Do you think the Orioles developed Bundy?

I suppose that is debatable. He seems to have willed his way here through a lot of adversity and lack of options.

[Norfolk orioles]

He may have been off the bag.

Davis hasn't seen a strike yet.

That high inside one for strike three didn't seem like one either

Davis broke the bat he's been crushing with. This one has holes in it.

It wasn't. I imagine he gets frustrated. Seems to happen to him a lot.

NYY beating up on KC again, 6-0 in the 4th. RS down 4-0 to STL, also in the 4th. BJs down 6-3 to the Braves in the 5th.

Whatever happened to trying to foul off close pitches?  Obviously taking close pitches with two strikes isn't working so well.

I feel like Chris has an inherent disadvantage a lot of times because he is so big.  His strike zone seems gigantic compared to a lot of others.  He does watch a good deal of legitimate strikes but he gets so many high mid, high outside, and low outside strike calls that are rarely called for other batters it seems.

Manny with the strong defensive effort.

The catcher caught Davis's strike three around his eyes.

Thanks MASN for showing us that Bleier was warming. Lol.

Judge is significantly larger than Davis.  Do you think he has this problem?  Do you think Frank Thomas had this problem?

So I guess Bleier will be sent down tomorrow.
