vs. Phillies June 18

[ArtVanDelay]

Jays off today, playing now, or in the evening? Ditto Yankees, Rays, and Sox.

All 4 of them play this evening.

Surprised by the strikeouts so far, I'm flabbergasted. Maybe we'll get to him the second time through.

I continue to be amazed at major league players(especially pitchers when asked) and their inability to safely bunt a baseball.

I think this is one thing that gets overblown by us fans.

I think it's safe to guess that most of us played little league growing up.

In my experience in Little League, putting down a bunt was treated similarly to making your FT's in basketball... It's supposed to be easy, and it WAS easy. A fastball coming at you flat with very little break at 50 mph.

This skill, however, rarely translates to professional baseball. I think fans seriously underestimate how difficult it is to bunt a ball coming at you with that combination of velocity and break.. no matter how much you practice it.

I really hope those loser fans in KC don't cost him a chance at the All-Star Game.

I don't think it is just KC.

I think the bat toss and some of the other stuff have soured the national fanbase on Machado, at least for right now.

[El Gordo]

LH hitters continue to find this guy a mystery.

Moustakas is batting .323.

Man Bud.

[Can_of_corn]

Moustakas is batting .323.

Right. But last I looked Manny was 5th in the voting.

When I look at the national sites when Manny is in the news there is still a lot of negative comments about his behavior.

[Palmoripken]

All evening. CC pitching for the Yankees,

Thanks.

[Can_of_corn]

Bud is terrible today. A good team would be killing him.

Kinda like his quality start against the Mets?

Manny still might get in but Donaldson and Moustakas are going to make it.

Yeah, unfortunate. He's calmed down a bit. I haven't seen him argue with umps as much this year. He did get ejected a few weeks back, though.

[Going Underground]

He even looks terrible on gamecast.

[clapdiddy]

He even looks terrible on gamecast.

And...as I said earlier...on the Pitch by Pitch text on the ESPN box score!
