The company’s Sora problem is really at the root of everything else.

The drama in that game was completely situationally dependent, which is great! But we don’t have to pretend that seeing hours of an ump and announcer show with sloppy play as the teams run completely out of pitchers is good for the sport *divorced* from that context

Everyone doing anti-Manfred Man discourse is forgetting the part where if that happened in a random June game there would’ve been 12 people left in the park and it would’ve been considered the most dreadful game of the year

Almost literally nothing happened for 7 innings. No good plays. Just nothing.

Truly one of the worst games I’ve ever watched most of.

That is one of the baseball games of all time

Antifa at the ballpark.

Raleigh just watched a meatball down the middle

Well I haven’t watched Kahnle blow a playoff game since uh last October so here it comes.

The future... The polar ice caps have melted, covering the Earth with water. Those who survived have adapted... to a new world…the Waterworld. Also, the Tigers and Mariners are still playing Game 5 of the ALDS somehow.

Some dude who did the 9/9/9 challenge is sober and hungry again.

the freaking Portland protest frog is warming up in the pen

It’s been 8 innings since Skubal’s 99th and final pitch.

God this sucks

This is part of why I like the regular season extra runner because .. in theory, extra inning games that go on very long sounds fun, but in practice, they all just start to look like *this.*

Every so often people still on X go “Wow, it’s really racist here now,” then go ahead and continue using the app.

After the 15th inning it is time to replace one player with a dog until someone wins or it's all dogs.

Rooting for a Blue Jays sweep after these teams subjected us to this dreck

Rooting for a Blue Jays sweep after these teams subjected us to this dreck

Time to settle this the way they used to settle 14-inning games in the regular season before the automatic runner: with a backup infielder on the mound for one team, and a 31-year-old rookie who is gonna get DFAed in the morning for the other.

I can’t even remember the last good play made by either team

Amin declaring this one of the best playoff games of the century and just, no. It's agonizing and tense but this is not "great." Neither was yesterday's imo.

the drama of a close, win or go home baseball game is close to unmatched, but *extra innings* baseball is probably the worst overtime of any sport, maybe basketball is worse with all the stoppages

there's just usually not many exciting plays. it's mostly guys messing up rather than beating other

Extra innings are normally incredibly anticlimactic until someone inevitably screws up
