The Pirates have won eight of 12 and the ones driving this little surge are mostly the younger players, so that’s exciting.
A season that had begun with no real reason to tune in suddenly looks far more interesting. But that isn’t because they have won more lately. It is baseball and even the worst of teams have surges in short samples. And as I always say, 162 games do not lie about who you are as a baseball team.
We have been fooled so many times over the past eight or nine years by the Pirates when they have these little surges of winning. We hear about how the pitchers are figuring it out, the hitters are growing in their approach and how it is only a matter of time before they put it all together.
