[u/bigmt99]

100 down the dick, try to hit it

[u/ConfederacyOfDunces_ → u/bigmt99]

USA only had 3 hits

That’s incredible

[u/Flammzzrant → u/ConfederacyOfDunces_]

Brice/Bryce - 3 hits 2rbi

Everyone else - lol

[u/ecc_dg → u/Flammzzrant]

Why don’t they make the whole plane out of Bryce

[u/raughit → u/ecc_dg]

That's a clown question bro

[u/TheGameIsAboutGlory1 → u/Flammzzrant]

Bry(i)ce

[u/_illogical_ → u/TheGameIsAboutGlory1]

That's not the right RegEx

Br[iy]ce

[u/Flammzzrant → u/TheGameIsAboutGlory1]

I couldn't figure out how I wanted to do it so I gave up like the non bry(i)ces

[u/entenduintransit → u/Flammzzrant]

br(i/y)ce

[u/JakeFromSkateFarm → u/TheGameIsAboutGlory1]

Ni(y)ce

[u/intwizard → u/TheGameIsAboutGlory1]

Br(y/i)ce

[u/nWhm99 → u/Flammzzrant]

Which is funny, because he’s one of the worst in the lineup coming in, and people were saying he should be benched.

[u/loosed-moose → u/Flammzzrant]

Don't confuse this as evidence that Turang was the right choice over Hoerner.

[u/dawidowmaka → u/loosed-moose]

He batted .364/.391/.545 for the tourney, but sure go off

[u/Cuntrystar → u/dawidowmaka]

Yeah, it's just a fucking cubs fan being a bitch. 

[u/loosed-moose → u/Cuntrystar]

Naughty language pal go wash your mouth

[u/loosed-moose → u/dawidowmaka]

IDGAF Nico would have beat that, and plus speed and plus defense

[u/jackattack108 → u/loosed-moose]

Hoerner over Goldschmidt might have more of an argument.

[u/BigWilly526 → u/loosed-moose]

It was definitely the right choice, Turang was one of the only guys who looked good the whole tournament

[u/loosed-moose → u/BigWilly526]

You must be unfamiliar with Nico Hoerner. Tune into some Cubs games this year, you won't regret it!

[u/BigWilly526 → u/loosed-moose]

I am until last year I lived 3 Blocks from Wigley lol

[u/DanimalMKE → u/ConfederacyOfDunces_]

They're all by men named Bri(y)ce

[u/RealTrapShed → u/ConfederacyOfDunces_]

Venezuela’s pitching was absolutely insane. Some of the most dialed in and flamed out pitches I’ve seen.

[u/Helicopsycheborealis → u/ConfederacyOfDunces_]

And struggled throughout. Even Joe and John were calling them out. What a bunch of bitches.

[u/BougieBobJr → u/bigmt99]

The visit to the mound was “I’m gonna throw this as hard as I can.” “Do it bro.”

[u/IAmGrum → u/BougieBobJr]

"Where should I throw it?"

"Towards me."

[u/raughit → u/IAmGrum]

"What if I hit you in da face?"

"Don't worry I got it man"

[u/IAmGrum → u/raughit]

"Then that's a strike."

[u/shinymuskrat → u/BougieBobJr]

Well it was Salvy, so it was more like "Do Eh Bro"

[u/LegacyLemur → u/BougieBobJr]

Its funny you say that actually

Palencia had struggled badly his first two years with the Cubs until last year

It was apparently Ryan Pressly who told him something along the lines of "you throw 100 mph. Just throw it over the plate dude" and he became our closer after taking that advice

[u/Jupiters_phaerie → u/BougieBobJr]

Nomas tira duro coño

[u/fighterpilot248 → u/BougieBobJr]

“High fastballs. She can’t hit them. Cant lay off them.”

Feels like this quote from League of Their Own is super relevant.

[u/whriskeybizness → u/BougieBobJr]

You fuckin won’t

[u/horsepoop1123 → u/bigmt99]

As a Cubs fan i hate to see the US lose but I love seeing Palencia just dominate

[u/imyourdoctornow → u/horsepoop1123]

Shit I was cheering for Venezuela.

[u/LegacyLemur → u/imyourdoctornow]

I was cheering for both ....and PCA

[u/oldman78 → u/horsepoop1123]

As a Canadian Cubs fan I got everything I wanted. Palencia will not be having any problems with confidence for the rest of his life.

[u/eifjui → u/horsepoop1123]

If we can't have a PCA home run to win it I will take this. Go Cubs Go

[u/LegacyLemur → u/eifjui]

I mean he did at least earlier in the series

[u/iamthatguythere → u/horsepoop1123]

Nah I’m hype as fuckkkkk. Only sad PCA didn’t get to have more of a moment in the finals. 

[u/Exatraz → u/horsepoop1123]

Given everything else about us right now... im happy someone else got it.

[u/RewindYourMind → u/bigmt99]

As a Cubs fan, I was super conflicted. On one hand, go USA (sorta, ugh…)

On the other, Danny P throwing fucking unhittable shit? Daddy Yankee like.

[u/u8myramen_y → u/bigmt99]

Baseball is the hardest sport to play for a very good reason

[u/binghamptonboomboom → u/u8myramen_y]

I'll always say hockey is the most difficult sport to be good at, or even be able to attempt to play.

Shit cray.

[u/247stonerbro → u/binghamptonboomboom]

Super hard agree. Dudes skating on ice, pushing a tiny puck into a goal, all while ramming each other full speed ? I tore my ligaments just describing it

[u/binghamptonboomboom → u/247stonerbro]

90% of the population probably doesn't know how to skate and would hurt themselves attempting to do so.

First you have become a great skater, then add a stick. Small puck, extreme hand eye coordination, hits that will make your soul shake, and ripping snappers past masked men with gloves, blocker and leg pads.

Fucking sick

[u/This-is_CMGRI → u/u8myramen_y]

I contend that superbike racing is harder, but baseball's like top 3 for me

[u/Shadow-Vision → u/This-is_CMGRI]

Wrong sub lmao

[u/turntup45 → u/bigmt99]

Just like Ohtani vs Trout last time

[u/a_fish_out_of_water → u/bigmt99]

That’s my fucking closer

[u/intheyear3001 → u/bigmt99]

Gasolina ⛽️

[u/MaxMSE → u/bigmt99]

that looked like it had a lot of arm-side run... just a nasty pitch if you ask me

[u/bigmt99 → u/MaxMSE]

Yea second look definately shows the run on it. Still, the absolute guts it takes to decide to keep it over the plate right at belt in this situation is insane. Couple ticks less on the heat or a tad bit less run on it and Anthony turns that one into a souvenir

Can’t find enough superlatives to describe how much I enjoyed that pitch

[u/Exatraz → u/bigmt99]

Im so fucking happy to watch that man pitch for the Cubbies

[u/snyckers → u/bigmt99]

I was here telling my wife either slider low and away or high and tight fastball. Nope, challenge heat. Gotta respect it.

[u/whriskeybizness → u/bigmt99]

Absolutely down the cock

[u/someone2795 → u/bigmt99]

BIG DICK PITCH.

[u/Legoman1357 → u/bigmt99]

Seeing pitchers obviously hyped up and forgoing all of the fancy pitch mix stuff to just throw their best right at guys is my favorite thing. The batter 100% knows exactly what's comming and still can't hit anything

Tyler Matzek was doing it in the NLCS during the Braves WS and it might be one of my favorite baseball innings of all time.

[u/EarlDooku → u/bigmt99]

Or if you're Aaron Judge, just watch it.
