The pick was a good play. As was the DP last inning. He makes some poor throws on routine plays, tho. Which is frustrating.

Bunting is actually kinda difficult, Exhibit 746.

Phew. But a game against the **** Cubs should not be this close.

Huge clutch game by Jansen.

Jansen deserves a full WAR point for this game

Never in doubt.

I feel like people that complain about guys not being able to bunt anymore, forget about how hard pitchers throw these days, more movement, more spin, etc. Nobody’s bunting an 88 mph fastball these days.

I haven't played a game of organized baseball in 20+ years, and even I could bunt better than Espinal showed there. It's simple physics - you want the ball to go left, tilt the bat head out. You want it go to the first - which you don't in that situation - then you tilt the head back, which Espy did.

I know bunting is a lost art, but surely these pro baseball players have to at least know that much. And surely they at least bunt in spring training, if not once in a blue moon during the season. This is peewee level stuff. Just brutal. They have to be better than that.

He looks so close to becoming a good regular hitting catcher.

Am I the only one who noticed that Chapman didnt touch 3rd base when rounding it? Oh well, that's why you don't waste a challenge when it was obvious and your player knew he was out.
