Inter-League Play? Ehhh
Joe Torre doesn’t much care for it, and I’m not so sure I’m a fan of it either. But, it seems MLB likes inter-league play so the Red Sox are in Philadephia to face the Phillies.
That means a few things. First, Youk will be sitting as Ortiz will grab the mit for first base because there are no designated hitters in the National league rules. Second, Trot Nixon will lead off — interesting. Third, I just don’t like it.
Clement will have an at bat or two, maybe even three if things go well. I’m sure it will be interesting series, nonetheless. All in all, the Sox should be able to grab 2 of 3 from the Philly.
