Former reliever Capps knows nothing about base running and the less he say about it, the better.
He keeps praising Cruz for that 2-run triple with no outs in the 5th. Capps acknowledged the adage that you never make the first out at 3B but said it would have been ok in this case because 2 runs were scoring. But those 2 runs were scoring regardless and the replay showed Cruz not running hard to 1B. Cruz seemed to make it to 3B easily but it would not have been ok if he had been out. Had he been out, it would have been fair to criticize him for not hustling initially and for not settling for a 2-run double rather than making the 1st out at 3B. It actually seemed like an easy triple but Capps' analysis was 100% wrong.

Castro singles into a double play. Only the Pirates.

Another amateurish mistake by the grossly competent 3B coach Rabelo. Another brain freeze by Castro. Someone needs to teach Castro how to play baseball. He's got physical talent but consistently shows no aptitude for the game.

Looking at the replay you can blame both outs on the Third Base Coach. First he waves Reynolds around third and then gives him the stop sign when he is half way home and in no man’s land. Then he inexplicably waves Castro to third when he has no chance in hell to make it.

Please don’t tell me we have another Marte or Polanco?

The world order has spun out of control. Albert Pujols makes two straight outs in PNC Park with guys on base.

How is it that the Pirates hire the worst third base coaches?

Maybe Shelton needs to spend more time teaching his coaches than the players. Rabelo makes Cora look good.
