How badly did the Yanks heist the Pirates last year for Clay Holmes? He just broke the Yanks' all-time record for consecutive scoreless innings (30 1/3) and appearances (30), formerly held by Mariano Rivera, and has a 0.90 ERA in 60 NYY appearances.

Good job, buccos!

Holmes would never have been this good if he had stayed with the Pirates. Somehow, the Pirate always find a way to stunt the development of their pitchers.

Nice jink. Holmes cost me a win (Cole) and a save today.

Holmes ends up lucking into the win.

This is starting to become a regular occurrence and I'm not liking it at all.

Holmes and Cole must hate each other.

BTW, why am I discussing Yankees pitchers in the Pirates thread?

Because good Pirates pitchers eventually graduate to become good Yankees pitchers?

Jack Suwinski demoted to AAA

Sad but true.

Have to delay those arbitration years.

I was hoping for Elijah Green, who was still on the board, but Termarr Johnson is a good one too.

Termarr is almost the anti-Elijah Green. Great contact skills, much lower risk, not quite the high end upside though.

Rodolfo Castro doesn't like to miss any calls while he is running the bases.

Rudolfo Castro got a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine for that phone incident. He is appealing the suspension.
