Not saying they should be annoyed -- I just don't even understand why Deadspin thinks the Sox were doing something wrong. Because batters were swinging at the first pitch? Really?

The Sox did nothing wrong, just showed no class. Like I mentioned the Yankees showed. Or in 1968 Mickey Mantle is at bat for the final time in his career. Denny McClain is pitching- 31 game winner that year, Mick knows he has no chance. But Denny groves a big pitch straight down the middle. Mick takes it for strike 1. Looks at Denny, who nods and gives the exact same pitch. Last HR of Mick’s career.
Tigers and Yankees classy. Red Sox?
