Player Notes

July 1, 2008
It took 11 innings but the Pirates found the offense needed to earn the 6-5 win over Cincinnati, giving first baseman Adam LaRoche the star of the evening. LaRoche went 2-for-3 with two walks and his 15th double of the season to total one RBI and one run scored on the night.

Our View:LaRoche hit just .253 through June with two homer and 10 RBIs, a far cray from the five homers and 19 RBIs he totaled in May. The Pirates are hoping this gets him moving back towards more positive results.

June 22, 2008
Adam LaRoche went 1-for-4 on Sunday with a run scored though he continues to languish at the plate with a paltry .217 average and seven home runs for the Pirates.

Our View:To think, just two years ago this guy produced 32 home runs and 90 RBI for the Braves. Even last years somewhat minor production (.272-21-88) appears out of reach for the lefty, though he has long been known as a second half performer.

June 15, 2008
After a two-game absence, Adam LaRoche was back in the lineup yesterday as the Pirates designated hitter. Doug Mientkiewicz started at first base. This afternoon, expect to see Ryan Doumit in the designated hitter role and Raul Chavez behind the plate. LaRoche likely will be at first base.

Our View:Playing LaRoche at DH was done to give the slumping first baseman time to focus on his swing.

June 14, 2008
Pittsburgh didn't have to travel far to get their interleague fix, but they can't be happy with the results, falling 8-7 to the Baltimore Orioles. Designated hitter Adam LaRoche did what he could to jump start the drive, but the effort fell short. LaRoche went 2-for-4 with his seventh homer of the season to total two RBIs and two runs scored on the night.

Our View:LaRoche is hitting just .176 through June, hitting his first homer since May 27th this evening.

June 14, 2008
Adam LaRoche sat out on Friday for the second straight day. He is hitting .176 (6-for-34) this June. "I think the biggest thing Adam needs to do is just relax," manager John Russell tells the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "He's trying to do so much that he's not seeing the ball well."

Our View:LaRoche showed glimpses of breaking out in May, but he remains one of this season's bigger disappointments. He should be on your bench if you can afford to wait.
