Just three days left in our pledge drive. We were blessed to bypass our $1,000 goal and currently have $1,290 in pledges. However, don’t stop now.. all amounts over the $1,000 mark will be used to bring you additional scouting reports from the minor leagues. Obviously I can’t afford to hire three scouts to follow these teams all year so I’ll use those funds to get the scouts out to even more games for us. Plus, [...] Continue reading: Ten little braves walked? Oh my! The pledge drive is going well having exceeded our $1,000 goal. Currently I have $1,290 in pledged amounts. However, don’t stop now.. all amounts over the $1,000 mark will be used to bring you additional scouting reports from the minor leagues. Obviously I can’t afford to hire three scouts to follow these teams all year so I’ll use those funds to get the scouts out to even more games for us. There are [...] Continue reading: Bucs vs NYY: Jake’s observations Yesterday I had a total of $567 pledged over the last week or so toward our $1,000 goal to offset some of the costs in bringing you additional coverage during the 2010 season. I was very fortunate to announce that we had a business step up willing to match any pledges made during the last few days of the drive up to $250 and – WHAM – you responded.. $335 in pledges over the last 24 hours. [...] Continue reading: Readership makes it clear, NO PAYWALL Steve Pearce and Erik Kratz homered and knocked in two runs each, as the Pittsburgh Pirates opened their spring training schedule with a 6-1 win against Manatee Community College. Brandon Moss homered and doubled, while Pittsburgh’s top pick in last year’s draft third baseman Pedro Alvarez was 3-for-4 with an RBI double. Kratz and Moss were both 2-for-2. Gorkeys Hernandez struck out twice on the day. In typical early spring fashion, Pittsburgh sent out seven pitchers [...] Continue reading: Bucs vs Manatees and Game Notes for Wednesday Great news for the readership: a Pittsburgh business has agreed to match every pledge made from this point forward up to $250. Our goal is $1,000 to offset the costs of bringing in scouting correspondents to provide in-season updates on the development and performance of our minor league players at West Virginia, Bradenton, and Altoona during the year, and the cost for us to be able to publish and provide you with in-season performance data of our [...] Continue reading: Altoona Curve reach out to all Pirates fans We’ve reached the halfway point! Seven days left in the Pledge Drive to keep the paywall down.. you can read about it here and here. So far $517 has been pledged toward our $1,000 goal. Pledges can be made here. – Oh my, what a heartbreaking loss by the American hockey team. Stunning. Let’s take a look at a few question marks we have entering ST play from a different perspective. First our coaches. Let’s not forget that Tony Beasley, for [...] Continue reading: Looking at a few question marks Eight days left in the Pledge Drive to keep the paywall down. You can read about it here and here. So far $428 has been pledged toward our $1,000 goal. Pledges can be made here. – Traveling tonight so short post. Q: I usually keep my hopes for the Pirates in check. I fully expect them to lose 100 games this year, if not their usual mid-90s. But I will be paying close attention to their minor- league clubs. [...] Continue reading: Bucs building via draft? Tell me another one! Nine days left in the Pledge Drive. You can read about it here and here. So far $428 has been pledged toward our $1,000 goal. Pledges can be made here. – One of the more basic stats in the game is average run production per at bat. In the National League, I only look at position player productivity believing that additional run production by pitching is just gravy on top. Last year the Pirates position players racked up an [...] Continue reading: The goal: 721 RS; now, how to do it? Ten days left in the Pledge Drive. You can read about it here and here. So far $380 has been pledged toward our $1,000 goal. Pledges can be made here. I won’t lie to you – I’m a bit surprised that so few have an interest in expanded coverage of our minor league system and being able to view in-season professional scouting reports on our “core foundation” players in Pittsburgh. Perhaps I crossed the ‘writer reality line’ as [...] Continue reading: Pledge drive stalls |
