My boy finally getting the recognition he deserves! Everyone always hyping #Ohtani, who is very inconsistent, imo. Meanwhile, my boy #WillSmith just quietly gets on with the job.
Also Pages doing great.
Side note, Smith and Rushing look identical in their catcher gear. I honestly can't tell them apart until they bat, unless I get a back view where I can see their name/number.
Also, haha Madres, who's your daddy!
It's that time of year again.
#LondonMets game starting at 12! Last time I came to watch them they lost badly! Let hope they do better today! It's a double header.
Top of the third, still no runs. We're playing #Sheffield by the way.
Now it's starting to spit. I didn't even bring a jacket.
And I wish I bought a snack.
Watching a live game is so much more fun when you have someone to #autistsplain to π
Not much of a crowd here. The Mets dugout is very noisy. They really like Joe. Okay, Joe! Go on, Joe!
We had to import a coach and ump from North America, I don't suppose we have enough of them over here π¬π§
Edit: 1-0 Sheffield π
#LondonMets #baseball #amateurbaseball #NBL #britishbaseball
We've tied the game and now homeplate ump has forgotten the count!
Yeah! Mets just won a rundown at homeplate! 2-1 Mets!
We won! I think we got a grand slam in the 6th, but these two annoying dogs kept running around and distracted me. It was at least a three run home run! We won 7-1! I forgot double headers were fewer innings. There were a lot of good plays and a few crazy foul balls!
I'm not staying for game 2, I have shopping to do! And I'm hungry!
Somehow I missed recording all the best plays! This was a rundown where the runner got tagged, but we had one rundown where the defence got sloppy and our runner made it home!
There was barely anyone on the bleachers today. The last time I came (last season) it was packed, they even had a canopy up past the dugout. So I don't get why it was totally dead today π€·π½ββοΈ Apart from one other woman (who I think was a relative of a player as I saw them talking), I was the only person who stayed for the entire game.
The dugout could be very obnoxious! π

Bad British Baseball Commentary.
It's really funny! The FBI agents bit is what stays with me whenever I watch a game!
Yay, #Dodgers have finally woken up! Mookie seems to be over his slump. It's nice to see him back!
Wow, #Dodgers actually won a game. Still trying to get over the fact that we've been swept by the Anaheim Angels the whole season.
At this point, we may not even make wildcard π Pull your fingers out, guys!
So it took playing the Madres for the #Dodgers to finally get their fighting spirit back!
Striking out Machado to get the sweep was *chef's kiss*
I was worried I'd have to bring out this video again:
https://autistics.life/@SilverArrows/114824485406542219
At least the #Dodgers remembered how to play before we got swept by the Madres. And Yama got some rare run support.
Question: is #Muncy back on the IL? He came back after coming off it, but now he's gone again. Is Kim also on the IL? What happened to Barnes, has he been pretty much retired now we have Smith as primary and Rushing as backup? Why is #Conforto? Is Teoscar's defence as bad and lazy as the comments make out? He was so clutch last season, but now he's pretty much a guaranteed out on offence and rarely makes good defensive plays. I know #Ohtani has some impressive offensive stats, but he's so inconsistent.
I miss some of the old guys. Trayce Thompson (he played for Team GB in the WBC), he got three homers in one game once.
Also, why Conforto?
Awww!

A few people say #WillSmith gives off A Team vibes, and I got that impression from that Tavo promo video he did a while back. I know you can't really tell if he's one of us just from that. He kinda has the vibe though. Or maybe he is just an introverted vanilla.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MnXhFSWJmqM
Still my favourite #Dodger though!
Dodger? I hardly know 'er!
PS we swept the #Reds, yay!
Ma boooooooi! β¨ π€©
Oh my gosh.
That was possibly the worst #Dodgers game I've ever seen.
The moment they got Scott on the mound was the moment it was all over.
Why they always gotta do Yama dirty like that?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A5V36_WeKqI
Wow, Scott actually didn't blow the game!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kroGfTHcAlY
I should be happier, but I'm back to feeling dead.
We won the pennant anyway, even with playing Scott as closer in game 1.
My boi Smith still not back. Roertvedt (I know I spelt that wrong) is actually pretty good though.
Also sad that Outman got traded, he was very promising. Can we have him back in exchange for Scott? Also weird seeing Taylor play for another team. And losing Barnes too. Even though he was underperforming, I liked Barnesy.
Also did I hear right? Have the Trashtros been eliminated?
LET'S GO, DODGERS!!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MungaDotLJs
Yamamoto + Sasaki! Mookie Betts is on fire! π₯π₯ I miss ma boi Smith, but Rortvedt is good! I like it when a Dodger isn't afraid to bunt.
MungaDot lol
#WillSmith won't be returning as catcher, from what I've heard, because of his injury. He'll be pinch hitting, which he is normally quite good at, though he did slump a little after the All Star break. I hope he's able to get back to his peak. The #Phillies are going to be tough!
I'm glad we have Rortvedt (I spelt it right time) to sub as primary catcher.
So they switched Rortvedt out for Smith, but Smith is still kinda slumping on offence.
HernΓ‘ndez twins again! π
But Teo really seems like he can't be bothered on defence these days. Maybe he needs to move back to left or centre field. I miss Betts as right fielder.
A little disappointed in #Ohtani, he is so hit and miss! Great closing by #RokiSasaki!
We did well to beat the #Phillies though. I knew they'd be tough, but the Dodgers pulled through.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2beT7_4KbtA
Omg the Blue Jays are on fire!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=L9KLE0X5y2s
It's a joy to watch! They're really going all out on both offence and defence. Compare that to Teoscar's "meh" attitude when it comes to defence.
11 runs by the fourth inning and 11 strike outs from their opener.
I'd love to see a Blue Jays vs Dodgers World Series. I can't see the Dodgers winning that one, but it would be great to see.
If I had taken the time to research teams first, instead of "I know Dodgers are a baseball team, so I'll just follow their games," I would have chosen the Blue Jays. Just because they're the only non US team haha. Also, their logo is cute.
Also I like to see the Yankees lose. I don't know why. I probably dislike them for the same reason so many dislike the Dodgers haha.
Looks like they're keeping Rortvedt for the first half and Smith for the second. My boi coming in clutch again!
Freaking Doc, WHY IS TREINEN NOT BENCHED? All we need now is Tanner Scott back on the mound, come on, man. You have Sasaki and Kershaw and you decide to play Treinen and almost blow the game, wth.
My hope for a #BlueJays vs #Dodgers World Series has come true!
Given how the Dodgers were playing in the last couple of months of the regular season, I'm surprised we even made it this far. At least Scott and Conforto have been benched, and Teoscar has stopped being lazy. Treinen still makes me hold my head in my hands though.
I feel like this could go either way. Either Dodgers will choke and it'll be all over by game 5. Or they'll take it down to the wire in a close game 7.
I'd love to see the Japanese national champions play the MLB champs. Even more fun would be the UK national champs, the #LondonMets, play either of them!
(I love how you see comments saying "it's US vs Canada, it's a real World Series this time", like North America is the whole world π)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kcmNT4TuSqk#
It's Yama time!
Spare a thought for Will Smith's knees after that 18 inning game. Even Yama was getting ready to play.
I'm glad #FreddieFreeman redeemed himself with that walk off after getting tagged out trying to get home earlier on. I don't know what he was thinking not holding at third. If it wasn't for that, we might not have got this epic, though.

Game was so long the highlights weren't even up when I woke up to check.
Unfortunately all the spoiler clips were already up. I'd have loved to have watched the highlights without knowing the result beforehand. I wish I knew how to code a script to just give the link to the latest highlights so I can ignore all the spoilers.
#Dodgers aren't gonna get back to back titles π
Blue Jays are deadly this year. Dodgers are tired. I predicted it would be either Blue Jays in 5 or it would go to game 7 in a close game. But it's most likely Blue Jays in 6. I'd have liked the Dodgers to win, but Blue Jays deserve it this year. They've been on the offensive all year, whereas the Dodgers slump too much.
Time to bring out papa Garrison for the obligatory line:
Attached: 1 video It's that time of year again. #mlb #baseball #Dodgers #losingstreak
Ooooh they only went and tied the series.

Also I can use that link to get the highlights and bypass the spoilers. EXCEPT! The dozy bints in the editing room spoil it with the thumbnail. So when I check the highlights tomorrow I'll have to cover the screen on the left.
Aw yeah! It went exactly as I'd hoped! Close game going to extra innings! Well done, #BlueJays! You had a great season.
The Jammy #Dodgers were just a bit too jammy.
#WillSmith and #Yamamoto coming in clutch again. Dream team β¨
I managed to avoid spoilers this time! Yay!
Found footage of game 7:
WBC 2026 pools announced.
Looks like having a genocidal, apartheid government doesn't make a country a pariah in the sporting world, who knew. If we can take a stance on excluding Russia from international events because of what they're doing to Ukraine, why not israel too?
