What I find most impressive is the accuracy. He basically hits the glove in the perfect position to apply the tag. Of he’s off just a little runner is safe. To throw that hard that accurate, off a backhanded short hop no less

The #2 sport in the world is actually cricket.

No way dude. Baseball is basically an American sport plus a few countries where the army exported it. Basketball is way more international. You are again very far off base.

Baseball is only an Olympic sport when the Olympics is in the USA.

You would be widely off with that guess. A simple search shows 72% of players are born in the US. Ie large majority are American.

Great piece Mike. I really enjoyed it.

💯

lol. They have done three of them already, let’s save it now for the big one! As an aside, since they’ve done champagne for every round, what would they use for the World Series if they won? Anything more “special”?

I don’t disagree, but I prefer the mentality that there is still work to do and let’s focus on that, not jumping around pouring beer over each other over winning a quarterfinal…I am admittedly old school that way.

I am old enough to remember when you celebrated only at the end of the regular season and World Series. Imagine if hockey celebrated like that after every round. They don’t so why does baseball? #grumpyoldman

I had the same thought. What has this gone done to deserve playing time over Lukes or Straw?
