MLB Thread - Praise be to the greatness of Ohtani

That's pretty good I'd say (looking for any Baez cards I have)

[Show-Me Hog]

I have never seen a 9th inning quite like the Cardinals-Reds just pulled, not since Little League.

 

Top of 9th:  5-4 Reds, 2 outs, men on 2nd & 3rd for STL, fly ball hit to warning track, outfielder decided to drop it rather than catch it. Cards take lead and go on to score 4 more with 2 outs.  10-5 Cardinals.

Bottom of 9th: 6 walks by the Cardinals plus a couple of hits get the Reds to within 10-9, bases loaded, 2 outs.  Fly ball to the wall ends it.  The Cardinals outfielder decided to catch it.

Dude was a winner before he tossed the ball to Kate Upton

Best thing I've see. Today.

[Barton Fink]

Great stuff with Verlander. He was incredible for us in the 2000s.

Tiger's end up walking it off with a HR.

[BleedinRed]

Just coming to post that.  How can you not be romantic about baseball. 

[Thin Red Swine]

Well, Vealchop managed to lead MLB in something.

I want Austin Riley injected into my veins

I want Austin Riley injected into my veins

He really needed that.

Hopefully that exorcised the Braves' playoff demons as pertaining to the phillies.

[Thin Red Swine]

Hagen Smith had a solid outing in his Game 1 start.

3 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 0 BB, 1 K

It's gonna be a great day for Sox wearers.


I hope. But I don't have a good feeling about my Red ones.

[Thin Red Swine]

Fuck the Yankees.

[Cornhogio]

That went from competitive to a nut drag pretty quickly.

[Thin Red Swine]

And tonight, the Red Sox have chosen cuckoldry.

When your first two "batters" stare at grooved third strikes, it doesn't bode well.

[Cornhogio]

Looks like they're going to roll a donut for the series.  Jeez...

[Thin Red Swine]

Yes it's anemic. Five hits and 17 strikeouts in 14 innings.

They spent all their energy in that big run from 14 games under .500 and had nothing much really for the last month.

Sadly, it looks like 1 run is gonna be enough for the Pinheads tonight. 

[Thin Red Swine]

Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit.

First postseason run in 27 innings. Progress!

[Thin Red Swine]

Jeebus. It's like watching an Arkansas meltdown.
 
That's two huge defensive mistakes by Contreras.

And now the wheels are all off.

They couldn't win the Little League World Series with this performance.

[Thin Red Swine]

Fuck the Yankees.

Now they'll go choke against somebody else.

Just going to point out again how much of a banger this intro is
