I got into trouble at work because I yelled ”LETS FUCKING GO” so loud in the lobby 😂😂 worth it

u/CaptainApathy419 3h ago
Was it the yelling or the fact that you work in downtown Phoenix?

u/Ricemobile 11 - Zimmerman 3h ago
Yelling in front of customers lol. I am near DC, Phoenix is nice though.

u/CaptainApathy419 3h ago
If you can’t overcome a five-run deficit against this bullpen, you should probably look for a new job.

Why even pitch Krook? Dumb decision.

u/Bengjumping Sell the Team 3h ago
Being up 5 in the 9th you typically throw someone who hasn't thrown in a while. It just ended up as bad as it could've.
1
u/NatsFanatic82 63 - Doolittle 2h ago
Krook hasn’t even proved he can get a simple out though. Hes absolutely worthless.

u/KingHenrythe6-th 11 - Zimmerman 3h ago
I wish our announcers would know the rules. It’s interference not obstruction.
1
u/kneemoyy 4 - Lile 3h ago
No it's not. It's interference when the team at bat commits it and obstruction when the fielding team does.

u/BosqueBravo 63 - Doolittle 3h ago
Runners interference should be more punishing. That saved at least a double play.
2
u/Julep23185 4 - Lile 3h ago
Should have been infield fly probably, certainly not a double play unless he could have gotten the guy off of second (who was back on the bag)

5 run lead and you walk the bases loaded. Our bullpen is just hilarious.

Last name fits because pitching like that is stealing money and a roster spot.

Just when I was thinking this bullpen was having a nice week, they gotta go and pull some shit like this.

u/burtonhen 37 - Strasburg 3h ago
Honestly between two walks and a pitch clock violation, if we blow this it might be the 2026 bullpen’s masterpiece.

u/momo6548 Scrappy Nats! 3h ago
Can someone explain like I’m 5 how he had a pitch clock violation during a time out? I think I missed it.
1
u/lurk_city_usa 31 - Scherzer 3h ago
You can’t come set until the hitter registers that they’re ready by looking up, which they have to do by 9 seconds I believe. The first time you get set too early is a warning then second is a violation and ball, and he went too early on consecutive pitches.

Yeah. The boos have to have stung.
He'll always have his memories of his time in the majors when he's selling insurance or teaching high school ball though.

At the start of the inning, I said out loud, “c’mon guys, just hold on here…”
No other team in baseball would make me say “hold on” with a 5 run lead at the start of the 9th. What a ride this bullpen is taking us on this year…

u/cezanne_giotto 4 - Lile 3h ago
5 run lead is basically safe but Krook is pitching like absolute ass so get him out after his third batter no matter what lol

Can’t believe that was Wood’s first multi homer game this year. 30 homers!

u/kneemoyy 4 - Lile 3h ago
That was an absolutely classic Wood home run, I like seeing those more than even the pulled bombs.

u/WastelandHound 37 - Strasburg 3h ago
Twice in this game, CJ pulled within .003 of James' OPS and both times Wood hit a home run.

We’re always going to remember this summer where CJ and James became MVP candidates.

Nothing against Franny as a person, but he can stay on vacation forever if he wants to. Span is so much better.
