I bet they trade him this offseason

Dang, Nico just misses #10 . Yan has missed #10 like 5 times lately.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

No reason to pitch to Cody with Dansby on deck.

[Derwood]

Walking Cody to get to Dansby seems like a 100% winning strategy

[WhyCantWeWin]

Ross is a great manager :))

[abuck1220]

hmm wonder if they might have pitched bellinger different if the hottest hitter in the NL was batting after him instead of a complete dud. 

[abuck1220]

batting order doesn’t matter though and swanson had like a 6-15 run a week ago 

[UMFan83]

Would have been been nice to have a guy with a 1.100 OPS since the start of August up there

Why have him hit with 2 on and 2 out when you can have him lead off?

[UMFan83]

Boring offense is boring

[abuck1220]

you just got $177 mil bro, why you need to throw games? 

[Dfan25]

Swanson continues his stellar play 

[UMFan83]

2-0 Pirates, good stuff

[Irrelevant Dude]

Not watching the game at the moment, but I see the Fielders Choice error in the app, so I assume Dansby did something dumb again.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Time to sit Dansby. You’ve got to do something.

He is just cashing checks at this point 

[chibears55]

You all are funny with the lineups..

They can bat Suzuki 4th or 5th and all that gonna do is have 5 or 6 through 9 be a coin toss of hitters. 

The weak/slumping bat will find it way to the plate no matter what, you kinda gotta break up the better hitters when 2/3 of them aren't exactly doing much.

Hoerner, Bellinger,  and Suzuki can't bat 2-4 and then have a bunch of coin tossed/ slumping bats to follow

not only was it an error, it was a routine double play so he’s figured out how to really maximize his screw ups.

Seems like he wants to get the offseason started early to spend some time with his wife who is recovering from surgery.

I feel like this is his way of boycotting Ross’s lineups. Sucking super hard.

lol no

[UMFan83]

Let’s see how many strikes Bellinger gets here in yet another big spot after the wild pitch leaves a base open

Shocker they pitched around Bellinger. 
 

make us all look stupid Dansby 

[Derwood]

Bellinger hasn't seen a strike in two at-bats. Might as well leave his bat in the dugout
