Am I a special kind of hormonal, or is Nolan McLean—King of the Mets Rotation™️—doing post-masterclass press while wearing a Jonah Tong shirt making everyone else feel things? I love our baby pitchers so much. 😭🧡💙 #Mets #LGM

Nolan McLean speaking to the press after today’s game at Citi. He is wearing a Jonah Tong branded shirt that says “Canadian Cannon.”

A shirt with a south park canadian style jonah tong on the front, finishing his pitching motion. it says “The Canadian Canon Jonah Tong” in a circle surrounding him.

As a fan of the 2024 Mets, there is little I love more than a team with a silly bit that inspires them to win.

Damn. 😍 To quote @johndemarsico.bsky.social: baseball is cinema!

Dan @danjoncon.bsky.social · 1d

LOL the first few seconds of this are pure chaotic joy and it's perfect.

I need so badly to know how high up in the front office the decision to let Humpy win went. It’s all I’ve been able to think about all day.

That’s so cool! I keep seeing the same thing from people who were in the crowd. I love a silly baseball bit to get everyone pumped up so much 😂

I am DYING to know how long the Mariners stadium gameday operations people have had “do a salmon race but this time humpy wins” up their sleeve as a break glass in case of emergency fire-up-the-crowd play

Yes www.seattletimes.com/sports/marin...

Did the Mariners finally win ALDS Game 5 because of Humpy the Salmon?

Humpy won his first ever Salmon Run Friday night -- just before the Mariners secured a win and advanced to the ALCS.

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

I LOVE THIS VISION AND SUPPORT IT FULLY 🫡

I feel like it goes to the 18th. No clue why. I’m just feeling like the late night chaos is the vibe.

the 7th inning of this game was HALF A GAME AGO

you KNOW my feelings about your perfect smol bean of a catcher whose last name I can spell on command 🥰

Sara @sportsandsuffering.bsky.social · 1d

oh look, it’s such a small sample size that yours is really the only rational stance. I’m in it for the chaos and narrative and vibes. 🥳

april I said this phrase so many times during my girls trip last weekend (while keeping up with the post season, obvi) that I had to explain the lore of Jen (diversity among our oppressors) and Angel Hernandez (boo hiss) to middle aged midwestern women who don’t know baseball.

Sara @sportsandsuffering.bsky.social · 1d

I said out loud that I feared our season was done when he went down for the season and I was not wrong to be afraid 😭

Sara @sportsandsuffering.bsky.social · 1d

the correct take is that it would be a perfect 10/10 bop if Tay had realized that she can’t carry off Sabrina Carpenter levels of raunchy and therefore cut the post-chorus.

jfc the most important thing any coach alive can know is when to shut the hell up and tell a guy “you keep on doing you—no notes.”
