  • In case somehow you didn't hear, Starling Marte hit a home run on the first pitch he saw at the big league level last night. It was a moment that Pirates fans will remember for a long, long time, and it's a good memory too, unlike what happened LAST July 26th. I posted Greg Brown's call of the homer last night, although it certainly wasn't a Brownie classic.
  • Without Marte in Indianapolis, the minor league roundups may not be as interesting, but you could read it anyway if you want, I guess.
  • A.J. Burnett wasn't messing around with the last place Astros last night. He completely scrapped the two-seamer and threw just three changeups. It was 67 four seamers sand 33 curves, according to his Brooks pitch f/x.
  • Here's a post with a couple #MartePartay photoshops that came up last night.
  • The Pirates are back at it in Houston tonight at 8:05 with Jeff Karstns on the hill. News came out yesterday that Kevin Correia would move to the bullpen and Wandy Rodriguez would start Saturday. Evan Meek and Gorkys Hernandez were sent back to AAA.
