Nunez let Hays off the hook for the base running miscue.

I'm not sure Hays would have been safe even if he had tagged up in time.   The throw was a LITTLE off line but it got there pretty quick and the catcher could have swiped around with the tag.   It's possible that "miscue" which resulted in him holding worked out better for us.

Chris Davis and the march to 20 HR! 
 

And it won’t start today....

How can Davis not bunt down the third base line?

Best half-inning of the young season. Sox pitcher Perez is already on the ropes based on how poorly he's pitching right now. Here's hoping for a reversal of last night's score.

Thank you Devers!   He's a heck of a hitter but he's given us a lot of gifts with the glove over the past few years.

Maybe not, we’ll never know, but he certainly needs to be on the bag ready to tag.

That hasn’t  worked out for him. But yes, he should be able to do it.

If the Red Sox' outfielder had not bobbled the ball as it came off of the wall, he probably would have thrown out Nunez at 2nd base.

Subsequently, the Orioles were not only able to add an additional run on the scoreboard, but they also drove Perez' pitch-count up higher (it wound up being a 26-pitch inning.)

Cobb quickly 0-2.

[Il BuonO]

Alright, alright, alright! Cobb dealing after one pitch!

Both times he tried it.
