I agree. I just wish odor had been standing closer to the Baseline where the runner would be passing by and let the ball come to him so he could just make a swipe tag. I have to rewatch it to see if that would even be possible, but I just thought it was interesting how far off the base path he was even if the throw was a little offline.

Yeah. Once Odor went out there, he pretty much had no way to make a tag. Did he have to do that, and if so why?

He had no chance unless his arms are 12 feet long.

Brutal at bat from Mountcastle.

First time I've seen the weird Boston unis. What about "Red Sox" did the designers not understand? Reminds me of the football Chargers.

[LA2]

They put the Boston area code on their left sleeve??

[LA2]

Beautiful tough K of JDM.

Palmer soundling more like himself of a few years ago today. Wonder if he's fresher during day games.

Of course. Weak infield hit and weak grounder scores a run. 
 

With the quality at bats this team has had may be enough.

Perez laboring.. and there it is the go ahead run.. might as well be 10-2 with this offense..

Whining about shift twice.

WP and two weak infield grounders produce Boston's go-ahead run. Don't know why the infield was playing back--made the play at plate or DP impossible.

The Red Sox occasionally wear these yellow and blue uniforms in honor of the Boston Marathon.  They wore them when the Orioles played their final series in Boston last year, as well.

I never knew the Boston Marathon had an official set of colors, let alone that the colors are yellow and blue, but that's the explanation.

Trying for two. 
 

We when have a runner at 3rd we hit it crisply at the 3rd basemen.

Boston with one of the worst BPs in MLB and we haven't hit the broad side of a barn last 2 days. Now it's set up nicely for them to bring in their couple high leverage guys to close it out.

Thanks. I was wondering about that. I asked my buddy who lived in Boston for a little while and he had no idea. He guessed it was something Ukraine related lol.

Breaking ball away, pull it for a weak grounder. 
 

Rinse, repeat.
