Congratulations to Zach Duke!
He joins the NL All Star roster to replace the injured, Matt Cain.

Who will represent the Bucs?
My vote is for Freddy Sanchez, but John Russell has been campaigning hard for Zach Duke. We’ll know within the hour.

Post Game Updates
For the first time this season, the Marlins beat the Pirates, but the Bucs probably could’ve/should’ve won this one. A bases-loaded wild pitch by Zach Duke (while facing the pitcher) was the dagger. Andy LaRoche and Garrett Jones both homered, but it wasn’t enough. Rubber match tomorrow.

The Bucs had 9 hits tonight, including 3 by Nyjer Morgan, but they only managed to get 1 run across.
Zach Duke allowed 7 hits and 3 ER in 7 innings, and that was enough for the Cubs to prevail.

After losing 5 games in a row, the Pirates finally scored a win against the Cleveland Indians.
The Bucs got 11 hits and 8 runs (just 3 earned) against Carl Pavano in 3.2 innings.
Every Pirate starter scored a hit, and Adam LaRoche went 3-4 with 2 runs and 3 RBI.
Zach Duke pitched well through 6, and Chavez and Grabow were fine in the 7th and 8th.
The ninth inning was a disaster, as the Indians scored 5 runs, but a win is a win.

Nick Blackburn pitch a complete game 6 hitter, allowing just 1 run to Pirate hitters. That run was after-the-fact… down 5-0 with 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth.
Zach Duke pitched fair, allowing 3 runs in 6 innings. Chavez allowed 2 more in 2 innings, but Blackburn was the story of the night.
It feels good to be leaving Minnesota.

I was very excited when it was announced that the State College Spikes would be a new Short Season Single A team, right in my hometown. I was even more excited following the 2006 season when it was announced that the Spikes would change affiliation from the St. Louis Cardinals to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Now that the first year player draft has completed, and we now know many of the names that will show up on the Spikes’ roster this year, I decided to research the Spikes’ alumni over the past 2 seasons and see where they’re playing now (I ignored the 2006 season with the Cardinals… although Luke Gregerson, Jason Motte, Brendan Ryan and P.J. Walters have already played for the Cards.
Technically, Zach Duke was a State College Spike because he made a rehab appearance in State College in 2007. Otherwise, the most notable Spikes within the Pirates’ system are: Brian Friday, Daniel Moskos, Moises Robles, and Anthony Watson. They’re all playing in AA Altoona.
Here’s a table that I compiled of Spikes’ alumni and where they’re playing now. If I have something wrong, let me know.

Post Game Update
Zach Duke didn’t have a strong start tonight. He gave up 11 hits and 6 runs in 6 innings. Still the Pirates managed to score 2 runs in the 6th thanks to triples from Andrew McCutchen and Freddy Sanchez. Nyjer Morgan and Adam LaRoche each hit sacrifice flies to score McCutchen and Sanchez. Jaramillo, Wilson, Hinske, and McCutchen hit four consecutive hits in the 7th to score 3 runs and tie the game.
The Pirate bullpen pitched remarkably well in innings 7 through 14. Tom Gorzelanny, John Grabow, Sean Burnett, Steven Jackson, Jesse Chavez, and Evan Meek (3 innings!) all kept the Bucs in the game. Jeff Karstens entered for the bottom of the 15th inning, and he surrendered 2 walks and 2 hits, and Matt Diaz knocked in the winning run.
This was a tough loss for the Pirates tonight. Bobby Cox got his 2,000th win as a Braves manager. Nate McLouth hit a HR in his first game against the Pirates. Luckily, Andrew McCutchen is playing great, although is defense could use some work.
Since Karstens came into the game in relief tonight, we may see Charlie Morton enter the starting rotation soon.
Tonight’s game also brought up a minor bug in my scoresheet. I’ve known that there is currently a serious limitation in the scoresheet. Each team can only have 63 plate appearances. As I finished the scoresheet, I breathed a sigh of relief when the Pirates finished with 62 plate appearances and the Braves finished with 63. The minor bug occurred when a team had exactly 63 plate appearances. I’ll post an update shortly.
