    Anyone know if he can bunt?
    Mantle was 3.1 down the line. Nolan was 4.41 according to Palmer, and he is one of the fastest players to fiest today.

    Hopefully they didn't just screw up Arrieta's rhythm.

    A 3.1 30 is incredibly fast.

    Seems like the both teams and umpires are still distracted.

    Seeing Camden Yards full of Orioles fans is beautiful - fair-weather or not.

    Not that I disbelieve your fact finding but that sounds like a tall tale...

    Yeah, that's a 4.13 40-yard dash if you maintain that pace.

    EDIT: of course, it's not quite 30 yards. You're maybe a yard closer to 1B if you're in the LHB batter's box and you drag bunt (which I believe is how they timed Mantle).
