Chad Tracy’s controversial call to pull Payton Tolle backfired for Red Sox in horrific fashion in Game 1 blowout

Payton Tolle had just retired Paul Goldschmidt for the third time on one pitch, running his pitch count to a manageable 83 with two outs in the fifth inning Tuesday, when Chad Tracy decided he’d seen enough. With Boston trailing by one run and Ben Rice, who doubled in the first inning, due up next, the manager opted to remove his pitcher who had settled into the pitching duel by that point. And it backfired in horrible fashion for Boston.
