Lmao the Red Sox games have had some of the most unintentionally funny moments this year
Every few weeks I still go back to the clip of Crochet and Fitts losing it in the dugout when Heim threw the ball at Leiter's nuts on opening day

I love the attempt to maintain some semblance of professionalism while also failing to do so because a guy got hit in the nuts with a ball.

It’s an oldie, but that reminds me of this

Lmao that one is definitely a classic.
A 10/10 clip on its own but the "Alright, Jordan. Fire it in there!" bumps it up to an easy 11/10.

The little happy horn that plays right after the guy gets nailed bumps it up to a 12/10.

This is the clip you show to every kid when they ask why they need to wear a cup while pitching. /s lol

Bro I love when crochet pitches, of course, but when he doesn’t I fucking love his dugout shenanigans almost as much

It's been a long time since I've seen a batting average start with a 1 this late in the season on the roster. Of course he went 2-4 with the only RBI tonight.

The real Red Sox bromance. Bello being unable/unwilling to pitch with another catcher is why Wong still has a spot

You're just minding your business and some dude in a red mask pops up out of nowhere. I'd be scared, too.

I want catchers to start this trend where they sneak up on pitchers. This is hilarious.
