Lots of good memories in this thread. Sorry I couldn’t have participated during the game. Even after the postseason heroics I still hate Lackey’s face. I just want to punch him in his suck hole. Anyway the 2013 was memorable for lots of reasons. But it was their play that left me with one of my favorite Sox images of all-time.

He has a career 1.002 OPS, so that actually puts the Sox in the top tier of teams in terms handling him, with the exception of a few NL teams he's hardly faced.

He's a pretty good player.
I swear I looked a few years ago and his OPS against the Sox was in the high 700s, but seems like I misremembered. But yeah, he’s not bad.

Another interesting stat for Trout. Today was the first time (in eight tries) that he has been put out by the Red Sox in the ninth inning. He was 5 for 5 with a walk and an HBP prior to Brasier getting him to chase. The pitchers who couldn't get him out in the final inning: Hansel Robles, Matt Barnes, Brandon Workman, Brad Ziegler, Craig Kimbrel, and Alfredo Aceves (x2).

I am playing the game on mlb tv but it does not look like it covers the pre-game and the ceremony.

Yeah it does not.

Does anyone know a way to stream/watch it?

Ort in the 8th, Brasier in the 9th!
Cora tried to break SOSH (and me personally) with that usage but it worked, I am pleased to see. Congrats to Cora, Ort and Brasier!

I think a flat 20, same with and without runners on, is probably the sweet spot. It's simple, it's enough time to take a few deep breaths, and there's enough time for drama to build without anything dragging.
Why? What are we losing by watching guys stand outside the batter's box for an extra 5 seconds per pitch?

Was Kimbrel the walk or the HBP?

Oh god. I had managed to forget that Aceves ever existed.

Kimbrel K’d him to finish a game in 2018. It’s exactly the sort of thing I’d remember.
