Pirates manager John Russell may be likely to go, but pitching coach Ray Searage could stay, the Post-Gazette reports. Searage has presided over the improvement of much of the pitching staff since taking over for Joe Kerrigan this summer. Particularly encouraging has been the reemergence of Charlie Morton after a horrible first two months and a subsequent demotion to the minors. It’s too early to give Searage credit, but it’s probably also way too early to dismiss him.
