribute to Jackie Robinson’s legacy, underscoring baseball’s ongoing pursuit of inclusion and fairness.Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
