Winning a 1-0 shutout is the best way to win our 9th in a row! Crazy game, baseball...

@flannel-slut he made it impossible to keep him. Wish they had gotten something for him of immediate influence.

Kinda like calling your shot before a home run…
Braves had maddog up in the booth recently and he is not a great public speaker haha

@flannel-slut haha good for the jays
-
Big Jays fan here. I cannot believe they have made it this far. Fingers crossed they can take down Seattle
-
@flannel-slut I’ll never forgive him for leaving the Cubs! I do have his Donruss rookie card in Cubs paraphernalia at least. He was so fun to watch, basically a psychiatrist on the mound who don’t need electric stuff to make you look foolish. His psychological mastery included the umpires as well as the hitters too.

@flannel-slut thats great!
-
I'm still pulling for the White Sox
-
Jays bats are cold again and if we don’t get runs our bullpen is not good enough to keep runs off the board. Definitely overmatched last night.
-
WTF was that, Shohei?
10 strikeouts, 2 hits on 10 innings and a win. And 3 Roy Hobbs style bombs including a leadoff HR after striking out the side.
This is in the discussion for the most dominant athletic performance in history, across all sports.
Unreal.
-
Striking out 10 and allowing only 2 hits in 6.1 while also hitting 3 400+ foot, 110+ MPH exit velocity home runs IN THE NLCS is absolutely video game territory. It’s beyond comprehension, and does not seem humanly possible… if you were writing a baseball movie it would be too far. It’s more like Roy Hobbs than anything we’ve ever seen in the real world.

@SKT said in MLB (Baseball):
From this Cardinal fan’s perspective…it’s like if Bob Gibson and Albert Pujols were the same player. But possibly better?
Bob Gibson is the closest comparison. Fanning 10 and hitting a HR in 1967 World Series Game 7. But he gave up 3 more runs and hit 2 fewer HR. Nothing comes close to what he did in the regular or postseason at least that I’m aware of.
-
@mclaincausey I actually didn’t know those stats about Gibson! I was just speaking more generally…Ohtani is better as a single player than the greatest hitter and pitcher in Cardinals history combined. It’s nuts…and fun to get to be a witness to it
