For those who watch after the fact...don't miss the top of the 3rd inning...you'll never see it again...

It was almost like he was picking on the poor Pirates, like they were a little league team.

As JD said, what was the 1B thinking?  All he had to do was go touch the first base bag and the inning was over.

Or simply tag Javy at any time, or simply throw the ball to someone at 1B...

that was all two outs, right?  So Contreras scoring before the out was made was not an issue, right?  Even after Contreras scored, a good throw to 1B would have still taken care of things?

Maybe the MLB highlights will replay the Pittsburgh announcers and how they called the play.  That ought to be fun.

Right.  Would the force at first nullified the run if catcher had made good throw?

1B must have thought only one out — gonna tag Baez and keep Contreras at third.

One of the amazing things is that FOUR Pirates messed up on the play.

1. 3B starts the festivities with a poor throw. 2. 1B obviously for being a knucklehead. 3. Catcher for bothering with runner at home, failing to just tag Javy instead, and failing to make a better throw back to 1B. 4. 2B for being late to cover 1B after the play at the plate. Maybe add the pitcher as messing up for failing to punch out the rest of his infield at some point.

I wonder how many Pirate fans realize they are being swept by the Iowa Cubs.
