It's quite enough to do the dirty work. One shouldn't have to talk about it.

Good, then, for Pirates starter Charlie Morton that a day after his memorable start in Cincinnati, he still didn't admit to intentionally plunking Shin-Soo Choo on his first pitch.

Morton, slated to start Sunday in Anaheim, played coy when the topic arose.

“I gotta work 'em inside,” he said.

This was a simple act of baseball justice, understood on both sides.............
