Why is T-Mac talking through a Radio Shack brand megaphone?

can we please not scuffle against the desiccated corpse of Justin Verlander? PLEASE? 

The percentile of the whiff rate vs walk rate and the rate of suckiness / square root of Suzuki's  birthday X3 says that all is well and the Cubs hitters are all fine.  Hang in there.

Keeping her distance from boog 😅🤣

[BigSlick]

this zone is crazy. if the ump calls this zone so big we're boned

[DYMNO]

Tuck being Tuck. Love to see it.

I’m feeling a Seiya xBH here.

[Guest]

Perfect time for Zuke to park one here. Hasn't hr in how long?

[BigSlick]

great start to Seiya's night at least. Would be cool to get a run here. 

[DYMNO]

Well, no xBH, but he DID NOT get screwed over by the ump. I’ll take the win. Also, I know I’m old, so one, get off my lawn, but two, those Giants uniforms are an assault on my fading sense of vision. Yuck.

[PeanutPunch33]

D Backs tied the game!

[BigSlick]

yeah i really hate those giants uniforms. very ugly numbers on them in particular

[Jason Ross]

Yeesh, Pete. No. 

[DYMNO]

PCA with the Javy swing after a Boog curse. 
 

edit: JAVY not JAVA. I told you my vision is failing, but maybe my fingers are fattening, too.

the Giants announcers were predicting exactly that, a ball way down below the strike zone 😞 Sad to see PCA fall for it - it was a very good at bat right up till then

There is a reason that uniforms like the Cardinals, Cubs, and Yankees always look good; simplicity. The worst uniforms chase trends. Across all sports. 

If you're a movie person, it is why movies that rely heavily on topical and "in" jokes age poorly, but strong writing, physical comedy and pithy lines are classics.

Let try getting a couple guys on with no outs instead of two, maybe with 3 shots at it someone will get a hit 🤷‍♂️

1000%. Fantastic analogy. 

[JHBulls]

Oh God, it made it on Marquee as well. Two random people to the majority of the world got engaged. Not a big deal. Move on. 

[chibears55]

Why does all sports media think people care about Swift and Kelce?

[DYMNO]

I absolutely love Matthew Boyd. He’s been amazing for this team, and by all accounts, he is a really good dude. Easy to root for. 

[DYMNO]

That was one helluva play.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Hey Cobs, it's 2025 Verlander, not 2015.

[DYMNO]

Hey, @Jason Ross:

To what do you attribute Nico’s overall lack of slug? Is it swing speed? He seems to make decently hard contact, and I’d assume with his frame he’d be capable of 10-15 HRs a year.
