Any Pittsburgh Fans Know why...

[Kingsac]

Do any of you Pittsburgh fans know why Tike isn't running at all? I am so far happy with him as his avg has been good but I really grabbed him for his wheels! Does anyone know why? Injury?

I do believe he is fine, he has been running like hell in the outfields making catches and all, his speed is there...i dont know why they arent letting him steal...

I can't understand why Mac isn't letting these guys go either. The Pirates have done nothing but hit singles this year. They are leaving the bases loaded or RISP in almost every inning. They are about 5th in hitting, but 14th in run scoring...

If these guys like Redman, J. Wilson, Kendall, Mondesi, or Hill were allowed to run a little more, the singles that the Pirates are hitting may turn into run-scoring singles. I know another young team that ran like hell last year, and then ended up doing pretty good for themselves - a World Series Champion.
