Jordy Mercer was a guest in the booth with Block and Wehner for 3 innings. I'm guessing this was an audition. The 3 of them are wearing matching grey pullovers but there is the Pirates "P" on Block and Wehner's. This makes it look like Mercer didn't just drop in but is almost part of the broadcast team. I always liked Mercer when he played. Especially when he dissed Robbie in one of those asinine post-game interviews.

Since returning from the IL Hayes has been a much better hitter. I wonder if the time on the IL helped heal his back issues.
