I know, I know...

I thought the kid should have bunted in the third, too, after Coco Crisp's leadoff single.

Instead, Jacoby Ellsbury fouled out to third, continuing a nasty slump that was at 3 for 22 at the start of the day. By my count, he's only had one possible hit taken away on the trip; he's been hitting few balls with any authority.

BTW, how'd you like be Sean Casey these days? He barely plays, and when he does, it's against guys like John Lackey of the Angels (0 for 3, 2 whiffs Friday) and now Felix the Cat (2 K's). That's four K's and counting.

Buchholz just threw out Bryan LaHare on that Baltimore chop so high it could have landed in Wilmington, but ump Dan Iassogna missed one.
