Call to the PenPittsburgh Pirates designate OF McLouth for assignment, recall OF HagueWashington PostPITTSBURGH — The Pirates on Friday designated outfielder Nate McLouth for assignment, and recalled outfielder Matt Hague from Triple-A Indianapolis. McLouth, signed as a free agent on Dec. 7, hit just .140 with Pittsburgh, scoring four runs while ...Pittsburgh Pirates designate Nate McLouth for assignmentCall to the PenPittsburgh Pirates...  

Just a day of rest for Tabata, who was in Clint Hurdle's doghouse late last week and is hitting just .223/.272/.338 through 159 plate appearances this year. Gorkys Hernandez will start in his place in left field and bat second.  

For a brief period of time the Pirates called up Evan Meek, but after one bad relief appearance he was sent back down for Gorkys Hernandez. The question that remains is who takes Presley's spot in the outfield? My first choice would be Garrett Jones.  

PITTSBURGH — Andrew McCutchen had a solo home run among his four hits, Jose Tabata also homered and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Houston Astros 5-2 on Saturday night. Charlie Morton (2-3) rebounded from consecutive poor starts and allowed ...  

Kevin Correia walked five batters and struck out none in 4.1 innings and also got some poor defense from Andrew McCutchen and Pedro Alvarez as the Pirates lost 4-3 to the Braves on Sunday, but this loss also featured a 3-for-5 performance from Jose Tabata and a 2-for-4 from Alvarez, so I'll take it -- the Bucs' bats finally seem to be coming alive. Alvarez led off the second with a line-drive single. Michael McKenry snuck a...  

Pittsburgh Pirates outfield star Andrew McCutchen has a trademark hairstyle; dreadlocks. He love them so much that he recently sat for a video feature that not only explains how he maintains and cares for them but that he must wear a size 8 cap ...  

Dee Gordon hit the first home run of his career Tuesday. Gordon isn't know for his power; he's known for his speed. One day he'll probably tag up from second and score on a pop-up to shortstop. Dee Gordon has more homers this year than Albert Pujols. Jose Tabata homered for the first time this year Tuesday. With nine career long balls in 812 at-bats, that's about one home runs every 90 at-bats. Jose Tabata has more homers this year...  

Projected Lineup: C: Rod Barajas, 1B: Garrett Jones, 2B: Neil Walker, SS: Clint Barmes, 3B: Pedro Alvarez, LF: Alex Presley, CF: Andrew McCutchen, RF: Jose Tabata Casey McGee should see plenty of action on the corners, especially if Alvarez struggles.  

Alex Presley (LF); Jose Tabata (RF); Andrew McCutchen (CF); Neil Walker (2B); Garrett Jones (1B); Rod Barajas (C); Pedro Alvarez (3B); Clint Barmes (SS) There have been a lot of things to criticize the Pirates for over the past two decades.  

Why are so many people on this site calling for Starling Marte to be called up to replace Jose Tabata? This is just rediculous....Let's be glad that the Nationals are rushing Harper tonight but come on...Marte needs more time and why are so many people ready to give up on Tabata? Let's remember something....They are the same age!!!! So Tabata was tearing up AAA Indianapolis at 2 years younger than Marte is now. Actually he was putting up...  

PITTSBURGH -- His team having just pulled within a run, J.A. Happ was on the verge of a perfect inning. The momentum he and the Astros were building was undone by a ball that somehow carried over the elevated right-field wall. Jose Tabata's solo homer was ...  

The Pirates took a 2-0 lead on Neil Walker's first home run of the season, a shot that cleared the left-field stands and scored Jose Tabata, who had doubled. That's where it stands after the Pirates and Reds have breezed through three innings.  

Tabata HR puts Pirates ahead Jose Tabata's first homer of the season, a two-run, third-inning drive into the Pittsburgh bullpen in left field, gave the Pirates a 2-1 lead against the Cardinals and Adam Wainwright tonight at Busch Stadium. Wainwright ...  

Out Alex Presley flied out to right. None on with two outs and Jose Tabata due up. Out Jose Tabata grounded out pitcher to first to end the inning. Double Brandon Belt doubled to right. Runner on second with none out and Brandon Crawford due up.  

In some cases, those trades worked out – for example, Huntington sent Nady and Damaso Marte to the Yankees for Jeff Karstens, Jose Tabata, Ross Ohlendorf and Daniel McCutchen in July 2008. Karstens and Tabata are contributing to the Pirates, while ...
