The best month one manager has ever seen

This Guy is Something Else, Go Andrew!!!!!!!

That's a pretty ridiculous stat line.

And remember this is a guy who just signed a long term contract, not someone who is looking to sign one. I think that speaks volumes about this guy's character.

The Bucs have finally got their act together by locking this guy up and keeping key players instead of trading them away.

It'd be nice to see the Pirates make a move before the trade deadline.....maybe another big bat. They are definitely in the mix and should take advantage

That is one amazing hot streak.

I would LOVE for the team to pick up a legitimate power threat for the lineup. Not Carlos Quentin...a legit hitter.

Perhaps Justin Upton, who would fit in well with McCutcheon in the OF. If not, maybe Logan Morrison from Miami, who would be cheaper.

Yes, that would help
Upton is slightly above average in RF (UZR/150 of 3.2 or something) while Morrison rates -15 in LF in about 2000 innings. -15 is really bad, not sure he will be an OF much longer. But in a few games at 1b Morrison has looked pretty good, and it looks like Pittsburgh could use help there, too.

now that's like returning the favor to the pirates,,

One AMAZING month there! Hope he keeps it going through the end of the season just to see how high he can go.

congrats to him...plays the game right.....although my favorite player of the month award was when randy johnson was i think 0-4 with a 1.41 era and 67 strike outs in 4 starts....it was in an article when shot back at someone complaining about run support..

9 Walks?

Someone should teach this kid some Plate Discipline :-)

Yeah. More home runs than walks? what's up with that? Don't the Pirates have a batting instructor? :)

Yeah, LoMo at first was my thought. I think the guy will continue to improve and be a quality MLB player.

As for Upton, the D Backs act like they don't want him. Pitt has some young talent to send to Ariz for him.

If talking about it doesn't jinx him, huh.

Amazing!

GO BUCS!!!

Nobody's Perfect, but that month was pretty close!!!

Time to start pitching around him.
