In a related note, nice to see the PiRATeS not responding-in-kind as regards hit-by-pitches. What the hell was that? And Byrd last night?

A.J. is a class act. If he cannot return he certainly will be missed.

Pirates caught with their junk in their zipper. No plan to find a number 2 starter knowing this was his last year,

That's a major blow if he is done and by the sounds of it he quite possibly is. He already had Tommy John surgery.

From AJ to JA is their plan. Hopefully Searge can work his magic again.

I'm sayin' it aint so. Tests showed it as a strained flexor tendon No ligament damage. AJ says he will pitch as soon as possible, probably in a month. I'm guessing he won't pitch until about two weeks before end of season to give him max time to heal. Then that will be time to get ready for the World Series run!

Happy to have read that. He didn't deserve to go out in a manner like what had been speculated.
