He’s getting lucky. He relies on spotting the ball where he wants, and he didn’t do that twice and had two near homers.

Would rather him have run, and Mesoraco hit.

I have no idea how he golfed that pitcher’s pitch out. I don’t like him at all, but he is a darn good hitter.

And you use the only other guy who hits from the right side (well, bats from the right side–hits is a little too generous) to bunt him over for a slap hitter. Now we are excruciatingly left-handed and the Pirates still have Watson. And why is it ok to pinch run the back up catcher but NEVER to burn him as a pinch hitter? I’m confused
