Michael Kay with an interesting scoop that changes this entire story:
Jazz didn’t steal to pad his stats. Aaron Boone told him to steal, because it wasn’t a blowout yet. The Yankees were up by 6 runs at the time, and so there was still a chance they’d have to use Bednar in the 9th.
Kay: “Jazz walks to start the 8th inning. As he's running down to first base, Boone shuts Jazz down, says he's not allowed to steal. But then Boone sees that the Red Sox infield is playing behind Jazz. So Boone yells to the Red Sox dugout, ‘No no no, you can't have it both ways. You either hold him on and we won't run, or if you're gonna not hold him on, we are gonna run.’ Red Sox manager] Chad Tracy didn't react. So the Red Sox first baseman still plays behind Jazz. So Boone says, Go steal. And Boone's reasoning is this: I am two batters away in the ninth inning from having to bring in David Bednar. That run is important. If you're gonna hold me on, then fine I won't run. But you can't have it both ways. I would not have Jazz steal if they were holding him on. But I am not going to give up on a free run, which might stop me from bringing in Bednar."
@Hogdale_ Out of respect for your brand of fandom and all you’ve done (big fan), I will not slander you Hogdale. But you are not correct here. The ball hits the glove first, yes, there’s separation, yes BUT when he rotates the glove, the ball is seen rolling on grass. Be well my friend
@Courtmilbrett@WillFlemming It was tough, but that is completely irrelevant lol I’m talking broadcasters, Pedro backed up his shit talk at least by being an animal on the mound. Still a ballplayer
🚨🗣 Egypt's Coach Hossam Hassan couldn't control himself after full-time:
"I will say what's on my mind regardless of the consequence, this was clearly a rigged match and the whole world saw it"
"And I want to say one more thing, if they want them [Argentina] to win so bad, why call everyone to come and participate?"
🚨 Didier Drogba on Enzo Fernandez’s agent Javier Pastore saying: "We're looking at possibilities for him to leave Chelsea, but there's nothing firm or confirmed with any club."*
"So now Enzo’s agent is talking about leaving Chelsea. Looking at options. Nothing concrete yet.”
"Funny. This is the same Enzo Fernandez who used to bully Mason Mount every time Chelsea played Manchester United. He acted like Mount was the snake. Now he’s doing the exact same thing.”
"I don’t blame the player alone. But if I was coach, if I was running the club? Enzo goes to the U21s until he finds a club willing to pay 120m. Or until he buys himself out.”
"Because this is the trend now. Players come to Chelsea, use it as a shop window, then start looking for the next big team. The moment things get tough, they want out.”
"Enzo is acting like he wasn’t part of Chelsea’s problems. He played almost every game. He would have a shambolic performance, then hide behind a goal or an assist and make it look fine.”
"Good luck to him finding that team. But Chelsea is not a stepping stone. 🔵”
Moises Caicedo had a young fan so desperate to meet him and get a photo with him.
Security didn't allow it, Moi is the star of Ecuadorian football, he's the Captain as well.
