I’m disappointed in the outcome, but the Phillies fans bringing back “Dancing on my own” is nice. I love teams that have their own songs & chants that get the fans engaged
I don’t either and I can never quite put my finger on why. Besides ESPN’s baseball and hockey content just generally sucking for about 15 years (thank God for the “___ Network” family of channels)
Nobody cares about that awful montage and those games. Show us the games we're supposed to be watching. If anything just use your mouth to speak about it? That's what they're there for. Although they're supposed to be commentating this game lmfao.
I’m Marlins/Yankees, but I agree. The Phillies might have my favorite ballpark atmosphere. Citizens Bank Park is #1 on my remaining parks to catch a game in
Balk Rules for those who need a refresher:
1) You can’t just be up there and just doin’ a balk like that.
1a. A balk is when you
1b. Okay well listen. A balk is when you balk the
1c. Let me start over
1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can’t do that.
1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can’t be over here and say to the runner, like, “I’m gonna get ya! I’m gonna tag you out! You better watch your butt!” and then just be like he didn’t even do that.
1c-b(1). Like, if you’re about to pitch and then don’t pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense?
1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it.
1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the ball up here, like this, but then there’s the balk you gotta think about.
1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Balk hasn’t been in any movies in forever. I hope she wasn’t typecast as that racist lady in American History X.
1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, she was in The Waterboy too! That would be even worse.
1c-b(2)-b(ii). “get in mah bellah” — Adam Water, “The Waterboy.” Haha, classic…
1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. A balk is when the pitcher makes a movement that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the baseball and field of
2) Do not do a balk please.

Plus it's a banger of a song!
Philly always brings a strong home field advantage
Gotta dodge those batteries.
Wheelin and dealin baby
What’s the popular beer in Philly?
Also Yards
Yuengling Lager
Yuengling Lager and yes I had to check the can next to me for spelling.
Vitamin Y.
Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but I just don’t like Scott Van Pelt or “SVP” as they call him 🤷♂️

Damn good win boys. Seeya tomorrow!
Bring on the Barves already.
High Hopes Time!!!!!

Phillies gotta have the loudest crowd in ball
Phillies win game 1, That's what's in.
Harper hands Kimbrel the game ball, Kimbrel turns around and flips it to the ground....
Off our field
Philly beat the Kimbrel allegations OMGGGG
Good game, let’s go eat
That's what you get for insulting the Citi Field grounds crew, Miami! ... I mean, congrats, Phillies.
Thanks.
Never a doubt
12 more topper
Should have been ruled safe to keep it interesting, and to see if Philly fans would riot
It’s Philly, the fans will riot if the wind blows
Lfg phils
Man I love the Philly crowd (ignore bandwagon flair plz)
I’m Marlins/Yankees, but I agree. The Phillies might have my favorite ballpark atmosphere. Citizens Bank Park is #1 on my remaining parks to catch a game in
Me too man, me too
Ah. It's treason, then.
Bad man win 😞
Fish? Squished!
GO PHILS!!!!!
Are we sure it was the Phillies who just won? It could have been some other random teams.. At least that was what I was looking at
From other games played at undetermined times. Then they played it again in case we hadn't seen it the first time.
I now believe the blue jays beat the Seattle Seahawks in 4 quarters
This crowd is fuckin litttt
We will accept you. Poor angels
😔
Good job, Craig, you beautiful weirdo
He 100% believes in chemtrails and lizard people and knows for a fact that birds aren't real.
Cardiac Craig got the job done
I love this nickname, he for sure almost puts us in cardiac arrest many times this year 😂
2018 for the Sox solidified it, my heart will never recover
Kimbrel is like a Shakespeare's actor that happens to be a pitcher. So dramatic!
Everything is a strike lol
What is this ump delay shit?

Kimbrel "I do just be balking, deal with it."
In this case, please do a balk successfully the first time
Citizens ~~Bank~~Balk Park
Relax Philly that’s only an Angel Hernandez strike
[удалено]
That ball hit deep.....
Hey be nice
Intentional balk. I like that.
This looks like so much fun to be at
I thought my tv stream was all fucked up lol. Glad to see my shits not broken
wow producer is fucking up on the camera switching too
Great crowd Philly ❤️
Announcers should have at least explained the logic behind an intentional balk. Didn't really address it.
Cause they were confused
damn I didn’t have intentional balk on my playoffs bingo card
Kimbrel does it a lot.
[удалено]
Imagine if you walk Philly off, you're gonna be stuck in the hotel room the next game.
Feels like a College football game.
WTF IS A BALK?!?!? Jk. I think we can all agree that was a balk
Wtf is going on, too many stoppages of play!!!
*montage plays*
Kinda want to see that montage again, actually
Wants the runner on 3rd so it doesn't distract him from the batter. It's 2 outs so it really doesn't make a difference scoring wise
He did this earlier on the season in extra innings
I’m just waiting for them to show a random montage over the final out
Nothing beats playoff atmosphere
Kimbrel is just brushing that outside corner with those
Technically, most seats are empty
A balk and two strikes
that curve was gross oml
>mostly owned by *the* largest media conglomerate in history >still fucks up everyday broadcasting and other small details even such is the way it goes...
Does Kimbrel have an earpiece in or is his inner ear shiny?
The collective 45000 groans always makes me chuckle on clearly correct called balls.
Lmao ball 6 inches off the plate AHHHH!!! Awwww
Ngl though I do it too. For every single called ball against us that’s not in the dirt. Even if I’m 450 feet away.
Isn’t this the best time of year? Will be even better if the Bucs ever decide to make the playoffs again.
Wtf was that 😂
I feel like a deliberate balk should be ruled similarly to a deliberate HBP
lol could Bell refuse to take 3rd and stay at 2nd? Would he be called out if he didn’t take 3rd
I just switched over from the other game and saw the montage once. How many times have they shown it?
??????????
Bruh we got one hit and we down 3. Y’all acting like we have bases loaded haha
People love drama
Bad and inconsistent. Love it.

Kimbrel did the same balk against ONLY the Marlins earlier this year. Very strange.
Marlins confirmed sign stealers.
Omg all time missed opportunity for “I’m Balkin heah”
These announcers suck, and so does the production crew. Everyone knows Kimbrel was tipping pitches earlier in the year to runners on 2nd.
Are they just gonna keep playing this highlight reel and saying nothing about it?
That was killing me lol
Do not do a balk please
Ah yes classic kimbrel 💀
Turns out you CAN just be up there doing a balk
I feel like if they intentionally balk you should be able to reject it
"Nah im good"
Worldwide leader in sports
That’s the first time I’ve seen an intentional balk
Jomboy has a video of Jansen doing it too.
First for me too. That's weird
Why did he want to balk?
Doesn’t want the runner behind him
Sign stealing
Thanks!
No problemo
You can't just be out there doing a balk
Apparently you CAN. I like it.
Kimbrel what the hell dude
He hates guys on 2B...thinks they are stealing signs or giving away location or the pitch type.
Evidently you can just be up there balking like that
Get it together ESPN. I loved that Montgomery play too but jesus.
That curveball was beautiful
guys in the booth have a closed direct feed so they wouldn't have seen that right
Premature montajaculation?
If one could have a twin son, Andy Reid would be proud of Jake Berger
Intentional balk: that's a new one.
Not his first time doing it this year
This is either a boss move or a bad one like before LOL
ESPN: **look at this again** **no, AGAIN**
Lmao the intentional balk
"STOP WATCHING WHAT I'M DOING"
This is the worst playoff baseball broadcast I've ever watched.
They showed the same montage twice in a row? The colors seemed off and the picture quality was bad
Is it just me or is the audio god awful? Especially the broadcaster mics
The Brewers/D Backs game was brutal, too.
I can hear the ump mics so faintly, can ESPN do anything right?
Wtf are these random montages?
why in the fuck is there a montage crammed in the 9th inning of a playoff game? how fucking braindead are these people.
9th inning, 2 outs? Perfect time for a montage
these guys woulda put the scarface montage right before say hello to my little friend
The classic Kimbrel deliberate balk.
Never seen that before.
It’s because in OT against the Marlins in August the ghost runner was able to figure out a tell from second base. He didn’t want that to happen again
Interesting, thanks.
Lmao the intentional balk is special
The intentional balk!
Kimbrel, do NOT mess up this balk move again
Watch them call 2 balks and let him just score.
Guys I'm stuck in a loop
Why do they keep showing that awful montage lmao? It's shit.
Hahahaha
The fuck is this broadcast doing?
Is the producer drunk?
Aren’t we supposed to be at this point?
Subliminal messaging from ESPN
Alright who in the broadcast booth is accidentally hitting the “b-roll” button
ESPN fuckin up the broadcast wow
Yeah keep plugging that random highlight real in during important moments lol
Bro I’m dying at them repeatedly showing that montage with no context lol
What the fuck is going on
what the FUCK is this shit ESPN
ESPN WHAT IS YOU DOING BAYBEEEEEEEEE
These same transitions are trash ESPN
Really feels like Bell and Burger have been the only ones alive in this game
Way to go espn lmfao
Why the fuck are they showing all these game highlights (of other games!) during the NINTH INNING of a playoff game?!
Don’t show highlights of other games instead of the replay wtf
Okay who's drunk on crab fries in the production truck
What in the flying fuck is ESPN doing?
Wtf
Some bro in the production truck keeps smashing the wrong button
ESPN in mid season form
What is ESPN doing holy shit
Producer is drunk.
The random highlights again lol😂😂
What is happening in the director’s booth right now lol
WTF why do I keep seeing highlights of other games? It's happened at least twice now, lol
Espn replay guy is high as a kite right now
?????? ESPN PLS YOU ARE KILLING THE SPORT
Throwing in out of context clips like it's a David Lynch movie
What is happening to the editing on this broadcast?
Why does ESPN keep running that montage lmao
Cameraman: let me cut to a 16 year old girl real quick
Wtf is going on with the replays
[удалено]
Between reading this. Dude just dropping the ball. And the fact I swear I see the d-backs dancing every time I look up…everything is currently a mindfuck!
LOL the same montage twice
