COMMENTARY
Credit to NESN for not using the four-day All-Star break to air two dozen replays of the Ceddanne Rafaela Walkoff Game. Would’ve been an easy call. The moment this hot streak became more than just kicking around National League chaff. The cherry on a 10-win sundae.
I’m trying not to be too wet a blanket here, given both the humidity and this year’s efficiency at obliterating joy. The thing the Red Sox had cooking to end last weekend does smell unmistakably like last summer, though, when Jarren Duran’s team went 10-3 into him winning All-Star MVP in Texas after a young(er) Roman Anthony won the skills showcase at the Futures Game.
