Some of the names in the Royals bullpen (Bubic, Erceg) sound like they were made up by a 90s baseball video game designer.

The Brewers are giving their fans a heavy dose of Here we go again!  

 

Win the division, gets the fans' hopes up and then choke in the early post-season.  Same as it ever was....

Ten worst called strikes of the season.  Many of the names on this list will be familiar.

 

Of course, Eric Gregg might have approached this level of incompetence every time Madfux or Glavine took the hill.

Astros lose, their season is over.

 

[invisible airwave]

Trashstros eliminated!  

[laughedatbytime]

O no!

 

Royals move on, as the Os score only 1 run in two games.

Fundamental baseball, Frankie Montas.  On a routine play at 1st base, you CATCH the ball and then step on the base for the easy out.  

 

Montas:  Oh, yeah.  I forgot.

We're cornering the market on Slavs.

20-year old Jackson Chourio just hit his second opposite field home run of the game, tying the game at 3-3.

Great win for the Brewers, it was looking bleak for a while.     Garrett Mitchell was an unlikely hero for sure.

More on Garrett from Microsoft Co-pilot.   I don't think we have to worry about AI taking over all that soon.

 

Garrett Mitchell is universally loved in baseball circles, and he has turned into one of the most recognizable figures in all of the baseballs.

[Principled Man]

26-year old Garrett Mitchell (a rookie) during the post-game interview, referred to 20-year old Jackson Chourio as “the kid”….

All of the baseballs? Hmm, quite a claim, there, AI Botbotson.

"If you mean to strand Mitchell then I won't do it!"

Im routing for the Cleveland Guardians, all the players  with Stephen Vogt and retired Terry Francona   

[HemiBeers]

AJ Hinch channeling Dan Campbell crazy by putting in Jobe in a one run game in the 7th. Whoaaaa there fella! Yeah he's rated the #1 pitching prospect but save him for next year or blow-out playoff games. 

 

I wonder if Hinch stumbled upon a new trend by hoarding pitchers and using 4-5 of them on his bullpen days.

Those are the City Connect uniforms. We got lucky; some of those designs are pretty ass, but ours are just pretty.

My team, the Rangers, have terrible City Connect uniforms.  Maybe the worst.

The Athletics are the worst, the players have to go shirtless.

No Jedi in the Brewers’ lineup tonight.  NO PATIENCE!  Swinging at ball four again and again….
