So the Sox had an 11 game run before the trade deadline to detrmine if they were buyers or sellers. They are now 0-3 in that effort. Does everyone realize that they could still go 8-3?? Just saying.
So the Sox get the requisite 27 outs, allowing only 3 after the first inning, and shutting out Toronto in 7 of 9 innings . This is a NESN positive news update.
The scary part is that I can remember his baseball card, as well as Mike Fornieles, and Casales feat over the Yankees was the subject of one of those back page cartoons illustrations of the game , probably in the Herald. All 1950's stuff
It was not an intentional walk call from the bench, it was his own failure to know the rules. His miss of 1B later is on him also . I'll settle on Sawamaura was an unlucky choice for Cora
Those are great choices from deep in the dumpster bin. Cazales was a good pitcher who I recall beat the Yankees one day with his pitching and a big HR over the wall to complete a sweep. Delock was a mid 50s steady member of the rotation.
Sawamura was the wrong choice at the time, AC . And you stayed with him a bit too long. This game would be more winnable if it was 5 or 6 to 4, instead of 8.
Yes, Splinter pointed out yesterday that Sanchez is a vet. I didn't call it a rookie or sysstem mistake, but his own fundamental positioning prevented a potential play.
Doesn't matter too much but another fundamental was sanchez's positioning to receive Duran's nice throw. Yes, the ball was a little on the 1B side but Sanchez was 6'+ off the bag. Would have been a tough play, but makeable
