Once again, my point exactly. You cannot routinely give up early runs and expect to come back. The sox dont have the pen to do it and the hitting is not going to get it done every time against the best in the game.
would you like to take the knife out of his back before or after you send him packing. The guy would give his lungs to win for the sox and he gets blackballed by the fans as he is close to departing.
and Tito should take the blame here. Coco should have bunted to get runners to 2nd and 3rd. That would guarantee that Papi gets up with RISP. Instead the rally dies with him on deck.
