  1. Can I just say, I fucking love watching Mitch Garver bat. None of this stepping out of the box, fixing your uniform, adjusting your gloves, smelling your balls, fixing your hair diva bullshit. Just stands in the box and fuckin grips it and rips it. That’s a real man playing some real fuckin baseball right there. Just stands in the box and dares you to fuckin throw one over the plate. None of this pansy ass waiting for walks bullshit. Real men hit dingers. Real men spit. Real men scratch their assholes and make other guys smell it. That’s some real goddamn baseball right there. Fuckin love Garver.

  9. The emotion on that last bat is incredible. The catharsis when he was running is so real

  15. I didn’t watch the game. I didn’t follow the game online on Gameday. I didn’t follow on social media till about 20 minutes ago.

    If this is how its gonna be, I guess I’m going offline until a playoff spot is clinched…

    Sacrifices for the team I guess ^^^maybe ^^^not ^^^I ^^^can’t ^^^not ^^^watch ^^^this ^^^team

  22. This may be the break we needed. One swing away from 5 Ks and launches a high inside FB, the one they have been getting him on. Weight of the word off him in one swing. And Garver continues to kill it.

  26. Hopefully this gives us some momentum going into the series against the Astros. That’s the kind of win that could turn the season around.

  28. I talked shit about Adolis but I’m going to watch that walk off celebration 10 times before bed

  32. I missed the end of this one because I was getting ready for work. You’re all welcome!

    Also the call on Bombi’s walk off is one of the best broadcast calls I’ve seen in ages!

  33. When El Bombi hit that homer, he looked like he was unleashing a lot of frustration from the team’s struggles on that ball! A walkoff with authority!

  34. Please, ride this momentum into the trash can series. It’s gonna be tough but MAYBE we can salvage something from this season

  38. I will hear no Dave Raymond slander. What call. That one is going to live in my memory for a while.

  41. Went to my first game today in years and they won, guess I’ll have to go to the rest of the game 🫡
