Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
the band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
and somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
but there is no joy in Natick — Vazquez hit it out
Tonight really wasn't that bad; far better than recent outings. Correa hit the snot out of it but it isn't the first time he's done that and it won't be the last. The two runs in the 4th had a huge element of bad Sox luck or good Houston fortune in them.
Behind McCullers, that is a distinct possibility; he's good.
I had the pleasurre of seeing both Correa and McCullers here when they were in Low-A ball. You could see they were special players.
Correa crushes a lot of homers. He's a great hitter, it happens.
In the 4th, the first hit was hit in a perfect spot. It would have been better for the Sox if the ball to Moreland had been hit harder, he nails him at the plate if it is. The 2nd run came on a perfectly executed bunt.
Of course the option was an overwhelmingly huge part of the decision. We (fans) have absolutely no idea what else if anything contributed to said decision and to what extent "else" was or was not a factor.
It is also a fact that fans know nothing of what really goes on in a clubhouse (which is what I was trying to say); those who think they do are delusional.
