Guy pitching to Aybar: To throw a pitch that Aybar would have problems with, and to throw pitches that Aybar would have problems bunting in case of the suicide call (high pitches, no breaking balls as they are the easiest to bunt)
Shields: To get Jed Lowrie out any way possible
Now I don't know enough about Lowrie, but I know he didn't hit a cupcake pitch

The point is that the original poster makes a lot of assumptions after the fact and refuses to acknowledge that his assumptions are just that. It is really the equilivant of a baseball redboard.
