If any city knows how to handle tyrants, we do. We did it in 1776 and we can do it again in 2025.

I think a good strategy would be for them to simply score more runs than the Blue Jays.

Logan Gilbert gets the nod for #ALCS Game 6 as the Mariners go for their first pennant. Blue Jays counter with Trey Yesavage. #MLB #Postseason

Glad everyone made it through the #NoKings protests safely. #EightySixFortySeven

I'm sad there's no baseball tonight. But tomorrow... tomorrow's the biggest game (except maybe the one that saved Seattle baseball) in Mariners history. Tomorrow they go for the pennant!!! Might as well go win the whole fuckin thing!!! #SeizeTheMoment #TridentsUp🔱

They'll also be told about how he gambled on baseball and got away with it because the rules don't apply to him.

Eric Segall @espinsegall.bsky.social · 21h

So, umm, last night an actual human being pitched 6 scoreless innings and hit 3 home runs in a playoff game.
Your grandkids will be told about this.

It's gonna be a long offseason in Milwaukee as they try to figure out what went wrong after they went from the best record in baseball to one of the worst playoff performances in recent memory and getting swept.

Seattle's now closer than they've ever been to the World Series and finally get over the hump in Game 6 in Toronto on Sunday.

▪️The defending champion Dodgers are back in the World Series after finishing off a sweep of the Brewers in #NLCS Game 4.

▪️After not being able to do, well, anything against the Blue Jays in back-to-back games, the Mariners flexed their muscle and won #ALCS Game 5 thanks to a Cal Raleigh solo shot and a Eugenio Suarez grand slam.

We should thank them for being the reason we finally get a salary cap.

Look at that swing. He wasn't trying to crush it. He wasn't even trying to hit a home run. His goal was to put the ball in play and drive in a run. Like my coach used to say...put the ball in play and good things will happen!

"You're not a real baseball fan if you don't appreciate Ohtani." False. The fact that I loathe him because he disgraced baseball by gambling and getting away with it makes me more of a real fan than you'll ever be.

⚾The Baseball Guy⚾ @thebaseballguy.bsky.social · 1d

I refuse to "appreciate" someone who flouted the rules, gambled on baseball, and would've been banned had he not been Manfred's golden goose.

⚾The Baseball Guy⚾ @thebaseballguy.bsky.social · 1d

I don't care what he does. He gambled on baseball and should've been banned. The only reason he wasn't is because Manfred didn't wanna lose the golden goose who puts butts in the seats. If he played for the A's, he'd have gotten what he deserved.

Codify Baseball @codifybaseball.bsky.social · 1d

Remember when you hear the comparisons of Shohei Ohtani to Babe Ruth that the Babe never once struck out more than 3 batters in a season that he hit 30+ homers. It's true.

No one's ever done anything like this before.

You can't make this stuff up. This is a level of delusion no one's even thought of before. First, Springer wasn't "taken out." Two, comparing him to Gibson is an insult because Gibson wasn't a cheater who disgraced the game of baseball.

Indira इंदिरा Balkissoon @indirabalki.bsky.social · 1d

When the #BlueJays win this thing - it will the stuff of legends ... People will be remembering how George Springer was taken out, and could you imagine Bo Bichette comes in as a pinch-hitter and the becomes Kirk Gibson, he couldn't walk to the plate he was in so much discomfort

⚾The Baseball Guy⚾ @thebaseballguy.bsky.social · 1d

Why am I not surprised people are already running with the "Woo hit Springer on purpose" BS. It was an accidental, fluke play. And while I won't celebrate him getting hurt (being that he's a dirty rotten cheater), I'm not gonna be broken up about it either.

⚾The Baseball Guy⚾ @thebaseballguy.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah. Cause he ACCIDENTALLY got hit by a pitch. It happens. Holy crap are you new to baseball?

⚾The Baseball Guy⚾ @thebaseballguy.bsky.social · 1d

He didn't hurt him. Not Woo's fault at all. It was a freak play.

⚾The Baseball Guy⚾ @thebaseballguy.bsky.social · 1d

Y'all acting like Woo hit him on purpose.
