I can't believe they didn't think of it sooner. Both golf and tennis had innovations to enlarge the sweet spot. Pretty simple, actually.

Bad call by ump on first walk. Should have been a K.

That says it all.

I'm sure that's it, but the video started after the rescue by Rollins and a teammate. I was later when the Phillies team came out of the clubhouse.

What exactly are the rules?

About 15 years ago I was at a Rockies/Phillies game in Denver, and a storm came in late and caused havoc with the ground crew. I went home, since it was gonna be a while. Next night, same thing. The crew could not handle the tarp, and one guy got swept under it. He could have died in there. Jimmy Rollins and one other guy in Philly dugout saw it and went out there under the tarp to pull the guy out safely.

Was it a tough play for Amaya?

C'mon, man.

Not a bad idea.

Red Sox sure have a bucket of worms here. They are in Year 2 of a 10-year deal. The only people smiling are Devers and his agent. It blows my mind how easy it is for agents to fleece the GM's.

May 1. Then it goes to the worst record of new season.

I don't think so. Turns out he was right, whoever he is. I'd love to know.

I wonder what his arb claim would be next year. This is probably his last year here.

Line drive in the box score.

Was Vaughn robbed of extra base hits often last year, or Just My Imagination, Running Away with Me.

I don't think they will be rushing Jacob Gonzalez.

He was so bad. I once thought that the players from DR and Cuba were overrated compared to US kids, but Paddy was a major flaw in the concoction.

But it's not because he is a Latin guy.

Catcher is the one position where Sox should be better this year. Center Field should also be better, if Robert continues to stay injury-free.

They remind me of the St. Louis Browns in the late 40's.

Starters or bullpen?

Sox lost twice by a combined score of 24-5 and gave up 23 walks.

Sox scored 6 in the 9th.

I bet the Royals pick up Ricki as a Coach somewhere.
