A couple of Sox errors, a couple of great defensive plays by the A’s, and a pretty terrible zone. Still had a chance to win at the end. Clean some things up and go get them tomorrow.
Three terrible strike calls in three different ABs completely altered the ABs and or killed the rally. Mazara getting called out on a pitch as bad as the Angel Hernandez call last weekend shut down an 8th inning rally.
Their defense was pretty outstanding today. Game is very different if Yoan’s fly ball isn’t caught. Or Abreu’s liner at the end is a foot or two in either direction.
