PCA became the 10th player in MLB history to go 30/30 in consecutive years.

Looking forward to next year, the entire list of players who went 30/30 in three consecutive years is:

Barry Bonds.

PCA is next level. If you're the Sox, why in the world wouldn't you put him on 1st???? Is there literally one good reason?

The young pitcher for the Sox had something like 6 walks in the 3 games (4.2 innings) he has pitched.

That makes sense. If you put him on, the pressure is there to throw strikes and that can snowball.

I imagine that Venable was thinking get PCA(left on left), walk Seiya and set up the DP, then face Busch(left on left).

I suppose neither choice was a good one.

I wouldn’t call that a must win, but that was a must win.
