Let me elaborate:

KC bunts runner from 2nd over to 3rd and he scores on a sac fly. Royals up 3-2. 

Tribe starts 10th with Pérez on 2nd and he is pinch run for by Allen. Zimmer gets hbp. 2 on, no out with the top of the order up........and three straight K’s.

I'm not sure how I feel overall about the new rule, but it does benefit teams who good fundamentally on offense. A runner on second with no one out should score. It seems like we have been terrible at moving runners up a base for at least 15 years.

As a Pirates fan, assuming the team is good enough to extend anyone to 10, that's a huge concern because they can be comically bad at turning opportunities into scores. Yesterday had this comically bad inning where they had bases loaded and no one out and only got one run out of it. Because Wainwright walked in a guy -- they sure as hell didn't do anything proactive to get on the board. Some teams just, for whatever reason(s) don't get things done in those situations. I know...

I know that it is against bad pitching today, but it is still nice to see the offense have some success.

Another JRam bomb (solo) 8-2

I’m also happy to see Carrasco succeed because at the end of last season I thought he was washed up.

JRAM homers from both sides of the plate. Carrasco looked sharp.

I heard Hammy say that each game in this season is about 2.75 game of a regular season. 

Interesting way to look at it.
