    I think we can all agree to stop thinking/talking about this guy.

    You convinced me. Having the thirdbase runner running on a ground ball when bases are loaded and Hanley is next to bat is a good idea.
    In the town where I was born
    Lived a man who sailed to sea
    And he told us of his life
    In the land of submarines
    So we sailed up to the sun
    'Til we found a sea of green
    And we lived beneath the waves
    In our yellow submarine

    So with the bases loaded and 1 out, the runner on third is supposed to stay at 3rd on an infield grounder? And even if Pedey holds, that means somehow Benintendi has to get back to second and Betts to first. There were going to be 2 outs on that play no matter what.

    Cmon, SoxHop you're better than this.
    The Yankees could go 0-162 and it wouldn't be enough

    They don't have a great record against teams above .500. They need to win the easier matchups.

    A's came in playing well; they just swept a 4 game series with the Astros. They are the type of team that's dangerous this time of year, bunch of kids no one knows anything about who have no pressure on them.

    That being said, Sox need to win this afternoon. Taking 2/3 every series (or splitting a 4 gamer) from here on in will be just fine. What they can't be doing is losing series.

    Yeah, I don't think it's reasonable to sweep every series against a worse opponent. You still have to come away with a series win though.

    Fixed that for you... just because someone pointed that same thing out to me on the morning of a previous day game.

    There are few things more frustrating to me than to be looking for a game at 7:00 only to find out it was played in the afternoon!!
    It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.

    I was joking around. I wanted to see if Max caught what he said. Of course the runner is off as soon as it's a ground ball.
