Pirates 2 Blue Jays 9 Not that it really matters, but it is nice to have a win. José Berríos wasn’t great but only allowed 2 earned, with 5 hits, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts and a home run. His ERA is now 3.38 on the spring. Normally, I’d say his spring training numbers don’t matter, […]
The Pirates are coming to Dunedin from Bradenton. I thought Bradenton was the prettiest town. A very nice downtown area and a great spring ballpark. Not that Dunedin isn’t a pretty town. The Jays brought a few of the ones who should be regulars and a couple of guys on the bubble on the bus […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates have landed themselves a generational kind of player in rising star Konnor Griffin.
