Sandy Leon just took the team lead for baserunning runs created!

Sandy working deep counts getting big hits again. Dodging tags at home plate to end games. Deathstar mode activated once again (;

Ok! That made up for all the bad base running.

What a slide by Sandy. He tripped over himself and it was the slide of the season.

Another 0-fer for Mookie. Let's see how long Manager John continues to bash his head against the leadoff wall.
Edit to add: Oh yeah... great win.

Nunez likely to the DL with retina damage. Great win.

They needed that win and badly. That was a quality win.
And that was one heck of a maneuver by Sandy Leon at home plate. I don't know how he avoided the tag and was able to swivel to reach the plate with his hand. That's a really big body to swivel.

That slide! Leon and Vasquez are really doing a great job this year. They both gunned down guys with serious wheels.

That was about as exciting a game as I've seen all year. 4 lead changes and one team or the other scored in all but the 1st and 9th innings.
17 total runs (13 earned), 27 hits, 4 errors, 6 wild pitches, 3 passed balls, and one GREAT slide/dive into home to win it. Not always pretty by any means but damned exciting.

Another 0-fer for Mookie. Let's see how long Manager John continues to bash his head against the leadoff wall. I don't understand you guys. Sometimes it seems like you want Mookie batting 3rd because he's the best hitter in the team, but now you want him to bat whenever because he's in a slump. And regardless of how he does, it's Farrell's fault.

The last time I can recall a mid-season acquisition having such an immediate impact as Nunez has was 2004. I hope we have a similar result.

I think we've thrown enough garbage. Stop.
It's good Nunez and Devers have given the team a lift. Because they certainly couldn't have done it on their own. First time I've heard Farrell express concern about getting X back on track and it can't come soon enough.

He's our best all around offensive player, and I want men on base when he comes up. On top of that, Betts has clearly struggled in the top spot. It isn't about a Farrell witch hunt.

Ok! That made up for all the bad base running. Not quite because we would have won it in regulation with good baserunning but a win is a win! Glad to see Nunez make a huge impact.

And regardless of how he does, it's Farrell's fault. My guess is a high percentage of Sox fans want the team to fail so they can say, "I told you so." Of course if the team wins the World Series everything is great, but since that usually isn't going to happen they're "right" most of the time.

On top of that, Betts has clearly struggled in the top spot. It isn't about a Farrell witch hunt. He has not struggled in the top spot man, he has a higher OPS this year there than batting 3rd (granted in a SSS, but still). He has over 1500 PAs in the top spot. His slump is not about where he hits, it's a slump.
