The old Pirates Game Discussion on No Quarter is now a Daily Pirates Discussion. We will update the article throughout the day with game notes, links to Pittsburgh Baseball Network stories, and any news for the day.
Pirates have an early game today. Bradenton won their best-of-five opener yesterday. Greensboro was rained out. Indianapolis starts back up with 1/3rd of Altoona’s roster. The DSL is still plugging away, though they are off today.
