It was quite a moment of hilarity and schadenfreude when back on July 22nd, the Red Sox allowed a inside-the-park grand slam as part of a 28-5 loss to the Blue Jays. If you somehow haven’t seen the play, it was a fairly ridiculous sequence that involved a pretty bad defensive mix up.
As funny as it was, the play didn’t end up being that consequential. It took the score from 6-0 to 10-0 in a game where the final score ended up in weird football game territory. Sure, that loss helped put some nails in the coffin of the Red Sox contending chances, but it didn’t exactly swing that particular game.
