I don’t typically get annoyed by national broadcasters as most people do, as I typically find it too innocuous to get worked up about. But holy sweet fucking GOD can they not give Wainwright and Molina a blowjob before every game for fuck’s sake it’s enough already

Manny Machado, hustling down the line, reaches base as he pressures the shortstop into a bad throw. Every broadcaster and sportswriter in America should see this tweet.

The time Ortiz didn’t even start to jog until he got to first base… inspirational. So glad to see the tradition continue.
