2/22 vs Tampa Bay Rays

[mvp 78]

For Rusney, just go look at all of his PAWSOX photos since 2017. He's not slender like you'd think.

[jung]

He's always been thicc though. He's not a skinny guy.

 

Well now Rusney is thick with a roll and he has learned NOTHING!

No worries, won't be seeing him in anything but a PawSox uniform anyway.

For a guy who will never play for the BOSOX, people on here have obsessed over him for too long. He doesn't impact the CBT. He isn't in the way of any prospects. Who cares?

jung cares. jung also cares if JBJ strikes out in his first at-bat in a spring game.

 

He's just a caring guy...

Devers struck out 5 OUT OF 6 TIMES against ERod in a SIMULATED GAME!!! DFA NOW!!!!!!

@PeteAbe

Tanner Houck put three men on base over two innings but held a solid Rays lineup scoreless for two innings.

 

I actually remembered to record this one.

[mvp 78]

@alexspeier

(Eovaldi) recorded all three outs by strikeout in his second and presumably final inning of work, mixing in a good number of sliders. Two innings, two singles, four strikeouts, no runs.

Bloom already making an impact on our pitching staff.

@redsoxstats

Duran just tagged up going from 2nd to 3rd on a line drive right at the left fielder.

And he took a hit off his foot -- 6 weeks on the DL?

Duran is continuing to impress me.

Really fast.....Will be worth watching him grow as a player.

[mvp 78]

Rewatching the Rays game. Sox k’d 9 times the first 4 innings. Woof.

launch angle!

[mvp 78]

Pawlecki showed off a good arm at C.

 

Tagging on a liner to LF really showed Duran’s speed. That’s why I wondered if his upside this year is 2007 Ellsbury.

TOM Eshelman pitching for O's. Weird because Vaughn Eshelman's name came up recently and Tom appears to be the only other MLB player by that name, but no relation to Vaughn.

Dalbec gave $200 to Houck to switch seats on a flight going to Japan. Houck used that money to buy samurai swords.

hahahaha. f***ing awesome story. i love it. maybe remy can have the samarai sword up in the booth instead of the stupid wally doll...

[Bellhorn04]

Ricky Vaughn

 

To clarify: only two players with last name Eshelman in MLB history.

Thought they stopped doing that?

I brought it up sarcastically saying that Bloom had signed him. I got a chuckle when I saw the starting opposing pitcher today.

There was also a pitcher named Pete Eshelman, who pitched for one year in the Yankee farm system before being derailed by an injury. Pete later moved to Massachusetts and took a job working with my father. When I sustained my own baseball injury (taking a ball squarely in the eye socket), my dad told Pete, who then presented me with a baseball autographed by Mike Heath (valued today at the cost of a used baseball with graffiti on it)...

And then he promptly forced Dalbec to relinquish his seat at sword point...
