Last night, Padres down 4-0 in the 8th. 7th and 8th hitters get on. Melvin asks the 9th batter Azocar to sacrifice.
Reasoning: I wanted my best guys Bogaarts, Soto and Machado up with runners on 2nd and 3rd.
Bogaarts hit a sac fly and Soto struck out. Padres lost 4-1.

So last year Yankees got off to a historic start. This year the Rays are mashing teams. Weak schedule early on but games aren't even close. I hate it
I don't know, for me there's still lots of questions surrounding the Rays.
We're 9 games into the season and they're the only team in the majors whose bullpen has yet to record a single save. Not sure how you can be a contender if your bullpen can't save a single game.
After how they looked against the Jays in the first series, is anyone surprised at how bad the Cards have been since then?
The NL is crazy good, much better than the AL. They lost to Atlanta and Milwaukee, two contenders. They should roll the Rockies next, at least 2 out of 3.
