Pirates Mailbag: Did someone snitch on Starling Marte?
Starling Marte is hoisted into the air by his teammates after hitting a walk-off home run against the Braves in the 10th inning April 9 at PNC Park.Welcome back, baseball fans. The Chicago Cubs strolled into Pittsburgh Monday and trampled the Pirates. The snoozer brought about baseball history for the little country of Lithuania and myriad concerns from an already frustrated fanbase. If you have a question for next week’s mailbag, send it to snesbitt@post-gazette.com or to @stephenjnesbitt on Twitter.
Here we go.
Dick: How did the Pirates (and the league) find out that Marte was using the drug? Do they have random “pee-in-the-cup” urine sample test or was there a “snitch” in the house?
