Why do the Pirates lose?

Brian O'Neill thinks it has something to do with being outslugged and outwalked.

Also some interest in Mackanin's bunts. McClendon had a reputation for bunting a lot which he didn't deserve. I think it was that his pitchers were good bunters and bunted a lot. E.g., Kris "Super-bunter" Benson (insert "laying one down" joke here) had 15 in 2004.

But forget about laying down bunts. Talking to fans, it sounds like the new dipshit thing the Pirates do is not field them correctly.
