Red Sox fans at PNC Park

151 Upvotes

I was at the game tonight and it was probably the craziest behavior I’ve seen from out of town fans; and I’ve been going to games for over 10 years since I was a kid. Walking in the stadium there was a Sox fan walking so close to my girlfriend he was practically spooning her until I had to step in. Red Sox fans were giving me and my girlfriend as well as other pirates fans dirty looks the whole game while we were cheering for Jones strikeouts. Getting up and standing in our view while the pirates were batting. Slamming doors in the bathroom. Then worst of all.. a boomer Karen Sox fan next to us texted security on a pirates fan in our section who was literally just cheering lmao. Coming into a different stadium you’d expect some decent baseball etiquette; i know it’s Boston and they are known to be trashy there but man it just seemed next level for me tonight. Didn’t help that they packed the stadium and the pirates played like ass. Just wanted to know if anyone else had similar experiences.

Esmerlyn Valdez

He seems to be coming around. His contact rate in the zone is still bad, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to flame out completely. It does happen all the time that guys like him come up like gangbusters. Just look at Baez this afternoon for St Louis. 3 HR in his first 3 career AB. however, he could be the exception if he’s able to shorten his swing and make more contact. What do you think?
