Baseball GIFs, Clips, Memes and Highlights Superthread

[TwistedLogic]

With how many highlights I record for Reddit, I thought I might as well make a thread here where I can cross-post those clips in case anyone is interested in rewatching big plays.

Since MLB.com highlights are often cut at inopportune times and don't always have replays, etc, people will often be able to find longer clips here via my Streamable.

You can also use this thread to share GIFs, memes and Twitter clips, etc.

Clips from April 21, 2022:

• Matt Chapman hits an RBI "single" with an xBA of .000
• Jordan Romano keeps his franchise-record streak alive with a nail-biting save
• The Yankees intentionally walk Miggy (2,999 career hits) to load the bases in the bottom of the 8th
• Austin Meadows drives in two runs with a bloop hit after the Yankees intentionally load the bases

Clips from April 22, 2022:

• Espinal and Zimmer go back-to-back off Verlander to tie the game. Also, Michael Brantley randomly eats shit in the outfield.
• Matt Chapman comes up with a clutch go-ahead RBI double in the top of the 9th, Vladdy goes 1st to home on the play
• Jordan Romano and Alejandro Kirk get PUMPED after a disgusting high heater gets the debuting J.J. Matijevic to end the game. Romano picks up his MLB-leading 8th save of the season.

Watching sports highlights can be such a pain in the ass sometimes with ads and shitty apps... this thread is going to be my sportscentre

I hope you know you are doing the lords work

[Stangstag]

Glad to know people will be using this!

Unfortunately the main limitation here is that I only record so many clips so please feel free to drop your own links in here if you guys find stuff on YouTube or elsewhere.

And of course, if you have any clip requests of things that happened in any recent baseball game, just let me know in here and I can go back and record them.

I can clip anything from MLB.TV's catalog and whatever recent recordings they have on Sportsnet Now.

There’s people that like to do work that others can enjoy. Then there’s people that just like to enjoy someone else’s work. It’s like a 5/95 split. I’m firmly in the latter category

Good thread

[TwistedLogic]

Some highlights I clipped prior to making this thread that are worth watching:

• The Chicago Cubs broadcast explains how the Marquee Sports broadcast strike zone is set (super interesting info here)
• Cody Bellinger, Gavin Lux and Austin Barnes hit three straight home runs
• Yankees commentators and fans hilariously react to a long fly ball by Giancarlo Stanton
• Vladdy and Bo hug in the dugout
• Sportsnet's hilarious Flow Bichette bobblehead commcercial
• Yusei Kikuchi's gold glove performance: 5 great defensive plays

And I'm sure everyone here has seen these already but either way:

• Vladdy's first homer of the day (vs. Cole)
• Vladdy's second homer of the day (vs. Cole)
• Vladdy's third homer of the day (vs. Loaisiga)
• Vladdy seals his excellent game by grabbing a 108 MPH Josh Donaldson line drive.
