But he did flip his bat. How embarrassing. He’s hitting under .200 and he’s hot dogging it? Just drop the bat, put your head down, run fast around the bases, and have a seat.

Yeah, I'm really developing a strong dislike for him. A waste of 5 million and he's blocking Endy or Davis.

Does Hill go back out for the 6th? I'm guessing he does. I'm not watching tv, so not seeing if he got the proverbial "You're done for the night" hug

Nice 9-pitch at bat by Bae as he earns a walk. I feel a rally coming on.

Another thing that bugs me. Block talking about future Pirate teams being winners/contenders as if it's a foregone conclusion.

Keep in mind, guys like Contreras were a big part of that talk.

They are getting better, but let's not anoint championships in the future.

I almost had to laugh when Young was talking about what Hedges should do this AB.

I think "close his eyes and swing hard" would be just as relevant

Bae gets the steal this time, and it stands

Hedges gets Bae to third with a tapper in front to the catcher.

Hedges nicely moves Bae to 3rd with a ground ball (I’m being kind). That’s about the best we can expect.

Sac fly by Marcano. Love it, but you know, we're hitting sac flies and solo HR's, the other teams are putting up 3/4/5/6 run innings.
