The Twins should have thought of this before. You can definitely see the value of having a starting staff with a 0.00 ERA. We have spent too much time worrying about Buxton and Sano and the offensive

Curveball, high fastball, curveball in the dirt. That's how to strike out Buxton in 3 pitches. The Pirates know this, we know this...seems the Twins hitting coaches do not.

Hitting a baseball is slightly more difficult than a coach telling a batter, "Hey, big fella- go up there & hit the ball.  Try not to whiff, okay?"

On what basis is someone defending those comments? Ugh

 

I came in halfway through his thought, and only heard him say that Sisco is a young player, and the Orioles do have veteran leadership.

 

Also, Dozier thinks Taillon should man up and swing the bat.  Unfortunately, there's not a lot of veterans in the Pirates clubhouse to take care of it.

1.  the amount of comments about the bunt on Twins Daily exceed the amount of comments by the players by a factor approaching 1000-1.

 

2.  the players involved understand why the bunt would raise eyebrows, but do nothing else.

 

3.  Gladden didn't actually defend the comments, but noted the Orioles, earlier in the 9th, did not hold a runner on first, indicating they believed the game to be over, and the Twins did not take the free base, indicating they accepted the same situation

 

4.  my guess is the veteran leadership on the Orioles let the rookie know it's not a big deal, but we don't play like that in the big leagues.
