Top fan take from @jacksauer2: “I love baseball. Runner on 3rd. 6-5 ballgame. 3-2 count. 2 outs. 9th inning. Power hitter Oneil Cruz at the plate with a chance to take the lead with one swing. But instead of a crazy home run, diving catch, or nasty strikeout, just a simple ball 4 in the dirt. But then, the next batter, the one you would less expect to step up, Spencer Horwitz, drills a 𝓒𝓝𝓟𝓞𝓗 (𝓒𝓮𝓻𝓽𝓲𝓯𝓲𝓮𝓭 𝓝𝓲𝓬𝓮 𝓟𝓲𝓮𝓬𝓮 𝓸𝓯 𝓗𝓲𝓽𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓰) into left field to tie the game at 6-6 after pinch hitting for former Sox minor leaguer Jhostynxon Garcia. The Password is just such a goated nickname I can’t lie. And then Gregory Soto, who I hoped the Red Sox would sign in the offseason, struck out the side to send it to extras. And that’s where I turned it off to fully focus on the absolutely craziness happening in Madison Square Garden.”
