“Tony, Eaton’s sac bunt lowered your team’s Win Expectancy by .5%. Collins’ was -2.9% and Hamilton’s -3.5%. You lead the league in sac bunting.
Why did you choose to make your team 6.9% less likely to win today, and why do you do so consistently?”

This legit pissed me off. This was formerly named Loretta’s Lounge after Loretta Micele. She worked concessions for the Sox for 60 years. They dedicated it to her during the 2005 World Series. She gave so much to the organization and replacing her name to that of TLR is shameful. pic.twitter.com/mecpWbTMoU

At least it didn’t become Loretto’s Lounge. https://t.co/qDo5brX7zv
