"Well that was a wild Labor Day game. The starters didn't have it, Big Christmas couldn't catch it, Trevor Story couldn't NOT hit it, and the Sox came out on top. Again. Even when he makes an out he hits it hard. It's real and it's spectacular. Yet another three-hit game, including one of the stranger home runs you'll ever see."
"Some truly bad shit today. First and funniest, Middlebrooks called Obie "Don" early in the game. It happened very fast but I caught it. Second, Obie scraped into lowest-common-denominator "Well shoot, ya know those stat guys don't think RBIs matter, whaddya think, former player" bag, and it's so dumb, even if Middlebrooks explained why it might actually matter (situational adjustments for runners on base)."
A wild Labor Day game ended with the Sox winning again. The starters did not have it, Big Christmas failed to catch a ball, and Trevor Story continued an unstoppable hitting streak. Story produced another three-hit game, including an unusually strange home run. Carlos Narvaez delivered a two-run pinch-hit single, Nate Eaton recorded two hits, and most of the lineup contributed (Alex Bregman was 1-5 but his lone hit was smoked). A starter allowed 3 earned runs in 5 innings. Broadcast errors and miscalls, including Middlebrooks calling Obie "Don" and commentators missing a home run live, drew sharp criticism.
