Rocket Raimel nails the Runner at Second

[Terminator]

Probably my favorite play of the year so far and definitely deserving of its own thread. Raimel Tilapia uncorked a 78 mph rainbow from the Green Monster to nail some fat guy from the Red Sox at 2nd. Tilapia then blows out his finger gun after showing off his cannon of an arm.

 

Here's the play:

 

Here's a screen grab of Raimel's finger gun:

 

And this all comes after he pimped a groundball single earlier in the game! What a legend!

Just saw Rocket's bat flip after hitting a single. Cool to see.

It was pretty damn funny. This guy carries himself like he's Rickey Henderson in his prime.

If he plays more like he did in the Boston series vs the rest of the year he can certainly continue with the swag.

That'd be sweet.

That'd be sweet.

 

I should edit my own post to say plays more like he did in Boston vs the rest of his career.

Raimel outhomering Grichuk 1-0 so far this season

Even his ground balls are competitive grounders.

Get ready boys...Rocket Raimel is up to the dish with bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th...

[Terminator]

Tilapia you did it you skinny bitch

[Krylian]

He reminds me a little of Tony Fernandez at the plate.

Rocket Raimel's helmet flies off after he rockets around the bases to score on a double. Easily one of the top ATHLETES in baseball. (I mean ATHLETE and not player so don't quote reply me.)

Rocket Raimel with a moon shoot! 441 feet!
