The losing streak ends, then the winning streak ends.
Earlier in the week, while the Pirates were mired in a 10-game losing streak, I took it upon myself to lament the fact that they could be embarking on a sustained losing streak destined to equal that which has already been established for this season. My tone, however, was jovial, which some would call a coping mechanism for having subjected myself to one of the worst teams in baseball...

The Bucs fail to sweep.
Josh Naylor’s RBI single in the seventh inning snapped a 1-1 tie and propelled the Cleveland Indians to a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates Sunday before a nice Father’s Day crowd at PNC Park.
The loss snapped the Pirates’ modest two-game winning streak, but the Bucs still wound up taking the three-game series from the Tribe.

Two big late shots got it done for Pittsburgh.
It was looking like it was going to be another one of those games. The Pittsburgh Pirates were virtually ineffective at the plate through six innings of play against the Cleveland Indians. But then the improbable happened, and the Buccos got two three-run homers in the seventh inning — one from Michael Perez and another from Bryan Reynolds — after having just one total on the entire year, that lifted the...

One of the wildest games of the season.
The Pittsburgh Pirates are waking up with smiles on their faces this morning following a wild win at PNC Park Friday night.
The Good Guys snapped a 10-game losing streak after an 11-10 win in the series opener against Cleveland.
The Pirates wasted no time getting on the board with a five-run first inning. The five runs in the first matched the same amount of runs the team scored in its previous 34 innings.

In another lost season, it’s time to see what the Bucs have in the coffers at two positions.
Roughly 40 percent of the way through the 2021 season, the Pittsburgh Pirates are where most people figured they would be – struggling in last place in the National League Central.
With a 23-44 record and in the midst of a 10-game losing streak, the long-range forecast doesn’t look good, but in a bizarre sort of way, maybe that IS good.
Perhaps this isn’t a popular...

Just another day as a Bucs fan.
As I write this piece, the Pittsburgh Pirates have lost 10 consecutive games.
This string of losses is the longest streak of its kind for the Pirates this season, but the Bucs have amassed losing streaks of six twice, the first coming at the beginning of the season; the second coming at the end of May.
In 1963, the New York Mets lost 22 consecutive games. They went 51-111 that season. The 1943 Philadelphia Athletics...

The lone Pirates run, sadly. | Brad Mills-USA TODAY Sports
It’s the Bucs’ worst losing streak in ten years.
It was a day of firsts for Pirates starter Chase De Jong in today’s game against the Nationals at Nationals Park.
One was a good first—he got his first major league hit in the third inning against the Nats’ Paolo Espino. It was a double, even. Good job, dude. (fist bump)
The other wasn’t as good—he was handed his first loss as a Buc.
