Well, things didn’t go very well for the Brewers yesterday against Paul Skenes. The reigning NL Cy Young struck out seven Brewers, didn’t walk any, and allowed just one single in seven dominant innings of work. Milwaukee couldn’t muster a hit against either of Skenes’ relievers, either, and they were shut out, 6-0, and managed […]
The Milwaukee Brewers return home to American Family Field to begin a six-game homestand against the Pittsburgh Pirates and Arizona Diamondbacks. The first matchup of this homestand is a doozy. It’s a battle of the aces on the mound tonight with the wily veteran Brandon Woodruff pitching for the Crew, while the Pirates will have […]
One of the strengths for the Pittsburgh Pirates to start the season has been their starting rotation, and right-handed pitcher Braxton Ashcraft is a big reason because of that. In his most recent start for the Pirates, he threw seven innings and 94 pitches, both career-highs, while only allowing two earned runs against the Texas […]

Kennedi Landry writes on another 10-K night for Jacob deGrom who continues to slide up the all time strikeout list. McFarland also writes about journeyman reliever Peyton Gray finally making […]
Rangers 6, Pirates 1
Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The Brewers bounced back nicely on their road trip against the Marlins and Tigers, and they’re now back in Milwaukee to host Paul Skenes and the Pirates this weekend. In some scary news, team No. 2 prospect and MLB No. 21 prospect Luis Peña reportedly collapsed in the dugout late […]
In an attempt to remake a starting rotation expected to lose a two-time All-Star, the Astros traded two prospects from a barren farm system to acquire Mike Burrows from the Pittsburgh Pirates last December. An 11th round pick by the Pirates in 2018, Burrows finally made his Major League debut in 2024 and put himself on […]
The Texas Rangers scored six runs while the Pittsburgh Pirates scored one run. That’s more like it. After a few annoying losses here and there over the last couple of weeks, the Rangers came out tonight and did pretty much everything right as they finished off a series win over Pittsburgh in the first leg […]

If you’re an elite young ballplayer looking for long-term financial security, you picked the right time to be alive. On April 15th, Kevin McGonigle of the Tigers inked an eight-year, $150 million contract extension which will keep him in Detroit until 2034. Eight days before that, Pirates phenom Konnor Griffin signed a nine-year, $140 million […]

Morning, all! Jordan Montgomery is throwing bullpen sessions and is on pace to return to the rotation in July after undergoing Tommy John surgery last year. Cody Bradford, on the other hand, hasn’t thrown in two weeks after experiencing tightness in his surgically repaired elbow. Wyatt Langford left yesterday’s game against the Pirates in the […]
The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Pittsburgh Pirates scored one run. Talk about branching paths.

Entering the 2026 season, the Pittsburgh Pirates starting rotation contained the reigning Cy Young winner, the No. 2 pitching prospect in baseball, and the former franchise leader in strikeouts by a right-handed pitcher. None of the three, or Braxton Ashcraft, have been the Pirates best starting pitcher this year. It’s the guy everyone, including myself, […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates came into 2026 with high expectations on their pitching staff, and while their starting rotation has lived up to them, the bullpen has been very shaky to start the season. The Pirates bullpen has an ERA of around 3.68, which is up there for being the best in the National League. However, […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates are off to a good start so far this season, with the starting rotation and some improved hitting playing major roles. However, there’s still one important piece of the rotation still to add, and that is starting pitcher Jared Jones. He was injured last season and given a 10-12 month recovery time, […]
With a depleted group of relievers, the Pittsburgh Pirates promoted one of their top prospects ahead of their Sunday contest against the Tampa Bay Rays. 23-year-old Wilber Dotel got the call to pitch for Pittsburgh while on a road trip with Triple-A Indianapolis. Originally slated to start for the Indians on Saturday evening, Dotel instead […]
Despite taking the loss in the series finale against the first place Pirates, Shane McClanahan should be leaving Pittsburgh feeing really good about where he is at. Yes, he surrendered four runs over four and a third innings, allowing eight hits in the process. However, that was the sharpest the southpaw has looked in three […]
