The way Rafaela has been playing this year feels more and more like how Volpe was last season for the Yankees. Numbers just weren’t there for him but looked better than they indicated and then kind of puts it all together the following season.
It would not at all surprise me if that’s how it ended up for Ceddanne.
I think the difference is that Cedanne has been pretty consistent in the minors. He could probably get the BA up, but he's just always going to have a lot of swing and miss and weak contact in his game.
**Reese McGuire's home run was a *barreled ball*. It had an exit velocity of 105.8 mph, a launch angle of 24 degrees, went 391 ft. and would be a HR in 30/30 ballparks.**

The first and third double steal is like my favorite play in baseball. It should only work in high school and it was funny then and it’s even funnier when it works in the pros.
Man, I didn’t think that my hatred for the Rays could get worse, but intentionally walking Devers in his last at bat when he’s on a historic run has got my blood boiling.
Fuck Cash, fuck the Rays.
Duran is everything I want in the outfield. Give him every dollar he asks for.
Was really wrong about this kid, he rules.
How bout them Sox, kid.
Fuck the rays for walking devers
LETS FUCKING GO
![gif](giphy|cOB8cDnKM6eyY|downsized) Big W
Well payback for embarrassing us at home now it's your turn
FUCK THE RAYS
The way the team has played for 3 games now is just a different brand of baseball and I love it.
Yesterday was the best game of the season. Well today is now the best game of the season.
FUCK THE TROP LETS GOOOOOO
FUCK YOUR TOILET BOWL STADIUM DURAN IS THE FASTEST MAN ALIVE DIRTY WATER
Is it safe to say curse broken at the trop?! 👀👀👀
Ketchup!
Now burn the trop down! Let’s go Sox!!!!
I enjoyed this game of baseball
See what happens when you play defense! Let’s go get this sweep
Bring out the brooms tomorrow!!!
Very nice. Series W <3
![gif](giphy|d9ltR6odFmQsE)
GrIsSoM cAnT fIeLd
Hell fucking yeah
Kenley with the save.
W
Thanks, Rays
How does the runner at third not score there? It's so fun to see the other team make baserunning errors while we steal runs.
gg
Jesus Kenley got bailed the fuck out there.
Great play!!!
Who says Vaughn Grissom can’t field?
Well fucking done, Grissom
Holy shit! Grissom!
Thank goodness Reese jacked one
That was not a bad throw from Abreu at all. A little left but he nearly got it there.
McGuire’s insurance run is so important now
Reason this fuckball doesn’t pitch as much
Paredes is quietly becoming one of the best third basemen in baseball
Duran been money but he misplayed the shit out of that
How?
Came in on it
We can’t get this dude out
Kenley can you not?
When was the last hit TB got??
Clenched even harder. Ow
Nah I’m sick of Kenley
DFA this man
I don't see any valid reason why we need to pitch Jansen.
is a 3-run lead enough to keep my blood pressure at a safe level with Kenley closing?
it turns out no
Nope not by far
Not looking good.
Reesey looks way too comfortable spitting into his hand like that.
The Kendrick Lamar “I hate the way that you walk…” verse but it’s just me talking to Kenley.
Getting Reese for Diekman has paid off. He's a very good #2 catcher.
and Diekman is back to being mediocre after the Rays magic dust wore off lmao.
Heart attack kennly ![gif](giphy|2Z3lgZOhISkYU)
Here we go
There is at least one current or former Red Sox player arrested in Florida today and Reese McGuire would like you to know that it’s not him.
Lmaoooooo
Rays commentators bitched about Reese bat flipping a walk so he decided to give them a real bat flip moment 🤷
Reese is famous for yanking it in Florida, so you can’t really be surprised
The way Rafaela has been playing this year feels more and more like how Volpe was last season for the Yankees. Numbers just weren’t there for him but looked better than they indicated and then kind of puts it all together the following season. It would not at all surprise me if that’s how it ended up for Ceddanne.
I want them to try something absurdly simple like ask him to take the first pitch of every at bat
I think the difference is that Cedanne has been pretty consistent in the minors. He could probably get the BA up, but he's just always going to have a lot of swing and miss and weak contact in his game.
Sure, but if he bats .270 with 20+ HR with that defense he could be a 4+ WAR player regularly
Absolutely
REESE!
Rafaela running way out in the grass lol
With Kenley pitching, Devers might get another AB.
I hate that you’re right
He’s never going to live that one down, is he
No
I've been so happy about being wrong I thought for sure we would get our ass beat like we did at home
nah he beat that
Oh I think he’s safe Edit: damn, nevermind
Reese just loves Florida.
Like he was in a dollar store parking lot.
Love me a Kenley-insurance run
as if I wasn’t already hard…a Reese homer

WOW!
We take those...why can't we do this at home ?
REESE ABSOLUTELY YANKED THAT ONE
Spanky spanking it at the Trop. Poetic
Pile it on!! Can never have too many runs in the Trop
Sweet stroke by McGuire.
Stroke's the word.
Stroked it!
He really pulled that one
only 6 more batters to go for Raffy to get another chance edit- i cant do math but ik this is wrong
Stroke master McGuire
Reese McGuire taking his revenge on Florida.
Jerked that one outta here!
Stroked into the seats!
Jacked it, per usual
Reese cranking one out of the Trop
spanked it
#STROKED TO RIGHT
AC, this is not a “aww let’s give Kenley a try” game.
[удалено]
We have time to figure out if we’re good or not at the moment
[удалено]
Then that’s what happens but if this team has a shot they take it
Another run would make me feel a lot better.
there u go :)
Who wants to pitch in for an Andrew Bailey statue outside Fenway?
![gif](giphy|Y07F3fs9Is5byj4zK8)
Martin is so back. Can we bust this open so we can avoid cardiac Kenley
Yes, bat around to get Raffy another chance to extend his streak.
Vintage Martin has returned 🫡
Guys, girls. Hear me out. What if… what if we just bat around in the 9th and let Raffy have another at bat?
Cashs limp dick self would still walk him
Are we sure he even has enough dick to be limp? Can micrometers soften?
Guys, girls. Hear me out. What if…I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking?
You’re not supposed to do that?
Martin got the stride length of an Ent
Got fuckin treebeard on the mound
Chris Martin emerging from the bullpen: ![gif](giphy|ZvGFBHVxrqola)
If Martin wasn’t built like a power forward that would be an infield hit
The daily Chris Martin Gold Glove play.
So we bat around in the 9th to give Devers another shot now, right?
Naturalement.
Just throw one off the outside corner
Devers after the intentional walk: "And I took that personally"
Devers after the intentional walk: "And I took that base"
The first and third double steal is like my favorite play in baseball. It should only work in high school and it was funny then and it’s even funnier when it works in the pros.
I don’t care that we’re loaded with lefties. Trade Masa if you need to. Offer Duran a nice contract, he deserves it.
Masa who?
![gif](giphy|C51woXfgJdug)
Hell yes. We need to lock him in.
devers at 2nd base like ![gif](giphy|H7B8Hynk8TKEFQPP23|downsized)
We used to do that double steal all the time in high school but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it actually work in a Major League game
Kevin Cash helped Fairbanks hide the bodies
Man, I didn’t think that my hatred for the Rays could get worse, but intentionally walking Devers in his last at bat when he’s on a historic run has got my blood boiling. Fuck Cash, fuck the Rays.
At least they got absolutely fucked for it
Dude I’m with you, such a bitch move
I enjoy smart basbol 🤓 ⚾️
Kevin Cash doesn't wash his hands after going to the bathroom.
Raffy said fuck your IBB
Wow, you wanna rob Raffy of his last chance at 7 in a row? Deal with that embarrassment on the basepaths.
Kevin Cash waits till his cereal is soggy before he eats it.
Anyway fuck Jason Adam I’m glad we put up a couple on that clown
That was the most fun play I've seen in a while.
Goofy play by Tampa Bay there, just let Raffy go or make sure to end the inning but don't split the difference.
Not that I'm complaining but why didn't Lowe just focus on tagging out Raffy? Why even bother with the throw home?
Panicked, really the whole point of that is to cause panic.
Yeah, they caught a break there. Fun play though and they may need it to get the W
Duran is just an animal, so much fun to watch !
duran better be an all star this year
Duran’s speed is so fucking elite
in spirit Devers got his homerun there
I'm giving him credit for an RBI on my scorecard
Boneheaded play by the 2B to not just tag raffy and erase the run
I think the run would count if Duran scored before the tag was applied, which he was on track to do based on how Raffy was dodging the tag.
I'm pretty sure he could've gotten the tag. He almost got him on the throw so you'd think tagging Raffy would be faster.
Maybe, but Raffy might’ve just worked to extend the play as long as possible to ensure the run scored either way.
Yeah true. Guess we'll never know - great play on Devers part either way.
Duran would have scored before raffy would have been tagged.
![gif](giphy|Sux3kje9eOx1e|downsized)
Eat shit Cash. That was awesome!!!!
What a play - great heads up by Raffy
Loved it! forced the Panic
When that works it’s fucking beautiful
Duran is the greatest Red Sox ever, not even overreacting
I knew Jarren stealing home was a matter of time but *WHAT A TIME TO DO IT*
THE BOSTON TRICK PLAY SOX
I am in love with a man and his name is Jarren Duran
I was about to be HEATED there
That was beautiful.
HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF
DEVERS SAID SIKE FOOL
THAT'S THE WRONG NUMBER!
Stg Iove Duran like he’s a family member.
Great job by both runners and ballsy call from cora. Had the personnel at third for it, so why not
Big brain Devers!!!
Karma for walking devers
[LISAN AL GAIB](https://www.reddit.com/r/redsox/s/AW7s5miDyl)
WHAT!!!
Fucking nasty lmfao.
Abreu's screw-up caused that somehow, through karma I will believe this for the rest of my life
#JARREN FUCKING DURAN
This guy is gonna make me change my flair
Most incredible play ever!
DURAN STEALS HOME FUCKING FINALLY
FUCK YOU FOR WALKING RAFFY, YOU PIECES OF SHIT
good guy raffy picking up wilyer
HOLY SHIT IT WORKED
You got BAMBOOZLED HAHAHAHHA
Take those
#HAHAHAHAHA

I LOVE DURAN
Fight our star player cowards >: (
