GAME #108 - FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 2022 - BOSTON RED SOX @ KANSAS CITY ROYALS

Duran with a 2-run double. Sweet. Sox up 7-1.

They fans really love Hosmer. He got a round of applause last night and again tonight.

He was one of many stars on that 2015 team.  Seems like a good guy too.

And totally off topic but on one my hiking groups someone had been to Curt Gowdy State Park in WY.  The former Red Sox announcer and outdoorsman was a native of WY and a favorite son.  Looks like a great park too.  I knew he was an outdoorsman and remember him doing those kinds of shows too but never knew he was honored like that.

Would some one please explain why Red Sox relievers with a six run lead walk the leadoff batter.

Davis is trying to make this a close game. I hope Cora has someone else warming up.

I'm watching the Royals broadcast and they just posted that the Sox have blown the lead late in the game 25 times this season.

Interesting, Ted.  I stopped in Cheyenne on a trip out west. We asked who is famous out here?  A guy said Curt Gowdy.  We asked anybody else? He said “just Curt Gowdy.”

Wow! Combine that with the middle of the order RBI funk and the starting rotation injuries and it's a wonder we're in contention at all.

There's nothing I can find on it, but has anyone seen if Duran missed a hit and run sign with Yolmer on first?
