To watch baseball in any capacity on Friday felt like a 1976 hit single by Thin Lizzy, because the boys were back in town! Unfortunately, the result of watching baseball was the Red Sox snapping a ten-game-win streak following the All-Star break, as I match sentiments of Jake Roy and Brian Joyner that we should just, like, play through the break, right?
As it turns out, the minor leaguers also had some difficulty returning, as they went 1-3, requiring a ninth-inning go-ahead home run to avoid a winless Friday night. Plus, David Hamilton and Kristian Campbell must feel like Paul Rudd next to Hot Ones host and generationally good interviewer Sean Evans (video below for those unfamiliar) playing at Polar Park in the same infield in the farm system again, because they turned not one, but two, double plays.
