So far for Stolmy- walk, homer, base hit, walk, fairly deep fly ball out that should have been a double play but Rodriguez dropped the baseball.

Neither Pedro Alvarez, shagging grounders in the infield, nor Andrew McCutchen, catching fly balls in the outfield, bothered to turn his head as Kang bombed. For whatever it's worth, some of the longer-tenured Pirates — including McCutchen — showed much more excitement for Gregory Polanco's big swings during the same batting session.

Tim Williams ‏@timwilliamsP2 7m7 minutes ago
Just had our first TOOTBLAN of the season. Josh Harrison double up at second going way off the bag on a fly ball that was caught in the gap.
Sigh.
