Official 2012 Pittsburgh Pirates Thread

who hit him?

hopefully pedro

otherwise its very upsetting. but if it was pedro, hey, at least it was a sign of life. is that wrong to think?

[Letang Is The Truth]

I think he hit himself

[Mr. Colby]

If this were hockey he'd have stayed in the game

But it's baseball, so he should be ready to go on a strict pitch count by mid-July

[KennyTheKangaroo]

right because the performance requirements of baseball and hockey are exactly the same.

That has to be someone who posts here. Fess up.

A.J. Burnett has been diagnosed with an orbital fracture of his right eye...He will undergo surgery tomorrow in Pittsburgh.

[Mr. Colby]

I don't think orbital fracture surgery has a long recovery time, but it's probably going to be a close call to be ready for opening day

[ulf]

at least he'll be able to throw bullpens and stuff. Harrison missed a few weeks but he was obviously completely out of commission as a linebacker.

[Rocco]

So will Ron Cook's next article be that Burnett intentionally hurt himself to avoid pitching for the Pirates?

[columbia]

It seems like a rational move.

In honor of our AJ Burnett's triumph injury, I became a 20 game season ticket holder today. Wooo!

Where are your seats?

[Mr. Colby]

Good stuff Kovy! My dad's company has season tickets about 4 rows back on the 3rd base side in section 23, and I end up with the tickets for free about 15-20 games a year. Just awesome

[KennyTheKangaroo]

Kovy, colby, beerman, malka, kenny the kangaroo, rocco? anyone else?

So who takes burnetts spot in the rotation? Is chaz going to be ready for opening day? Or are we going to see both correia and brad lincoln/rudy owens/jeff locke/some other shlub in the rotation?

[cheesesteakwithegg]

Anyone know if the home opener is going to be televised? I checked on the Pirates website, and it didnt say.

[Mr. Colby]

That sucks. Looks like Correia is back in

[steve784]

I'm sure it will be on Root.

Edit: Actually, since it's the Phillies, ESPN perhaps?

Probably see Morton/PGK/Correia/McDonald/Bedard to start the year in some order. I'd rather see Lincoln than Correia but I'd be surprised if that happened. This may be Lincoln's last best chance to prove he can be a starter. And if Morton isn't ready Lincoln will take his place. Oh, and the Pirates have the toughest April schedule in baseball.
