I’m not keeping up with the baseball playoffs, but this seems like a load of shite.
According to dictionary.com, trounce means to beat severely. 4 runs does not a trounce make. Now, the score from their first match up where the Indians scored 12 runs to the 3 runs the Yankees mustered seems a lot more like a trounce.
I suggest the Times editorial staff look up the word bias and take a note.
Hear hear! Bias is the name of the game in this series.
