[andyb]

It really is odd that we don't bat either Altherr or Williams 3rd (or 2nd) with Hoskins out. And odd that Crawford is at 3B and Kingery is at SS. This seems more "teacher's pet" decisions than analytics.

[Lawman]

I'd have gone Franco at 3B and Crawford at SS.

[Patchmk88]

Is something wrong with Franco? Pinch hit for last night and doesn’t get the start today.

Nick Pivetta grounds into a double play

The ol' "a bunt is a bad thing" in the analytics world bites us again.

Schwarber

Ball (94.6 mph four-seam fastball)
Called strike (94.4 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (79.9 mph curveball)
Swinging strike (94.7 mph four-seam fastball)

Kyle Schwarber strikes out swinging.

[Lawman]

Radio announcers said that he set up to bunt and made the decision to pull back and hit. May not have been a managerial decision.
