editor of sport website dead spin. gentlemen, good morning. good morning. wow, quick response. it was a quick response. look how happy they are. so, mike, unbelievable ending to boston these games. first, in the over 100 year history series last night no difference. what a move by koji uehara to first base. staggering back-to-back endings, staggering. the controversial play that will live in history saturday night. last night a run picked up on first. i have no idea how the game will end tonight. but we can only guess. inside the park home run. let s talk quickly about a guy who has been forgotten. clay buchholtz had one of the gutsiest performances. he couldn t pitch the ball over 86 miles per hour but he was putting them where they needed to be put. i don t know whether will will agree with me.
what? maybe we should just develop our own players, let them go to free agency at one point or another, stop trying to sign guys up with 10, 12 year contracts because it doesn t work. back to the red sox for a second. it fascinates me when you take a team that s basically the same, arguably less talented than a year ago, you swach manager and they switch more than that and you gate change in the culture and, obviously, the performance, what is the difference if you can single one or two things out going from the worst team in baseball to the best team in baseball? the depth is much greater. their model is like oakland s just have as many good players. have more players creating match-ups which they can do especially in september. the biggest thing with them really is the pitching. jon lester turned it around. clay buchholtz was healthy. john lackey got healthy again. they had this guy, uehara now
