9/20/24 | Pirates' Oneil Cruz Showing Promise at New Position. Oneil Cruz has the unenviable task of having to learn a new position in the middle of the season with the Pittsburgh Pirates moving him from shortstop to center field on Aug. 26. While Cruz has been far from perfect, the 6-foot-7 center fielder has shown signs of acclimating well to the position change. No play proved that more than the spectacular play he made in the first inning of the Pirates' 3-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday at Busch Stadium. In the bottom of the first inning, Cardinals shortstop Mason Winn roped a 1-2 fastball from Luis Ortiz into the right-center-field gap. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/pirates/news/pittsburgh-pir... |

8/30/24 | Pittsburgh Pirates Manager Ejected After Arguing With Umpire. The Cleveland Guardians and Pittsburgh Pirates had only played a few innings on Friday night before tensions started to get high. Pirates manager Derek Shelton clearly wasn't happy with how home plate umpire Brian Walsh was calling balls and strikes, and he was ejected in the middle of the fourth inning after an energetic argument. Shelton and Pittsburgh's biggest issue with the zone came with how he was calling the inside pitch. This had been the case through multiple at-bats and Oneil Cruz and Billy McKinney were each called out on strikes due to a ball inside in the zone.
