It's got to be hard being BD because you know your days are numbered in Boston . He needed to HR rather than K.. The switch to Casas in that situation is understood. Tristan almost fooled Beni

 

At the very least, he needed to hit it hard somewhere. Maybe it gets caught, maybe it doesn’t, but those were the same swings we’ve seen for a couple years.

 

He’s had ample opportunity to do something; he’s failed.

[Maxbialystock]

Thank goodness for the helmets.

[Jasonbay44]

That Andrus HBP could’ve been really bad. Glad he’s okay

[Tedballgame]

Kutter looking good.

[Jasonbay44]

Nice scoop by Casas. Solid 3 innings for Kutter

[Maxbialystock]

DP!!

[illinoisredsox]

Thank goodness for the helmets.

 

Got him in the hand, but your statement still stands.

[Tedballgame]

Thank goodness for the helmets.

 

It hit his hand, not his helmet, but yes, thank goodness they wear helmets today.

[d-money]

Get crawford some runs man.

[Maxbialystock]

Short showcase for Dalbec. Now you see him, now you don't.

[Tedballgame]

So many weak outs by the Red Sox.

Helping hint: MLB made helmets mandatory for all new players in 1971. Veterans were grandfathered in and were not required to, although most did.

So you're saying it wasn't Ted Williams. That would have been a laugh to see. Ted and several others used those flimsy cap liners for protection

[Maxbialystock]

Maybe one too many sliders, especially when this one didn't have the same bite as the others.

[d-money]

This offense is so anemic. Crawford makes a mistake.

Or THE HAWK?

[illinoisredsox]

Or THE HAWK?

 

Neither of those is correct, although the Hawk reference reminded me that this player did do some broadcasting.

[Jasonbay44]

Good to see Devers walking

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I believe the SOX will win this game.

The only thing I know about the batting helmet is that it came into being after Don Zimmer got beaned and had to have a metal plate put in his head.

[d-money]

A leadoff walk is never good.

[illinoisredsox]

A leadoff walk is never good.

 

Especially since it clearly strike 3

[FredLynn]

I believe the SOX will win this game.

 

I believe the Red Sox are almost as good as the White Sox.

Can’t argue with you guess though.

[redsoxrules]

Especially since it clearly strike 3

 

Make up call from earlier in the AB. He should have walked long before that pitch

[d-money]

Cannot walk this guy. Challenge him.
