Notes: Joel Hanrahan returns to Pirates as coach

A few notes for Wednesday:

  • The Pirates have announced that former reliever Joel Hanrahan has rejoined the Bucs organization as assistant pitching coach for the West Virginia Black Bears. Hanrahan, of course, had success as the Pirates’ closer in 2011 and 2012 before his career was undone by injuries. It’s nice to see he and the Pirates have found a way to keep him in the game. It will be strange but cool to see him in Morgantown.
  • Jung Ho Kang had his court date today and admitted to driving under the influence.
