OFFICIAL MLB 2022 THREAD

8-2 ChiSox in the 9th and the Guards come back and win it 12-9.

Fucking NAYLOR!

Holy shit
Dude went from may not play this season, to back but still recovering to setting recorrds
First player with two three-plus-run home runs in the ninth inning or later in the same game, then add his RBI-double in the 8th inning, Naylor became the first player with at least eight RBI from the eighth inning on since the RBI became an official statistic in 1920.

He was already having a hell of a season and
wow
Naylor drove in 21 runs in 69 games prior to the injury that ended his season last year This year, he has already driven in 21 runs but has needed only 19 games to do it.

Holy shit that was the most fun I've had watching a game in a very long time.

Naylor had been getting his ass ridden all. game. long. by the fans next to the dugout and next to 1st base for reasons I can't imagine other than ChiSox fans are just little Ozzie Guillens - assholes, the lot of em (and Naylor is widely regarded as a great guy).

His bat flip after the slam in the 9th followed by the quiet "shushing" of the fan by the dugout was capped off by an epic helmet toss and many f-bombs into the dugout camera (hard to find video of that this morning, shocking, MLB). That fan got tossed.

Then he makes a stretch play at 1st after Jose digs out the inning ending hit to send it to extras.

Then when he hit the 3 run homer in the 11th and he was not quiet. Pointing to his friends by 1st base, chest thumping, another helmet toss, and just chills up and down the dugout.

That was fucking awesome.

Dang. I turned it off. What time did it end?

12:30ish?

I may have had a few pops there at the end and didn’t pay attention.

[BmillsSkier]

Found video of how fired up Naylor was after his go-ahead HR. This man was JACKED up last night!
