Then there is what the Red Sox did in the eighth inning. Already up 8-2,
Boston got a leadoff single from Jacoby Ellsbury, who promptly stole second
base and then scored on a single by Shane Victorino. Witn Dustin Pedroia
batting, Victorino took off, and went first-to-third on a single. The Red Sox
wound up getting four runs in the inning to turn a blowout into a laugher.
八局紅襪8:2大幅領先時 又盜壘又提前起跑的 再多添了四分
把大幅落後的光芒徹底打爆
When the Red Sox started the bottom of the eighth inning up 8-2, their win
expectancy was 99.7 percent. That is not 100 percent, and a team that had a
99.78 percent chance of making the playoffs in September 2011 before
collapsing down the stretch should know better than to take anything for
granted. And if the Rays are embarrassed by the Red Sox running up the score
and putting the game further out of reach?

光芒有因為紅襪持續衝撞本壘而感到被羞辱嗎?
"If we are, it's our fault," said Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon. "You look for
the same opportunities, for them to arise, for you to do the same thing in
return, if you can. But I don't play that game. I don't believe in that
stuff. I know that's something that was written, I think, in 19-ought-eight,
and it's supposed to be adhered to the rest of your life. ... The old-school
rules that were written were when singles were the norm and homers were not.
There's a lot of the game that people get upset about, and part of it is the
phrase that 'they are trying to embarrass us.' If they did, that was our
fault. Entirely our fault. If you get embarrassed in the game, I blame it on
me, us. The accountability lies with the Rays, not the Red Sox doing their
job. The object of the game is to score runs, and that's what they were
doing.
