    A Feliz error then a couple of questionable calls by the home plate ump and now Wandy's in a jam.

    I remember wanting to see a highlight reel of Bourn's best plays of the season last year.

    He already has several plays that could go on this season's reel.

    Great composure there by Wandy to limit the damage.

    Looks like Bourn is taking the next step to stardom. Dude has become the ideal leadoff guy and is a highlight reel in center, very exciting.

    I'd like to see Mikey get his OBP up around .370 at the end of this season. He still has some holes in his swing but made dramatic improvement as a hitter last season.

    There is no doubt about his play in CF.

    What happened to the Pirates SP? Did Puma nail him in the head? I was taking a nap and woke up to Bourn's throw home.

    Questionable one from Dave Clarke. I know the pitcher spot is up but still.... couldda easily had bases loaded 1 out for Bourn if you hold him

    Both teams have sent runners home at questionable times.

    There was no reason for us to risk getting an out at home plate in that situation. We should've had bases loaded, 1 run scored and no outs.

    Who is our 3rd base coach this season? It's not still Dave Clark, is it?

    Pirates showing their true colors, they are talented just need the veteran leadership. They remind me of the Braves in 1990, gushing with talent but it wasn't till they got some key veterans that they exploded.

    LOL. Funny inning. Caught at home on a bad call to send him home...then that Wandy debacle.

    :) Gotta get Wandy some more runs here. :cool:

    Exactly. I think that any baseball person would tell you that you hold the runner at 3rd with no outs, regardless of who is due up.

    We probably score at least 1 more run in that inning if not for that horrible decision to send Sullivan.

    All of that traffic ended up netting us 1 run. Fail.

    Amidst all the coaching changes, they decide to keep Clark at 3rd base.

    Keep him in the organization if you like but keep him away from 3rd base.
