Valazquez was bunting for a hit, but got credit for a Sac.

Yep, which he should not have. Down 2 runs with already one out is not a sacrifice time.

That pretty much always happens when a guy is bunting for a hit with a man on.

Jays are hot. On the move.

But it's his game. Like stealing home, thought he was thrown out. He weighs like 140 and is quick like Muggsy Bogues. Probably thinks he can beat out most bunts. Especially the good bunts, unlike that crappy bunt he just laid down.

Probably not much with a real baseball, but likely 70+ based on arm action and coordination.

This is the official Wiffle Ball TM.

I must have been playing with a pseudo-wiffle ball: a knock-off for unsuspecting folks called “the waffle ball” or something deceptively similar.

I could see it down one run and advancing a runner with nobody out. Not there.

I have no problem with the attempt at all. Just disagree with the official scorer.

Not saying it is right, just saying that is way more common than the alternative.

[MurphDogg]

Ugh, weak homer.

[scOtt]

I thought that was a pop up. Short/medium left.

[HowAboutThat]

Well, the Orioles are becoming experts at shooting themselves in the foot. This game should be 0-0, but for bad fundamental baseball.

And Wojo is going to be left in too long. He will start an inning and fall apart, and AFTER the catastrophe, Hyde will get someone up in the pen.

Sort of like a misplayed fly ball by an outfielder who doesn't touch it is not called an error. Typical scoring, sure, but a poor representation of what actually happened.

I agree.
