Come anticipate the World Baseball Classic with me

hey i didn’t say it’d be pleasant to be in there lol

I haven't watched any of these games and was getting excited about tuning in tonight until I realized it's on Fox Sports

John Smoltz, you were my hero when you pitched for the Barves, but god DAMN man could you PLEASE shut the fuck UP

Update: watching at hoops

Sitting in the “Japan” section - so this will be fun

Schwarbomb

So - Ohtani innthe 9th?!

ohtani vs trout should be fun

Another amazing ending

was hoping they'd meet in the middle and hug like on that hockey episode of the Simpsons

That was a good game but imho the Mexico game had a bit of everything any real baseball fan could ask for.

Also, not looking forward to the incoming hazing for the next couple weeks haha. Already getting taunted 3.5 days before arrival.

what a ninth!!!

also just want to say i love schwarbs so much.

but man ohtani. fuckin a. the dream.

While Sandy Koufax was striking out Willie Mays last night in the AB of the century, I was sitting with my brother-in-law at a G League basketball game--I'd gotten us tickets for his birthday--watching the Raptors 905 try to secure a 15-15 record in their last game of the season. They did. It was thrilling.

lol are you really shitting on that at-bat

i mean i'm happy that you had a good time at a basketball game but read the room dog

Look at this legend.

The country has also fallen in love with Nootbaar’s pepper-grinder celebration, a move nearly every Japan player now does after big plays. Pepper-grinder sales in the nation have actually increased by 15% over the past few days. Fans bring them to the ballpark or shake them at sports bars while tuned into the WBC.

Tracer: I thought the self-deprecation was obvious there. I'll include emojis and arrows next time, promise.

no need! the sarcasm on “AB of the century” came across loud and clear!

That was not meant sarcastically at all. Surprised I have to explain this, not surprised you'd feel the need to make an issue of it.

well i'm surprised and delighted you consider that the AB of the century. it was pretty great.

in other news how good was Yoshida?? most ribbies in the tournament. looking forward to watching him out in from of the Monster with his flashy throws back to the infield.

The Red Sox Instagram has been posting highlights of him all tournament along with all their other guys on teams! Incidentally, I thought of you when I saw that someone in one of the games had no hits but an orr bee eye on account of having hit a sac fly.
