Both of these guys are Pirates, but they also "firsts".

P Dovydas Neverauskus made his debut last night. He's the first Lithuanian-born player in MLB history.

INF Gift Ngoepe got in tonight. He's the first African-born player in MLB history.

Watched Gift's 1st at bat. decent looking swing and a solid single up the middle for his first hit

He's already surpassed the two "pitchers" they signed a few years ago from an Indian reality show. Amazingly, they never made it to the bigs.

Adam Eaton out for the year with a torn ACL.

It's a bummer. I like to root for my hometown athletes.

I've got Scott "seriously, guys! I really am doing just as well as Adam Duvall" Schebler if you're looking to add another Reds OF for depth.

I really don't get it. Duvall is .247/7HR/17RBI/2SB and owned in 83% of leagues.

Schebs is .244/8HR/18RBI/1SB and is owned in 35%.

If MLB has a basketball tournament I'm betting on the Yankees with Betances (6'8"), Judge (6'7"), and Pineda (6'6").

Dickerson just stole a HR away from Hosmer courtesy of the baby wall in LF.
