Gabe Kapler injured. I can’t say that I’ve ever seen someone injured on a home run trot. Achilles tendon, OUCH. Again going to show that whether a player looks fit may not relate to his tendency for injury. Or sheer bad luck. Next time I’d prefer a home run trot rather than running hard around the bases. Screw appearing bush league.
Kevin Millar now becomes Trot Nixon’s regular platoon partner? Boy the number of twists and turns this season’s taken is strange.
Otherwise, this is one of those nice Sox wins that you just take for granted. Offense from Ortiz, natch. Was there any doubt that he would one day set the home run record for DHs? Well, there you go.
In my current MVP Baseball game, David Wells is pitching for the Sox with a .500 record even though he has a sub-1.00 ERA. In real life, he’s had a lot more wins for the Sox without pitching for the Cy, and I’ll take that, thanks. That curveball motion of his has such an easy motion when it’s working.
