CJ Fogler @cjzero.bsky.social · 19h

Naylor then gets a huge jump and steals third, he would score on a sac fly

Yeah the first got scored when the second slowest guy in baseball just tore ass like a maniac towards third after taking a lead about halfway there for no particular reason I am able to see but he knew it would work so

Chill with the AI generating Mike

ian @ahandleforian.bsky.social · 14h

lol we won that game in part because Josh Naylor stole third running like a demonic ape. Baseball is really good when it’s good

Also pivotal role tonight from Dominic Canzone whose double fake at bat set up Rivas to tie the game

ian @ahandleforian.bsky.social · 15h

I am glad there was nobody around to record the embarrassing improvisational interpretative dance of joy and random celebratory kicks I just performed.

ian @ahandleforian.bsky.social · 15h

the real mvp tonight is AJ Hinch who could have just let Skubal strike out like 8 more guys without breaking a sweat, but wanted to make it interesting.

ian @ahandleforian.bsky.social · 15h

lol luke jackson gonna start game one

ian @ahandleforian.bsky.social · 15h

SEE WAS THAT SO FUCKING HARD

ian @ahandleforian.bsky.social · 15h

Randy getting hit by a pitch tonight is basically the best possible outcome for him

Ryan Rowland-Smith interrupted mid-broadcast by a batboy with a note from the dugout reading "how is your arm feeling lol, please be honest."

I’ve literally been pacing around outside for over an hour with my earbuds in muttering to myself. If we don’t score soon somebody is gonna call the cops and they won’t be wrong

ian @ahandleforian.bsky.social · 15h

Ok Bazardo you are redeemed

ian @ahandleforian.bsky.social · 16h

Gonna cut over and see randy johnson warming up in the bullpen here in a minute

Do I even want to watch more postseason baseball I’m not entirely sure

ian @ahandleforian.bsky.social · 16h

Ok ok well if we can’t answer the obvious question, then which team wants this LEAST?

ian @ahandleforian.bsky.social · 16h

Extra innings games are like penalty shootouts where you always miss but it takes like 5 minutes per kick

ian @ahandleforian.bsky.social · 17h

Every molecule in Robles body is telling him to steal third

ian @ahandleforian.bsky.social · 17h

Victor do not get thrown out stealing third

ian @ahandleforian.bsky.social · 17h

What if instead of extra innings if a team has a catcher with 60 home runs that is the first tiebreaker
