Hansen, Bautista outrighted to Triple-A; Bootcheck elects free agency
By Jenifer Langosch/MLB.com
In order to start making additional room on their 40-man roster, the Pirates outrighted right-handed pitchers Denny Bautista and Craig Hansen to Triple-A on Tuesday. Chris Bootcheck was also removed from team's 40-man roster but informed the Pirates that he will declare free agency since his length of Minor League service time gives him the option to do so.
With those moves, the Pirates now have 38 players on the team's 40-man roster. Hansen had been on the 60-day disabled list and therefore wasn't counting as a player on the Pirates' roster even before being outrighted.
With these three moves, general manager Neal Huntington has begun the process of clearing space for the Pirates to make necessary additions to the roster in advance of the Major League Rule 5 Draft in December. Too, any open space on the roster would allow the Pirates to make a selection in that Rule 5 Draft, which Huntington has done in each of his seasons as the Pirates' GM.
The Pirates do in fact have some roster shuffling left to do. Right-handers Jose Ascanio and Evan Meek, both of whom ended the season on the 60-day DL, will need to be added in the next few weeks. Those two additions alone would fill the roster back to its maximum.
Right-hander Tyler Yates is also currently on the 60-day DL. However, the Pirates almost certainly won't tender Yates a contract since the right-hander will not be healthy enough to pitch until midway through the 2010 season at the earliest. Yates underwent Tommy John surgery in July.

August 15: Pirates (46-69) @ Cubs (59-55); Bixler recalled, Bautista selected, Salazar DFAed, Ascanio to DL
Well, we have quite the checklist to go through on this early morning in Chicago… Since Friday's 17-2 trouncing by the Cubs, the Pirates have made four roster moves. Right-hander Denny Bautista and shortstop-turned-utilityman Brian Bixler walked into the clubhouse at about 9:30 CT this morning, fresh off a flight from Columbus, Ohio, where the Triple-A Indians are playing a series.
Bautista takes a spot in the bullpen that was freed up by having to place righty Jose Ascanio on the disabled list with right shoulder tendinitis. Manager John Russell said that Ascanio first start feeling some soreness during his Aug. 11 appearance in Colorado and continued to feel the tightness while throwing lightly on Friday.
The Pirates have had all sorts of issues keeping their bullpen arms healthy this year. Craig Hansen hasn't pitched since April and is out for the year. Tyler Yates is out for the season after having to undergo Tommy John surgery in July. Evan Meek suffered a left oblique strain already on this road trip. Donnie Veal is just returning to throwing after being sidelined with a sprained left index finger. And Phil Dumatrait is finishing up a rehab assignment in Triple-A, though he is expected to join the Pirates' bullpen next Friday.
Bautista had a 4.88 ERA in 36 appearances with Indianapolis this season. In 48 innings, Bautista struck out 58 and walked 34. It's that control that plagued Bautista during his time with the Major League club last season.
With Bautista needing to get on the 40-man roster and that roster full, the Pirates were forced to designated outfielder Jeff Salazar for assignment. The Pirates now have 10 days to trade, release or outright Salazar to the Minors if he passes through waivers. Salazar went 1-for-26 with the Pirates, playing primarily as a pinch hitter.
Salazar's exit led to Bixler's entrance, as the Pirates needed to call up a position player already on the team's 40-man roster. Bixler has recently been converted to a utility player, splitting time at short, second and in center field since the beginning of July. In all, Bixler has started 60 games at short, 24 at second and 11 in center since the start of the season.
Bixler is not expected to get substantial playing time, though Russell said he hopes that Bixler's recent offensive success in Triple-A will be sustained off the bench here. Bixler had a 15-game hitting streak with Indianapolis at the time of the call up and had hit .335 since July 1. He was recently named Indianapolis' July Player of the Month.
Phew… got all that?
As for today's other news, notes and randomness…
- Pitching coach Joe Kerrigan and Charlie Morton, who gave up 10 runs in his one-inning start here on Friday, had a lengthy discussion early this morning out on the bullpen mound. They also talked at length Friday afternoon after Morton met with the media postgame.
- Veal threw his second side session on Saturday, with Russell watching. Veal is still expected to be reexamined in Pittsburgh on Monday.
- Catcher Ryan Doumit is back in the lineup after a two-game hiatus. Doumit's right wrist is said to be just fine.
- Luis Cruz is getting a start at second and Ramon Vazquez is getting the start at third this afternoon. Just a day off for Andy LaRoche and Delwyn Young, so nothing more there.
- This isn't a pretty stat: The Pirates are just 4-52 when trailing after six innings. That doesn't say much for late-inning comeback chances.
- Saturday is Zach Duke's fourth go at 10 wins, though had he had some bullpen and offensive help, he'd be well past that mark already. He's had some success at Wrigley Field, though not recently. In his first five starts here, Duke went 3-1 with a 1.43. In his last two, he's 0-2 wiht a 6.33 ERA. His last win at Wrigley: May 2, 2006.
- Double-A third baseman Pedro Alvarez went 3-for-3 with a home run for Altoona on Friday night. The homer was his 23rd of the season. Alvarez has hit .468 in August.
- Lefty Daniel Moskos pitched eight strong innings in that Double-A game. He allowed two runs on five hits and struck out eight. The start was the longest of his career.

Red Sox 4, Pirates 3
The Pirates have officially told Craig Monroe that he is on the team — we didn't get official word this morning, so I figured I'd update this bit of news now.
As of 5 p.m., the Pirates were in the process of contacting whoever is being removed from the team's 40-man roster to make room for Monroe. Once that player is reached, the move will be officially announced. Check back for an update later this evening.
One thing that GM Neal Huntington (pictured above) has tried to emphasize – and which I'll do again here – is that the Pirates team that stands on the Busch Stadium field Monday for the National Anthem very well might not be the team that fills PNC Park midway through the month. In other words, the Pirates have options, plenty they feel, to call upon should any of the 25 players the team leaves camp with falter.
So who would be the most likely to come up soon?
There's Andy Phillips to consider, as he was putting himself in position to be the team's utility infielder until a back injury cost him three weeks in March. The Pirates want to still see Phillips play second, and if he can go down to Triple-A, get in some at-bats and move around the field, the Pirates could very well swap Luis Cruz for Phillips pretty soon.
Andrew McCutchen is another one to keep your eye on. The Pirates have a few more areas of development for McCutchen to meet, but as soon as he does, he should be in Pittsburgh. Whether that's early summer or late is a point of interest. And be sure that if Nyjer Morgan or Brandon Moss struggle to be everyday contributors that the Pirates will have to look hard at McCutchen.
From a starting standpoint, Virgil Vasquez and Jason Davis would be the two likeliest candidates to be called up should a starting need arise. Jeff Karstens is going to have to continue to earn his rotation spot, and should he slip, the Pirates won't hesitate to make a move.
Then there is the bullpen, which could very well be a revolving door all season. Actually, I'd bet on it being that way. There certainly will be some up and down movement; it's just a question of who and when. As it stands now, Denny Bautista, Chris Bootcheck and either Evan Meek or Jesse Chavez (whoever doesn't make the roster) would seem to be the first in line for a call-up. With so many unknowns in that bullpen, there is the potential for plenty of experimenting.
Meek, who is battling for the final bullpen spot, threw a light side session on Wednesday despite still looking visibly ill with bronchitis. The Pirates are hopeful that he'll be well enough to pitch in Thursday's game against the Reds, as they'd like another look at the right-hander before making final roster decisions.
Meek last pitched on March 20. He was then shut down for a week due to a tired shoulder. Then, just as he was cleared to return to the mound, Meek came down with the stomach flu and then bronchitis.
Paul Maholm has been waiting to have his "bad outing" all spring. In his mind, it came on Wednesday. Maholm's final line wasn't awful – 4 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 HR – but Maholm definitely wasn't satisfied.
"Today was the first day I actually felt bad," he said. "To go all spring and only feel bad in one start is pretty good. You could throw every pitch out but the fastball today, since that's how things were going. [I'm] glad to get [the bad outing] out of the way."
When Maholm surrendered a three-run homer in the fourth, it snapped a streak of 18 2/3 scoreless innings for the left-hander. He finished the spring with a 1.52 ERA. And like all of us, Maholm is just relieved finally to have finished.
"More than forever," Maholm answered when asked how long Spring Training felt. "Eternity in Bradenton. Seven weeks in sunny Florida is way too long."
I have to selfishly add an "amen" to that.
Just as Maholm did on Wednesday (only pitching four innings), all the starters will back off on their pitch counts this week. Each has already reached the 90-pitch mark in an outing this spring, and this is the last time through the rotation before the season starts.
Minor Matters: LHP Tom Gorzelanny threw five shutout innings in a Triple-A game on Wednesday. He allowed four hits, two walks and struck out six. Since being sent down to Minor League camp, Gorzelanny has allowed three earned runs, nine hits and four walks in 12 innings. He has 13 strikeouts in that span.
Up Next: The Pirates will have two games on Thursday. The Major League players will head over to Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota for a 1:05 p.m. ET game against the Reds. Ian Snell, assuming that he is over a bout with the stomach flu, will start for Pittsburgh against Cincinnati's Edinson Volquez.
The Pirates will also host Manatee Community College at McKechnie Field on Thursday in the two team's annual charity game. Vasquez, recently demoted into the Triple-A rotation, is expected to pitch for the Pirates. The rest of the team playing in the exhibition game will likely be made up of players from Minor League camp.
Day 47: Red Sox @ Pirates; Karstens, Monroe, Cruz in; Eight others out
Today held the big wave of cuts we had all been anticipating… and finally, the final 25-man roster is coming into view. Here's the news from this morning…
- Jeff Karstens has been named the team's fifth starter. Virgil Vasquez was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis where he will be in the starting rotation. Ultimately, the Pirates decided against keeping Vasquez with the big league team as a long reliever. The thought is that if the need for a long reliever presents itself, the team will dip into its Minor League options.
- Utility infielder Luis Cruz has been told that he will be on the team, barring any unforseen acquisition. Craig Monroe has not been officially added to the roster, though GM Neal Huntington said he expects that to be done by the end of the day today. Monroe had an escape clause in his deal that would have allowed him to leave the organization today if he did not make the team. The Pirates are ready to put Monroe on the club, but have to clear a spot on the 40-man roster before officially doing so.
- Three relievers — Jason Davis, Chris Bootcheck and Denny Bautista — were reassigned to Minor League camp. Also reassigned to Minor League camp were Andy Phillips, Garrett Jones, Eric Kratz and Jeff Salazar.
- There are now five relievers — Craig Hansen, Sean Burnett, Donnie Veal, Evan Meek and Jesse Chavez — competing for the final four bullpen spots. Huntington said that none of those relievers has won a job just yet. Hansen and Burnett are out of options, so they are likely to break camp with the team. Donnie Veal must make the team as a Rule 5 pick or be offered back to the Cubs, and Huntington said on Sunday that it would be hard to leave Veal off the roster at this point. That would seem to leave Meek and Chavez fighting for that final spot.
- Meek's health is improving, but he is still out with bronchitis. His shoulder feels fine, though. Huntington said that the team would like to give Meek another opportunity to show where he is physically and command-wise before making any final bullpen decisions. The question is whether Meek can get healthy quickly enough.
- Though the Pirates have been scouring the waiver wire and calling teams about possible trades, Huntington said that there are no imminent acquisitions likely.
"We continue to look and we continue to explore. Some of the people that we've talked to have chosen other opportunities. Some of the people that we've talked to our looking for more than we are willing to give and that's in trades and free agency. Nothing is imminent, nor do we feel like we have to do anything to add. We like what we have. Can we be better? We can always be better. But we feel good about the options that we have internally really at every spot. Now we just need young guys to step up and capture their opportunities."
- Though jobs have been handed out, Huntington made it quite clear that jobs have to be kept. He singled out left field (Nyjer Morgan), right field (Brandon Moss), third base (Andy LaRoche), the rotation and the four relievers-to-be-named-soon as having the most to prove early.
- With Wednesday's cuts, the Pirates have 27 players remaining in camp. Phil Dumatrait is scheduled to start the season on the 15-day DL, which means that there is only one other cut necessary before the start of the season.
And if that isn't enough for you… here's the starting lineup, one that looks as I'd expect it to look on Opening Day on Monday.
Pirates lineup:
- Nyjer Morgan (LF)
- Freddy Sanchez (2B)
- Nate McLouth (CF)
- Ryan Doumit (C)
- Adam LaRoche (1B)
- Brandon Moss (RF)
- Andy LaRoche (3B)
- Jack Wilson (SS)
- Paul Maholm (LHP)
Red Sox lineup:
- Jacoby Ellsbury (CF)
- Dustin Pedroia (2B)
- Chris Carter (1B)
- Rocco Baldelli (DH)
- Jed Lowrie (SS)
- George Kottaras (C)
- Chip Ambres (LF)
- Ryan Kalish (RF)
- Gil Velazquez (3B)
Pitcher: Josh Beckett
Pirates 7, Rays 7 (11 innings)
The competition for those final rotation vacancies spotlighted Tom Gorzelanny and Jeff Karstens on Sunday.
After two fairly efficient innings, Gorzelanny stumbled slightly in his third and final inning. However, he did successfully limit the damage to just two runs despite allowing four hits (all singles) in the frame.
"Today was a really good step forward," he said afterward. "I feel strong out there. The ball feels good coming out of my hand."
Gorzelanny had targeted being able to finish four innings, but the extended third inning kept him from reaching that mark for the first time this spring.
Karstens also tossed three innings and had arguably his sharpest outing yet. After giving up five runs in his last 4 2/3 innings, Karstens pitched three scoreless frames and allowed only two baserunners.
"It was better today," manager John Russell said of the two performances. "More strikes. Down in the zone. It was progress."
It could very well come down to Karstens and Gorzelanny for that final rotation spot.
When asked if he was comfortable penciling any other starters into the rotation, GM Neal Huntington wouldn't define Ian Snell and Zach Duke as being locks just yet, but did say that "they certainly are cementing their inside track."
Huntington was then asked who else has made an early impression for the final two spots. Huntington's response: "[Ross] Ohlendorf has thrown the ball well at times. Virgil Vasquez has thrown the ball well at times. But I can't say that anyone has really stepped out and put a stranglehold on one of those two spots."
It's assumed that Karstens and Gorzelanny are both still in the mix, as well.
Huntington also said to expect a significant wave of cuts early this week. With 53 players left in camp, the Pirates are going to start quickly clearing space so that those in the Major League camp can get sufficient playing time during these last three weeks.
Players who are already slotted in to start the season in the Minors are going to be among the first cut. Also, expect the Pirates to cut one to two starters (my guess: Jimmy Barthmaier and possibly Daniel McCutchen), so that the rest of the starters can continue to build up their innings. With the way starters are piggybacking right now, there would come a point where the Pirates wouldn't be able to get any relievers into games if they don't slim down their starters in camp.
There was a nice glimpse of the future (a future that is coming pretty quickly…) for the Bucs on Sunday. Andrew McCutchen and Jose Tabata, both of whom could be in the outfield at PNC Park by the end of the season, each started and made their own impact. Pedro Alvarez entered the game midway through to ensure that all three of the organization's top prospects were on the field at once.
In addition to a spectacular catch on a full out sprint, McCutchen had two hits (one triple) and scored once.
Tabata went 2-for-4 with a double, RBI and run scored. He also threw out Carl Crawford at home when Crawford tried to score from second on a single.
"This guy is under the radar a little bit, but he's someone to watch," Russell said. "He's a special kind of hitter."
And though Alvarez, had just two at-bats, he had time for a monster three-run homer with two out in the bottom of the ninth that closed a four run deficit to just one. The home run hit halfway up the batter's eye in dead center (414 feet from home).
"It's been a lot of fun," Alvarez said of his Spring Training experience. "They've all kind of taken me under their wing. Just the fact that I'm here is a huge stride in itself. I would do anything to be able to play with these guys. It's pretty cool to be a "candidate" to have an impact on a Major League club."
World Baseball Classic update:
- Snell will start for Team Puerto Rico on Monday when the Puerto Rican team faces Team Venezuela.
- Ramon Vazquez, also on Team Puerto Rico, went 1-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Puerto Rico's statement win against the US on Saturday night.
- John Grabow pitched for the US in that game and had two strikeouts in a scoreless inning of relief.
Up Next: It's the first game under the lights at McKechnie Field this year on Monday and it will be the Rays coming to town. The game, which is scheduled to start at 7:05 p.m. ET, is the first of two night games at McKechnie this spring. The facility hosted its first night game last season after lights were installed.
Scheduled to pitch for the Pirates: Paul Maholm, Denny Bautista, Chris Bootcheck, Craig Hansen, Donnie Veal. Tampa Bay is scheduled to start Andy Sonnanstine.
Also, note that the game will be televised by FSN-Pittsburgh, so those of you in the Pittsburgh area can get your first glimpse at your 2009 Bucs club.
Pirates 6, Phillies 5
Zach Duke had a stellar game, his best yet in what had already been an cumulatively impressive spring.
Fellow starter Daniel McCutchen (pictured to left), however, didn't fare so well. McCutchen took a step back in his Spring Training progression on Friday — 1 1/3 innings pitched, six hits, five earned runs, one walk, one strikeout.
What had McCutchen most disappointed, too, was that this outing came on the heels of his strongest spring showing his last time out.
On Thursday, it was non-roster invitee Craig Monroe (three homers) who stole the show. On Friday, it was non-roster invitee Jeff Salazar who hit the headline shot. Salazar's three-run home run with one out in the ninth sealed the come-from-behind win for the team.
Both Salazar and Monroe are battling for a backup outfield spot that only one of them will be able to get. But the Pirates have to like the fact that both guys, along with a number of others, are going to make those final roster decisions as tough as possible.
"It's a nice problem to have," manager John Russell said. "Last year we were trying to search for things a lot, especially when the season got going and we needed help. We felt like we were in a bind. This year, we like the options we have."
Monroe still likely has the leg up in the competition for that bench spot because the Pirates ideally need a right-handed hitting outfield option. Still, Salazar, who has three home runs this spring, would give the Pirates an intriguing option down at Triple-A if he starts there and then the Major League club runs into a need for another outfielder.
No new injury updates today. Eric Hinske (left rib cage contusion), Andy Phillips (lower back stiffness) and Shelby Ford (sprained right wrist) all stayed back at McKechnie Field for the day. As mentioned in the blog this morning, Brandon Moss has also returned to Bradenton and seemed encouraged by decreasing swelling in his right thumb. Now it's just a matter of how long it will take Moss to get the strength back in his grip.
When Salazar's three-run homer in the top of the ninth ensured a bottom half of the inning, former Expos pitcher Jeremy Powell got to make an appearance before the day's end. Powell, who was signed by the Pirates to a Minor League deal this offseason, is participating in Minor League camp, but traveled with the team to Clearwater, Fla., in case the need for an extra reliever arose.
This is Powell's first time back playing professionally in the US since 2000, when he was playing in Montreal. From 2001-08, Powell pitched in Japan.
Up Next: The mighty Yankees come to town on Saturday, except for they won't, uh, be so mighty this time around. New York has a split-squad on the schedule tomorrow, and I'd suspect that most of the Major League players on the team will stay behind for the game in Tampa. Sorry to all of you who bought tickets for the game expecting to see the Yankees' Major League team.
Pirates starter Ross Ohlendorf will get to face his former team for the first time in what will be Ohlendorf's fourth spring appearance. Denny Bautista, Chris Bootcheck, Sean Burnett, Jesse Chavez, Craig Hansen and Donnie Veal are also scheduled to pitch for the Pirates.
The Yankees will start right-hander Phil Hughes.
For those back in Pittsburgh, the game will be broadcast on 104.7 FM.
Pirates 2, Blue Jays 2 (11 innings)
Starter Paul Maholm may have said it best when he jokingly approached reporters and said: "Same old, same old."
That's about right for the lefty, who continues to breeze through his spring appearances looking more and more in regular season form by the outing. His efficiency has been remarkable.
On Wednesday, Maholm increased his workload to four innings. He allowed three hits, but kept Toronto off the scoreboard. He struck out one.
"I felt comfortable," he said afterward. "For me, you go out there, compete and get guys out. I'm not really worried about necessarily working on specific things. I go out there and challenge guys and make them hit it on the ground."
Unlike most of the other starters who have attributed spring struggles to the fact that they are using their outings to work on certain pitches or mechanical adjustments, Maholm went out on Wednesday and threw every pitch in his repertoire.
Of the 38 pitches he threw, 28 were strikes. And mastering what pitching coach Joe Kerrigan has preached, Maholm threw first pitch strikes to 11 of the 14 hitters he faced.
"Right now, I have a rhythm of challenging guys, no matter which pitch I'm throwing, and trying to get strikes with it," he said. "I make sure the ball's down so if they're early-swinging, the ball's hit on the ground."
Maholm has now allowed just five hits and one run in nine Grapefruit League innings. He also said on Wednesday that he has never felt better duing Spring Training than he does now. That's a benefit of the confidence he's carried over from last season and the consistency he's found in his mechanics.
Jeff Karstens continues to make his pitch for a rotation spot, as he made his third spring appearance on Wednesday. Karstens allowed two runs on three hits and struck out two in two innings.
Other than Karstens' pitches looking "flat," as manager John Russell put it, to three consecutive hitters in the sixth, Russell and Karstens both appeared pleased with the appearance.
"On the whole, though, it was a positive outing," Karstens said. "I feel good about it, other than giving up a couple of runs. I threw a lot of strikes. The big thing I need to do now is keep the ball down in the strike zone. I'm still leaving too many pitches up and I can't get away with that in the regular season."
Karstens threw just 28 pitches (18 for strikes) and was taken out after two innings. Don't worry, though — that had nothing to do with health or ineffectiveness. Though Karstens is being built up as a starter (and as a rotation candidate for the Pirates), the Pirates cut back on his work Wednesday so that Maholm could go four innings.
Karstens will be brought back either a day before or after Maholm next time out so that both of them can build up their innings count on different days. If the two were to pitch consecutively again, there would potentially be no room to squeeze in an appearance by a reliever.
Bucs bits:
- With a scoreless appearance in the ninth, Evan Meek has now made six scoreless spring appearances. Meek has not walked a batter yet this spring and has allowed just two hits. He has five strikeouts.
- Former Pirate T.J. Beam (who was claimed by Toronto after being designated for assignment by Pittsburgh back in January) pitched a scoreless inning against his former team.
- With a walk in his only plate appearance of the day, Brian Bixler extended his on-base streak to eight consecutive games.
Up Next: The Pirates face the Twins on Thursday in a 1:05 p.m. game at McKechnie Field. Scheduled to take the mound for the Pirates are: Virgil Vasquez, Tyler Yates, Jesse Chavez, Chris Bootcheck, Denny Bautista and Sean Burnett. Minnesota is scheduled to start Scott Baker.
The game will be webcast on www.pirates.com. Also, Sirius XM will be broadcasting live from McKechnie Field prior to the game. The "Power Alley" show will be on air from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. and will highlight the Pirates outlook for the season.
Pirates 10, Twins 1
Obviously the big story/concern of the day is the severity of Brandon Moss' (pictured left) thumb injury.
There's a story up on the main site with all the ins and outs of Moss' injury, so I won't rehash it here. That story can be found here.
There's a chance we might know more later Saturday night once the Pirates get the results of Moss' X-rays. If not, though, the Pirates should know tomorrow how long they can expect their right fielder out for.
We won't go into worst-case scenarios just yet, since we don't know anything, but in the meantime, the Pirates outfielders are dropping pretty quickly.
Here's what we're looking at on the injury front right now:
- Eric Hinske has been out since Feb. 26 with a left rib cage strain. He's progressing, but isn't expected back until the latter part of next week.
- Steve Pearce, too, hasn't appeared in a game since Feb. 26 and is dealing with a strained left calf. Pearce is tentatively expected back late next week as well, but that's only if everything progresses well.
- Jose Tabata is slowly working his way back to throwing after being shut down because of some mild inflammation in his right shoulder. Manager John Russell said that Tabata could play as a DH maybe as early as Monday, but his return to the outfield isn't so imminent.
So with the slew of outfielder injuries, where does that leave the team? The club has five healthy outfielders left in camp — Nyjer Morgan, Nate McLouth, Andrew McCutchen, Jeff Salazar and Craig Monroe. However, they also have a number of listed infielders who can play the outfield, too. Garrett Jones, Andy Phillips and Luis Cruz all fall in this category.
Also, don't be surprised if the Pirates dip into mini-camp for a few extra bodies to hold them over until these injured outfielders start returning.
Lost in the news of Moss' injury and a hit parade by the offense were some notable pitching performances. Starter Zach Duke and Russell both were pleased with the Duke's third start of the spring. Unlike some of Duke's rotation counterparts earlier this week, he was successfully able to finish three innings of work.
"I left a couple pitches up in the zone. Other than that I felt pretty good," Duke said. "I'm definitely where I'd like to be [right now]. My feel for my secondary pitches is a lot further along than it has been at this point in past years. It's a very encouraging sign for me."
Duke allowed one run on three hits in his three inning. He didn't issue a walk and struck out one. Afterward, Duke credited some improved offseason workouts and work with a physical therapist (arm care specialist as he so perfectly put it) to his increased strength and sturdiness up to this point.
"I liked the way the ball was staying down more today," Russell said. "His breaking ball was more consistent. He used both sides. When he does that, he's pretty efficient."
Daniel McCutchen, also fighting for a rotation spot like Duke, also made a nice impression with Russell. After struggling a bit in his first two spring appearaces, a more relaxed McCutchen took the mound on Saturday and had notable success.
He allowed just one baserunner in two innings.
"He's starting to trust what he's doing more," Russell said. "He's looking more comfortable on the mound, and the more outings he gets, the better rhythm he's getting."
McCutchen is still likely to start the season in the Triple-A rotation, but he's giving the Pirates a good look now at what they can expect from him in the Majors down the road.
The long line of relievers continue to throw scoreless innings this spring. Craig Hansen, Chris Bootcheck and Tyler Yates all kept that 0.00 Spring Training ERA with scoreless one-inning appearances on Saturday. Each allowed one baserunner.
Hansen has accumulated five scoreless innings, Bootcheck has accumulated six and Yates has accumualted four.
World Baseball Classic Update:
- Lefty reliever Dave Davidson pitched the eighth inning for Team Canada on Saturday in the Canadians' 6-5 loss to Team USA. Davidson pitched a scoreless frame, allowing one hit, one walk and striking out one.
- Ramon Vazquez earned the start at third base and is batting second for Team Puerto Rico against Team Panama. However, that game is just getting underway as I sit here typing that, so you'll be on your own for checking on his final stats.
For those wanting to check in with former Pirate John Van Benschoten, I wanted to pass along a link. My MLB.com colleague in Chicago, Scott Merkin, talked with JVB for this story and pulled out some pretty good thoughts from the always quotable right-hander.
Up Next: The Pirates play at home on Sunday against the Astros in a 1:05 p.m. ET contest. Ross Ohlendorf will make the start for the Pirates and is scheduled to be followed by Jesse Chavez, Matt Capps, Denny Bautista and Donnie Veal. Brandon Backe will start for Houston.
For those coming to McKechnie Field on Sunday, be sure to show up early. The Pirates will be holding their third annual street fair outside the stadium on 9th St. W. Players will be signing free autographs and there will be plenty of activities for kids.
For those back in Pittsburgh, the game will be broadcast on 104.7 FM

Pirates 2, Twins 1
Third baseman Andy LaRoche is now 4-for-8 this spring after knocking the game-winning two-run homer on Wednesday.
After a pitiful start as a Pirate last year, LaRoche has come into camp noticeably looser and more relaxed than he was at the end of last season. And the results have followed.
"He's had a very good approach to this point," manager John Russell said. "He understood what he went through last year. He admits that he put too much pressure on himself to do too much. We just want him to be himself. If he stays within himself then he's got a good idea of what he's doing."
LaRoche also made a nice defensive stop on Wednesday, one of a handful of good plays he's made this spring.
Eric Hinske (left rib cage contusion) continues to cite improvement, but is still not ready to return to the field. Russell said that Hinske could appear in a game as early as this weekend, but the most likely scenario is that he sits until after the off-day on Tuesday.
Up Next: The Pirates make the oh-so-short trip south to Sarasota (can you tell your beat writer likes that close drive?) tomorrow to face the Reds.. again. Just think, by the end of the season, the Pirates will have played the Reds 24 times between Spring Training and regular season games.
The Pirates have Paul Maholm, Jeff Karstens, Donnie Veal and Denny Bautista lined up to pitch.

Pirates 2, Reds 1
Luis Cruz (pictured left) returned to the field after missing a week with a left hip flexor strain. He entered the game to play second and aided the Pirates' win with a sacrifice bunt in the eighth that moved outfielder Andrew McCutchen into scoring position.
The Pirates will ease Cruz back into playing time, but manager John Russell said that he will then use Cruz around the infield and outfield to test his versatility. That includes playing first base, something that Russell says he sees happening probably next week.
Third baseman Neil Walker came less than a step short of completing the always unusal triple play. Walker fielded a sharp grounder off the bat of Jeff Keppinger, tagged one runner and threw onto second for the second out. However, Freddy Sanchez's throw to first came in just a half step too late for the third out.
What's a bit ironic is that Walker said that the thought of a triple play passed through his head a few pitches before the play.
"When I saw [the runner] was right there, I was surprised," he said after the game. "[If the hitter was] one step slower, I would have had it. It would have been fun, a lot of fun."
For thos curious, the last triple play turned by the Pirates in the regular season came back in 1993 against the Cardinals — SS Jay Bell to 2B Carlos Garcia to 1B Kevin Young.
With the win, the Pirates improved to 5-1 in Grapefruit League play, the best record in the 16-team league. … Right-hander Evan Meek recorded his second save of the spring on Monday. Both times he has come in to pitch the ninth with one-run leads.
Up Next: Tomorrow it's the Netherlands team that comes to McKechnie Field for a 1:05 p.m. contest. The club will bring some familiar faces with it as well — Bert Blyleven (pitching coach), Hensley "Bam Bam" Meulens (hitting coach) and players Randall Simon and Yurendell DeCaster all have former ties to the Pirates.
Sidney Ponson will make the start for the Netherlands. Ross Ohlendorf will start for the Pirates and is scheduled to be followed by Matt Capps, Jesse Chavez, Denny Bautista and Donnie Veal.

IRVING With the surprise announcement of Lake Shore Hospital's planned closure for Jan. 31, many questions have been raised by the public.
Rumors have circulated about the hospital and the public is watching the situation closely as 460 jobs and close access to emergency and health care are at risk.
Two concerns that have been brought to the OBSERVER's attention involve disappearance of the signs announcing the hospital's closure outside the facility and also what will happen to the TLC primary care clinics in Forestville, Cassadaga, Gowanda and Conewango.
Divisional Director of TLC Health Network Scott Butler addressed these issues in a recent phone interview.
Butler explained the signs announcing the facility's closure on Jan. 31 were taken down due to a timing error.
"It was a simple error. Part of the closure plan that the hospital submitted to the department of health asks how we intend to inform the public. We said we were willing to put up signs, however, we jumped the gun a little bit because we did not know that they have to approve the entire plan before we started putting the signs up," he explained. "It was just a timing error."
Butler explained if the closure plan is approved by the department of health, then the signs will be put back up outside the hospital.
Butler also addressed the concern about the primary care clinics.
He said the clinics remain under TLC despite the split between Lake Shore and Brooks hospitals at the end of October.
He said whether this will be the case after a possible sale is up to the buyer.
"It is up to any potential buyer to express interests in the clinics or just in the hospital," he explained, adding the board has considered the possibility.
Butler said the board is considering options if the clinics are not included in a sale.
"We will explore all options if it happens," he explained. "Our main goal is to try to preserve as many health care offerings as we are able to."
In addition to the primary care clinics Lake Shore also offers emergency care, behavioral health, nursing home care, ambulatory surgery, coronary care and laboratory services.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Tax credits, paperwork requirements, education aid and even sparklers were on state lawmakers' to-do lists this year.
Did they get it all done? Not quite, but they did do more than grapple with heroin and marijuana last week. Take a look at some of the legislation the New York State Legislature passed (or didn't) in the final days of session. All bills now go to Gov. Andrew Cuomo for consideration.
And don't forget: Sen. David Valesky, D-Oneida, is coming in for an online Q&A on Monday.
The Legislature added two new facets to the young farmers' plan, sponsored by Sen. Patty Ritchie, R-Oswegatchie, and Assemblyman Bill Magee, D-Nelson. The incentives to draw young people into agriculture careers would now include a revolving loan fund for new farmers and help find surplus public and private land that could be turned into farms.
Talk of expediting the state's planned minimum wage rate hikes died.
State money could soon help pay for job certification training, under legislation from Assemblyman Al Stirpe, D-Cicero.
Put down the pen: Next year, you won't be required by state law to sign a letter from your boss restating how much you're paid.
Lawmakers amended state liquor law and cleared the way for Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville to move into Destiny USA.
Another bill would expand pension benefits to veterans of more current conflicts.
And lawmakers agreed to extend -- but not reform -- the state's brownfield tax credits.
Both houses agreed to delay full implementation of teacher evaluations that use the Common Core teaching standards and student test scores as measurements. Cuomo has agreed to this legislation.
Many school districts got a boost from "bullet aid," non-designated pots of money the Assembly and Senate hold back with the intention of spreading around their legislative districts, much like they used to with member items. The Syracuse schools will get an extra $1 million.
CPR lessons would be required in high schools, if Cuomo signs the bill.
The Assembly failed to expand caregiver rights to aunts, uncles, adult siblings and great-grandparents that grandparents now have when raising children whose own parents are unable to.
The state's Family Court system will get 25 new judges during the next two years. Oswego and Oneida counties are included in the expansion.
The Assembly failed to take up a package of bills from Valesky aimed at expanding protections of seniors who can be victims of elder abuse.
The Senate failed to take up a bill that would have created a public advocate for utility customers, an idea AARP has been lobbying for. New York remains the largest state without one.
More broadband Internet service may extend into rural areas after lawmakers passed legislation to make it easier for use federal loans for those underserved regions.
The Assembly failed to take up a bill that would allow drivers to keep proof of their vehicle insurance on their smartphone, rather than in the glove box.
And the Senate failed to take up legislation meant to reduce the amount of toxic chemicals in child products.
Insurance companies would be required to cover more costs associated with equipment needed for people with ostomies.
Cuomo and lawmakers also agreed to changes to health, education and penal laws to combat the rising use of heroin and other opioids.
Out-of-state massage therapists could now give lessons to New York's massagers.
Crime and Safety
Vince's Law finally passed. The bill, named after Vincent Russo, creates harsher penalties for people convicted with three or more DWIs within 15 years. If Cuomo signs the law, sponsored by Sen. John DeFrancisco, R-Syracuse, those people would face up to 15 years in prison.
The state is on track to redefine aggravated harassment, a law generally used to punish people for making threatening phone calls in domestic violence cases. A court decision struck down part of the law, saying it was overly broad. State lawmakers narrowed the definition, under legislation from Sen. Michael Nozzolio, R-Fayette, to communications (such as phone calls or emails) that are made with the intent to annoy or scare the recipient.
A bill would make it illegal to tattoo a dog or cat.
Soon, it could be state law to put your camera down and step away from any tiger.
And, once again, lawmakers have agreed to allow New Yorkers to celebrate the New Year and Fourth of July with sparklers. But don't reach for your matches yet. Cuomo has vetoed similar bills twice.

Letter to the Editor: Pro-vaccination forces are using propaganda and fear
The three invitation-only school meetings have been focused on altering your family's vaccination choices. Apparently, these people know what is best for you and your children, and here come the typical propaganda methods!
Shock and awe in the local paper. Dismiss/minimize dangers. Promote fear! Exaggerate vaccine effectiveness. And, most insidiously, an attempt to turn Islanders against each other.
Divide and conquer on Vashon? Really?
Can a 300-word letter adequately respond to an entire page worth of newsprint? No. And it makes me wonder about the upcoming community dinner. Supposedly they want a "conversation." I believe a conversation is a two-way street, and, sadly, it appears that they've already made up their minds. So if they're no longer listening, why talk?
Don't they know that Vashon parents, and Washingtonians in general, are exceptionally well-informed?
Since I can't attend the dinner, here are some thoughts about the recent articles.
All doctors love vaccines? No. Google "Doctors Against Vaccines."
Pertussis is "horrific!" Really? My sons and I (1, 3, 28) didn't find it horrific, just annoying. But that makes sense: Individual differences abound in both the experience of a disease and in vaccine reactions!
Herd Immunity? Check an article about this at www.vran.org (Vaccination Risk Awareness Network)
I learned in high school to judge statistics carefully. Let's keep commonsense in mind, too. My husband spent weeks sleeping in the same bed as my boys and I and never caught pertussis. Why did I get it, but he didn't? I don't know, but I was vaccinated as a child, while he actually had whooping cough 50 years ago. Wow! Natural immunity rocks!
These manipulative school forms are dishonorable. They force narrow, biased opinions under parents' legal signatures. It would work better if you listened respectfully.

PASCAGOULA, Mississippi -- Political newcomer Jeramey Anderson, a 21-year-old college student, and former Moss Point mayor Aneice Liddell advanced to a Nov. 26 runoff election for the Mississippi House District 110 seat after none of the five candidates earned a majority in Tuesday's special election.
According to unofficial totals, Anderson received 902 votes and Liddell received 634.
Former state representative Mitch Ellerby had 408 votes, Tyres Autrey 183 and Anne McMillion 45 votes
The winner between Anderson and Liddell will replace Billy Broomfield, who held the seat for 21 years before defeating Liddell for the Moss Point mayor's job earlier this year.
If Anderson wins, he will be the youngest to be elected to the Mississippi Legislature since Dirk Dedeaux won House District 93 in 1995 at age 23.
Anderson is a senior at Tulane University and the founder of a non-profit mentoring organization Purple Knights of America in Moss Point.
"We have a message for all voters but we have appealed to the younger demographic," said Anderson, who had an active social media campaign on youtube and Facebook and TV commercials on Bravo, BET, MTV and VH1.
"We look forward to continue to get our message out to all of the voters."
Liddell, who had been a businesswoman and also a Moss Point alderman before becoming Moss Point's first female mayor, has said she spent several months contemplating her next move after losing her mayor's post.
She decided she would like to remain in politics, so she decided to run for the representative seat "to be there for the people."

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) on Monday called on members of the House and Senate to vote down any border supplemental bill that doesn't include language blocking President Barack Obama from extending an amnesty and work permit program for millions of illegal immigrants.
"I'm calling on all members of Congress today to stand up to these lawless actions and sponsor legislate that will block them," Sessions said on the Senate floor Monday. "I'm calling on all members of Congress today to oppose any border supplemental that does not include such language."
Sessions has issued warnings to Congress almost every day about the need to block what some reports say is Obama's pending plan for amnesty. Still, the House was working on a border bill early this week that is not expected to include language dealing with Obama's possible plan.
Sessions said current law prohibits people from hiring anyone who is in the country illegally, and said if reports are right, Obama is planning to override that law through executive action.
"Current law is plain — those who enter this great nation by unlawful means or overstay their visa are subject to removal and are ineligible to work," he said. "The president's actions are astonishing, and are taking our nation into exceedingly dangerous waters."
"Such calculated action strains the constitutional structure of our republic," he said. "Such unlawful and unconstitutional action, if taken, cannot stand."
Sessions called on Obama to pull back from his plan that would not only violate the law, but would be opposed by most Americans.
"Mr. President, such actions would be wrong," he said. "It would be an affront to the people of this country which they will never forget. It would be a permanent stain on your presidency. I urge you to make clear that you will not do this."
He also said Obama should not be trying to intimidate Congress by threatening executive action.
"That is wrong, sir," he said. "You cannot intimidate Congress or the American people who sent them here, for that matter.
"Simply put, that which you desire is beyond your lawful reach."

A spokesman said this week that the FCC anticipates it could be four weeks or so before any grants are issued to first-day applicants. The FCC said the number of personnel available to enter application information and call sign lists is limited, and that keying in up to 25 call signs and then verifying that they were keyed correctly is not a very fast process. The FCC will not start making any grants for first-day filers until all day-one applications have been entered into the FCC's computer. Then applications will be processed randomly from among those in the first-day pool. The number of hams taking advantage of Gate 2 has been less than anticipated. As of September 25, the FCC had received 5297 Gate 2 applications. First-day vanity filers totaled 4527, a number that even surprised the FCC, which had been expecting a larger flood of Gate 2 filings. The FCC said 4188 paper applications and 339 electronic applications were received the first day. Another 770 applications, mostly paper, had showed up by Wednesday, September 25. Slightly more than 7 percent of applicants used the FCC's newly inaugurated electronic filing system. Among the major headaches for the folks in Gettysburg are applications that contain illegible information. FCC personnel have been instructed to skip over requested call signs they cannot decipher. Also, some electronic filers have been sending their payments to the wrong Post Office Box in Pittsburgh and using the FCC Form 159 designed for use by those filing on paper. The FCC said that contrary to instructions on the electronic application form, electronic filers should not forward a copy of their Amateur Radio license to the FCC by mail. FCC personnel have no way to match up licenses with applications, and they don't need the license copy to process the application. The FCC said that some applicants apparently have had second thoughts about changing their call signs and have contacted the FCC to pull their Gate 2 paperwork. The FCC says that cannot be done. Those issued a vanity call sign who decide they like their old call sign better will have to pay another 30 dollars and reapply under Gate 1. If the FCC is unable to grant any of your vanity call sign requests, your application will be dismissed, and the FCC will notify you to that effect. But the Commission will not return your 30 dollar application fee until you request a refund in writing. Unlucky vanity applicants will be informed that ''credit cannot be provided toward future filings,'' and that FCC procedures authorize a refund ''only when requested in writing.'' To take another chance under Gate 2 means completing another Form 610V and sending in another 30 dollar fee. The FCC has not announced a schedule to open Gates 3 and 4.

These are high-impact, fiberglass 25mm ammo cases, built like the proverbial $600 government toilet seat. Inside dimensions are 12 inches x 11 inches x 4 3/4 inches. 11 1/2 pounds each. Big enough for a large variable cap and roller inductor (AND a stepper-motor drive!), or perhaps a dozen or more UHF or N jacks and their remotely-operated relays. They open on each end and the lids are fully gasketed and cinch down tight with a stout cam and bail mechanism. These things look like the very pricy Pelikan (tm) cases, on steroids. Plenty of reinforcing ribs, but also enough flat surfaces for mounting things or cutting holes. About the only thing they won't be good for is RF shielding -- but this supplier has a variety of waterproof steel ammo cans for those that need metal shielding. Nice yellow stencilling on each side that says 20 cartridges, 25mm ammo (may work better than an anti-climb section on your tower!). Call: The Sportsman's Guide at 1-800-888-3006 and ask for their latest sale catalog. The 25mm ammo cases are item J6-11260 for the four pack, or item J6-6534 for one at $9.97 each Lots of other interesting surplus military and hunting-oriented stuff (and some real junk, too).

I had several Obagi Blue Peels done over the past five years. The results have been better than lasering I had done. It does hurt during and after the treatment.It is not for a person that can not stand pain. It did take about two weeks to heal. The results depend on the strength used and the... READ MORE

Maurice F. S. "Maury" Penn, of Wyoming, beloved husband of Rosemary Commeret Penn, died early in the morning of December 31, 2011. Maury would have celebrated his 94th birthday in February.
Father to five children, grandfather to 18, great-grandfather to 12, he is also survived by wife Rosemary. He was predeceased by his parents, Emma and Charles Penn of Baltimore, MD, and his sister Mildred Miller, and three brothers, Herbert, William Melvin, and Charles Penn.
Maury graduated high school at the age of 15. Maury graduated from Baltimore City College in 1935 as a captain of his fencing team, and received an LL.B. (Bachelor of Laws) degree from The University of Baltimore at 20 yrs old -- too young to take the bar exam.
Maury attended the Peabody Conservatory studying and singing opera and was the highest paid church soloist in Baltimore. He wrote scripts for and sang on radio shows, served in the U.S. Army, and went to New York City at the beginning of the Golden Age of Television. He worked at NBC as Stage Manager, just off-camera, running the stop watch and giving the cues to famous personalities for live TV shows such as Milton Berle, Your Show of Shows with Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca, Howdy Doody, The Big Story, Justice, Treasury Men in Action.
He produced 40 live commercials per week for The Home Show with Arlene Francis and Hugh Downs, and was assistant director for the Robert Montgomery show and a variety of live TV specials throughout the 1950s.
He was hired by the Army to produce a closed-circuit TV training program at the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. Maury returned to NYC and TV commercial advertising with ad agencies Young & Rubicam and N.W. Ayer, eventually becoming an Executive Vice President.
He worked with many celebrities and top commercial directors, and handled accounts such as Diet 7-Up, DeBeers Diamonds, AT&T, DuPont, Spic 'N Span, Cheer, Sealtest, and Breyers Ice Cream, until retiring to his country property in 1975. However, he found that he was not ready to sit on a porch and watch the grass grow, and returned to NYC and N.W. Ayer for another nine years before retiring for good.
Turning to his other talents, Maury joined the cast of a play in Elmira, NY, Mark Twain: The Musical, where he acted, sang, danced and went through 12 costume changes each performance, all at the age of 75! He was an active member in the Tioga Center Baptist Church and their school, coaching winning students in dramatic recitation competitions, and then serving a year as principal there.
In recent years, Maury was an active, faithful member of the church family at Harvest Orthodox Presbyterian Church in Wyoming, MI where, at age 88, he married Rosemary Commeret in 2006. He and Rosemary met more than 50 years ago at Grace Orthodox Presbyterian Church in Fair Lawn, NJ, where he attended with his family, and where she was the wife of the pastor who was serving at that time. The two families enjoyed friendship and fellowship there, including singing in the choir together.
He was predeceased by wife, and mother of his children, Charity S. Penn, who died in 1992 in Barton, NY after a battle with cancer. They met while they were both vocal students at The Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore. They walked with the Lord together in marriage for 52 years.
Maury was subsequently married to Ruth Louise Penn, of Lancaster, CA for five years, up until her death in 2005. He and Ruthie found time for concerts and plays, sightseeing and travel, visiting a good portion of California while he lived there. He also acted in one more play, Everything I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, this time with a community theater group in Palmdale, CA.
His simple philosophy of life was quoted in an interview, "Always treat others the way you would like to be treated." He has truly touched the lives of many, many people who will never forget him, and who feel their lives are richer for having known him. There is one phrase for which Maury Penn will be much remembered-- "Never Assume." It's Maury's hallmark -- a mark of excellence.

12-13th October, 2016: Visit in Halle
Professor Paulik visited the Fraunhofer Pilot-Plant-Center for Polymer Synthesis and Processing - short PAZ - under the lead of Prof. Bartke in Schkopau, Germany. He and two of his PhD-students got a guided tour through the adaptable, upscaling facility and the adjacent polymer processing unit. On the following day the two research groups introduced themselves to the different research topics and fields of activity. Afterwards Prof. Bartke and his team gave a tour through their laboratories at the Martin-Luther University, Halle-Wittenberg. Summarizing it was a very nice opportunity for exchange of experiences and knowledge in the field of labscale polymerisation reaction engineering. We are looking forward to the visit of our colleagues from Halle - see you in Linz.

7th of July, 2016: Teambuilding @ CTO
Today we had the instituts excursion to Mitterstoder in the Salzkammergut where we tried ourselves in paragliding and evading the imminent sunburn. The weather was fine but the winds were not well-diposed and a bit too turbulent for us to grow wings. After a nice lunch together we decided to skip the next flying attempts and traveled to the Gleinkersee. There we enjoyed the cool water before we let the day fade out, back in Linz, at an outdoor restaurant.
Thanks a lot to Andreas, who organized the nice trip, Karl our driver and Professor Paulik for sponsoring this event every year.
24th of June, 2016: Poster Award

iPad can change gaming - PopCap
The iPad might not be huge in gaming terms initially, but puzzle specialists PopCap reckon it could eventually make for huge industry changes.
PopCap exec John Vechey says the iPad could address "a need consumers don't even know they have yet."
"I think it will change gaming. Here's this new device that gets to more people with a really great e-commerce model attached to it. It's really easy to buy on the iPhone - that's part of what makes it successful," Vechey says on Apple's existing success.
"The iPad would be perfect for real-time strategy. You can't have this really immersive gaming experience but it may actually be more fun than a lot of different game experiences you can get with a PC or console."
PopCap are responsible for big series' like the 50 million selling Bejeweled.

Radiohead to Tour in 2012
Yesterday we blogged that Radiohead had scheduled two New York City shows to accompany their performances on Saturday Night Live and The Colbert Report. Well, last night Radiohead frontman, Thom Yorke, made an appearance on BBC Radio 1 and talked about plans to tour in 2012.
We can only hope that this will be another world tour, similar to their 2008 tour that started in May and lasted all summer long.
Consequence of Sound summarizes Yorke's comments about a 2012 tour as: "The idea is to go out and play next year on and off during the year," Yorke explained, adding that the band got a "massive buzz" from their surprise set at the Glastonbury Music Festival. "It feels like a good idea now that we figured out how to play it to go and do it in front of people for a bit."
Sign up for Radiohead Gig Alerts to be the first to find out when they officially announce tour dates.
