COMMENTARY

Big seasons can turn on little moments.

If Tyler O’Neill catches Trent Grisham’s game-tying, two-strike, two-out double in the ninth inning of Saturday’s game, the Red Sox win their series against the Yankees instead of losing it. New York does not get to claim a “statement weekend,” as the New York Post called it Monday morning, and still has just one series win since their Fenway visit in mid-June.

Could O’Neill have caught it? Sure. Should he have?

“It hit high off the wall,” the slugger told reporters on Saturday night.
