I think the goal is to get it to go as slow as possible... lol

Man on third can score on a wild pitch and infield hit, man on second is different. I can live without that one again.
I thought it was notable given the stat he gave right after showing that Burnett led the league wild pitches recently.

Fair point.

Homer over 100 pitches. He's lost out on wins lately in close games, I'm guessing Dusty runs him out there for one more inning.

It could have been a smart hunch on Speier's part or it could have been as simple as someone stole a sign

I think Ludwick has gotten out of his slump.

Boy, the Pirates just can't catch a break. Looked like they would finish over .500 easy. Now, not so much.

Re: 9/12/12 Pirates at Reds

A long out by Bruce moves Ludwick to 3rd.

I think they implied Speier has been picking up signs because they pointed out Houston had a few blown hit and runs here.
