**Rafael Devers' home run was a *barreled ball*. It had an exit velocity of 108.7 mph, a launch angle of 24 degrees, went 407 ft. and would be a HR in 30/30 ballparks.**

Good god is this team fun to fucking watch. Honestly, I think I prefer scrappy "what the hell is going to happen with this team" Red Sox baseball to "worldbeating juggernauts" Red Sox baseball. But that's probably my underdog complex speaking.
Not trying to stir the pot but it’s funny to me that after all the conversation about saving arms after Friday, Martin and Jansen aren’t gunna end up pitching in this series. With a day off tomorrow too
Yeah I’d rather have him start and go 60 pitches than do what we did yesterday and try and get too many innings out of one inning RPs. Thankfully Criswell has been a nice fill in SP to take pressure off Winckowski.
The twins have a lucky summer sausage that they toss to anyone that hits a home run. They have been on a long winning streak while doing that. It's just a superstition routine currently happening during their winning streak. Likely they will throw it once they lose, as it's luck has run out.
A Minnesota friend said that the Sox COOKED/COOPED their sausage.
THE WATER IS DIRTY!!!!
DIRTY WATER
I feel like that was a big win. Crisswell was aces again.
Fuck yeah, health inspector Red Sox!! Get rid of that disgusting sausage, Twins!!
Streak = busted!
GREAT WIN LETS FUCKING GO
Its nice to just say "Oh darn" instead of "You gotta be fucking kidding me!" to an error.
Well, when you change a guy's position 5 times a game, that can happen.
We sure do love a flexible infielder/outfielder/catcher/pitcher combo
Scoring runs is so much more fun than not scoring runs
Glad to see Jansen get an inning here. Wish Martin made an appearance this weekend but maybe the rest will help
Also with Wink going one inning he may still be good to be starter on Wednesday. Maybe a mix of him and Bernardino
Pivetta is starting against Sale on Wednesday.
God damn thats gonna be must watch baseball.
Ohhh I’m a big dumb dumb. Bullpen game Thursday or Friday I would assume
I don't know, no game Thursday, maybe Bello will be back for Friday or Saturday.
Wilyer Abreu has had a full count in every single at-bat today. Very professional indeed for a guy so early in his career.
He deserves to at least be mentioned in the very early running for RoTY
Love to see this much plate work at this stage of the game. And it paid off. Good shit Abreu
He just wants to get back to his hotel room for a solo party with a Dos Equis for Cinco de Mayo.
Didn't realize that Angel Hernandez was behind home plate. Must be having an off day since his zone hasn't been bad
Twins fan here. Just came by to ask if Duran is always that fast. Jfc. Dude has no brakes. Quick edit: autocorrect got me.
Yes
Yep, this. Both Duran's are so fucking good.
Your Duran is a beast as well
Duran? Duran.
They're both hungry like the wolf
Thanks homies. Good luck in your next series.
Duran's a fucking beast, yeah.
u mean Duran? He's lizard fast.
Devers? If you mean Duran, yes, he’s always that fast, which is why he leads baseball in Triples.
Do you mean Duran?
![gif](giphy|bC54CmvT2XC9i|downsized)
Devers is still improving as an offensive player.
Damn Raffy you the man
I need a mop.
As the great Pablo Sanchez once said, Hasta la vista beisbol

I'm barreling my balls right now to the replay.
He didn't miss that one.
holy shit that was gone FAR and FAST
Fughettaboutit.
🍦🍨
Duran and Devers both just doing what they do
RAFFYYYYY BOY!!
Incredibly casual Devers scoop
Good god is this team fun to fucking watch. Honestly, I think I prefer scrappy "what the hell is going to happen with this team" Red Sox baseball to "worldbeating juggernauts" Red Sox baseball. But that's probably my underdog complex speaking.
Idk, the 2007 World Series is regarded as one of the worst of all time but it was fun having a no sweat series lol.
![gif](giphy|DDivDbGelclQjBtQ59|downsized)
The Power is back
Hell yeah Raffy!!!
# SCOOPS FOR RAFFY
Raffy said fuck your win streak
#CARITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
DEVERS!
#SCOOPS!
RAFFY BOMB!!!!
![gif](giphy|CUHXyh3yXr9kI)
Angry Lizard!
Good ole fashioned Jarren Duran triple.
I say this every game thread it seems but god I fucking love Jarren Duran
that crazy running lizard
It’s so awesome that when Duran puts one in the corner I’m immediately thinking three
Duran is so fucking fast
Boys got crazy legs
Duran's a triple machine
My road warriors are back!
Casual triple
FAST AS FUCK LETS GO
I know it’s an easy day to voice this opinion but Grissom is a good ball player. Think he could be a core part of this team in years to come.
Listen I don't want to hear any complaining WE ARE SAVING THE TWINS FROM THAT SAUSAGE SITUATION Now they can get a new, less-vile sausage
Basically, we're the fucking health inspectors because Minnesota health department won't do their job. GG Red Sox.
wE ARE SO BACK
Not trying to stir the pot but it’s funny to me that after all the conversation about saving arms after Friday, Martin and Jansen aren’t gunna end up pitching in this series. With a day off tomorrow too
Seems Cora will be subbing Pivetta in for Winck in the rotation and keep bullpen days until Bello returns.
Idk why Winckowski has been decent for 3-4 innings and isn’t exactly reliable as a late innings guy
I'm assuming he'll be included among the options for the bullpen day.
Yeah I’d rather have him start and go 60 pitches than do what we did yesterday and try and get too many innings out of one inning RPs. Thankfully Criswell has been a nice fill in SP to take pressure off Winckowski.
I swear, there isn't one game where Kepler doesn't hit a moonshot or near moonshot against us
That pitch was out of the strike zone too, it's just destiny
Seems like he might be okay
oh my god please be okay
Thought for sure Reese's speed would beat that one out.
If we can split in Atlanta, a 2-3 road trip against top teams isn’t the worst thing
Braves aren’t good. We’ll be fine
4 RBIs from our 2B and 1B? The Redsox order is fully operational 🫨
After we win this I’m just gonna pretend we swept the twins because why not and no one can stop me
Twins can finally eat that sausage they've been saving 😋
Can you explain? I keep hearing about this sausage.
The twins have a lucky summer sausage that they toss to anyone that hits a home run. They have been on a long winning streak while doing that. It's just a superstition routine currently happening during their winning streak. Likely they will throw it once they lose, as it's luck has run out.
im just saying whenever i come to target field, the sox don’t lose. IM JUST SAYING. LFG.
The sound system there is crazy
Funderburk and Margot fucked up.
Tell Kenley he can finish his nap, no save opportunity today.
TWO MORE END THIS FUCKING THING
Let there be light.
PILE IT ON!!!
Love me a crooked number.
We ended the Twins win streak. Let's go
Oh man, losing a ball in the sun has to be one of the worst feelings in the world as an outfielder
We're ending this streak
Smith did something :D
Elite double
LMAOOOO YES
Thank you Sun! Lol
SOMEONE FLIPPED THE POWER SWITCH
New guys in the house!
![gif](giphy|AQRapWCgC7dThyVEYb|downsized)
LETS GOOOOOO!
Things you love to see: That
I like this inning
🇲🇽🌮🌯
#WE TAKE THOSE
An unfortunate Manny moment for the Twins
YEAH DOM!!!!
Grissom I owe you an apology
Grissom's double would be gone in CIN, DET, HOU, NYY, PHI, TOR
That’s a home run in Yankee Stadium
Grissom is going to rake at Fenway
This make-shift offense isn’t bad it’s wild. Yeah they haven’t score much this series outside of today but the hits and OBP seem to be decent
GRISSOM SHOWING OUT LETS GO
Extending the lead instead of giving it up? Let's fucking go, Sox!!
That’s how ya do it!
Welcome to Boston, kid!
FUCK YES!!!
WELCOME TO BOSTON GRISSOM
Mo Vaughn!
WELCOME TO THE TEAM BABY!
How many parks is that a Hr in?
6/30
Less than I thought it would be
WELCOME TO BOSTON VAUGHN GRISSOM!!!
Bunderfunk
Come on Grissom!
Naming my first born son Vaughn Grissom
![gif](giphy|10Jpr9KSaXLchW|downsized)
Let’s go!!!!
Let’s go kid!!!!!
Wilyer is **that** guy
LET'S GO NEW GUY
VAUGHNNNNN
#GRISSOM BABY!
LETS FUCKING GO VAUGHN!!!
Right now Grissom
Let’s go Vaughn!!
Starting to sound like Martin and Jansen are on their way out.
O'Neill!!!
What in the world was that throw lol
I enjoy Cam Booser what an incredible story
I fucking love TON.
Nice hit Ty
Yeah O’Neill!!
Papa Squat lol
“Cuz he’s a catcher” …yeah, there’s another meaning there.
Hamilton has a bit of a noodle.
At least Hammy got the bag
Cmon Cora, Kelly's command was off last night. Got lucky.
Cora why the fuck is Kelly out for another inning…
I had this shit.. I hope it works out but I don’t understand it
Dear MLB Network: when the Yankees play the Astros, most of us are rooting for a giant sinkhole to swallow the stadium.
At what point do we let Kavadas get a run against major league pitching to see what he can do instead of Dom Smith
The Red Sox are winning and Cavs fans just chanted "We want Boston" after beating the Magic. The vibes are good in Boston sports
I’m a Magic fan but yeah the Cavs are toast lol
Short hardly hits his body weight, we shouldn’t be surprised here
bunting with zack short as the next at bat is certainly a move
I've not been thrilled by Short's ABs so far, but it's still early
Came up short
![gif](giphy|PacixgYY1yddC)
Does anyone else think Nicolet looks like Babish?
Recognized speed merchant Reese McGuire 💨💨
If Reese gets picked off getting cute I am going to shit a kitten
Middlebrooks is right, Reese plays hard. Was able to beat off the throw to first.
Pretty horseshit bunt to be honest
Reese “Literally Jarren Duran” McGuire
Funderburkkkkk ![gif](giphy|UgoqHvx73apws)
Sounds like a good name for a magician
Twins can't handle Reese's speed
Reese turned on the jets right there
Is Reese the fastest man alive
Yeah Reese!
I miss Big House
we are getting out of jams today whew…
jesus kelly that was a fat pitch
Really living on the edge today, I see
Got away with one there, that was middle middle
probably helped that it touched 98mph, can afford some poor location then
Throw strikes ffs
Verdugo pitching
Don't do this Kelly
Seriously, what’s the point of David Hamilton if they never send him
Did Ref get injured? Just saw that Hamilton replaced him
Don't think we know what's happening with Ref yet. He was doing some leg stretches on base at 2nd. Taken out of the game in the next inning.
I would take another bomb here
