    He was out already, but if you're going to bunt, just put a pitcher in. I think Newk isn't bad at it either, although he's not great at hitting.
    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.

    So glad we were able to get to Oswalt and tie it. He's had such a great career.

    Yeah, but he still should’ve just sent a pitcher up there to save a player. I’d be more upset if it wasn’t Flaherty.

    Venters already came in the game so no more Julio.

    Im not sure that was bad managing. I think Duvall might have gotten pulled back because Dansby reached and they wanted Flaherty to bunt.

    Albies is young and full of talent, and I think he will be a really good player for years to come. But he’s really
    pissing me off. Dude is wasting so many opportunities

    I think it was bad managing by Snit, not bad managing by Collins.

    Is Callaway’s firstname Collins? That’s pretty dope; Mickey is a lame nickname, though, unless you’re a rat.

    Yeah, 7th inning is perfect timing for one of the reasons you bring in a guy like Duvall for your team. Only time I'd agree with bunting is 2 on, no one out, and even then, it probably makes no difference to just swing the bat.

    Bunting there is just throwing an out away.
    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.
