How often does a rookie, playing in his first MLB game ever - in the postseason - in an elimination game! - make an error? In the top of the 1st inning!

Cool stat. I'm also 99.8% sure there was no MLB team in SF in 1912.
I had to tear myself away from the game tonight for a while, and I turned it back on again just in time to see Crochet give up his first hit in 17 ABs, so I shut it off and didn't turn it back on again. So, you're welcome. 😆

Cleveland / Tigers game was entertaining to watch. Glad I didn't have a horse in that race or my stress level might have been off the charts. As I suspect it will be tonight.

I know the contract isn't good, but I miss Xander.

Not sure if Ceddy got his hand in ahead of the tag or not, but pretty sure he was obstructed.

Six weeks ago the Red Sox traded Devers, torpedoing their season.
Since then: best run differential in the American League.
So I don’t know, man.

Exhibit # 2,736,421 why blown saves are a meaningless stat. Our bullpen gave up 1 ER over 7 innings, but got charged with 2 blown saves.

Hope Alcala gets added to the list of Red Sox relievers with a single save.

I am so glad Abreu struck out instead of walking. Would have hated to see Narvaez waste his AB with a sac bunt like the radio guys were encouraging.

I have a simple rule to determine whose fault losses should be blamed on. I call it the rule of 4.5. If your team scores more than 4.5 runs and lose, it's the pitching/defense fault. If you hold the other team to less than 4.5 runs and lose, it's the offense's fault.

Errors might be useful for calculating BA. But they're still a completely useless indicator of team (or invididual's) defense. e.g., Red Sox lead the league in errors, but are 11th in runs saved. @sportsinfosolutions.com @marksimon.bsky.social www.sportsinfosolutions.com/2025/07/16/r...

Saw 4 IFers and only 2 OFers on this one, and needed 3 of each. Surprised one of the IF had more time in the OF. I guessed correctly, but had to fact check it afterwards.

For all of the Red Sox fans consternation over the trade, the Red Sox are undefeated in the post Devers era. Winning run came in the 1st inning off the bat of Roman Anthony. #dirtywater
