Luck is a huge element in sports, especially in close contests. An inch, a bad bounce, or a couple of long balls that fall just short of being home runs.
One bad hanging pitch driven out for a 3 run home run...one of just 5 hits in the game.
Tough loss to a team that has been playing very well, especially at home.
Camden walls are a joke since they changed the dimensions.
Two balls hit to Left Center by Seby and Robert would have been HR in most parks.
Interesting perspective.. Rutschman is 24 years old and Eloy is 25...less than two years older.
As far as Eloy's stance, his grip, and swing, they remind me of Ernie Banks.
I am in the minority here. I still have hopes that the Sox make the playoffs this year. Meanwhile, I have been enjoying the hell out of games like the 3 wins in Detroit, the 2 wins over Houston and the Cueto win at Cleveland. We got cheated today by having the Cease start against Cleveland rained out.Very disappointed by that.
Because we only have one other catcher on the roster....and there were no outs ...so ostensibly, a competent 3rd base coach would not be sending Grandal. No that was 100% McEwing's fault... and he has done the same thing several times this year
Stupid Joe has been doing stupid things all year.
Nobody out and he sends one of the slowest runners in baseball who has still not recovered fully from surgery.
