I don't get the love for Hughes this year.
As I am typing. Boom. HR. 5-3.

Tired of Clint using Hughes in key situations and him coming in and letting disaster strike. He comes in and boom 3 run homer and then 4 pitch walk. Just can't allow that to happen.

I do see his defensive struggles. He is like Alvarez, so he better hit. If he hits, no one will care.
No. He's not.
Why isn't he? Don't forget that this is Bell's second year at 1B too.
I'm not worried about his defense, just pointing it out. He doesn't look very smooth over there.
1-0 Pirates.
Bell is a gold glover next to Alvarez.

If we blow this game; then I'm throwing in the towel for 2016.

I know people don't like Alvarez, but you are really stretching here. Alvarez was bad. No doubt. I have only seen a little of Bell and so far he doesn't look good on defense. He has already made two errors in six starts. His minor league numbers (two years) wasn't much better than Alvarez's major league numbers either.
Bell's defense is a weakness. I don't care as I want his bat to produce, but reminds me of Alvarez so far.

Marlins come back and beat the Padres 7-6 in the 9th inning. The Marlins were once down 6-1 in this game and come back and win. So not a good night for making up any ground for the Pirates as both the Cards and Fish both win ugh.

Raise it. Bucs win again in Milwaukee stay 2.5 back of the Cards.

Huge difference. And it has nothing to do with whether or not people liked Alvarez. Bell looks unfamiliar with the position, not sure what to do in some plays. Alvarez was simply unable to hold onto balls hit or thrown to him. Bell just needs to learn the position. Alvarez couldn't catch. You can't just explain away Alvarez's historically bad play at 1B by saying people only complained because "they didn't like him." Get real!
