April 15, 200917 yr It was more than likely a hit and run...But I agree that he needs to make a better effort than that to get the ball on the ground. Why in the world would you call a hit and run in that situation with one of the best at stealing bases in the MLB? I agree it might have been a hit and run but that's just a stupid call. Hopefully someone will ask Dusty in the pregame.

I am not the biggest Dusty fan, but I didn't mind the hit and run at all in that situation. 2-0 count and they knew he was getting a fastball and they thought it would be a strike. Tavares got both steals tonight on offspeed pitches. Not to say he couldn't have got the steal but a ball on the ground there by Hairston more than likely gives you 1st and 3rd no outs.
April 15, 200917 yr Why not let him steal then put a hit and run on. I don't really see why you don't give him a chance to get into scoring position.
April 15, 200917 yr Jay Bruce needs to get something figured out. He has exceptional talent, but he is simply not producing right now.
