Bullshit running play if that was called from the dugout.

They need to stop this really shitty double steal play…
Defensive alignment vs Duran left a big hole between 2bman and 1Bman. But if Jarren could bunt, a ball pushed up the 3B side would have allowed Dugo to stop for ice cream on the way home

How many times have the Sox tried that double steal--to 2d and then to home--and had it fail? Has it worked this year?
A call like that sends a strong message to Duran that Cora doesn't believe he'll drive the runner in.
It does take a smart infielder to be aware and a good throw home, which they did make . Even then, Dugo was closer than it originally appeared.
Gotta love pitchers who serve up 0-2 HR's.
That so-called "sweeper" by Whitlock looks like a barely breaking curve ball. Thus the new name to mask the fact that it's very hittable.
Whoops, there goes another rubber tree plant--which means another hit off Whitlock, this time off the changeup, low in the zone too.
In the first inning Whitlock looks very hittable.
It had to come from the dugout.
As I noted....If Duran could bunt...
Although not really accurate, Duran put the hex on Cora for not letting him hit last inning
One other possibility on the double steal: Yoshida mistook the sign because it came to him via translation.
No question Duran did just that.
The so-called "sweeper" is now a waste pitch for Whitlock. He's relying on his fastball and changeup for outs. That changeup has some bite to it.
This is what happens when you get a new phone, lose all your passwords and want to comment.
After 2 innings, Whitlock has thrown 41 pitches and Davies 45.
Tapia looked safe
