And thats why you cannot walk David Ortiz in extra innings at Fenway folks. In today’s game versus the Orioles, Baltimore “unintentionally” walked David Ortiz in the bottom of the 10th inning to put two men on with the score tied 7-7. It was Manny Ramirez who delivered this time hitting a single to drive in Kapler from second base(who was originally held but scored on a booted ball in the outfield). This hit not only scored the winning run but it kept Manny’s consecutive game hit streak alive which now stands at 27.
I can only imagine what Fenway was like when Papi got up with the winning run on first in the bottom of the tenth. Even though it was just a single by Manny, this just adds to my argument of why you can’t walk Ortiz in situations like this(although I probably would if I were a manager). And thats why they’re the best 3-4 in baseball folks.
All Important Homestand Record: 2-0
