Clutch Colson time

Good start

Only need 3 runs to set up the most aggravating outcome here

Well I just meant the count was yet another reason it wouldn't have been intentional. In addition to it being a crappy slider

My view is if Lowe didn't like it he was free to beat Sam up over it

1-2 intentional bean ball would be straight out of the AARP La Russa playbook

Savvy by Teel to make sure he put his whole body between the batter and Richards while telling him it was an accident

Umpire has missed 9 calls tonight, 7 against the Sox (not including 1 that went against the PIrates and was successfully challenged)

Richards dots the corner... ball, lol

Don't think what Sam did was worth clearing the benches over

Sure, it's just a question of whether there's really a difference between when it's right to the 3B vs. right down the line vs. right between the 3B and SS. IMO, not really, player has no control over that. That said, Miguel is so good at lofting the ball I wish he was more able to stay out of that possibility.

Two ~.500 grounders, 1 hit, 2 outs

Should have struck out

Check swingitis

lol Doval has had to have put some fans and possibly coaches into the asylum

Kinda surprising they're letting Doval stay out there

When did Sam last hit a homer?

Doval has gotta be one of the least fun guys to bat against

A little bit of justice in this world

When they're close he probably shouldn't but that one missed by so much he should be unless he's been straight up banned

Chase extends his MLB lead in first pitch balls called strikes

Ump didn't mind how long it took to see the challenge when he knew the pitcher was about to blow it

Look at the bright side: Got a scoreless outing of Davis

I've been thinking that they are trying to stretch him out to make starts

We've had plenty of time to see the Sox playing .500 ball. I expect that's what they'll continue to do.
