Petey Halpin Bat Flipped To The Moon As The Guardians Took A 2-1 Lead In The ALCS
Biggest game of the year, AND THE GUARDS SHOWED THE FUCK UP!!!!!
I'll be honest I was a little nervous when Major League Baseball decided to move the game up from night time to essentially brunch in order to beat the rain, but the good news is that Gavin Williams did not feel the same. In fact, not only did he not care, he fucking thrived. 70 pitches and 9 strikeouts for the Big Rig. Pure domination.
What a postseason this guy is having:
But as good as Gavin was, we still were down after 4 innings. That was until Petey Halpin said, we'll take that back. And after his monstrous, no-doubt 2-run homer to retake the lead, he launched his bat so high that I'm pretty sure it hit the moon before falling back down.
Some people are whining and crying that this was disrespectful. I'm whining and crying that he didn't throw it higher. THAT WAS A GO AHEAD HOME RUN IN THE FUCKING ALCS TO GIVE CLEVELAND A LEAD IN THE SERIES!!!!!
Anyways, from there it was a masterclass by the Guards bullpen, culminating in a Cade Smith 4 out save. The way that Save went was 1-2-3-4. God my God is it GREAT to have a lights out closer (that doesn't gamble on his pitches).
Guards up 2-1. Obviously not even close to over by any means, but Game 4 tomorrow could give us a MASSIVE advantage. The difference between 3-1 and 2-2 cannot be stated how large it is. Go get me one tomorrow, boys (unless it rains and they move it to Sunday and give Cleveland the most outrageous Browns/Guardians double header)
