Unfortunately this has come up again, and in the worst possible context for me, so I’m going to pin it for easy reference.

If you were to guess that any random white baseball player was a MAGA shithead, you’d be right way more often than you’d be wrong.

The Mariners move on to the ALCS!

Uh-huh.

And if it’s the Tigers, it’ll be Bobo Newsom. Or Schoolboy Rowe.

If the Mariners advance they’re going to have to start Mark Langston in Game 1. Or maybe Erik Hanson.

What's the point of replay if you're going to get the call wrong? That 1000% hit the bat first.

Reposting for the Stan Hack mention. And they’re both #Cubs #Legends.

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

Former Cub at the plate and a former Cub on third base, and the contact play worked just as well as it does for the Cubs.

This is fantastic baseball but if the Cubs could go ahead and make it boring tomorrow and win like 15-0 that would be great.

Reminds me of a TV graphic I saw when Kyle Schwarber hit his 4th postseason HR in 2015 to tie him for most in franchise history with Aramis Ramirez (fine) and Alex Gonzalez (oof).

Frustrated Fan @frustratedfan.bsky.social · 1d

Daniel Palencia now has 3 postseason wins, tying him with Jon Lester and Orval Overall on the franchise’s all-time leaderboard behind only Jake Arrieta and Mordecai Brown (5 each).
