Backtracking

Ian Snell wants you to know that when he specifically pointed out things that Eric Kratz did that he liked on Sunday and made veiled references that those things weren't done so well in Pittsburgh, he didn't actually mean any insult to the Pirates' catchers. Because he's never, ever made it seem like he thought a catcher was to blame for one of his bad outings. Snell's agent would also like you to know that he thinks Neal Huntington is a swell guy doing the best he can out there. If this were a crappy reality show about ruining raising a family, we'd be barrelling towards a "Very Special Episode" in the near future.
