For those who watch SportsCenter and/or the game last nigth, Manny doesn't make that catch, Manny doesn't leg out a triple and Manny doesn't look right in blue.

Bay is awesome, I am so happy they got him! He was my favorite guy on the Pirates, and now one of them on the Sox

Thats exactly what I was thinking as I was watching highlights. With Manny Boston doesn't win that game. BTW since becoming a Red Sox Bay has scored 100 % of Boston's runs.

I agree...what a stud. Yastremski reincarnated!! Fields like Mays.....if only he ran like Gardner!

Been a fan of him for a while. Very happy he's here. Now to get my number 44 jersey. It can sit next to my Pedroia World Series and my Fisk jerseys.

Thats exactly what I was thinking as I watched that game. I saw a ton of things Bay did in that game that Manny wouldn't/couldn't. The catch he made (though Manny probably would've been playing shallower and wouldn't have HAD to make that catch), the triple, when Drew hit that double in the second inning, I don't think Manny would've tried to go to third on that and Drew would've been stuck with a single.

Very fundamentally sound and just all-around talented player, as he has always been now hes just showcasing it on a bigger stage.
