Opening the Rule Book + Dodgers' Dip with Alanna Rizzo

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker look back on the Toronto Blue Jays' series-opening win over the Boston Red Sox, and they discuss the strange 'fourth out' rule at the end of the seventh inning. They look back on the controversial play, break down the rarely applied rule, and discuss the clutch performances from Andrés Giménez, Brandon Valenzuela, and Louis Varland. NESN analyst and host of 'Dodgers Territory' Alanna Rizzo (2:20) joins the show to discuss what sparked the Red Sox's mid-season turnaround, whether they're peaking too soon, what Adley Rutschman brings to Boston ahead of his potential debut, and what's happened to the suddenly slumping Dodgers.
