I was in attendance for Friday night’s game at Fenway, and the feel in the stadium was one of indifference. The crowd was mostly disinterested, apart from the late rally in the eighth inning. The Red Sox hitters were also mostly disinterested, as they failed to work counts as Touki Toussaint threw 92 pitches in six and a third innings. Of course, the results of the games don’t matter and you can’t blame the players for a lack of complete focus, but the stats do matter, particularly for potential free agents and arbitration cases. Still, Toussaint made quick work of the Red Sox for six innings before running into some trouble in the seventh.
