    I would be willing to bet that if you took away Gomez's bunt singles this year, he would be very close to a .100 average.

    Fields like they're are on thin ice sending Feldman back out there.

    I suppose this is the anti-robotic managing from Hinch?

    once again, has anybody ever seen a game that was played in 9 innings of rain without being suspended?

    i honestly didn't know that was possible/allowed. i've definitely never seen anything close to it, and i've watched a sizable amount of baseball in my day.

    There were some games in old Candlestick... and Cleveland when they used to play in the old municipal... that just seemed like it was persistently wet and drizzling the entire time.

    It really ins't raining all that hard or much... even in the 2nd inning where it looked terrible.

    Glad it worked out vs Ortiz.

    Here comes Giles... he has the talent to shine right now, but will he....

    Awesome comeback, too. Pleasantly surprised

    If Giles can shine in this situation... it could go a long way.

    warm up the Giles thread!

    Umps call it worse in the rain too? I think it fooled even Hanley.

    Ump missed that ball-1 call. Very close pitch, but missed it

    Giles can overcome it though.

    Hinch is a moron. Whip Giles? Why?

    Worst thing you can do to a pitcher that is struggling with confidence is squeeze him.

    Red Sox will take advantage here.

    At least Giles didn't **** that up. Came in walking the first batter again though which isn't good.

    Actually thought he spotted his fastballs well, but the ump had his head up his ass.
