his slide got him just to the outside line of the RH batters box, for those who can't watch.

It's so maddening, but Moran didn't get much of a lead, and didn't exactly bust it when the ball was hit, kind of looky looing the thing.

He's quickly playing himself into oblivion. Some of the dropped throws, his OPS is now below .750, if Yoshi keeps showing he's what the Rays wanted when they got him from Japan, Moran could be on his way out if the Bucs can sign Tsutsugo.

After all that, he'll hit a game winning HR and be SOG!!

Yeah, even if everything goes as planned, he's only out by a couple feet then. It looked to me like Moran never had any intention of trying to go home, I think he was surprised to be waved

I wonder if Moran knew from how shallow the hit was in the OF that he had no chance to score and was not anticipating being waved home.

What do we expect from a team that's already lost 92 games though?

Alford ropes a single to lead off right on cue as KY was talking about how hard he hits the ball when he's timed up

Brown ripping Moran pretty good

Time to move on from Park and give someone else a call up, send him to Indy to finish the year

KY didn't like the bunt attempt...thinks it was a missed sign thing
