00:00Say Donna Raffaella, the walk-off blast for Boston yesterday

00:05as the Sox avoid a sweep against the Angels.

00:08And I say blast with emphasis, kind of from a joking perspective.

00:13308 feet right around Pesky Pole, curving it in there in right field.

00:18The Red Sox win 11 to 9, walking it off at Fenway in the home half of the ninth.

00:23That 308-foot walk-off home run, the shortest recorded walk-off homer

00:29in MLB history.

00:30Yeah, I sent out a tweet yesterday that that would have probably been

00:33in the upper deck in Yankee Stadium had that ball been hit there

00:35because of a clown show.

00:37How do we have two clown show sort of ballparks in the same division there,

00:41two historic stadiums if you want to just call Yankee Stadium historic

00:44because it just has the name Yankee Stadium,

00:46but the other stadium was actually better than the new stadium.

00:48How about that?

00:49I hope Boston never changes because I do like that quirk, but come on now.

00:52A home run there.

00:53And if you even heard the telecast on the call, it's like ball hit down the line

00:56and home run.

00:59Wow.

00:59Like, what happened here on that play?

01:01Like, everybody was baffled by that.

01:03But also, Ben, we talked about the handicap yesterday.

01:05I didn't necessarily like the game, but the weather conditions were as good

01:08as you're going to get in Boston.

01:1080 degrees with the wind blowing out the center field.

01:12Forget about the batters.

01:13Forget about the pitchers.

01:14You got 20 total runs yesterday because of how good that environment was.

01:18Look at 7 of 11 with runners in scoring position for the Angels,

01:216 of 14 for the Red Sox, man.

01:23That is a dream when you're taking RBI props and certainly team totals.
