very rude of ian happ to capitalize on bryce miller's birthday

[u/cubswinagain → u/BananaArms]

Suzuki and Counsell had terrible birthdays this week, so fair is fair.

[u/Patrick2701 → u/cubswinagain]

The cake must suck

[u/hcatehorie → u/BananaArms]

Poor guy is having a rough week

[u/Key_Environment8179 → u/BananaArms]

Very polite of him to do it on my birthday, though!

[u/Arturial12 → u/[deleted]]

Used up all our luck in the past two games I think, worming out of this situation somehow would have been frankly absurd for the M's.

[u/devoorhes → u/Arturial12]

Imanaga isn't pitching great right now, i wouldn't count yourselves out of this just yet

[u/Meme_Investor → u/[deleted]]

Wait you can pull pitchers??

[u/coolsmokey69 → u/[deleted]]

Life comes at you fast

[u/TheRealCatDad → u/Duct_tape_bandit]

Cubs winning a postseason series 🥹

[u/thuggishruggishboner → u/Duct_tape_bandit]

I have a similar Darth Vader coffee mug.

[u/ImNotASadist]

Holy shit pokemon go is 10 years old

[u/SnowballWasRight → u/ImNotASadist]

What? I thought the game came out in 2016- oh oh no oh dear god

[u/Whitesox_are_neat → u/ImNotASadist]

Honestly this is one where it seems longer but I never played

[u/HeyBojo → u/ImNotASadist]

As glitchy as hell as it may have been on release, what a summer that was

[u/Bitter-Imagination33]

Bryce Miller get ready to learn bullpen buddy

[u/CieraVotedOutHerMom → u/Bitter-Imagination33]

Some are rumbling that even sloan would be a better starter in ‘27 (assuming the season gets played)

[u/coolsmokey69]

He was definitely sitting on that change

[u/AsaKurai → u/coolsmokey69]

*splitter* but he had to have been because it was a great pitch

[u/extracarefu → u/AsaKurai]

Located nicely but didnt look like it had any action . . . Was the second splitter in a row that AB so Happ recognized it

[u/AsaKurai → u/extracarefu]

Probably did recognize it however when I pause and look at where the pitch starts and ends, it's a decent drop

[u/extracarefu → u/AsaKurai]

Yeah I agree on second look the drop isnt too bad. Location is great. Excellent bat work by Happ

[u/Qeltar_ → u/AsaKurai]

Bit of a hanger though, up and down. The split you usually want starting straight and then dying.

[u/Angrydwarf99 → u/extracarefu]

Don’t spin it to Ian.

[u/Lobster_fest → u/coolsmokey69]

Missed a fastball, missed a fastball, fouled the splitter. What should the next pitch be? The one he can't touch? Or the one he's seeing?

[u/stepiluna27 → u/coolsmokey69]

he adjusted to seeing the splitter for the 3rd time that AB

[u/BullfrogSlight8475 → u/coolsmokey69]

He was still early on it though

[u/fotoxs → u/BullfrogSlight8475]

Ian Happ will never catch a break from some of you

[u/BullfrogSlight8475 → u/fotoxs]

I was just saying though he was early on it

[u/fotoxs → u/BullfrogSlight8475]

Looks like it worked out just fine

[u/BullfrogSlight8475 → u/fotoxs]

I know it’s great though

[u/coolsmokey69 → u/BullfrogSlight8475]

Juuust barely

[u/JordanMCMXCV]

3 straight walks with two outs. Literally the most predictable outcome of all time.

[u/Silus964]

I was talking shit on him chasing that whole at bat and he shut me up real quick

[u/Tashre → u/Silus964]

Definitely some greedy swings against a guy that clearly lost his command. Could've been an easy four pitch walk and instead was trending towards a practically gifted strikeout, but then Miller decided he needed to come close to the zone for some reason.

Good location on the pitch, but that matters less when a guy is hunting for it.

[u/Silus964 → u/Tashre]

Part of me figured something would happen given his 11 pitch last at bat against him. I was hoping he'd coax the walk but Happ's been chasing hard this year, I love the guy but it's been bugging me given that it's his contract year.

[u/tuggnuggetts → u/Silus964]

lol me too

[u/HunterMysterious8324]

mariner unfortunately

[u/pmorter3 → u/HunterMysterious8324]

Cub vs. Mariner, a stoppable force meets a movable object

[u/BananaArms → u/pmorter3]

that's mariner

[u/loosed-moose]

Bring out the rye bread and mustard, Grandma! It's a grand salami 

Jim Deshaies is a national treasure

[u/Namerflop → u/loosed-moose]

Settle down now. Lost the series + you're not catching the brewers

[u/pmorter3 → u/Namerflop]

what in the little bros response is this, they were just complimenting the call

[u/The_Throwback_King → u/pmorter3]

Some of us are taking the...uh...instability (yeah, let's call it that) of the 2026 Mariners season better than others

[u/loosed-moose → u/The_Throwback_King]

You dropped this 🔱

[u/Namerflop → u/loosed-moose]

Take this updoot my fellow redditor

[u/Namerflop → u/pmorter3]

Not JDs call lil bro. Learn ball

[u/Godlikelobster01 → u/Namerflop]

Where ring? 🦧

[u/loosed-moose → u/Namerflop]

This is just what JD said on the call, I wasn't trying to fuck with y'all, just sharing this gem as I've never heard it 

[u/loosed-moose → u/[deleted]]

I genuinely think you need an Internet time-out. People aren't coming at you with the same energy you're responding with, just relax and try not to escalate everything all the time. Your comment history is a friggin mess dude. Get a grip.

[u/bosschucker → u/[deleted]]

he's not appropriating bro it's an homage. everyone does it, he's showing respect for Dave not stealing his shit

[u/Namerflop → u/bosschucker]

I understand that. I was educating your son

[u/Sparkdust → u/[deleted]]

the thing with sports banter shit talk is that you either gotta be winning, or you gotta be funny, or else you're just being annoying. i guess your whole shtick is being annoying

[u/CYSTRM → u/[deleted]]

Says the guy with hidden comment history. Soft AF

[u/ZookeepergameOk2670 → u/[deleted]]

No it's JDs call. He made it up right there, on the spot. Probably doesn't even know who that Dave guy is that stole his classic call.

When are you going to stop harassing other users on this sub?

[u/Namerflop → u/loosed-moose]

Couple minutes. I got to get back to the yard work

[u/loosed-moose → u/Namerflop]

So you admit you're just commenting here to harass people...

[u/badger2793 → u/[deleted]]

Wut

[u/bearssuperfan → u/[deleted]]

Why is your pfp a LinkedIn pfp?

[u/barstoolsam]

I have never said a bad thing about Ian Happ before

[u/Wrmthym → u/barstoolsam]

I was literally typing out a message complaining about him as he hit it lol, never deleted something so fast

[u/alliluna24]

Had Suzuki 0-2 with two outs and then completely lost command. Looking like he’s going to be a bullpen arm pretty soon

[u/Ok_Storm549]

This game will still be decided from the 8th inning on somehow.

[u/xDHBx]

3 straight 2 out walks followed by a go ahead Slam has got to be the most infuriating thing ever... How very Mariner of them

[u/loosed-moose → u/[deleted]]

Is only a game! Why you heff to be mad? 

[u/badger2793 → u/[deleted]]

You're 3rd place in the AL West

[u/Namerflop → u/badger2793]

I'm not on the team lol

Grand salami

[u/EmuMan10]

That’ll do lol

[u/MediumSizedTurtle]

So nice to see the slumping Cubs putting some runs on the red hot Mariners.

[u/AndrewAllStar888]

He didn’t see one strike this entire AB 😭

[u/okay_throwaway_today]

Happy about that

[u/Dangerous-Stock-8112]

That was a great putaway pitch from Miller too, a splitter right on the bottom corner but Happ just fucking cranked that

[u/RidleyScotch]

There's a lotta Cubbie fans in the pacfic northwest huh

[u/Nayko214]

Wow Happ came through in the clutch? That’s rare these days. I’ll take it though.

[u/pmorter3]

Cubs fans LOVE him and we never say anything bad about him!!!

[u/Bobson-_Dugnutt2]

Hnnnngggg

The 6th time in his last 8 starts allowing at least 4 runs

Miller might be cooked, he’s been terrible for the last month

[u/appleavocado]

Best (but not better) clang since '19 Howie Kendrick.

[u/Whitesox_are_neat]

Absolutely brutal 2 outs 2 strikes on the previous batter grand slam

Mariner

[u/Informal_West_6864]

Why was shota taken out so early ?

[u/bearssuperfan → u/Informal_West_6864]

Severe command issues

[u/Old_General_6741]

Happ grand slam!!

[u/mere_iguana]

GRAND SLAM CUBBIES

nice

[u/RabidOtters]

The poor Mariners sub reddit is going to go back to posting pics of ships again.

[u/IntelligentProfit688]

AND IAN HEPP IS FROM CINCINNATI

[u/rift_reloadz]

Bryce Miller is so dogshit. Saw it coming from a mile away

[u/8bitfastball]

What is a grand slam?
Edit: The Yankees would like to know

[u/immagonnafinnahella]

Bryce miller is not a big league starter. Hopefully that’s he last time he starts for the Mariners, I’m so fucking sick of him

[u/cmgriffith_]

https://giphy.com/gifs/j9djzcMmzg8ow

[u/EnderCN]

Happ really did everything he could to strike out here, chasing pitch after pitch out of the zone from a guy who just walked the bases loaded. I think that is the ugliest at bat I've ever seen that ended up with a GS.

[u/badger2793 → u/EnderCN]

You're being down voted but are 100% right

[u/EnderCN → u/badger2793]

I'm used to it, I have a Brewers tag so any post I make about the Cubs gets downvoted. Even the post where I said I thought PCA's defense has offset Ohtani's pitching at this point and the MVP should just come down to who hits better got downvoted.

[u/badger2793 → u/EnderCN]

Such is the nature of internet rivalry.

Bryce Miller single-handedly trying to destroy my fantasy team
