#Pirates Hurdle admits it was unorthodox to IBB Bruce in 10th inn last nite. "Someone told me, 'That's the winning run.' I'm like, yeah, I know.' That's the beauty of the game. I can't manage a game worried about being second-guessed. I have to first guess and know I'm not going to be right all the time. I'm good with that. So far, it's working out OK. I think these guys enjoy the fact that their manager doesn't play it by the book, that he'll play it by his gut."

Really?
