2021 Game Ninety-Eight: Red Sox 4, Blue Jays 1 (F/7)

 

I don't know why this picture makes me hear
 a Jon Miller call of "safe!" specifically; but it does

Steven Matz was just sort of okay, and the Blue Jays bats never really got it together, but a neat thing that happened was Jarren Duran kind of hitting an inside-the-park-home run, only not quite (that part is less neat). I was honestly pretty surprised that they charged George Springer with an error on this play (not that it really hurts Springer; it hurts Duran): Duran ripped the ball into the gap, it rolled to the wall, was dropped for a sec and rolled like no more than like two feet by Springer, who made a good throw to Espinal, who made a good throw home. Does this look like a triple and an error to you? The top reply to that linked video reads "WHERE THE FUCK IS THE OFFICIAL SCORER I JUST WANT TO TALK" and those are my thoughts as well only dialed up a little bit. Weird!
