McCormick, getting the start because he’s just a masher against right handed pitchers, grounds out 6-3 on the first pitch to get the inning started.
Bregman…2-0…takes a meatball for strike one…3-1…takes a meatball for strike two…whiff.
Alvarez with a 2-out single
Diaz draws a 4-pitch walk. Two on, two out for Pena…
Pena works the count full…swing and a miss
9/27ths of the way home…2-1 Sox
Appreciate the play-by-play here. I forgot that the game is blacked out because I am only like 300 miles from Boston. So stupid.
It’s blacked out on MLB.TV because it’s being shown on your local RSN. It’s blacked out on MLB.TV for me too, and I can see the stadium from where I sit.
JV with another good 1-2-3 inning. Middle of four…2-1 Sox
Caratini vying for the dictionary photo accompanying the word “slow”.
Caratini grounds out 4-3
Meyers down on strikes
Dubon flies out F9
End of four…2-1 Sox still
Sounds like I should be glad I’m at the winery today managing fermentations today and not watching the game.
The only bad part of watching the game is you have to watch Meyers, Dubon, Whitcomb, and McCormick…in a row.
Another 1-2-3 inning from Verlander
Halfway…2-1 Red Sox
I assume that’s it for JV, he pitched really well and should probably be up 1-0 with better outfield defense
Whitcomb grounds out 6-3
McCormick carved up. Woof
At this point, I’m wondering why they let Aledmys Diaz go and kept McCormick.
That’ll be all for Criswell. Zack Kelly in
Technically, that’s what happened. But the full description goes more like this: Caratini hits a hard ground ball to the 2nd baseman’s left, who botches the play. The ball rolls out into RF, the 2nd baseman scrambles after it, grabs it, spins, and whips it to 1st. And gets Caratini. By more than a step.
His arm. Duh.
