Generally speaking, I haven’t really noticed the lack of fans as much as others have seemed to. Obviously there are periodic reminders of the empty seats, but for the most part I’ve noticed the baseball more than the empty seats. On Sunday, I really missed the crowd ambience for the first time, as we saw our first walk off of the season at Fenway. Nathan Eovaldi put forth a really solid start with ten strikeouts and no walks for the home team, but the offense once again struggled to get going. They did get a couple homers in the earlier parts of the game — one from Mitch Moreland and one from Rafael Devers — but the big blast came in the ninth.
