I was just going to comment on that. Plus even though it was a bad throw, Gonzalez has to come off the bag and keep that ball from going into CF

Quite frankly, Gonzales has looked horrible in every aspect of the game in this series in Arizona
I beg to differ.
What part of his game are you enamored with in this Arizona series? He cost the Pirates the game yesterday by playing with his head in his ass. You will say that Bednar made a bad throw which I agree that he did. But if NG has hustled to 1B in the first place he would have had time to set his foot and make the play.Secondly he again brain farted by not covering first base when Santana dove to his right to glove a ground ball. Finally his at bats in this series make Suwinski look like a contact hitter. I like NG and thought he had a good series in LA. This series in Arizona, I’m just calling it as I see it, and I see that he needs to be more focused.

Nice for you to continue to be spoon fed by Pirates announcers...where do you get off saying "he didn't hustle"? It was all Bednar's fault, it was a horrific throw. The play with Santana? He was getting ready to field the ball. Bednar didn't cover, Santana just happened to dive in front of him.



Watch the whole field, and don't be driven by the announcers. If I wanted to hear Block announce the play incorrectly again, I'd listen to the replay, I don't need to read it verbatim on the game threads.

I’m learning that following the play-by-play on Gameday is not reliable. There was no reporting that the D’Backs scored in the first inning but I now see they did.

Alec Thomas with his second game-tying HR in two days.

I hope that Borucki will be gone after the break!
