Thanks to its afternoon timing, I only managed to catch an inning of this game, the 6th, but I suppose I got lucky in choosing the best possible inning to watch. Hanley Ramirez’s triple play was awesome, can’t remember the last one I saw. That’s the kind of play that makes people sit up and take notice of a prospect, although of course every Sox fan should already know about Hanley by now.
“As soon as we got the third out, [Youklis] came to me on the bench, threw the ball to me and gave me a hug,” said Ramirez.
Oh dear. Will the Sox demand the ball back?
And the 4-run bottom of the 6th was good too - Petagine looks like he has a nice stroke, sweet swing he had for that 2-run single.
