Bottom 6

Laffey's still in. He's done well.
Papi takes strike 1. And swings at strike two, off the plate inside. And Laffey drops down sidearm and slings one for a called third strike. One out.
Ball one to Manny. Manny tries to emasculate DeMarlo Hale with a foul, 1-1. Vin Scully's right--all base coaches should be in helmets, although that wouldn't have done anything for DeMarlo there. Ball two. And three. Manny grounds to Blake for the second out.
Really, most of the men coaching the bases are in their late 40's, 50's and 60's. Not at the peak of their reflexes, and they are looking in other directions. Put helmets on them!
Ball to Lowell. And Mike rips one off the wall for a long single.
Drew fouls off the first pitch. And takes the second for a ball. Another of those sidearm deliveries for a called strike two. JD swings and strikes out.
Wedge might should have busted Laffey out of his bullpen earlier.
10-1 Sox after 6.
