When @pulhitzherprize.bsky.social and I stayed for all 18 innings of a game in San Diego, they stopped selling food after the 8th and we were deliriously hungry by the end.

As someone who sat through a seven hour, 18 inning playoff game, let me tell u that everyone in that stadium is both freezing and starving lol

I was wrong. But in fairness, 40,000 pitchers in the stands also had a good chance to get Báez to pop up.

Oh, I don’t like this move at all.

How are the Tigers getting out of all of these jams?

Woooooooow. How are the Mariners getting out of all these jams? Better score now, though ….

Does Jack “The Bird” Flaherty always talk to himself this much on the mound?

Carpenter joins Kenny Lofton (1995) and Stan Hack (1945) as the only players ever to reach base 6+ times in a playoff game.

The Curly Gambit!

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

Seattle pitching through 9. I've never seen anything like this.

Highest slider rate (sweepers inc.) in a postseason game since 2008: Seattle in 2022, ALWC g2, 50%

Seattle tonight: 63%
