JORGE POLANCO WALKS IT OFF

Heather Rule @hlrule.bsky.social · 2h

Sicko checking in. 😊

Molly Knight @mollyknight.bsky.social · 3h

Everyone who watched all 15 innings of that game without a rooting interest is officially a baseball sicko.

Congrats or I’m sorry.

Dodgers/Phillies, followed up with Mariners/Tigers. Cinema.

What will Cubs/Brewers have in store for baseball fans next?

Nothing against Julio, but this interview can't compete with "daaaaaa Yankees lose!"

For the first time since 2001, a trip to the ALCS for Seattle. Twins were last there in 2002.

Jorge Polanco. Streak buster.

Heather Rule @hlrule.bsky.social · 3h

Hip, hip, Jorge!

Extra innings: Scoreless in Seattle

Heather Rule @hlrule.bsky.social · 4h

How many ABs in extras for both teams, with a runner at second and less than two outs? Gotta be a lot.

Anoka football falls to 0-7 after losing games the past three weeks by 1 point, 1 point and 3 points.

They're talking about the nickname "Señor Smoke" in the ALDS broadcast but somehow didn't mention Juan Berenguer?

Heather Rule @hlrule.bsky.social · 5h

He's not alone in that frustration.

Meghan L. Hall @itsmeghanlhall.bsky.social · 5h

Nate Tibbetts said he “can’t remember” what he said to the ref to get an ejection, but said he was frustrated about the inconsistency from the officiating.

Bring out the commish in her Vegas-strip dress.

Garver with a sac fly for the first run, Polanco scores the second run for the Mariners.

Former Twins 🤝

Lots of sports, flip over to wnba finals... and the Mercury coach is ejected with a "refs you suck!" chant from the crowd.

So there's that.

Vegas leading looking to sweep the first best-of-seven finals.

I love it so much.

Ortiz was absolutely loving this sitting between AROD and Jeter

Heather Rule @hlrule.bsky.social · 2d

Vlad Jr. saying "Da Yankees lose!" ala David Ortiz, WITH David Oritz, in the postgame is hilarious. 😂

Heather Rule @hlrule.bsky.social · 2d

Also the talk of Judge answering everything except getting his first ring. Like it's owed to him. Plenty of good baseball players never won a championship.

Heather Rule @hlrule.bsky.social · 2d

Despite its best efforts, the broadcast will not get a large contingent of baseball fans to feel sorry about the World Series drought of... the NY Yankees.

Heather Rule @hlrule.bsky.social · 2d

Had a dream last night that I took a job making $11 an hour. Cool.

News: Louis Varland will start tomorrow for the #BlueJays

Heather Rule @hlrule.bsky.social · 3d

Playoff series are all about momentum. Game by game. Sure, nobody wants to trail in a series or have true must-win situations.

But look what can happen. Anything. Pressure shifts. Get one win. That's what's fun - or frustrating, maddening or exhilarating - about sports.

Heather Rule @hlrule.bsky.social · 3d

You can take Varland out of Minnesota, but you can't take the Minnesota outta him...

CJ Fogler @cjzero.bsky.social · 3d

Aaron Judge hits a 3 run HR off the fair pole to tie it

Heather Rule @hlrule.bsky.social · 3d

The obsession with the best player needing a "moment."

He hits the homer 5 minutes ago, and pretty sure they've said "moment" 27 times on the broadcast.
