Big Papi Needs to Run

OK, it's the 6th inning & we are in a rain delay with the Marlins leading 2-1. Still anyone's game.

Again tonight, we see David Ortiz not running out a pop-up that gets misplayed. Instead of being on 2nd base, he's on 1st. In a tight game you do not concede any bases. Run out all of your hits, it's basic baseball.

I'm tired of seeing the old Manny routine from Ortiz. It's time for Tito to say something.

I agree. I heard a few folks griping about the fairness of losing a rain-shortened game. The Sox have no one to blame but themselves. They were up against a pitcher with a 7+ ERA, and could only muster 1 hit in 3 innings. They are normally a disciplined hitting team, but some of the balls they were swinging at were ridiculous. SB
