Re: Pirates fans are livid
I'm just hoping if/when they do retaliate, we don't charge the mound. The last thing we need right now is any suspensions, or Votto and BP slugging it out while injured.

While I don't think hitting Cutch was intentional, I get where he's coming from. IMO, one of our guys will get plunked tonight and we all move on. I don't mind a rivalry being rekindled. Good for the fans, players and sport.

PS I would just like to add, that after seven years, and 3,606 posts on Redszone, I've finally decided to go with an avatar. What took me so long? Good question. |

McCutchen stands close to the plate, Hanigan set up inside and the pitch was in a little too much. Good hitters get pitched inside. That's why Votto gets hit or brushed back. It's baseball, and a HBP there makes no sense. It's only a 3-0 lead, and why wake a team that was sleepwalking all night. I don't blame McCutchen for being mad, though. That's got to hurt. He should be more upset for being a spectator on Heisey's inside-the-park HR.

Re: Pirates fans are livid
JoJo thinks somebody on MLB.com is livid about something anytime someone wants to find someone livid about something.
JoJo is glad for redszone.

Re: Pirates fans are livid
So McCutcheon says this is going to fire the Pirates up?
They're having their best season in years, are playing well, and they're playing the first-place team they've been chasing all summer and THIS is now going to fire them up? OK, then. Go back in your irrelevant hole soon Pirates. |

Re: Pirates fans are livid
I'm not real keen on the "Cutch" nickname, esp. on a Reds fan board, but that might just be my pet peeve.
