The Pittsburgh Pirates are unstoppable right now as they just had a sweep of the Kansas City Royals. The Buccos have done nothing but win since they hit the .500 mark, and haven't looked back since.
Ever since the Bucs have won the series against the Reds with a 2-1 victory in that series, the Buccos have moved themselves into a tie for first place in the Central Division with the Reds. This is the hardest part of the Buccos season, and they have gone on a rampage through this part of their schedule.
No one counted the Pirates in this season, like they do every season, but the Bucs are proving everyone wrong. With their new motto "finish" they have seemed to have new life. Now I know they had a good season last year around this time, but they were never in the first place spot. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Pirates don't need to make any trades. Their team is where they want it to be, and the bats are coming alive. The pitching along with the defense are outstanding this season.
All the Pirates need to do is keep this momentum up well past the All Star break. I feel if they don't make any changes, they keep playing like they are, and "finish" the games like they are they will be in solo ownership of first place and making a run for the postseason.
Until next time,
You keep doing what you do, and I'll keep you up to date with everything sports.
