The Bat Flip Thread

[biittner77]

They keep saying it's headed out to sea though OC has gotten a lot of flooding over the last two days.

[jersey cubs fan]

Pretty sure the flooding right now is coming from all the rain that isn't necessarily hurricane related, but the low pressure system that is moving out in time to allow the hurricane to move out to sea. Parts of Jersey are getting hammered and lots of weekend things are getting cancelled already despite Joaquin just not getting within striking distance until Monday.

I will not rest until I see footage of the splashdown.

I've always loved when Pat breaks out "Get out the tape measure!" Reminds me of the Sosa days.

That might be the most boss [expletive] ever! The swag on that bat flip is unparalleled and then Dexter goes all Chris Tucker "you got knocked the [expletive] out" on the base path. The hi-five at the end is just straight gangster as well. That totally destroyed the crowd at PNC...I get chills every time I watch it.

[bjam12]

I've probably watched the Schwarber homer 500 times since Wednesday. So amazing.

[philosophizer75]

Every single time i watch Schwarber's splashdong i crack up.

 

and i've watched in approximately 200 times.

Anyone? How come I've seen footage of other balls end up in river but in the biggest game of year this gets missed?

[seanimal]

i can't remember ever seeing a video of a splash at pnc, just great american and at&t. i don't think the allegheny is lit the way at&t is either, it looked like the ball just disappeared into darkness

[Clem Fandango]

It's lit plenty well.

There is ALWAYS a camera that's able to look at the Allegheny on a big home run. The reason we did not see it is simple:

 

TBS is the worst and doesn't know [expletive] all about broadcasting baseball games.

[Isaac Vines]

This is the best one from earlier this year as Alvarez blasts one into the Alleghany that lands directly in a boat.

Just like The Logan said, TBS is horrible. The worst postseason coverage of any major sport that I can recall.

Wonderful.

 

If the MLB had any sack they'd make the Batflip Cam a real thing.

Oh my god, yes! I still haven't seen Schwarber or Rizzo's releases on theirs last night.

[Tracer Bullet]

Think we can lock this up now

 

[CubInOK]

Edwin Encarnacion's dong the inning before is quite worthy of this thread too.

 

[Sammy Sofa]

Holy [expletive]. Cubs gotta step up their flip game if they face the Jays in the WS; those were MAGNIFICENT.

[Brian]

unless the Jays beat the Cubs in the world series I think I may have to buy a Bautista shirsey in support of that piece of art

I don't want to stop watching it.

[CubInOK]

While searching for Schwarber's dong last night, I found this.
