MLB 2025 Season

Shitty ending but by far the most intense/amazing sporting event I've ever attended. Saw Eddie walking along the catwalk behind the suites from my back of the lower level seats. Yelled Eddie and got him to stop and raise his hand up at my wife and I. Amazing moment amongst many tonight. Hope Cubs can tie it up tomorrow so when I go back Sunday it's a swing game.

great game

LOL. You should come join me in the white sox thread where it's just me and I mainly just talk to myself about how terrible the Sox are

I just hope the Cubs lose it all with some painful Bill Buckner like moment.

I did, but I've softened a bit. Seeing the multiple generations and the old guys got to me a little. My grandpa, was barely old enough to remember '45 and my uncle follows them year in/year out and just has an incredible amount of baseball knowledge, so theres a few people I'd be happy for, but so many other fans(my mother included) have made it a point to tell me "Go!! Team that is playing the Cardinals" over the last several years. For the record, don't mind them rooting against my team, but I don't need to hear smack talk when their team is of little consequence.

Couldn't ever root for them, but I'm about as close as I'll ever be.

I guess this is going to be Cleveland's year

Thanks for the fucking jinx!

This Indians team is amazing. Straight up dominating 3 straight very very good teams

surprised Verizon is still airing the bryce harper commercial.....

can someone explain to me why the Cleveland catcher throws the ball down to first on every 3rd out strikeout even if there is no dropped ball? it's kind of annoying.

and i'll probably get a bit of shit for this but I think the Cubs fans have been kind of lame. when your team is scuffling on offense make your presence felt and make more fucking noise. i know they are nervous and expecting bad things but at bats like Zobrist's in the 3rd tonight down 3-1 with 2 runs on you have to be on your feet going ape shit to rattle the pitcher a bit. they seemed to stand and cheer a lot more for their pitcher than for their hitters. make a difference Cubs fans. just my observation from tv although i don't think the tv captures the full feel of the stadium. i remember when the Phillies were in the playoffs it was much crazier in the ballpark than what showed on tv.

Cleveland is what now 10-2 in the playoffs? crazy how good they have been in every aspect. they don't make many mistakes.

I've watched him all year and I still don't know why Perez does that. Maybe he just likes to get one more throw in, regardless if it's a drop. I agree it's unusual but considering how friggin' awesome he has been behind the plate, I'm not criticizing. Look at the way he 'frames' a pitch vs. Contreras. Wilson moves it like 4 inches, super obvious. Perez rotates his wrist so when he catches it, the glove moves towards the plate. The guy has super subtle skills. We just need a little more bat from him.
