And meanwhile, with the team in the middle of a playoff run the O's draw 16,000 something last night and a shade over 20,000 tonight -- and that's with scads of Sox fans apparently invading the park. That's pathetic. Yeah, I bought my tickets for tomorrow's game just a couple days ago, was surprised at how many seats were left ... it wasn't even the ridiculous, jacked-up "premium game" pricing.

Why wasn't Hernandez covering the bag there? Young played it nicely and Schoop kinda tripped on his way to second

I'm almost overconfident about the Red Sox bullpen right now. I feel like this game is over. Jinx.

I'm almost overconfident about the Red Sox bullpen right now. I feel like this game is over. You were saying? Whenever Dave O'Brien feels the need to remind us that the Red Sox relievers have stranded their last 19 baserunners you know that streak is coming to an end. I'm also worried that this game is about to become a lot closer. I honestly don't know why Barnes was the reliever of choice in the 7th inning. They should have their three best available - Ziegler, Uehara, and Kimbrel so why screw around with Barnes at all? I don't get it.

Does it seem bizarre to anyone else that they took out Eduardo after just 90 pitches when he was kind of dominating?

Eh, it's still a 3-run lead folks ... Barnes let one inherited runner score, it's not a disaster.

Even those. Like, take deepjohn's assertion that Kopech is an average-to-above major league starter right now. Who is an average major league starting pitcher... Tom Koehler? Late-career Adam Wainwright? The difference between Kopech and one of those dudes is much smaller than the difference between Mike Trout and a player who isn't taken as a real threat. Trout already has a higher career bWAR than Joey Votto and Evan Longoria. I'm talking more about claims like "Margot was only highly rated because he is a right-handed power hitter and his prospect status has declined because he's not hitting enough bombs". Yeah, I mean that's pretty crazy. But he could claim that Manual Margot is bad because he is a literal Hammerhead shark and can't play center field well because he can't stay above water for long enough, and he'd still be closer to reality than Mike Trout being not feared.

Karl Malone once won an MVP award when Michael Jordan was still in his prime. That may be why Mookie wins this year. Trout could win literally every year for the next 6-7 years ... voters are going to come up with reasons to vote for someone else to avoid "boredom," although "ohmygod we are witnessing a guy who could plausibly end up as the greatest baseball players to ever play the game" isn't all that boring to me. MVP though is most Valuable, not best exactly. I have always thought it absurd to consider a player on a last place team. How much worse would the Angels be without Trout? Much, but can't be any more last place. Kirk Gibson on the Dodgers was an obvious MVP who's stats were not the whole picture. He was an excellent player who was absolutely the difference maker for his team. To me, the biggest argument against Betts or Papi might be how good the other is. Still, I think Papi deserves it. His numbers are insane, but more importantly, he is the indispensable figure on the team.

That might have been the least exciting homerun-robbing catch I have ever seen.

Buuuuut ... back to the series: this has to be the game the Sox are least likely to win this series, right? Gausman has suddenly decided to be an excellent pitcher, and ERod has been pretty inconsistent. Which will make the win that much sweeter. ![](http://umad.com/img/2015/8/napoleon-dynamite-sweet-gif-7153-7481-hd-wallpapers.jpg)
