Good thing Molina swung at that. Hunters delivery was so slow on that pitch the steal would have definitely been a success if Molina let it just sail past. Wouldn't have even been close.

Also, can someone explain what happened on the previous batter's (cannot remember his name) strike out? The ball hit his bat and went foul... What happened there?

If you bunt foul with two strikes, you're out.

Archer, the pitcher you mean. He was bunting with two strikes. Rule is if you foul a bunt with two strikes, you're out. And this ump is really starting to annoy me. He's giving the Rays borderline pitchers but not us. But hey redemption on the next pitch.

I honestly don't think we deserve this game. That's embarrassing. Totally and utterly craptacular. Wieters has come up small way too often at the plate and this in inexcusable from a supposed teamleader. 3-0? We lose this game he should donate his game check. He should be embarrassed.

I'm not thrilled about the at bat but he does lead the team in RBI. So if he's coming up small in important situations how do we define the rest of the teams performance?

I agree. It's not like it was a fat pitch. Wieters may have been looking for a fastball in a certain zone to get in the air, and he laid off on a two seamer that came back over the plate.

It definitely looked that way to me, the way he kind of hopped back....I think it's pretty clear he was looking for something middle-outside.

Archer? He was trying to bunt. He bunted it foul with 2 strikes, that's an out. It's to prevent a batter from just bunting to wear out a pitcher.

      Are we actually 27-14 with the highest runs/game in the AL?

      Well, now that we’ve established the hitting sucks, is it a good time to complain that this pitching is obviously over performing and will crash and burn any day now?

      The bullpen has much more depth this year than last year but it just feels like you don’t know who will be the guy each night.  Last year it was get to the 8th and you knew it was Cano and Bautista and lights out.  This year it doesn’t seem to be set roles especially with Kimberly strugggles and out as clasper for now possibly.  I also think Hyde gets a lot of grief about how he handles the bullpen but I think he has been great at looking at the game situation and with who he wants facing what guys.  Cano might come in the 6th one night then close the next, same with Webb or even Coulumbe.  I know a lot of it is analytics but as a group they make a plan and seem to stick with it instead of some managers that have 7 inning guy an 8th inning guy and closer and don’t deviate much.

      On the replay you can see that Julio was lightly jogging after the ball-- either assuming the RF would get it, or assuming Hays wouldn't run. Good on Hays for taking advantage and turning it into a double.

      I think in general people are more negative in life not just in sports and they need to blame someone or something.  In previous years we had a scapegoat in Peter and John.  Elias didn’t go out and make a trade it was because he didn’t have the money to go get anyone or the owner didn’t want to spend.  Now for the most part people seem to think new ownership will give the ok to spend more so now if we don’t do it it is on Elias, Sig, and Hyde for not getting best out of the players.  We dint make a big trade last year and most people just went with well John is cheap we don’t do what they want now it will fall on Elias more then last year in peoples eyes imo.

      The Yankees have been extremely healthy on offense as well.  If that somehow happens all year they will be right there with us but if I was a betting man I don’t think Judge, Stanton, Rizzo can stay healthy all year and they have very little depth behind those guys.  Besides Adley we have guys at every other position that can fill in if someone goes down.  There might be a drop some but I don’t think it would be catastrophic like losing Judge or Soto.
