I’ll be really mad if he makes his debut on Sunday because I have tickets for that game but I won’t be able to go!
BeatEmBucs
I really doubt it’s Sunday. I’m willing to bet that it will be tomorrow. My thinking is that they were hoping to sell some tickets tonight by debuting Lincoln and Tabata and then trying to get another big gate tomorrow by bringing up Alvarez.
Ian_Smell
Right after you say this, DK says now that it could be Saturday. I don’t think that I could go to that game either.
BeatEmBucs
smh…I’ve been waiting on an official announcement before actually buying a ticket, but I might just have to go ahead and hope it’s actually Saturday…they might already have sold a decent amount of tix for that day already with the whole ’60 team and everything.
BeatEmBucs
God damn you, Kovacevic! I’ve been waiting for three days for the announcement of Alvarez’s promotion to buy tickets, and then THE Pirates beat writer says it’s going to be Saturday and I buy tickets because there was only a few left as it was…had I waited another half hour….dammit….I’m an idiot.

This is why you will continue to be a suffering Bucs fan
BeatEmBucs
Screw it, I bought some $5 tickets for tomorrow off Stubhub. (There are a couple advantages of the Pirates being god awful)
I’ll either sell the Saturday ones or just go to the ballpark.
bucco_nation
Good move my man, I’ll see ya there!

Alvarez or carlos santana?

I’ve only seen Pedro Alvarez a few times, during Spring Training against the Yankees, and a recent Indy Indians game, and it seems everytime he makes contact the ball rockets off his bat. He seems like the real deal, it will be exciting to watch him.
bigpat
Umm, call him up now. He will be the best hitter on the team, not like that’s saying a ton, but he’s been tearing up the minors all year now. I want to see the lineup of the future sooner rather than later. I think he will be the next Miguel Cabrera with a lower batting average.
jwredsox
best hitter on the pirates…. Andrew McCutchen? Nothing terrible there….
bigpat
I should have said other than McCutchen, but I feel like Alvarez can be the legit middle of the order power bad that the Pirates have needed for a very long time now.
jwredsox
I agree with that statement. I was just making sure you weren’t some McCutchen hater or something lol
BeatEmBucs
Jones is pretty damn hot right now and I think his stats look even better if he actually has some protection behind him, ala Alvarez. Although, I don’t think Alvarez will be in the 5 hole tomorrow, but rather 6…just to ease him in.
1) Tabata
2) Walker
3) McCutchen
4) Jones
5) Doumit
6) Alvarez
7) Church/Milledge
8) Cedeno
9) Duke
1-6, if the young guys continue to develop, is not too shabby…
Ian_Smell
I have a feeling it’s not “Aki Time” anymore.
Todd Smith
I’m hoping it’s Church…he’s slightly more useless than Aki.
Just_MLB
really happy for pirates fans…u guys deserve it
