Edwin Encarnacion just dropped a 2-out 2-strike game tying homer against John Papelbon at the Great American Ball Park. This was a fantastic AB. Encarnacion fouled off several pitches, kept fighting, and eventually tattooed a pitched into let to tie the game. This wasn't a cheap HR off a tired Papelbon, Encarnacion saw several tough two-strike pitches and was able to foul them off. This is why baseball is the greatest sport ever. There was no time winding down, no clock to contend with, just Encarnacion vs Papelbon. Scrumtrulescent.
This almost made it ok that Fox decided to show me Reds/Red Sox and not Tigers/Dodgers.
More from this game as it pans out.
Update 6:50 pm Youklis solo shot in the 10th inning with one out. By the time I finished writing this sentence your favorite breakfast cereal (Coco Crisp) went back to back jacks. 6-4 Sox. I love this game.
