O'Neill had a muscle, er, I mean brain cramp. Unfortunately, managers nowadays just shrug that s*** off. Being loved is more important than being feared.
It's a LH heavy batting offense that hasn't had much success against lefty pitching. It wouldn't be a stretch to state that Rafaela has been the SOX most productive RH batter.
I just checked and you are correct. While checking about the rubber, I found that if a ball does hit the rubber on the mound w/o being touched by a player and it goes foul, it is considered a foul ball.
