Why no bunt by Perez? Gruesomely disappointing for the Royals there.
 
My guess would be because it's NL rules and you don't typically want to bunt with the pitcher coming up.  But Guthrie actually can hit a little.

During the Angels series, Yost said that Perez was one of the few guys on the team who can't get a bunt down.

You have to call for it beforehand, or it sounds like, you know, second guessing. 
I expected it from watching games managed by Yost. Also from watching Perez hit, his HR vs. Bumgarner notwithstanding.

He's leaning the wrong way as the play begins. Pedroia makes that play without even having to slide.
True, but Panik and Pedroia both have a little toreador in their backhand short-hop pickup.

Pedro absorbed all the duende on this planet.  Until he joins the choir invisible there won't be measurable duende in any player.
There is no duende left above replacement.

“@PeteAbe: The grounds crew here cleaning up the over-watered infield between innings. Sloppy track surely aimed at KC base-stealers.”

This is legal to do?

You may be a nedyost.
A nedyost sounds like a full ethnicity, like he should be wearing a tall fur heat and sporting a full handlebar mustache.

Stuff like this has been going on forever.  Have a team with speed?  Don't cut the infield grass as short, etc.
Selective air conditioning in the visitor's locker room helps too.

Old (pre 2009) yankee stadium had heating in the home dugout seating but not in the visiting dugout
 
First baseball game I saw was in original (old2) yankee stadium
 
Edit: they were playing the Tigers. I rooted for the Tigers, who won

What is the fascination with Kim Hudson?  I just don't get it.
I'm guessing they think it humanizes the whole thing and that it appeals to women so that they'll be thinking of themselves in her place.  Maybe that works for the incredibly casual women fans who might accidentally be in the audience but I can only imagine the women of SoSh, Cheri, Foxinsox, Clemente38 and others rolling their eyes at it.
