Gregory Polanco did something on Friday that hasn't been done in 91 years!
From Elias:
"Gregory Polanco didn't earn a win or a save for the Pirates in their 5-3 win over the Rockies, but he did just about everything else. Polanco knocked out three hits, scored two runs and drove in another, stole a base, and threw out two base runners including one on right-field-to-home-plate double play, then called it a night. You have to go back 91 years to find the last major-league outfielder who had a game in which he did all that (meaning, at least three hits, two runs, one RBI, one steal, two assists and participation in an outfielder-to-catcher double play). The last outfielder to do it was Bob Meusel; playing for the Yankees at Detroit on June 12, 1924, Meusel sparked a 10-4 victory with four hits, two runs scored, four RBIs, two steals, and two assists including a right-fielder-to-catcher double play."“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

The Pirates say they won't call up AAA pitcher Tyler Glasnow. Not even as a reliever because according to GM Neal Huntington they don't believe in changing a pitcher's role. Glasnow over his four minor league seasons, has 492 strikeouts over 375.2 innings while only giving up 221 hits. The only negative is the 173 walks he has issued. It all works out to career minor league totals of a 1.91 era, 1.05 whip, and a .169 ba against. He is currently unscored upon in his last three AAA games. Knowing the Pirates, i fully expect Glasnow to "continue working on his control issues" in AAA next April/May.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

In Tyler Glasnow's 78 career minor league starts, he has been unscored on in 37 of them. His AA numbers this year would have been even better if he had not been rushed back from a sprained ankle only to have the worst start of his career before being placed on the DL for a month. I've also heard that he has trouble holding base runners. So that may be another reason the Pirates give for keeping him down at AAA next year.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Pirates fans won't be seeing Tyler Glasnow in PNC Park anytime soon after tonight's start. He somehow managed to give up 5 bb & 1 h along with 1 k on just 35 pitches. Total damage was 6 runs after he recorded just 1 out in the first inning. See you next summer kid.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Gerrit Cole will have his next start skipped to limit his innings in preparation for the playoff(s). If the rotation doesn't change, his next start should be September 17.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

This is definitely going to hurt the Pirates chances of advancing in the post-season:
Rotoworld
Jung Ho Kang was removed from Thursday's game against the Cubs with an apparent left knee injury.
Chris Coghlan went hard into Kang's leg on a doubleplay in the top of the first inning. Kang dropped immediately to the ground and then had to be helped off the field while putting very little weight on the left side of his body. This could be a season-ender. Jordy Mercer entered the game at shortstop.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Looks like the Jung Ho Kang injury will carry over into 2016 as well:
Rotoworld
Jung Ho Kang is expected to be sidelined for the next 6-8 months after undergoing surgery on Thursday to repair a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee and a fractured left tibia.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
