You never know when you’re about to see the thing you’ve never seen before. Ten minutes ago, I had no idea I’d be typing this, but here we are: The Red Sox lost on a walk-off catcher’s interference call with the bases loaded in the 10th inning. Tom Caron is apopleptic about them losing all 7 extra inning games on the road rn, but I’m stuck on the catcher’s interference thing if we’re being honest.
Three Studs
Walker Buehler
When he has it he has it and when he doesn’t he doesn’t, and tonight he had it. I sold his dad one of his baseball cards once. It was an obscure, not-valuable red Donruss variation. He apparently wants to collect all of Walker’s cards, which I get entirely.
Jarren Duran
He hit a leadoff dong, which is what you want of your leadoff hitter. It was such a no-doubter that Grey was skeptical:
Aroldis Chapman
He put down the meat of the order in the eighth pretty masterfully.
Three Duds
Carlos Narvaez

The God of Extra Innings
Not a lot you can do, imho. Except when you win, you deserved it.
Wilyer, I guess?
He went 0-4. Boo this man? (Do not boo this man. He faced Zack Wheeler.)
