Bunting's for suspects.


I don't have a problem with it in some situations, that being one of them. Would like to have a runner on third with one out. Cutch's mentality changes in his AB.

I guess I don't have much of a problem with it. I just don't like it as much. Given the choice between "safety" and "more risk," I lean toward "driving the lane" over "jump shots." Not sure if that's a good analogy....

I get it. Makes sense.



At some point, Hayes needs to start hitting. I get that he's been unlucky. But still...

If it's bottom 9 go ahead bunt. Bottom of the 5th? Against a team AVERAGING over 6 runs a game?



No complaints about Ravelo holding the guy at third? From my vantage point it was an easy run.

We have to have the worst catchers in the league at preventing WPs. That's the fourth this week where either Delay or Hedges didn't move to block the ball and tried to ole it on the backhand. But yeah, Davis and Rodriquez aren't ready defensively something, something.

Cannot let them get another run in ninth.

[bucs607179]

Hold them Holderman.

[bucs607179]

Holderman lived up to his name and held.



BUC walkoff would be real sweet but I'd be happy with a run.

Ruh ro Scooby these Pirates are headed to good old under .500 very soon.
