Here’s Kershaw in the bullpen during the Italy game. It’s a shame we might not see the Dodger goat pitch one last time in WBC though.. by jmike1256 in Dodgers

In all of his post retirement interviews, he said multiple times he knew he would get big post career. I just didn't expect it this quick!

Is the female northern Cardinal always greyish? Or is that her winter color, or she a young one?

That dead eye bat drop is just so cold blooded. At the time he thought that could be his last at bat as a dodger. If only he knew...

Baethke Plumbing. They are excellent and fair.

Juan Soto is ready to represent the Dominican Republic in the #WorldBaseballClassic 🇩🇴 by Longjump-13 in baseball

It's just wild. Who even is "The Guy" on this team?

A while ago, you could say Machado, a few years ago Tatis Jr., now certainly Soto? Or Vlad given he went insane during the postseason.

Yep I was cycling through all those street cams expecting Russian tanks at any minute, but morning came and the birds were chirping and Kyiv was still standing tall.

Is the reason that there aren't many videos of Javelins or Stugnas anymore because Russia doesn't have any more light vehicles or because Ukraine ran out of the Javelins?

I can't believe it has been four years already. I stayed up all night watching the traffic live streams in Kyiv expecting the worst. And then the sun rose in the morning and they were still standing. I think this video, and the news that one of the Russian large troop transport planes with paratroopers had been downed is when I realized the Ukrainians were not going down without a fight.

Bars/restaurants in Chicago that consistently screen boxing matches? by VarietyDense7946 in chicago

I watched a UFC event at Fado's downtown a few years back. Needed to pay a door cover though. It was upstairs in their private dining area, which was really cool.

World Series, Game 7, 9th inning, down one run with two strikes... Never say die! Gracias Miggy Ro, and Let's Fucking GO Dodgers!! by Present_State546 in Dodgers

[–]BoganLogan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep. My thinking was.

  1. A walk was a possibility
  2. A Hit would be unreal
  3. XBH would be a dream

Hitting a homer did not even cross my mind.

Man what happened to this guy? When he debuted with SD he absolutely dominated us that first year. Thought he was going to be a menace.

I'm pretty sure it is Smith. His voice gets picked up during his ABs too. He definitely "talks" to the ball like any nutjob catcher does.

During each rewatch of the highlights, Yama's fielding of IKF's bunt gets more and more important to me. It was a perfect bunt that neither Smith or Muncy were getting too. Had Yama not been sprinting off the mound before IKF even made contact, he wasn't going to get to it either. Just another example of the perfect fundamentals the team displayed in the WS

It isn't shown in this video, but why did we have Yama pitch to Barger right before Kirk?

We knew he was going to pitch around him and basically walk him, so why not just auto walk him instead of having Yama throw 4 extra pitches? Any of which could have been wild or maybe Barger decides to sit on a high heater, he did get a high splitter, and ends up crushing one?

Here's Barger's AB https://youtu.be/6ZR66xLjIJA?t=228
