Re: Pirates fans are livid
Between Kimo and Hines Ward Pittsburgh has had more than its fair share of chreap shots. Perhaps McCutcheon will stop diving at the plate.

Re: Pirates fans are livid
Forgive the Pirates and their fans. They just know how to act in a pennant race this late in the season. It's been 20 years since they have sniffed a winning record much less a playoff spot.
 That was maybe a knockdown pitch but not an intentional HBP. Its just effective wildness by Chapman.

Re: Pirates fans are livid
This player has singlehandedly carried this team. I asked the question why teams were pitching to him long ago on these boards, but I believe a pitch got away from Chapman. McCutcheon's reaction was immature and childish. Regardless, their fans will play it up for all it's worth,.. Such is sports fandom.

Re: Pirates fans are livid
The guy is having an incredible career season, and should have a nice career, but...
Who is Andrew McCutchen? Is he too good to see a pitch not where he desires it to be? LaRussa attitude with no leg to stand on.

Re: Pirates fans are livid
Didn't McCutchon take Chapman deep last time they met?

Re: Pirates fans are livid
As much as some of us may say "time to brush him back" or even "_____ needs to be plunked" it rarely happens.
However, there may not have been a better time all season long to throw a purpose pitch than that AB. |

Re: Pirates fans are livid
McCutcheon and the Pissburgh fans planned on them coming in here this weekend and making a major statement. Losing the first game of the series kind of limits them to making a minor comment or two. Got to vent their collective spleens somewhere.
