Another inside-the-park homerun today, this time by Correa. Seems like there have been a lot of those to start off the season. Three in the first week, it's hard to be sure but I feel like they're usually rarer than that.

It's ridiculous that they're whining when it wasn't a no-hitter. On the subject of no-hitters, though, I've always had trouble settling on a position. I agree that it's the job of the batter to get a hit and it doesn't make sense to forbid them from doing it on the basis of an "unwritten rule". On the other hand, bunting for a hit in the ninth inning of a no-no when your team is losing by nine or ten runs just seems like you're being a dick. I mean yeah, theoretically it could lead to an historic comeback, but you're basically screwing over a fellow baseball players' opportunity at history for something that you have to know probably isn't going to happen. So I don't really condone the pitching team whining about it, but at the same time I guess I support the great "unwritten rule" of life: Don't be a dick, dude.

There need to be more. Bring back the dead ball!
Priorities:
1. Yankees lose
2. Red Sox win
I forget the circumstances of Schilling's game, which is the one that always comes to mind. If you're ten runs down, yeah, I can see that being an issue. But not if it's a tighter game than that.
Priorities:
1. Yankees lose
2. Red Sox win
OK, I've just had a great idea. Every team does a Turn Back the Clock weekend with no music or jumbotron, retro uniforms - and a dead ball!
Priorities:
1. Yankees lose
2. Red Sox win
They should definitely go back to only using one baseball per game, so that by the seventh or eighth inning it's almost black with dirt and so pummeled and misshapen that it's like throwing a beanbag.

In 2012, the Sox played the Cubs for the first time since the 1918 World Series. It was a weekend series at Fenway, and I went to the Saturday game when they wore their 1918 uniforms. They had a Turn Back the Clock Inning. Scoreboards turned off (including the lights on the Monster), and the PA duties turned to men dressed in 1918 formal attire yelling out of one of those things that cheerleaders use. It was cool. I remember that game well. Marlon Byrd got hit in the eye.
Wait, do you mean at Fenway for the first time? Because I definitely remember a series at Wrigley in 2005, Youk hit his only HR of that season in one of those games.

Yeah, first time at Fenway.
The problem is that they complained that the batter bunted against the shift. If you're going to shift against a batter, I don't think bunting is the end of the world. It's not any more cheap than shifting against a batter.
I agree.
Live by the sword, die by sword.
Or something like that.

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
I tend to agree with Youk. If the game is close, by all means, do whatever you can to get on base, including bunting against the shift. If it's the 9th inning of a blowout game, then I have to go with the unwritten rule. It's kind of like swinging on a 3-0 pitch or stealing a base when your team is up by 10.
This is pretty cool.

20-run game today by Philadelphia. Their starting pitcher had two hits in the game. They didn't even bother to pinch-hit for the relief pitcher. 20+ run games are always fun to read about as long as they don't happen to your team. Anyways, the Marlins are terrible.
