Kovacevic: Younger Pirates, following Cutch's lead, find a little April fire

Invectives were flying.

Heck, someone's iPhone went flying. Hard, too. Banging into the back of a stall.

A trio of younger players were gathered around that stall in the home clubhouse at PNC Park late Tuesday night, this after what had to be these Pirates' most uplifting outcome all month, a 9-4 pounding of the Padres, and ... let's just say that something had set them off. And that it might've had something to do with this scene:

Pitch No. 2 of that sequence between Ji Hwan Bae and San Diego lefty Adrian Morejon was called a strike by home plate umpire Jeremie Rehak.
