The Boston Red Sox concluded their four-game series with the Athletics on Thursday evening with a 5-4 win. Boston took three of four from the A’s, and will now head to Los Angeles for a 3-game weekend series with the Los Angeles Dodgers (in LA) in what is sure to be an exciting series.

However, in the series finale against the Athletics, Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran couldn’t keep his name out of MLB storylines after his in-game antics.

I’ll let the series of posts describe the viral moment regarding Jarren Duran in the Red Sox-Athletics game on Thursday.

You be the judge if Jarren Duran is in the wrong during this moment in the Red Sox game.

Jarren Duran is seemingly upset at Willson Contreras for not tagging up on a fly ball to shallow left field in the top of the sixth inning, while the Red Sox-Athletics game was tied 3-3. Well, the really interesting part about this moment is how it will go over with Willson Contreras, who also plays with his emotions on his sleeve but is notably a slow runner as well.




@tylermilliken_ then wrote (about Chad Tracy’s postgame comments):

“Chad Tracy says Jarren Duran was just mad at himself during that moment on the field. Don’t know how many people are going to believe that.”
I am no lip reader, but it appears like Jarren Duran mouths ‘run’ to Contreras after the out is recorded.
