The Pittsburgh Pirates just played their 31st game of the season, marking the half way mark for their 2020 campaign. Let’s recap the year for the team so far.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have just hit the midpoint of the 2020 season. With their 31st game under their belt, they now face the long road ahead of them. But to get to this point of the season with very few interruptions seemed like a near-impossibility back in early July.

Regardless of the Pirates’ play, let’s just be thankful we’re even watching them play. After all, for much of the spring and summer it appeared there may not be any baseball played in 2020 due to the coronaviurs.
