Pirates fans are livid
They're convinced that Chapmen hit McCutchen intentionally and they believe there should (will?) be retribution tomorrow.
Biggest game of the year and the Reds would intentionally want to put runners on in the 9th inning? Riiiight. Seems reality has escaped Pittsburgh for far too long.

Re: Pirates fans are livid
Well, they've been waiting for a long time to have stuff like this happen in games that actually matter. So I'll let them have their fun.

Re: Pirates fans are livid
I'm glad he hit McCutcheon. Not because I want him hurt, but because it strikes fear in the other Pirate hitters having to think they could get plunked by a 100 mph fastball. An occasional wild pitch without runners on base can do wonders in terms of fear.
Pirates are babies, just like the Cardinals.

Sounds like Pittsburgh fans are weird wusses.

Re: Pirates fans are livid
I've no doubt it was a purpose pitch. I am sure Chapman was trying to push him off the plate. But I don't believe for a second it was meant to hit him.

Re: Pirates fans are livid
Champan seems pretty nasty.I don't think he cares one bit what any of those guys think about him(player or fans)and if he didn't do it on purpose tonight he might do it tomorrow just for being accused.

Re: Pirates fans are livid
I guess its a rivalry, then, again.
Cool. I have hated the Pirates for my entire life. Hated them in the 70s with a passion. Hated them through the 80s and into the early 90s. I find it easy to access the old hate. Feels good. |

Re: Pirates fans are livid
If I'm one of those Pirate players I' privatly hoping its forgotten,I mean do you want your pitcher retaliating knowing Chapman may come in and answer that.Don't think so.

Re: Pirates fans are livid
Maybe "Cutch" should worry about backing up the LFer rather than complaining about getting hit.
