A pirates beating turmoil foes by Alan Robinson the associated press Pittsburgh for weeks the rest of base Bah wondered How Good the Pittsburgh pirates would be when their stars slopped playing so poorly. Baseball is finally getting its answer a and for the mets cubs cardinals Phi lies and expos the news Isnit Good. In Case you Haven to noticed lately Barry Bonds is hitting like a most valuable player Doug Drabek is pitching like by Young award Winner and Bobby Bonilla is Well playing like Bobby Bonilla and the pirates Are playing like. A team that wont be context just with winning a division title. A the pirates have led the National league East since april 27. Even with their stars slumping but 10 victories in their last 11 games have them on the verge of turning the race into a rout. With the. Season barely a Quarter old their 33-1 i record is the Best in the majors. Their Lead already has stretched to six games and no other no East contender has stepped Forward to Challenge them. Thanks to Bonilla Bonds Andy Van _ e to Slyke Drabek and Zane Smith the rates figured to be Good. But this Good they be just really Good they be been unreal. A a 5 Quot we be been real relaxed. It s almost like you feel you can beat anybody you Plav a shortstop Jay Bell said. A mentally you fee you Are in after a dreadful Start Van Slyke is hitting .400 in his last nine games. Bonds has rocketed his average from the .170s to .259 a and has hit five homers in his last 18 games. Drabek lost seven times in his first nine decisions then rebounded to pitch a one hit shutout of St. Louis. The bucs Are Back not that they Ever went away. A a. R. A a they re Tough real Tough a said the Barry Bonds Doug Drabek Phillies John Kruk after the pirates swept a pair of three game series on consecutive weekends from Philadelphia. A without Drabek they be still got great pitching. And the everyday lineup they be got a hey stick Bonilla into the heart of any line up and its a Good one. No question they re the team to the next thing you know Pittsburgh fans will finally notice the Stanley cup finals Are Over and there a another championship Caliper team in town beside the penguins. �?o1 knew we d be Good. But the question was How Good a manager Jim Leyland said a the pitching was there the hitting was there. I liked our bullpen and the Bench was Good maybe not As Good As last year but Good but our Guys Are smart enough to know we be Bariy taken our jackets off.�?T�?T. So much for the team that supposedly self destructed during a distracting Spring training that featured Bonds on Field with Leyland and Bonillas laborious contract negotiations. A i told Jimmy 1 thought the distractions would be Tod much a said St. Louis manager Joe Torre. A the pirates Are because of the killer bus but its not been Only Bonilla and Bonds and Bell but the Bench the bullpen Buffalo and the Boss. Bonilla still Hasni to signed a and almost assuredly wont be traded a but is putting a one Man Campaign for map. He has certainly been the most valuable buc putting up the kind of numbers �?315, six homers 35 Bis a. That have earned him three straight trips to the All Star game. Leyland and general manager Larry Doughty fretted All Winter that the departures of Sid Bream Wally Backman . Reynolds and Ted Power would ruin their Bench. Doughty has compensated by deftly acquiring or signing castoffs like Mitch Webster Gary Varsho Lloyd me Clendon and Curtis Wilkerson for Little in return arid Leyland has them believing they re the Best Bench in baseball. There a no Dibble Myers or Eckersley in the pirates pen just a collection of no names who throw strikes and get batters out. Bill Landrum Neal Heaton Stan Btu Linda Vincente Palacios Bob Patterson and Bob Kipper Are hardly household names but the bullpen is 8-2 with 16 saves and remarkably Hasni Host since april 15. So much for the importance of having a Star Caliper closer. And sure Drabek is 3-7, Quot but Lethander John Smiley is 8-1 and is finally realizing his vast potential. Smith is 7-3, and the overlooked Randy Tomlin is 3-1 with a 2.58 Era. Quot a. When they Trade for a Lead off hitter or first baseman to replace Bream they dipped into their Buffalo farm club Tor Orlando Merced. He grew up Down the Street from the legendary Roberto Clemente but the pirates did t guess Merced also hit like Clemente. Merced is batting .308 with four homers and 15 Bis and has been the last missing piece to the pirates Puzzle. Instead of being destroyed by their problems the pirates have been unified by them.
