Pirates catching prospect Sanchez injured in offseason scuffle

Tony Sanchez, the Pirates’ top catcher prospect, again got into hot water with the team when he sustained a broken jaw in a bar brawl earlier this offseason.

Sources told the Tribune-Review the fight happened about three months ago while Sanchez, 23, was participating in the Florida Instructional League. No police charges were filed.

Sanchez did not return a phone call and text messages from the Tribune-Review. As a policy, Pirates management does not comment even in general terms about player misconduct and discipline.

Glass jaw. Shame it isn't shatter proof.

You don't break your jaw in a scuffle. You might get a scratch in a scuffle, or trip and turn your ankle in a scuffle, but you don't break your jaw in a scuffle.

Brawl? Melee? Fight?

We got a lotta words, man...

Brannigan? Set-to? Fracas? Donneybrook? Rumble? Tumult?

Trying to talk with the guy with the broken jaw is pretty cruel.

Rumpus means sex, right?
