[Highlight] Walk-off homer for Team Puerto Rico from Darell Hernaiz!
So for 20 years of WBC history there have been no walk off homers. And today there were TWO
Thats one of the most baseball things to ever happen
Baseball, man.
Baseball, Suzyn*
Baseball, huh?
Tell em it’s not hard Wash.
It’s incredibly hard
Insert Charlie that’s baseball baby gif
You know I watched a rundown from an Instagram witch about how low-key baseball is a constant magic ceremony, with regards to geometry, numerology (sets of 3 mainly). And her conclusion was that that was the only way to explain the shit that happens in baseball and I found it oddly on point.
And now it will never happen again. Because baseball.
Puerto Rico did it in Extra Innings on purpose just to top the historical significance.
Conspiracy but I’ll allow it
Absolute cinema
There’s been less than 200 games played in those 20 years. Not that crazy. MLB homerun walk off per game is 1-2%. Seems about on track in wbc as well…nothing mind blowing imo
So you’re saying two things with a 1% chance of happening, happening on the same night (therefore a 0.01% chance) isn’t crazy?
My mind was blown. So, yea, it was mind blowing.
That’s baseball Suzyn
Really, wow that’s kind of crazy.
How can you not be romantic about baseball?
i love baseball so much man
Nothing like it
It’s hard not to be romantic about it
No other game makes this much room for miracles.
Or heartbreak
Baseball is the working man’s game. You get your dick beat into the dirt, guess what. Tomorrow is another day to prove yourself. It tallys the tears, the blood, the pine tar. It values all efforts, and delivers its cold calculation as soon as the sun shines less. It values its summer children, the flashes in pans, but run from it, hide from it: October arrives all the same. BUT, even if you went 0-162, hope springs eternal baby!!
Best sport ever.
The World Baseball Classic just makes Baseball more awesome, it’s neat to see it being held every 3-4 years leading up to this hype for the sport.
Every tournament it gets more and more serious its fantastic
If I find a magic lamp with a genie inside, i’m asking for 365 days a year of awesome baseball! My other 2 wishes will be inconsequential to that one!
Best sport on the planet man
Then you add the incentive of these players playing for their country it’s peak. They will die for the crest
The absolute greatest. And this tournament is the greatest. I’ve been three screening games all day
Preach
Me too dude
These announcers were A1 all game.
I was unsure about him at first, but I really dig the Australian color commentator.
The M’s are lucky to have him
The only consistent thing about Seattle sports
Hyphen is the shit
It’s honestly insane how blessed the Mariners have been with our casters
At the beginning of their first broadcast of the tourney the play-by-play guy introduced him as “your favourite colour guy’s favourite colour guy”
When the play-by-play guy said that the aussie was “bilingual” because he spoke English and bogan i lost it 😄
Tyler’s a genuinely good dude too and loves the WBC. Love to see him killing it.
PDP is the best podcast in baseball (even if they only do one a year). Tyler is awesome.
Tyler Maun is mainly stuck calling University of Denver basketball but they get him for international baseball and he crushes
Man what a wild swing of viewership between those games.
By far the best of the crews imo
Is there a version with Puerto Rican commentators?
Man great game but ooof for Panama this is crushing
Panama and Nicaragua with legendary throws in historical potential wins.
Can’t help but feel bad for both of them
But that’s baseball.
Both Central American countries getting walked off. Brutal for them
Really makes you wonder how a game between them would go lol
It’s gonna be a war to stay in the next tournament.
They needed to win today
Great game by them, really good team
Someone’s gotta win and someone gotta lose
Now that’s a proper call for a walk off homer
And then 30 seconds of silence to let us marinate in the atmosphere. Beautiful moment.
Dan Schulman does that for the Jays, he knows when to let the atmosphere and noises take over and when to commentate and it’s something i’ve always appreciated about him
From 0 walk off homers to 2 in 12 hours
Oh, what a feeling!!
2026 pool play blows 2023 pool play out the water, so many bangers
Well when you get a walk off where you question if the guy is ever actually going to touch home it’s pretty hard to beat
Love the ump making damn sure he touched home plate.
My guy just wanted to go home. He doesn’t have the energy for extras
Loved that detail. Not sure I’ve ever seen that but it was like he was hype too
this tournament really lived up to they hype so far
Laz Diaz just fell to his knees
Check his phone for betting apps
He was squeezing Panama so tight those last innings lol he wanted a magic moment so bad.
PR chirped him in the 9th for the low calls and he completely changed his zone from that point on.
And we thank him for it
What a call by the announcer. The setup to the walk-off was master class.
The WBC is quickly becoming something I look forward to.
More than Olympic baseball for me. It seems more passionate.
Without a doubt. Similar to how the World Cup is held in such high regard compared to Olympic soccer. It’s just better, plain and simple.
The vibes for Latin teams are immaculate
they’ve been legit super hype. although korea vs japan was crazyyy
Shout out to Tyler Maun, a Denverite and fellow Nebraska alum, who fucking loves the WBC and absolutely nailed that call.
🇵🇷
Now that’s how you do a walk off call!
Puerto Rico may not win it all but they are proving everyone wrong. I love this team, I love being Puerto Rican.
PA LA MIERDA, NOS VAMOS QUEDAR CON TOOOO’ (SONIDO DE COQUI)
#I’M AT THE STADIUM AND MY DICK IS ROCK HARD!!!
Insane energy
JONRON
Yadi Molina being one of the first out of the dugout, jumping around like a player is great
DTMF
Absolute Cinema
TALK YOUR SHIT DARRELL
This felt like we won the whole thing, we making babies tonight! 🇵🇷
2025 playoffs and now 2026 WBC, my god. Best months of baseball ever.
So many great moments have happened in such a short time span.
WBC is bigger than the WS for me
PUÑETA PR ESTÁ CABRON
Now that’s a better walkoff call
Sorry Panama, it would’ve been cool.
Hell of a finish, vamos béisbol!!
Watched this in bar in PR the energy estaba CABRON ACHO PR 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
ES OTRA COOOSAAAAAA
The WBC woke up today and picked entertainment.
Puerto Rico got fucked man not fair they lost so many of their best players
The actual top 3 players. Diamond defense alone would have been 300% better
My man Berrios wanted to redeem himself.
The more the tournament grows in popularity and importance, the less this insurance policy crap will happen. WBC insurance coverage should become standard in MLB contracts.
Laz hates Bad Bunny
A’s legend Darell Hernaiz!
I love the World Baseball Classic
YO TE QUIEROOOO PUERTO RICOOOOOO 🇵🇷
In front of that home crowd, there can’t be a better feeling in the world than that right now
I fuckin love the WBC
Now we got 2 walk off homer on the same day!!!!
Not only that but the first two in WBC history!
Yup I’m actually surprised there hasn’t been a walk off HR before today!
Nice to see they are allowed to have fun here unlike mlb. Unwritten rule dorks
The WBC is so hype man
What a moment. Felt for Panama and particularly the guy they put into close. Forget his name but he plays in Japan and completely lost his ability to throw strikes. The fact I was pulling for Panama as it would help my Canada’s chances of advancing made it hurt jusssst a little bit.
Still though, what a moment.
How can you not be romantic about baseball
¡Qué victoria tan increíble!
Bryce Harper told me this tournament don’t matter fuck outta here
Plus the Olympics has an age limit I think, it’s like in the U21 category
I love how Yadier Molina is jumping up and down with them
Two WBC walk-off homers in one day. After previously being none. That’s incredible.
Beyond electric. Wow. Wow wow wow.
Congrats, Panama really gave it away.
From Having no walkoff HRs in WBC history to 2 in one day is MADNESS. This WBC is shaping up to top the last one and that’s actually insane
Lost my voice, so worth it!! Vamos Puerto Rico!!
LLLETTTSS FUCKKKIIINGGG GOOOOO PUÑETAAAAAAAA
“Por la mañana, café; por la tarde, ron. Darnell Hernaiz nos mando a casa, con un jonron…”
What an atmosphere, what a game. what an ending. This is what baseball should be.
Minor league Orioles legend
Going from no walk off home runs in WBC history to 2 in the same day is pretty awesome. Good shit Hernández, he sent that one flying.
I was stressing all game long. What a swing.
Hernaiz was so obviously going for a bomb and he got a pitch to work with. Incredible scenes.
Laz diaz wanted to go home
I love this sport
Greatest WBC ever?
Knockout stage has tot deliver but this is the best pool play since I started watching
P fkn R
Debi Triar Mas Fotos
i burst out laughing at laz trying to keep the base path clear
Home of the Expos!
PUERTO RICO! INCREÍBLE !!
So much improvement from the previous call
Team Rubio!!!
Gotta feel good to do that in your country in front of your fans.
I can’t believe people get mad that the wbc exists
That had to be the single most pimped home run trot I’ve ever seen. Ump was like “come on touch the plate it’s right over here”
P fkn R puñetaaaaaa!!!!! 🇵🇷
Wepaaaaa!!!! Vamos Puerto Rico!
This tournament makes me fall in love with baseball all over again
Don’t think prior to the WBC that it would be surprising to anyone if you told them that one of the PR SS-3B guys would be a hero for them. Darell Hernaiz is probably not among the top 5 options you would have guessed for who that SS-3B guy would be, however.
I’ve followed Hernaiz since he was in low A Delmarva for the Orioles It’s really awesome to see his success!!
Puerto Rico está bien cabrónnnnnn
What a fucking moment
Such an awesome game!! Play at the plate was so clutch.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO!!!!!
The WBC is special
What a game. This is what it’s all about.
someone tell the ump the moment is not about him
Went from 0 walk offs every in multiple tournaments to 2 in 2 days.
WBC is the best
Am I just main feed-blind or has this WBC been absolute fireworks and cinema so far?
The ump grabbing his teammate who tried to touch him before he got home was very funny
Glad to see this tournament continue to grow. Having everybody care about it like soccer cares about the World Cup will just make it better and better
Oh it’s fuckin lit at Hiram
The classic is the best of baseball. Every game has been incredible.
That was a fun game
Fucking sick. Good for them
The matrix really overcorrects sometimes huh
Best sporting moment in Puerto Rico’s history?
2017 is gonna be hard to beat. Yadi behind the plate and prime Baez at second.
https://youtu.be/1nDthtPQtrQ?si=iIHOI37fdDUynXE6
I was really hoping Panamá would be able to get out of this group of death 😔 oh well maybe next time
How is the MLB regular season supposed to compete with this?
Ump was really on him to touch home plate lmao
This shit is so hype. Baseball is the best.
Awesome game
Baseball rules. It rules more in not America.
Goddamn. Didn’t know WBC is this lit.
But the WBC a meaningless exhibition though.
/s
Yeah. Stadium was on fire
God damn baseball is fun man. So happy it’s back
I never would’ve guessed we’d get a Vance Worley sighting today.
The Vanimal
Fuck I love WBC
🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷!!!!!
Fucking electric 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Baseball is the best sport
WBC magic
Is that Laz Diaz telling him to hurry up and touch home? Lol
BORICUA! 🗣️🇵🇷
Instant classic, best game of the tourney so far
