stros in 4

― Bee OK, Wednesday, 6 October 2021 03:37 (three years ago)

Pulling for the Sox but looking forward to blank-faced TLR reaction shots after each base an Astro swipes off an inattentive pitcher.

― Andy K, Wednesday, 6 October 2021 16:27 (three years ago)

voted "white sox in 3" as my vision board

i am nervous about this series, it feels like the closest matchup outside of dodgers/giants

― na (NA), Thursday, 7 October 2021 17:00 (three years ago)

No in-game interviews with managers, players, team personnel, or any other lifeform, when I'm commissioner.

― Andy K, Thursday, 7 October 2021 20:39 (three years ago)

wake up chisox

― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 7 October 2021 21:34 (three years ago)

I'm With Andy K

Hey @MLB @MLBTV can we maybe talk about this "Get a 40 acre field full of 'em" comment by the announcer? pic.twitter.com/BWDmkbCFI8

out of nowhere i was thinking "wait what happened to yermin mercedes" and then i looked it up and was like "oh yeah tony larussa completely demolished his self-confidence and desire to play baseball"

― na (NA), Friday, 8 October 2021 19:04 (three years ago)

nice to have a game on while working...

― Bee OK, Friday, 8 October 2021 20:03 (three years ago)

back and forth games are always good.

― Bee OK, Friday, 8 October 2021 20:35 (three years ago)

goodbye White Sox, we hardly knew you

― Bee OK, Friday, 8 October 2021 21:26 (three years ago)

well this has gone poorly

― mookieproof, Monday, 11 October 2021 01:00 (three years ago)

Getting weird.

― Andy K, Monday, 11 October 2021 02:22 (three years ago)

I don't get this rule either

― Bee OK, Monday, 11 October 2021 02:25 (three years ago)

So you can be like a defensive lineman and bat away the ball with no penalties?

― Bee OK, Monday, 11 October 2021 02:28 (three years ago)

I love these kinds of games

― frogbs, Monday, 11 October 2021 02:40 (three years ago)

as a Scorer, it is insulting to me that kopech got the win in this game

do your fucking job and reward tepera

― mookieproof, Monday, 11 October 2021 05:38 (three years ago)

To answer my own question, as long as its not intentional

― Bee OK, Monday, 11 October 2021 05:44 (three years ago)

He ran out of the baseline, he should be out

― Bee OK, Monday, 11 October 2021 05:44 (three years ago)

Reminiscent of this?

― clemenza, Monday, 11 October 2021 13:09 (three years ago)

i don't know the letter of the law but grandal was obviously not intentionally trying to deflect the ball or change his path to the base so i'm glad he/the team was not penalized

big ups to ryan tepera for implying that the astros are still cheating at home somehow in his post-game interview

― na (NA), Monday, 11 October 2021 14:52 (three years ago)

Would love a revamp of how to qualify for a win. Would also fuck up 140 years of record keeping tho.

― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 11 October 2021 15:05 (three years ago)

lol wut

Re sign stealing: Tony's idea to the league was to require the runner on second base turn towards CF when the sign is given to the catcher. Then turn back.

The idea was ignored

it's on the second baseman to cover the runner's eyes

― ✖, Monday, 11 October 2021 17:17 (three years ago)

"[My left arm is dangling like a noodle but] I most definitely would not be a liability to the team, do not take me out of this game, god damn it."

― Andy K, Tuesday, 12 October 2021 18:51 (three years ago)

poor rodon : /

― mookieproof, Tuesday, 12 October 2021 19:58 (three years ago)

No point in holding runners now, apparently.

― Andy K, Tuesday, 12 October 2021 21:52 (three years ago)

fucking trashcans

― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 12 October 2021 21:59 (three years ago)

Wrap it up, Tony.

― Andy K, Tuesday, 12 October 2021 22:12 (three years ago)

that's a paddlin'

― mookieproof, Tuesday, 12 October 2021 22:27 (three years ago)

whatever one wants to claim about the efficacy of baseball managers, it's hard to overlook dusty

if only he hadn't let russ ortiz keep that ball
