entertainingly enough, i was at the pawtucket game tonight, as my boston ticket connection fell through. 😛
tankersley looked flat-out awful: at one point early in the 4th, he had given up 9 hits and 3 walks, but only 1 run, which almost seems mathematically impossible. he had a near-balk that was not called in the 2nd, but that’s okay, because he made sure to balk more noticeably in the 5th.
