Walks Will Haunt
The dreaded bases on balls were a huge part of last night's game on both sides of the diamond. Sox pitchers walked six Indians - four of those six guys scored. Our guys were taking advantage of it too with eight walks and five of them ended up scoring.
That's one of the things that makes baseball great - those sayings you hear all the time are true. With regard to the walks, it might seemed like it was contagious throughout the night on both sides, but with the same results. Those free passes really hurt.
Hawk mentioned that if you had told him we'd score eight runs with Contreras on the hill, he would be sitting pretty. Again, that's why they play the games - nothing is ever set.
