Hope Tito takes the hint and Ellsbury's performance today as evidence that he should stay at the bottom of the order, not evidence that he should go back to leadoff.
4 stolen bases by Ellsbury today. Ties Red Sox single game record.
That's what makes Ells a better baserunner/basestealer than Gardner. He goes right away, while Gardner waits 6 or 7 pitches to gauge the pitcher before he THINKS about going.
