Where is Vlad Jr. starting in Blue Jays org because he could probably play right now.

AA and I agree, but hey, he’ll be tormenting the O’s soon enough, no need to rush it.

PSA that Byron Buxton was 29-for-30 against all MLB catchers last year and is the best baserunner in the AL by far.

The April tell I'm worried about is if average speed guys start going.

Buxton was basically up and dusting himself off when the ball got there.

Who is going to do more damage, him or Bichette?

I’m much higher on Vlad Jr than Bichette.

Back on topic, I loved seeing Sisco bunt against the shift.    Heck of a nice bunt, too.

Dozier campaigned about it after the game.  I feel it’s taunting the batter when you remove a player from his position.  I can’t believe someone would have a problem with you hitting it there.  I love watching Sisco at bats.

Dozier was not happy with it.  He says he thought about saying something to Sisco when he got to 2nd base but he decided not to because he said the Orioles have great veteran leaders like AJ and CD and he was sure those guys would "talk to Sisco about it".

I'm sure that they will.

"Nice bunt, rookie" will probably be the gist of the conversation.

I liked Sisco’s explanation.   http://www.masnsports.com/steve-melewski/2018/04/kevin-gausman-on-his-outing-chris-davis-on-the-offense.html

It probably had more to do with the fact that the Orioles were down 7-0. 

Then again, the Twins stole a base while up 6-0, so...

How about you don't shift when you are up 7-0?

Yes, and the Orioles even had the gall to load the bases and threaten Jose Berrios' chances for his first career complete-game shutout, also.

Horrible baseball etiquette. 

 

Sisco will certainly learn from this ........ not to give a rat's ass about what anybody on the other team says or thinks about him.

Wow.  He must not be an overly intelligent person.  That is called "adaptation;" its a key to survival.
