A Bee Delay?!? Yup, Sunday was a Weird Day in MLB

Jake Roth-USA TODAY Sports

About 70 young baseball players will fulfill their dreams tonight when Major League Baseball holds the first two rounds of its annual first-year player draft. Included in that group will be Adley Rutschman, the Oregon State catcher whom the Orioles are expected to take with the first overall pick. After that will be some college and high school players you might never have heard of, but who could become MLB stars within a year or three. Meanwhile, on the field Sunday, there was a bee delay — complete with controversy — and a dominant performance from Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer.

There are some familiar faces in this montage. All were drafted as relative unknowns at one point or another.

Adley Rutschman took the time to thank his Oregon State teammates and supporters. But it’s certainly possible he won’t be ditching the orange and black for long. #Orioles

Last year’s No. 6 overall pick, Jarred Kelenic, reminds us all of why this moment is so special to the young men selected. The Mets took Kelenic last year and traded him to the Mariners, with whom he’s become a rising star in the Minors.

Rain delays, lightning delays, power-outage delays? BEE DELAYS? In San Diego, that’s what they had Sunday

The bee population is dwindling, so the way the bees were taken care of upset many.

Max Scherzer reminded us why he’s won Cy Young awards in the past. He also reminded Nationals manager Davy Martinez that 117 pitches is nothing (he struck out No. 15 on three pitches to end his outing).
