How many of you played youth baseball & had a coach that said "if the ball hits your glove, you should catch it?" I did. The Angels outfielders probably heard that line from Mike Scioscia after last night's loss to the Sox 4-3.
All 3 outfielders for the Angels misplayed balls that led to 3 of 4 Red Sox runs. These miscues extended innings & helped get Dan Haren's pitch count up & off the field after 6 innings. Lady luck is turning in the Sox direction. Look at the safe call at third base on Saltie last night.
We can accurately say that the Sox have won 2 in a row in Anaheim. Maybe the better statement is the Angels have thrown away 2 games. A clean game by the outfield last night & one non-miscue on the bases on Thursday & maybe the Angels win the first 2 games. That's why baseball is a funny game & why you play the games.
By virtue of 2 wins the Sox can do no less than split in Anaheim. Every win gets this team closer to the elusive .500 mark. I'm hoping we can get to 13-13 by end of April.
