C'mon, now. We've been all over Saltie & Crawford, but both contributed to a big win last night in Baltimore.
Saltie hit a big single with the bases loaded to give the Sox an insurance run, making the score 4-2. If anyone other than Ortiz was running at second, it would have been a 2-run single. And unlike Varitek the night before, who just could not catch the ball cleanly, Saltie caught a good game. I will say I'm not a fan of his double pump before he throws the ball with someone running on base. Just let it fly.
Crawford missed a grand slam by about 10 feet in his at-bat before leading off with a double in the 8th. He scored what would be the winning run on an infield chop by Pedroia. And did I mention that he has covered a lot of ground in left-field.
This second homestand of the season should find both players more relaxed. With the teams coming in - Seattle, LA & Minnesota - we can use them both to make a push towards & over the .500 mark.
