    Just my hunch…I don’t typically think along the lines of team leadership…I’m usually a couple weeks ahead of them

    There is intelligent aggressive base-running by Fairchild.

    Can you imagine how bad Hurtubise would be playing Benson’s role? Can you have a negative SLG? Is that possible? Can you owe bases?

    We didn't need slugging on any of Benson's ABs with 2 out and runners in scoring position. Reds only runners that were in scoring position with 2 out were the 3 that Benson left die there. Sox have stranded in scoring position, four guys with one each.

    Really good point. 100% correct.
