The Red Sox start the bottom of the first with a single by Mookie Betts and an RBI rocket double down the rightfield line by Rafael Devers. The Red Sox strike quickly to cut the Yankees lead to 6-1. It seems the batters are seeing the ball really well and hitting it hard.
Update: The Red Sox load the bases with none out, score two runs and make two outs, then Michael Chavis hits a game tying three-run homer well over the centerfield fence. The game is tied at six in the bottom of the first, and Masahiro Tanaka joins Rick Porcello on the bench after neither starter gets out of the first inning.
Update: It’s 6-6 at the end of one. I suspect the time change going east took it’s toll on the pitchers. It also looks like the artificial surface is really fast, so balls are shooting through the infield. Then again, batters are hitting the ball really hard.
There’s something weird going on, but I don’t see how it could be the time change. Why would that be a bigger deal for pitchers than for hitters?
Is there a lighting issue? It’s surely not an atmospheric issue.
The Freeze lost, so maybe it is the time change.
Maybe going west it will affect the batters!
The one time I visited London I was discombobulated for two days.
So I guess you must be a pitcher, not a batter.
