I did this. We did this. Not so much the players.

I stood behind the lazy boy for 4 innings. I did my part

Feels like ‘08

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Ringing that second out up lol

Are we really sure we want robot umps?

Reverse jinx. No worries

 

[DancingPanther]

Are we really sure we want robot umps?

Yes but turn them off during no hitters

 

[Cody Webster]

On an question unrelated to this beautiful game tonight, do we know/think Dykstra got an invite to alumni weekend?

 

[Magua]

How many hits is Nola giving up tomorrow?

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

How many hits is Nola giving up tomorrow?

He has to make up for today for giving up more tomorrow.

 

[DancingPanther]

How many hits is Nola giving up tomorrow?

Nola will give up more homers by the top of the 2nd inning than Lorenzen gave up hits tonight

The randomness of the players seen on screen here is astoundingly hilarious.

Turned it on in the 7th. Never left my chair! The video of mom, wife and baby was tear worthy

Did you see Wilson's dad crying from his son hitting a homer in his first major league at bat?

This game had #Levels.

Shit, this one made me cry too

 

[Svechhammer]

Sometimes I REALLY hate that the Nats black out all their games in my area

Could be big if Wilson keeps up his 5.000 OPS

It’s even worse if you read the background on it. Alcoholic, criminal record, deserted the family.

McCarthy was so hungry to create an emotional moment.

Did a little reading and Lorenzen changed his bullpen walk out song to Who Are You, in honor of his dad's favorite band. Sounds like he skipped town because of grand theft arrest warrants and still kept in touch occasionally. Lorenzen said he would remind his dad that he forgave him plenty of times and he "understood the struggle"

So, definitely emotional for him, it's not an Eminem ordeal. And above all, still a stupid f***ing question

Tommy's always been a smooth operator.

Had a feeling. Awesome effort

Ben Davis used the word “we” when describing not shaking off your catcher.

There is nothing I would not shake off from that man. Baseball, choice of cereal, air quality reports, you name it.

@DancingPanther I wasn't lying.

I swear this is a real 19th century baseball player.

Bumpus Jones

Someone name their kid Bumpus again. Please

Amount of ranch dressing tops the list.

I picked up on that immediately. Dude hasn't caught in 2 decades

@DancingPanther I wasn't lying.
