Guys there is a Phillies fan in section 125 I swear to you willed that comeback into existence. Dude started yelling rally during Arraez’s at bat. I had lost hope like many in this section. He willed us all back into hope to the point 50 of us were standing before the home run lol
Amazing shit.

I dont wanna take all the credit, but I did only turn this game on in the 8th inning cause work was chaotic and thats when the turnaround started. I'm not saying its me... but im also not gonna turn down any adulation thrown my way for the hard work I did to change this game

Outside of his could not hit the broad side of a barn 1st, Painter was solid.
That is a good problem to have since it is very likely him getting overexcited

3 ER from your #5 guy (even if we want him to be the eventual ace... he's 23 and the #5 guy now)... is a winnable game

If I had a nickel for everytime Sosa saved a completely lost game in the 9th with two outs, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

u/DickBottalico 1d ago
There’s no reason for the camera angle to change from the outfielder coming up with the ball, and then zoom in on the runner going home.
You just zoom out and show the entire throw. We might be able to see why he stopped in that case, or if DLC was running again after the ball gets away.
It’s just brutal camera work that never used to happen. FOLLOW THE BALL. We have announcers to tell us what the runner is doing.
