    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.

    Clearly safe but that is no guarantee.

    MarkakVPis would look good leading-off.

    The best hitter actually hits 2nd in an analytics lineup.

    Holy crap. We've left two or three easy runs on third base.

    That’s two at bats that a bogus strike call changed the at bat. The other being Swanson’s.

    I find it a little depressing that a team, who had a long sell-out streak not too long ago, can only manage to draw about 20,000 for a matchup between the 1st and 2nd place teams.

    That was a truly awful sequence of pitches to Altherr.

    Two sets of strike zones for this jackass behind the plate.

    Wow. Two outs and just stopped attacking — back pitch after bad pitch.

    This is where getting even a run with a runner on third would have helped.

    Ball 3 was clearly just called a strike on Flowers. Ump is terrible
