vs. INDIANS, 5/22

[TouchemAll]

OHH brother Flash hits a HR then forget everything else about the game.

[Chavez Ravine]

Double, hit by pitch, homerun, strikeout trying to bunt. Which of these is not like the other?

[PaulFolk]

Why on earth would you ever ask someone to bunt with 2 strikes, unless he's a pitcher? What in the world was Buck thinking there?

[O's84]

Really stupid, Buck.

I have a lot of respect for Buck but I agree, this was really dumb.

Just want the win, this would be a real tough loss.

I don't know--can't get too worked up about absurdity.

Maybe Ryan did it on his own.

I really want that asked in the post game, especially after Flaherty's 2 horrible initial attempts.

Craziest game of the year by far.

Caesar's first words incoming!

Not a chance.

Probably figured the possibility of moving the runner was worth risking the strikeout that seemed inevitable against a nasty lefty.

Et tu Buck-e?

I think Buck cdn't imagine that Flaherty could blow three bunt attempts in a row. Sort of felt like a Perlozzo or Trembley moment.

[eddie83]

That is why I didn't want the bunt at all. Can't expect Pearce to keep coming through vs RHP.
