That was beautiful. 41 baby!!!!

There's no way Alonso beats that. Julio went HAM

Damn. I guess it's Arozarena for me then. Anyone but Vlad.

Gotta put my team Mexico jersey on now 😂

Those jerseys were 🔥🔥

Big brain take: they juiced the balls for the Home Town Hero!! You heard it here first!

[–] JJhonson@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How cool would it be if he won it!

100% rooting for Julio now.

[–] headie_sage@fanaticus.social 4 points 1 year ago

JFC Julio is crushing it! Shout out to Peña spotting that ball perfectly every time! Do you see that little spin he's putting on the ball? Looks like he's hanging a slider with no break right over the plate.

[–] goldenslumpbuster@fanaticus.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alonso needs another pitcher. Call to the bullpen brought to you by T-Mobile

[–] headie_sage@fanaticus.social 4 points 1 year ago

That pitch away is just not working for Alonso

You think?

[–] JJhonson@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wtf Luis Robert that was CRAZY

[–] headie_sage@fanaticus.social 2 points 1 year ago

Such a sweet swing. I'm not sure he even broke a sweat

[–] headie_sage@fanaticus.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Watch out for a dad pitching to his son 👀 Rutschman 👀

What was that, 7/8 from the other side of the plate? The guy handicapped himself in the first 3/4 of the round!

[–] headie_sage@fanaticus.social 3 points 1 year ago

Randy's gonna hit 40 too! He was on fire in that last 30 seconds

[–] headie_sage@fanaticus.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Quick aside: is anyone using the "Chat feature?"

Not really. It flattens the comment threads and sorts by new. More like a chat room than a typical lemmy thread

[–] JJhonson@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Coach not pitching too well for Robert 😬

[–] kvn@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like rooting for the underdogs and I think Arozarena and Garcia are both going to surprise some people so I wouldn't mind seeing one of them win it.

Alternatively it would definitely be fun if Julio wins it at home.

[–] headie_sage@fanaticus.social 2 points 1 year ago

If not Randy, then I'm rooting for Julio to take down Petey.

[–] headie_sage@fanaticus.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm so torn. I feel like I need to root for Alonso because he's out there reppin' the Dad Bod for all of us but then again, the young guys are so much fun to watch!

[–] JJhonson@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Ikr! Adolis' pop is kinda crazy rn

[–] JJhonson@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Damn Mookie come on man LOL

[–] headie_sage@fanaticus.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

FR though I love Mookie. Guy's a ball player. Funny to see him next to Vladdy though.

[–] JJhonson@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Vladdy is just huge 😅

[–] headie_sage@fanaticus.social 2 points 1 year ago

Not enough meat!

[–] headie_sage@fanaticus.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Playoff Randy vs Smooth LouBob

[–] goldenslumpbuster@fanaticus.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pulling for Robert here. He looked really good in the first round.

[–] headie_sage@fanaticus.social 3 points 1 year ago

Well rested too. 27 before the bonus

Randy should've slowed down a tad haha

He was really hitting them quick there. Just didn't have the power at the end.

[–] headie_sage@fanaticus.social 2 points 1 year ago

Well at least it was exciting to the end!

[–] headie_sage@fanaticus.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How many homers do you think Marshawn can hit?

[–] 999@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

He was just there so he wouldn't get fined.

[–] JJhonson@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Go Mookie! If not Mookie, would love to see Randy or Julio win it all

[–] headie_sage@fanaticus.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mookie ain't got enough meat on his bones!

[–] JJhonson@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Ay you'd be surprised! Big arms, compact swing can take him a long way :)
