He wasn't trying to get a hit or put the ball in play, he was practicing "staying alive". I was thinking . . . "You've have problems early in the season on a regular basis lately and you're out here trying to NOT get a hit". He's always been a head case.

A total of 25 pitches thrown by both pitchers for the first two innings. I'm not sure that I've ever seen that before.

Jack Mayfield has never played Left Field in his life, started tonight in LF in Fenway of all places, 2nd pitch was a line drive right at him, which is always very hard to read. Got a good laugh out of Trout and company.

Yep

Remember that dumbass half swing uppercut he used to do between pitches ? I never could figure out what the benefit of that was supposed to be ? Teach yourself how not to swing a baseball bat ?
