The Sox are in red today, a throw back sunday.

Calls like that make it hard for Altuve to become more selective.

Altuve can't hear apparently as Maxwell clearly called him off. I'm just glad that no one got hurt.

Some might be inclined to wonder how a guy at age 36 can hit .080 points higher than his career average, (hell, he is at career highs in SLG, OPS, all that stuff). That's kind of a "Bondsian" late career surge. Not saying anything, just comparing.
