After sweeping the previous 11-1 Marlins, the Pirates travel out west to face the San Diego Padres in a three game series. The Friars come in with an identical 9-6 record, but have dropped 3 in a row. The Padres main off-season addition was that of everyone's least favorite player in the league, David Eckstein. Peavy is pitching in the finale on Sunday so it would be nice if we could get these first two before having to face maybe the best pitcher in the league.
Players to Watch- Adrian Gonzalez
- Kevin Kouzmanoff
- Eckstein
- Former Pirates Jody Gerut and Brian Giles (wow, he really needs to retire)
Probable Pitchers4/24/2009: Snell vs. Kevin Correia
4/25/2009: Duke vs. Shawn Hill
4/26/2009: Ohlendorf vs. Jake Peavy
