Pirates Recall Bryan Morris
Busy day at TiGO. I live for this type of thing! The #Pirates have recalled RHP Bryan Morris from Triple-A Indianapolis and have designated RHP Chris Leroux for assignment. — Pittsburgh Pirates (@Pirates) April 12, 2013 If you read my preview, you would have seen this: One must assume at this point in…

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Cincinnati Reds – Game 10
One must assume at this point in time Jonathan Sanchez and Chris Leroux will be 1. and 1a. when some of these pitchers start to get healthy. It was pretty infuriating to me that Sanchez broke camp with the team in the first place. If he stays much longer I just might have to take…

Roster Watch: Chris Leroux
