With half of the baseball season in the books, this is a fitting time to do a review of the Pittsburgh Pirates so far in 2015. While the Pirates may not be leading the division, they are still securely in the playoff hunt and taking over the St. Louis Cardinals is certainly within reach for this team.
At 47-34, the Pirates are 6 games behind the Cardinals for the division lead. This does not accurately show how good of a ball club Pittsburgh is, because their winning percentage of .580 ranks them second in the entire National League.
