I didn't get to watch it live, just saw it on my phone. Did the broadcast play the entire triple? Or did it cut to a commercial while Yadi was chugging around those bases?

I think it is wierd they supposedly called piscotty up to play first but didnt play him there this series. I know the dh plays a roll but id think mo would be anxious to get a look at piscotty at first so he can judge deadline needs.

They're looking at Piscotty's bat.  His ability to play first is of secondary importance, and not as important as keeping Holliday healthy.  Holliday's ability to run still looks compromised, but they need his bat in the lineup.

I get that.  I wouldn't have started holliday in left if I started piscotty at first.  They have to baby holliday along but just as much they need a solution at first.
