Ozzie Albies’ walk-off home run was the FIRST walk-off homer in World Baseball Classic history
“If Nicaragua wins a game it will be thanks to dusty baker”
Dusty giveth and Dusty taketh
Da fuck he ever giveth us? Other than deep mental trauma I suppose.
He gave us the shortening of Mark Prior’s career.
And Edinson Volquez’s.
Not the cubs specifically, but he gaveth all of us the high five, which is neat
I mean that’s pretty disingenuous. He got you closer to the World Series than any other manager before 2016.
Most overrated manager ever… the Harold Baines of Managers
He contains multitudes
This gif is so goddamn perfect hahaha we all love Dusty here, but come on, we all saw this coming 😂😂
What a stat. Even cooler that it wasn’t for one of the marquee teams.
Makes the moment feel even bigger for the Curacao squad. Unreal atmosphere for it too.
Yeah, it was crazy went to check the score and clicked on the live tracker that shows the batter with the grid and the pitch and right when it opened I saw a blue ball in the strike zone and thought wow, wouldn’t it be crazy if he hit a walk off and 2 seconds later they posted the result of his walk off lol.
The live tracker lag is always a trip. You basically manifested that home run into existence in real time.
Haha awesome! Glad I did it for such a cool player, Ozzie seems like such a fun and nice guy.
I just heard it on a broadcast and cheered, because the Netherlands need to keep it alive.
Thanks! In return, I’ll cheer at India hitting a bomb against the Reds today
IT HAPPENED!!!
It did? Guess Denny wasn’t fibbing shen I was listening to the game.
Cheering wasnt too much of a chore for a Royals fan
thx
Hard to believe this was the first walk-off homer. Great game.
People sleep on the Netherlands. I think a lot of people forget that Aruba and Curacao are part of the Netherlands (and mainland Netherlands actually has a baseball league).
Japan vs Mexico in 2023 was very close to being a walk-off homer.
Me too but thinking about it more, I guess there aren’t that many games and quite a few of them are blowouts so there just haven’t been that many opportunities.
That’ll learn me to be annoyed at their ineffectivess at the plate…
yeah was just waiting for it to be over and he does that
Fun fact that’s actually not so fun for fans of Team Nicaragua (me).
That was a brutal way to lose.
God, that’s so pretty
HONKBAL BABY
Nicaragua providing providing history to the fans
Also, the first one in Las Vegas Athletics (of West Sacramento) history!
(But kudos to the Netherlands, though!)
Adopted the Netherlands for my WBC team this year. Fuck yeah.
That was so sick watching that innijg unfold. The highs and lows of high stakes baseball.
OUCH
Hang that base in the Rijksmuseum. Lets fucking go!!
Kinda hard to believe.
OZZIE OZZIE OZZIE
Not just a walk-off homer, but a come from behind one.
And the second one just happened by Darell Hernaiz!
Wait I could’ve sworn Andrelton Simmons got one in like 2013
Is this the third one or something like that? Ask of these records are just not a big deal considering the newness of the event and the few number of games played.
