Hogs vs South Cackalacky——Baseball

[DirkPiggler]

That had to be a horrible exchange by the cut off man, or just a weak dribbling throw home.  Even a bad throw home should have gotten him out.

Top of the fourth.

Souza leads off. Doubles to the gap in left center. 1 on.

Holt grounds out weakly to first. Runner moves to third. 1 away.

[Thin Red Swine]

Well, slap my pappy. There's an XBH.

[Gambler]

Why do we swing at so many pitches in the fucking dirt?

Why do we swing at so many pitches in the fucking dirt?

With all the technology we have, apparently we do a terrible job of teaching hitters to pick up spin.

Well, slap my pappy. There's an XBH.

To no avail.

For what seems like the 80th time in this series, we get the leadoff man on and don't bring him in.

Reeves grounds out 1-3. 2 away. Runner moves to second.

LeCroy flies out to right.

Apparently, the announcers think our pitcher's name is pronounced "Tie Gard".

[Gambler]

We aren't going far if we keep missing opportunities to score runs. No team will do it every time, but we are not producing runs in bust the game open times.

Man on third, 1 out, and we shit the bed.

We're not doing shit in the postseason if we can only score charity runs by way of HBPs, walks, and errors.

At a certain point you have to hit the fucking ball and drive in base runners.

Casas flies out to left. 1 away.

Ellis doubles to the corner in right. 1 on.

[Sus-Scrofa]

Hello darkness my old friend...

[Feral]

South Carolina just had a runner in scoring position and hit a double to bring him in.   

Is...is that allowed?

Pitching change brought to you by Parmesan cheese. I hope I never need that much. Pitzer in to pitch. (RHP)

Wagner watches two right down the chute. 1-2 count. Then swings at one outside for a groundout to short.

Hogs lead 4-2 mid 6.

[Feral]

Holy shit that was a lucky break at the plate, because Diggs would've been out by a mile.

Good throw gets him for sure.

Petry is in his own head as much as any of our guys. 

[One Quarter]

These guys do the gayest celebrations I've ever seen, for baseball events that happen multiple times in every game.  It's like this is their first time for everything.

Like stupid gay or like "jizz in a mustache" gay?
