Morning Report: Sunday Notes on Liriano, Borden, the FIL and the Wild Card

Some random Sunday notes on a day the Pirates can officially eliminate the Brewers from the playoffs. We start with the Fall Instructional League beginning on Friday, as players first reported to Pirate City, some for the first time in Bradenton. In the Dominican Summer League recap, we listed all the players who were invited to the FIL. I was told that only one player had visa issues from the new players, which is a pretty good success rate. They took the field for the first time on Saturday for workouts. The games will start up in a little over a week.
