I love Buck. Love him. But, assuming the bunt was called from the dugout (which I think is a good assumption), it was one of the more stunningly poor managerial decisions I've ever seen Buck make. Their pitcher had walked 3 of the 5 batters he faced. Why on planet Earth are we giving him an out? Was furious at the game last night.

The whole crowd was stunned when the bunt occurred, especially after the two walks. The O's are what, 1 for their last 35 with RISP and 7 for their last 80? They need as many chances with RISP, not the opposite giving away a out especially down 2.

I feel your frustration, was at the Yankees O's Sunday day game (O's going for the sweep) that was poorly managed as well.

Yeah, giving me pitcher a chance to walk the bases-loaded nobody out would've been a much better idea than giving away an out to a struggling pitcher.

      1:2 is good.  Elite is a player like Arraez who is 1+:1.

      Was reading Wiggins write up on ESPN. He appears to be more of a home run threat than Koolaid. He had a pick 6 each of the last 2 years.

      Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.

      Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?

      Who is "selling" this year?

      I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.

      This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
