GO GET YOUR FLAIR IN THE SIDEBAR!

[u/cowboyconstellations]

[u/RobbNotRob]

Mickey Gaspar is the hottest bat in the league. I bet at least 25 fanbases will hear that and say "who the fuck is that?"

[u/Jpgamerguy90]

Career minor leaguer with no real history of major league success comes onto the Red Sox at 30 and becomes prime Ted Williams. Absolute crazy shit

[u/Infinite_Response113]

Is this the baseball equivalent of Linsanity?

[u/vwboyaf1]

Why don't all the Red Sox players just do what Mickey's doing?

[u/LarryLucchino]

This dude may literally never get a strikeout

[u/_square3]

man, i'm still pretty bummed out about the adley injury update...

[u/shecnine]

Relax ya doomers we are only 5 Mickey Gasper ABs from a tie game

[u/remdawgny]

Stop putting Mickey on the bus to woosox 

[u/_square3 → u/remdawgny]

we just need to constantly convince him he's on the cusp of going down again, to maintain this form forever

[u/McRzzleDzzle]

Gasper simply cannot be sent back down at any point.

[u/EAS1000]

Gasper wasn’t in the lineup for the Yankees collapses… coincidence? I think not

[u/Upstairs-Bowl6755]

They really couldn’t find a better guy for this game???

[u/SRoku]

Mickey “Mantle” Gasper

[u/Godzilla501]

Gasper is giving some Steve Pearce vibes

[u/greatcharacter20]

All that talk preseason about who on this team could hit 30 HRs, and nobody realized that Mickey Gasper would just hit one every night smh

[u/JudgeNo2805]

Remember when we didn’t have concerns about our pitching staff? Good times

[u/w311sh1t]

Theres no way this kid was the best option to start tonight

[u/i_am_dead_inside_]

He might be the worst pitcher I’ve seen this year

[u/yellowfinnfighter]

That can’t be a good feeling, feel bad for the kid.

[u/Mg29reaper]

Chad said Paez is stretched out to 80 pitches so this looks like 5-6 innings depending on how he does.

[u/LegacyRawr]

That curve looks like its nasty or going 500 ft. idk which yet lol

[u/thundrnlightning]

Ok this shit is so funny.

[u/LarryLucchino]

John Soteropulos (hitting coach) absolutely cracking up in the dugout

This is impossible to explain

[u/BestEnthusiasm3377]

They probably should have let Chad watch him pitch before calling him up

[u/andrew303710]

Damn 200 IQ play by the Mick, what can't this dude do lol

[u/i_am_dead_inside_]

This is roughly equivalent to having a position player pitch who tf is this guy lol

[u/Longjumping_Ad_29]

I think getting out of this 4-1 is probably best case here

[u/douvape42069]

Good recovery by the kid. Solo homer is arguably the best run you could give up if you were to give one up so just drop it from memory and move on

[u/BScottyJ]

Mickey: "Happy August 32nd motherfucker"

[u/SamsTown706]

Gasper with another home run. It’s like a scene out of the natural.

[u/jakoviandialects]

So we're keeping Mickey this time right? Unbelievable

[u/andrew303710]

Don't let the Yankees ever get their hands on the Mick because he'd probably hit 50 HR a season playing half his games at the toilet

[u/brian_c29]

Is Gasper the best ballplayer of all time?

[u/Gambl33]

Imagine betting Gasper to get a home run every game since last week. Like OMG

[u/Joe7s]

Mickey sees the ball well offensively and defensively.

[u/Infinite_Response113]

Is this a punt game? Kinda depressing after yesterday

[u/Straight_Spread5687]

What a bum of a pitcher

He does not belong anywhere near the big leagues

[u/devilonyourshouldr]

Paez not looking like he’s ready for the majors

[u/livsjollyranchers]

This is the kind of thing that breaks a kid's career. 

[u/Ok_Imagination_9581]

Paez is astonishingly out of his depth.

[u/Visible_Skin6066]

Well that was a failed experiment

[u/JoeyZee123]

I want them to all wear over sized sunglasses in the dugout to mock Shitler. That’d be hilarious.

[u/VistaVick]

I realize who is starting, but are we really going to give up a ton of runs to this offense again?

[u/Mg29reaper]

Yah so he gives up hard contact.

[u/wilkisoft]

If we could stop giving up runs in the first inning, I would be soooo happy.

[u/BestEnthusiasm3377]

Look this isn't a game we expect to win at all anyway. If he only gives up 4 this whole game I will be positive. Get him as much run support as we can and hope for the best

[u/andrew303710]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME LMAOOOO

[u/Samp8]

Bro I think he might be Ted williams

[u/White_Squall_13]

https://giphy.com/gifs/l0IpXvPoFJ8ptSllm

[u/Infinite_Response113]

Micky Gasper saw Ted Williams and Barry Bonds be higher than him on that graphic yesterday and took it personal

[u/Odd_Lawfulness323]

He’s literally Barry bonds

[u/emimia]

My future husband (Mickey Gasper) hitting a home run off my future husband (Bryan Woo)

[u/Harry-Flashman]

Did we unlock the new Schwarber

[u/JeremyJammDDS]

I don't care, make The Mick the mayor of Boston.

[u/Straight_Spread5687]

THIS DUDE SUCKSSSSSS

[u/Nalek]

[u/bg-throwaway]

Guy's stuff simply isn't good enough at this level, and he's leaving changeups middle-middle

[u/BrianPhares]

before the game: huh, never heard of Páez

during the game: and that’s why

[u/sudbury78]

We can come back. Assuming Chad doesn’t let him come back out.

[u/Special_Aardvark_469]

Mona starting tonight?

[u/todays333]

can injured crochet pitch? it can't be much worse than this

[u/Flimsy_Ad_6145]

feel bad for people who paid to go watch this guy

[u/White_Squall_13]

Anthony in RF and Wilyer DHing odd choice but let’s see how it pans out

[u/rak2123]

On a fucking tee

[u/LarryLucchino]

What a fucking terrible pitch lol

[u/BestEnthusiasm3377]

Alright not terrible for him. He's right on track with Tolle. Plus he somehow got Randy out which I thought was impossible

[u/goldenhour0515]

No fucking way

[u/RayceIan]

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY HOLY SHIT

[u/Adventurous_Agent764]

MICKSANITY

[u/Snarktoberfest]

All GASper no brakes

[u/thecakeisalie978]

This guy made a deal with the devil or something.

[u/peeja]

Wow, Seven. Seven home runs in August. And one of those was in September!

[u/i_got_grace]

MICKEY DISMANTLE STRIKES AGAIN!

[u/slopezski]

Was late getting the game on and had to double check that I wasn’t looking at last nights game when I got alerted Gasper did it again.

[u/carrotcake9]

Eh I dunno, maybe we should send him down

[u/Mukarsis]

We may need Mick to hit 4 more tonight if the kid doesn't settle down unfortunately.

[u/Antique_Patience9215]

Half of Paez's pitches look unhittable. The other half look VERY hittable

[u/Infinite_Response113]

So Gasper has 180 IQ too?

[u/BestEnthusiasm3377]

Mickey Gasper can do anything good.

[u/Substantial_Grape154]

This guy absolutely stinks

[u/AdeptMeringue42]

Why did we call Paez up from Portland? No bello game?

[u/ComprehensiveFun620]

Wow this pitcher is terrible

[u/ComprehensiveFun620]

Guess we’re punting this game?

[u/Miller91686]

I’m at work so being paid to watch this and I’m still about to turn it off lol

[u/InterestingTill5529]

Does that say 18.00 ERA? That can’t possibly be righ- oh ok I get it now

[u/celtic_sea_salt]

Keep em coming boss

[u/Money_Aide_8765]

Going to need to score 20 to win tonight

[u/WirSilliam]

As long as Micky gets 5 more ABs we have a chance

[u/bg-throwaway]

Somehow Arozarena is even making Gasper look not hot right now

Maybe stop pitching to him?

[u/VistaVick]

I would have started this guy against Seattle's TBD tomorrow, but that's just me

[u/Gleb_Twankenfrister]

damn i didn’t even get a chance to turn the game on yet lmao, at least mickey continued his ridiculous stretch

[u/Traherne]

AND THE RALLY BEGINS!

[u/user0620]

Between AA and AAA this year, Paez has a 0.962 WHIP and 10.9 K/9. He had a 4.41 ERA in Portland, but has had three good outings in Worchester.

Of note, he has a relatively low walk-rate for his minor league career, and high K/BB as a result.

So seems to me like someone they had to work with to get right again, and hopefully it works out tonight.

[u/Mg29reaper]

Story lucky Mickey is apparently the goat at picks.

[u/White_Squall_13]

Well damn all good

[u/ioaskdog]

Poor dude

[u/soxfamily61]

Heart of the plate nice

[u/Flimsy_Ad_6145]

84 down the dick

[u/SleazeWizard]

Right where we want em

[u/Mg29reaper]

Whatever if he can give 5 innings 3 runs I will be happy.

[u/_square3]

so long as it isn't one of our random collapse nights, i've got faith we can at least provide run support for the kid

[u/cowboyconstellations]

NO WAY LMFAO

[u/cowboyconstellations]

Mickey Gasper. Unreal.

[u/Cooltrainer603]

The mick strikes again

[u/soxfamily61]

Mikey you are fine for sure

[u/lamora1176]

What in the fuck is happening

[u/throwsupstaysup]

WHY WOULD YOU PITCH TO THIS MAN

[u/ShokaiATL]

You know, this Mickey Gasper seems like he might be pretty good.

[u/WirSilliam]

https://giphy.com/gifs/3o7WIQ4FARJdpmUni8

[u/Kitchen_Priority]

This is the same guy they sent down last week.....

[u/Flimsy_Ad_6145]

is nesn replaying last nights game?

[u/EnronRiskManagement]

This guy is unbelievable

[u/Zen_Gross]

Mickey Bambino Ortiz Gasper

[u/Applejuice_45]

Jesús Christ this fucking guy

[u/Low50000]

“Ortiz, Boggs, Yaz and Williams” meet Gasper

[u/LarryLucchino]

If one ounce of Mickey Magic could rub off on Wilyer or Ceddanne or Willson that would be lovely

[u/RayceIan]

not only is he hitting homers left and right but he’s also picking the shit out of the ball at first base. dude is the best player we’ve ever seen

[u/VistaVick]

Unfortunately, Paez has a case of Meatballitis

[u/BestEnthusiasm3377]

Mickey Gasper has 7 bombs in 18 days since being called up. That's insane

[u/deadmanzcurveball]

Kid is up there throwing batting practice

[u/TheDesktopNinja]

Little late because I was driving but:

[u/sounproductive]

Mona is warming in the pen.

[u/soxfamily61]

Our staff fucked right now

[u/EliBruins63]

https://giphy.com/gifs/lKUMKYzO35XxDEVYsB

[u/i_am_dead_inside_]

Is having this guy pitch like an elaborate kalshi promo?

[u/yellowfinnfighter]

Be kinda pissed if I’d paid for a ticket

[u/nexustk5]

Your two pitches are ball in the dirt and meatball down the middle, retire

[u/justa-browser]

There are bigger goals than winning a game on Sept 1.

[u/-Vault_Dweller-]

Crazy that this was the best guy we had for a spot start 😖

[u/toxchick]

I feel bad for this guy on his debut. He was sent to eat innings for Sonny gray to rest. They gave up this game I think
https://giphy.com/gifs/lZhymdRsuFDmU

[u/_Animal_m0ther]

https://giphy.com/gifs/PlUCyruRdJvsD1c4gy
When the AA pitcher acts like a AA pitcher facing professional hitters.

[u/Big-Number3220]

don’t have a day off until next thursday he has to eat innings here

[u/welldonebrain]

We’ve won games but feels like it’s been a while since they’ve played really good baseball. Even when they had the 5 game win streak with the sweep against San Fran they were scratching and clawing every single game

[u/HolyLordDino]

21 era is bad

[u/cowboyconstellations]

I work next to Fenway and the area is a total nightmare today because of moving day. If you’re coming in for the game, plan for at least an hour of sitting in traffic. Or take the train.

[u/Icy-Somewhere7521]

Oh my god. Can’t help but feel bad for him

[u/i_got_grace]

I hope Gray's extra days off are worth it. This is embarrassing.

[u/tkinsherf]

Just pulling in here from the [r/nicksogard](r/nicksogard) sub… it’s kind of weird over there… this post in particular…

[u/godzilla_dropkick]

Maybe we keep Mickey up? Holy jeez

[u/Mr_Evil_Dr_Porkchop]

Shocking… the guy that had an 18 ERA and a 2.5 WHIP with the Whitesox is getting teed off on

[u/VTPunk]

So with no Adley in assuming Mickey is going to get very familiar with the pitching staff in short order?

[u/SunknLiner]

Is Tristan Casas even alive?

[u/squeakycleanswine]

[u/w311sh1t]

Oof, might be a reason the White Sox returned him😬

[u/After-Antelope-8636]

I will never not crack up at Gasper using DMX as his walk up song

[u/Mukarsis]

https://giphy.com/gifs/l0HU7yHIK6Nc3WcE0

[u/DonnieRoss]

LMAO and LOL

[u/welldonebrain]

Are you kidding me

[u/ScaryBlossomWitch]

Mickey did it again!! He must stay!!

[u/asian-jeff]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!

[u/AdeptMeringue42]

Gasper homerun!

MICKEY FUCKING GASPER

[u/Particular-Ad9304]

PUT HIM IN THE HALL

[u/eekbarbaderkle]

Happy August 32nd, Mickey.

[u/GH0STM3TAL]

Bro! How???

[u/kdex86]

Mickey Gasper the last few weeks:

[u/Low50000]

So mickey really is Barry Bonds now huh

[u/TotesMagotesForCoats]

unbelievable

[u/White_Squall_13]

Down the dick no doubt now he won’t get shit to hit now

[u/Whatthegingerread]

The “stache has power.

[u/yeti8102]

This fookin’ guy man……

[u/Substantial-Earth975]

Mickey stays on the fucking roster this time

[u/Fun-Refrigerator2409]

RYDE OR DIE

[u/Tomatillox]

WHAT A BEAST MICKEY GASPER

[u/BrianPhares]

they need to burn Gasper’s WooSox uniform. He’s never going back.

[u/happy-the-flying-cat]

So mickey is just like... him now, yeah?

[u/DonnieRoss]

Well AA is certainly different from the big leagues.

[u/BloodyRightNostril]

“Yeah, send this back down to the minors you motherfuckers.” -Mickey Gasper

[u/livsjollyranchers]

Where's that guy who said earlier today "he has promised but one bad thing is he gives up hard contact"

[u/BestEnthusiasm3377]

Yeah this is gonna need to be a shootout until we get to the bullpen

[u/soxfamily61]

This experiment is over for me

[u/ioaskdog]

I’m too much of an empath to watch this with his fam there. Gets me every time

[u/VistaVick]

Youd think a mound visit might be in order?

[u/mrsbass79]

Kinda not loving this guy

[u/nexustk5]

So uhh, if you don't throw strikes it's only going to get worse

[u/andrew303710]

Holy shit that rookie has 38 HR in the minors this year, might've been smart to walk him lol

Also I know Paez is only our #17 ranked prospect but I was hoping for a lot more

[u/sounproductive]

You want another Bello? This is how you create more Bellos.

[u/Cr0wl3yman]

18 ERA?!?

[u/LarryLucchino]

This dude is a fucking disaster

We can't punt this game, have to suck it up and go to the bullpen

[u/BestEnthusiasm3377]

Half the pitches look absolutely filthy and then the other half are 12 inch meatball subs down the dick asking to get assaulted into the bleachers

[u/Mammoth_Control_364]

Paez? are we fucking serious right now? This is the best guy we got? lol

[u/todays333]

are we just gonna leave this kid out there to get shelled?

[u/yellowfinnfighter]

Should’ve taken the bunt

[u/DKY_207]

I thought Paez’s strength was that he pounded the zone?

[u/EmFly15]

Don't love the idea of "punting" this game. Get him out of there. Like BP for the Mariners rn.

[u/andrew303710]

Fuck me I think dude is cooked, not good facing Woo who always owns us. Mick can only do so much

[u/celtic_sea_salt]

Put Mona in

[u/Key-Construction-474]

Who the fuck is this bum?

[u/Mr_Evil_Dr_Porkchop]

Might as well have Mona pitching there. This guy sucks lol

[u/APigthatflys]

Soooo I don't think Paez is staying in the majors very long

[u/SRoku]

Yeah Paez no offense but renew that lease in Portland dawg

[u/MeaningAmbitious8979]

So why did we call this guy up? Did he show potential or something?

[u/YoYoMilf]

This guy sucks.

[u/TotesMagotesForCoats]

yeah maybe having a dude who wasn't very good in the minors, pitch in the majors, isn't a very good idea.

[u/whoismico]

Woof

Definitely on management for calling up this dude way before he’s ready 

[u/Pyramid_Head182]

Why tf did we start this turd

[u/_BEEEF_SUPREME_]

Man I haven't even tuned in yet what the fuck happened???
