When they first zoomed in on Hunter Jones' face as he took the Fenway mound, he looked as if he was going to either a.) step off the mound and vomit, b.) pee his pants, or c.) swallow his tongue. Or some unpleasant combination of the three. Luckily, he did none of those and instead threw a strike to Luke Scott. Two ground outs, a ground out + an error, and a fly out later, Hunter Jones could safely return to the dugout, major-league debut accomplished without an embarrassing sideshow.
In semi-related how-de-do news, Takashi Saito said after yesterday's save:
"I think I carried out my role. I finally feel like I am a Red Sox player."
I think that might just have more to do with cringing through a band concert than anything.
