If it's not part of the Major League Cinematic Universe, it doesn't work

Am I the only one who thinks that both of the home teams not wearing their traditional jerseys is B---S---?  The Rays haven't been the Devil Rays for years. Baseball fandom is based on tradition, period!

I'd accept The Sandlot 2
shortstop
7:09
There already is a Sandlot 2. And it's pretty good!

I'm working on an original NBA comedy at present, fwiw

But is it set in the Kyrieverse?

Whenever I hear ARod I can't help myself but think about his absurd "even over odd lead" comment. Still can't believe he said what he said.

If by Kyrieverse you mean REALITY, then yes?

CTA, I don't think you get it. A solo home run can't tie you, and a grand slam can't beat you.

I liked A-Rod's commentary back when they just used him in post-games the first couple years, but I do not like him a broadcaster full time

Nasty stuff, but Hicks not exactly commanding the baseball.
Appa Yip Yip
7:11
What kind of contract do you think Hicks gets this offseason? Are any teams going to promise to try him as a starter like he wants?
Ben Clemens
7:11
Yeah, perhaps not weirdly, as Hicks has started throwing harder he's commanding the ball less
AvatarDan Szymborski
7:11
I don't think anyone pays him to be a starter given his health. He might have to take a significant discount to get that

102.4 mph....how are you supposed to hit that? You have zero time to make up your mind.

The thing with Jordan Hicks is a lot of games you can just decide to not swing.

I honestly don't know why Mike Trout wasn't part of Avengers Infinity War/Endgame

Ben, that must be it. I probably don't get it because I am German and have no clue about baseball. By the way, let's go Max Kepler and greetings out of Germany!

That A Rod rant is just an all time great
My wife has started doing it to me every time the Giants take an odd lead at a game we're watching

Corbin Burnes starts things off with a clean half inning
AvatarDavid Laurila
7:16
George Springer, who has 19 postseason home runs, is due up fourth this inning.
Colton
7:17
Imagine being able to throw 105mph and just deciding, "Nope I'm gonna throw curveballs instead" lol Duran's stuff is a joke
J
7:18
Duran starting with 6 curveballs in his first 7 pitches is fun
Colton
7:18
Wish they would've stayed on the game to see Duran's entrance
Mike
7:19
all of MN expecting a walk here to up the tension....

Springer is last hitter the Twins want to see here.

The Twins win! The Twins win!

A playoff game n 2 hours, 40 minutes  So great!
Ben Clemens
7:21
Indeed, he ended up being the last hitter they saw

My Twins to the World Series predictions remain in play.

Ketel Marte tried a deke on Christian Yelich there
and uh, it was not believable

You guys are like a minute and a half ahead of my feed, sigh.

Wow I've heard of lag but that's brutal

I like rooting for Carlos Santana

I believe we'll be welcoming in the night shift soon; me, Davy Andrews, and Kyle Kishimoto

OK, that's 4 1/2 hours of chat for me, so time for me to hit the dusty ol' trail

Hop along, pardner
