Mossome

Good to see the JR reward system still works…and this time it should make Moss fans happy. Pearce goes yard and gets benched so Moss can play today. Go figure. Karma I guess. lol

Morris suspended

DK just posted a note about the PIrates suspending Bryan Morris indefinately for unprofessional behavior.

by Brakeman8 on Aug 1, 2009 6:06 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I saw this

and would like to know just what he did. Hopefully, it has something tangentially to do with being overly competitive rather than simply being a creep.

It's odd

He pitched three shutout innings, but then the game got rain suspended for the day. I believe he came back out the next day and faced 3 batters who all reached before he was lifted from the game. Maybe something happened after he was lifted from the game.

by Slizeezyc on Aug 1, 2009 6:25 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Reading Lynchburg media on web...

not helpful at all. He faced the 3 batters in the 4th before it started raining Thursday night. He didn’t come back and pitch on Friday.

The only thing that was really mentioned about the 4th inning was a ball skipping by Alex Presley that allowed Frederick to take the lead. Since the umpires were mentioned by Stark…sort of wonder whether maybe he felt like he was getting squeezed on balls and strikes…maybe after the hit that went by Presley…he went off on the umpire about costing him the lead. Just a guess.

Over at OBN...

one of the members said he got a report that Morris reportedly threw a ball at an umpire when the game went into the rain delay.

Unrelated…Owens is scheduled to pitch Monday for Lynchburg. Reportedly on a strict 80 pitch/5 innings leash.

by Thunder on Aug 1, 2009 6:50 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Wow....

what does that mean, any idea?

by dtoddwin on Aug 1, 2009 6:55 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

If you are referring to Owens...

that means the Pirates are watching workload very closely with him.

If you are referring to Morris…I don’t know what to make of the situation…other than if it occurred…it’s unacceptable behavior…and the Pirates would be correct to suspend him. Although…with the numbers he’s had so far this season…it might be addition by subtraction. And a free trip to fall ball in Bradenton…or a release.

by Thunder on Aug 1, 2009 7:01 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Nah,

can’t release the kid for a stupid mistake. But I just wonder what “repeatedly threw a ball at an umpire” means. If it weren’t so stupid it would be kind of comical.

Two little letters make a difference

Or I at least hope so — there are a lot of different ways one might throw a ball at somebody.

Looks like the best way to get a night off for the Pirates...

Maybe they sat Pearce.....

because they are so pissed off by Burnett’s comments, that they are playing the platoon (lefty last night so Pearce, righty tonight so Moss—I know he doesn’t have a big platoon split) split because they are DYING to sweep the Nats.

Yea I’m joking, (kinda).

I see few games

Indeed, right now I am listening to the radio feed on XM. My cable provider (suck Cox) can’t seem to deliver any Center Ice games in HD, much less normaI broadcast quality, so my viewing opportunities are limited to a few WGN games and the Assos’ broadcast on Fox Southwest. Which is a long way to a question: Has anybody had any experience with the MLB streaming video package. I’m considering it, but would like a little feedback first.

I had it two years ago. It was good then and I heard they improved it. It’s well worth the money….and it’s convenient if you’re traveling and would like to watch a game….all you need to do is find a computer.

by GL9 on Aug 1, 2009 8:05 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I've had it

For like three years, and it gets a little better each year (I also have the TV package). They have dual feeds now so you can always watch the Pirates feed if you want on the computer. I also have an iPhone and you can now watch every game on there too.

Beyond that, I personally don’t like their “HD” quality stream they provide and use the old Windows Media Player plugin rather than the “Nex-Def” one they recommend for top quality.

down 1-0 in the 6th, they load the bases with no outs. Argenis Diaz grounds into a DP (pitcher to home to 1st), and Bixler Ks so they get nothing.

Nothing ironic

about a guy who plays on the worst team in the league calling another team an “embarassment”

Man that was a great throw by Dukes. And thank god Dunn has the mobility of a hibernating bear

The glare of the spotlight is harsh, and the pressure that success breeds immense. We revere our heroes, but expect much. And criticism can come as easily as praise.

Wow, I’m very pleased with his numbers thus far. Is he still pitching?

Cycle of home runs?

If he hits a grand slam?

I wonder who they’re gonna trade him for?*

3 HRs

Has Cutch always shown power or is this abnormal?

by OldHossRadbourn on Aug 1, 2009 9:02 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

These are going a little bit longer

than most of his hits the first part of the year. He’s had a fair amount of doubles and deep fly outs.

I went ahead and put up another thread to mark the occasion, so you can head there. I know it’s a bit early, but let’s go ahead and call this the last call.

Hey Bartender….. Jack! Make it a triple!
