Brad Thompson hates babies.

Should they have walked him?
I would veto the walk to Speez. You put the leading run on base
You put the leading run on base with Wilson, Bennett, Miles and a PH due up. That's about as bad a group of hitters as you'll find in the majors.
Yeah, it's not cut and dried. I'm generally against IBB, they hurt more than help in the long run. But you could definitely make a case for it there.

Well, invoking Garner is unfair then!

That was an absolutely putrid pitch from Thompson.

You gotta swing there. The Cards had a wheel play on where we didn't even bluff the guy back to 2nd. Eck was almost on 3rd.

Swing the bat.

I have a bad feeling here.

The Pirates announcers are pretty upset about that bunt. They're not afraid to criticize the Pirates, which I suppose is appropriate.

Where's Izzy?

That was a VERY favorable strike call. I think the ump wants this game to be over.

Sipping coffee in the bullpen I'm sure.

Then wouldn't he call it a ball? It is the bottom of the inning.
