Season on the Line

This series with the Brewers cannot be understated. The season comes down to this. We need a sweep. A sweep would put us only 7 games out, a series victory 9 games, and a series loss would be the end.

The Pirates did stop their ugly ways with a series win against San Fransico. We avoided their best pitchers, but we still got the win. McCutchen appears to be out of his slump, and we are hitting a little better now. The bad news is that we pitched our three best pitchers, and now we are going in with Correia, who has been outright awful, Malholm, who is okay, and then Morton (I think). The first two guys have to show up big.

As for everything else, the Pirates are making great progress in signing prospects. I have heard 60% and no chance of signing Bell, but the Pirates have signed almost all of the top 10 picks, and getting them into games at the GCL. It appears they are offering good money to a couple of other guys, and I have great hope for the Pirates.

The VSL played in its 6th straight championship, but this time they lost. Still a good sign for the Pirates as the VSL is loaded with some real good looking prospects.
