I like Buxton hitting 2nd. Way better than Donaldson. It seems like they must have made a deal with Donaldson that he gets to hit second, regardless of how he is hitting. For the endless multitude of lineups, Donaldson seems to not be moved, ever.
Well, we can beat the worst team in the American League right now. Thankful that is not us anymore beating ourselves. 4 in a row. I'll take it all day long, regardless.
I would have replaced Gordon for Cruz. I mean, the H stands for hitter, and Gordon is hitting..... and Sano is ... a black hole in space, sucking all the light away.
Pretty buff. It's too bad those arms and hands don't coordinate with his eyes better. If he could hit the ball, it should travel pretty well. Maybe he needs glasses?
Rogers has pitched the last 3 days.... that would be 3 out of 3 Dick, not 3 out of 4 (well, I guess technically, it is still 3 out of 4, but that is not the call....). Come on Dick, you get paid for this.....
OK. I see. I can buy that. But I like the successful bunt into the shift at anytime. The more runners on base, the more chance to score runs. The moneyball angle. And I love to see the shift being beat.
How was it the wrong time? It just needed to be bunted harder, and past the pitcher. That is the right bunt with nobody on the left side... just get it past the pitcher. Not a soft bunt that the pitcher or catcher could possibly field. Time was OK, but the bunt was not a good one.
