There is legit bad blood between the Red Sox and Rays. For Boston fans of a certain age, I bet it is more emotional than seeing the Yankees.
And that is good for baseball.

@sullybaseball Sunday Req. Thurs, Anthony Rizzo bunted twice at shift for hits. Fair game or cheap hits?
— Battleaxe (@shawnohare1) May 17, 2014
The glib answer I can give to the question is “Both!”
A cheap hit is fair game. If a team is willing to concede a hit, then it is imperative to take it. Is it cheap to accept an intentional walk?
That and the opening of Star Wars on today’s episode.
