Hurdles Quotes<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n On pen guys going in both games \u2013 \u201c<\/strong>I would anticipate we would. We\u2019re looking around 15 \u2013 20 is a gray area, 20 we\u2019re done. If they throw 20, there\u2019s a probable chance that they won\u2019t be used again. One guy that we might bring back today that\u2019s thrown over 20 would be Vic who threw last night because he\u2019s a big, strong young man and he\u2019s done it before.\u201d<\/p>\n Hurdle also got some good information from former Pirate great, Kent Tekulve on how to treat relievers in-between games. \u201cWe did get some very interesting information from Tekulve the last time had one of these (double header). He encouraged us to not ice down our relievers in-between games because ice starts the healing process. You just have them pitch, keep them hot and keep them going.\u201d<\/p>\n Trade Deadline Update<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n There are a couple of rumors going around that Bud Norris could be a possibility to come to Pittsburgh in a deal that could be done today. Tyler Glasnow is the name going around that could go to Houston in the exchange as Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports has reported here:<\/p>\n Sources: Bud Norris very likely to be dealt today, and Pittsburgh could be landing spot. Package built around Tyler Glasnow makes sense.<\/p>\n
