    Swanson showed poor zone recognition swinging at pitch well out of 2 times. Flaherty just guessing about where the pitch is going and McCarthy's excuse for K'ing is he's a pitcher.

    What happened to the old Cox adage about trying a squeeze play after coach visit to mound and runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs??

    I think VV has thrown him 1 all game, that low and away borderline call K he had on his first at bat

    With the offense getting shut down last night and a pitcher with good stuff going tonight, probably not a good idea to give Flaherty a start. I realize backups need playing time to stay sharp but tonight is not the night to have him out there.

    Flaherty is 1 for his last 17. His pumpkin arrived awhile ago.

    Don't usually squeeze with the bases loaded.

    I'd like to think Flaherty might be sucking less if not for all the PT given Bautista in that miserable experiment.

    Flaherty has always been this bad though throughout his career

    Perhaps but it's hard to find much of a groove when you've only been in, what, five games in a month. Who knows he might still be as bad if he weren't so rusty.

    It's going to take time for Dansby to get his eye back it seems.

    Holy crap, I didn't realize Hoskins was in such a horrible slump.

    Lol that was off the plate.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Should've been a 4 pitch walk for Albies.

    I honestly thought he's been pretty good outside of a few missed calls.

    Markakis has been as good so far but I honestly would like to see Albies go after Freeman's AB unless Freeman gets on or gets an XBH.

    Phillies keep not challenging close plays. What are they thinking?
