“So, I was saying before that, on a 10-1 score, Benintendi took off and ran, stole a base. I found that unusual, but, you know, you can still keep pushing the envelope,” Darling said, really starting to get warm. “But boy, swinging 3-0 in the seventh, with a 10-1 lead … there used to be a book. There’s no book anymore. Everything’s gray. But I would find that offensive. Personally.”

Darling added that he’s a big fan of “letting the kids play,” as Ken Griffey Jr. demanded in a playoff ad that debuted last week. He even said he loves bat flips, in a true “how do you do, fellow kids?” moment. He simply said, that “you have to judge for yourself, if you feel like rubbing it in starts to rub you the wrong way.”

1. Its against your most hated rival
2. ITS THE PLAYOFFS
3. Its the offenses job to score
4. There is no such thing as running up the score
5. The Yankees line up is perfectly capable of coming back no matter how much they are down by.
6. He is NUTS!!

I actually thought that commercial was stupid.

Have a little class.

Who should have more class? Me? Darling? The Ad?

the message of the ad.

it's fine to be pumped.

it's another thing to be a showboating dick.

Apparently Darling disagrees. Unless you are the Red Sox "running up" the score

Meh. Darling wasn't over the top with it. Guess he had a problem swinging on 3-0, but whatever. If the Yankees agree to not try to score any more runs I'm sure the Sox would agree not to steal or swing 3-0. Swinging 3-0 usually screws the batter anyway.

Swinging 3-0 ... doesn't bother me. Pitchers need to throw more strikes.
Stealing a base up by 10 runs doesn't bother me.
If the runner gets his hand hacked by a set of spikes because he thought he needed a stolen base, doesn't bother me.
