I don’t know that I know a manager in Major League baseball that plays the infield in, ah, in the second inning with runners at second and third. You usually have the infield back - and this allowed a two-rbi single. Because, if [Sanchez is] back, he’s able to make this play and at least knock the ball down at second base. But, that’s a strange play…
Would Jim Tracy have done that? Or Lloyd McClendon? Or any National League manager in the last, oh let’s say, five decades?
In the same post, Ray Knight is heard quoting a ‘coach’ saying the Pirates are worst defensive team seen in thirteen years.
Poor Dan Fox.

Still, I'll take it!
(Dunno about the quality of the Pirates defense, but I sure did like all those balls rolling past Gomez last night)
I think I recall Buddy Bell doing that once or twice, and his record speaks for itself.
I see it a lot in the minors, and I don't understand it either.

Worst case scenario with the infield back is 1 run in and the top of the order leading off next inning.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers...?
Florida has the 'talent' to be terrible at D this season.
