Vasquez is dealing right now. 5 Ks is 2 IP (1 hit). I love this guy in fantasy ball (not so much in real baseball, however)

OK, someone please explain this play-by-play log in the 7th inning of a tie game (I'm not watching it, only following it online, so I don't have the benefit of announcers' perspectives):

Top 7th: Pittsburgh
- F. Sanchez safe at first on shortstop Y. Escobar's throwing error
- A. LaRoche flied out to deep center
- A. LaRoche sacrificed to pitcher, F. Sanchez to second
- D. Young struck out looking

WTF? Why would you have your #5 guy in the lineup -- who also happens to be one of your hottest hitters -- sacrifice a guy to second with ONE OUT??? This makes no sense to me. Anyone have any idea what was going through John Russell's mind?

The announcers were all over LaRoche after he bunted. He was credited with a sacrifice, but it looked like he was trying to bunt for a hit.

Man, what's up with that? Dude, swing the bat!

Thanks for the info...

Nice to see Soriano following in Bailey's and Capps' footsteps from last night...man, my ERA and WHIP for the week are trashed...of course, Lackey didn't help either
