Maybe I’m missing something, but is the Diamondbacks hype video set to the Nathan for You theme song? Am I imagining this pic.twitter.com/Z7ruRwgDaN— Alex Coffey (@byalexcoffey) October 19, 2023

perdomo chasing marté into center field at the end was so great

yeah that was super cute it looked like a little league thing

agree, very good finish to a weirdly "small ball" game
a young baby faced boy making the Phillies lineup look foolish for a good part of the game.
Marte's little bloop and camera cutting to Smith's reaction, the announcer mentioning the similarity to the end of the 2001 World Series, and I think they even showed Luis Gonzalez was at the stadium?

Even playing for dynasties, I thought Mantle and Reggie would have had far fewer PA. Yes and no: far fewer than most people on that list, but about equal with Springer and more than Schwarber.

I felt duty-bound to mention that--one of the few things I think Morbius and I agreed on was that all these post-season records have to be taken with a huge grain of salt now.

lol frogs
Mad confused why the have a bobcat instead of a snake as a mascot? Yeah obviously you'd have to pay the bloke double the wage to wriggle around on the floor rather than walk like the other mascots, but the price would be more than compensated by having the most iconically silly mascot in all of sports

I want to see a diamondback wriggle around the basepaths
it's kind of a desert animal theme: rattlesnakes, bobcats, Coyotes (NHL team)
and of course the Desert Cardinal

that reminds me, Chase Field used to be Bank One Ballpark, aka the "BOB"
So it may have been related to that - a BOBcat?
― felicity, Saturday, 21 October 2023 03:03 (two years ago)
oh lol, that's what your article said. Reading is hard.
yeah, that's referenced in the link above. They should really call him "Bank One Ballpark-Cat" for accuracy
