So like every Friday night this year I am up late googling Rocket Raimel stats and highlights.
While doing so, I think I have uncovered some of the greatest ownage of one position player over another in a half season of baseball in history. I'm talking about Rocket Raimel's utter dominance of Red Sox Catcher and 1B (LOL) Christian Vazquez.
We all remember where we were on April 21 when Vazquez hit a ball off the monster before Tapia unleashed a pinpoint 74 mph rocket to nail him at 2B. Behold, the play that inspired this entire thread:
LOL sorry bud but you'll have to do better than that if you want to get an extra base hit with the Rocket patrolling the OF.
That brings us to tonight. While leading off the top of the 6th inning with a 27-3 lead, Rocket Raimel hit a screaming chopper to Jeter Down's Syndrome (the Red Sox seriously traded Mookie Betts for this ******* LOL) who somehow fielded the ball and fired a wild throw toward the vicinity of 1B. Poor Christian Vazquez, forced into 1B duty because the Red Sox suck so bad, did his best to field the ball, but once again got utterly OWNED by the Rocket.
All 6 feet, 6 and half inches and 118 pounds of pure athleticism plowed into Vazquez at nearly 40 mph, giving the Red Sox 1B multiple concussions, broken bones, and a punctured lung. Remarkably, Red Sox trainers were able to bring Vazquez back to life with a defibrillator and he stayed in the game to hit his second homer. That's a pretty crazy story in itself but no one cares because the Red Sox lost the game 45-3. Regardless, witness Vazquez getting OWNED by the Rocket yet again:
OWNED
They probably aren't going to let Vazquez fall asleep anytime soon tonight due to concussion protocol, but once he does he'll be having nightmares of ROCKET RAIMEL.
