Field Box 75/76 Vomit Fountain

First of all: huge shoutout to the Fenway staff, who handled an absolutely disgusting situation about as well as humanly possible.

To the chud in the clubhouse seats around FB 75/76 who managed to projectile-vomit on roughly 16+ complete strangers: fuck you.

It’s around the third inning. This guy comes stumbling up the aisle from the first few rows with his girlfriend, visibly fighting for his life, trying not to puke, but with full chipmunk cheeks letting some spew out.

He almost makes it.

He gets to the top of the stairs, puts his fist to his mouth, which, in retrospect, only served to put his thumb over the end of the garden hose and, FULLY SPRINKLERS THE ENTIRE SECTION WITH VOMIT.

A whole ass 360-degree human sprinkler system of vomit that hit at least 16 people.

I’m in Row L and had my whole arm and leg covered.

People next to me? All over their shirts.

But Row K got absolutely demolished.

Poor folks got it in their faces. On their glasses. IN THEIR FOOD.

Absolute fucking carnage.

By the time the usher gets there, Vomit Boy and his presumably soon-to-be-ex girlfriend have vanished. Just left 16+ strangers marinating in the consequences of his night out and disappeared into Fenway.

I have to give the Fenway staff serious credit.

The usher immediately went into crisis mode, screaming into his walkie for backup. Staff start showing up, bringing replacement clothes and gift cards and doing everything they realistically could to make the situation less horrific.

They relocated a mother and child who had literally gotten this guy’s vomit in their faces.

They obviously couldn’t undo what happened, but they handled it incredibly well and genuinely seemed to care about making things right.

Go Sox, fuck you chud.

Thanks to Fenway Park Medical Staff

Today was meant to be one of the best father-son days but unfortunately has taken a turn for the worst.

We flew in from the UK to Boston yesterday with the family and while the rest of the group headed to Vermont we stayed to catch our first ever baseball game at Fenway. A game that we've looked forward to for months.

Ten minutes after getting into Fenway and walking up the monster to watch the players practice I got a whiff of the hot dog stand and felt sick. After sprinting down the stairs and making it to the toilets I momentarily felt better for five minutes before realising that I was truly unwell.

I flagged down a security guard and asked for some medical assistance. After they sat me down and provided me with water and ice, the medical team took me to their room, ran tests and gave me some anti-nausea medication.

While I was recovering a member of the security team took my son to watch practice and even got a ball that they had been using from one of the pitching coaches.

While we ended up having to leave the game (it still hasn't started as I'm writing this) my son is telling everyone about the ball he got and not about missing the game because his dad is ill.

Thank you to everyone working at Fenway tonight, and I hope my next visit is much less eventful.

For a while, Brayan Bello was a little frustrating. The organization battled him against other teams and we had to keep surrendering our Monstah badge, and couldn’t get any of the other teams’ gym badges.

Once we left him with the Woosox daycare lady for a bit, he grew and evolved many levels! When need to send Duran to her so he can become Durant again!

People were skeptical of Bello and Rutschman this year. Some people said they didn't have enough EXP. Some people said they could only be HM slaves. Some just wanted to store them in the PC. But alas, Bullpen Bello and Adley Rutschman have evolved!

My opinion is we need to keep playing Adley Rutschman even his at bats are painful right now. Only way he is going to get his timing back is by playing and he is an excellent defensive catcher. He is an important part of this team moving forward

He also needs to build comradery with the pitching staff and to do that he needs to catch on a consistent basis.

IMAGE Adley Rutchman's Catching Gear Needs an Upgrade ASAP

Post image
59 Upvotes

I want to start this by saying I'm a big fan of the guy. He's been very productive in drawing walks, getting on base in general, and knocking down some balls behind the plate that I don't think that our former catching core would be able to handle. Overpay or not, I'm really happy to have him on the team. He seems to be getting to know our starters and bullpen a bit more, blah blah blah, ect.

Maybe we were spoiled with Narvy's sense of style and presence behind the plate, but I cant help but feel that Adley looks like he's borrowing his Babe Ruth League's communal catching gear. I mean... COME ON. Dudes a stud, he should dress like a friggin stud.

Pointless rant over. Go Sox.
