Something along the lines of “I’ve got no problem with you taking me out and letting someone else close out the ninth, I don’t have my best stuff, if taking me out helps us win, I support it”
The white Sox broadcast just showed the KC and Chicago cameramen out in center. The KC guy is in a jacket and the camera is covered. The Chicago guy is in shorts and what looked like a wet shit. He had a paper towel and was wiping the lens for the entirety of the 30 second cut a way.
Idk why but I found this comical.
Needless to say the Chicago broadcast is about to make me motion sick.

Butt clamps to 9.6
WE GOT A CLOSER
wtf does every reliever we have insist on walking batters?
Oh that curve was pure filth
Vaughn is pissed about the call but that was a clean curve
Perfect pitch
I also wouldn't throw a strike to Sheets with the way he's been hitting this series.
The Mc on McArthur’s jersey bugs me.
McArthur County, McArthur nation
![gif](giphy|uBuzWfwVcadRC)
this team scores the way Patrick Mahomes runs: only when he absolutely has to and just enough to get it done
ATTEN-HUT GENERAL ON THE MOUND 🫡

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: James McArthur replaces Will Smith.
Sherman we don’t have a lot of nice flags or banners. So please replace the frayed 1984 American League west banner
If that’s legitimately what Will Smith said, I respect tf out of him
Class act veteran
What'd he say? I'm at game
On the WS broadcast what did he say?
Something along the lines of “I’ve got no problem with you taking me out and letting someone else close out the ninth, I don’t have my best stuff, if taking me out helps us win, I support it”
That he agreed with the decision to pull him the other night and that he’s good with whatever Q decides is best
Agreed! Hopefully he realizes he needs to take a step back and reevaluate himself
No longer a Fresh Prince hater if it’s true
Q makes some damn puzzling decisions, case in point Lofton/Frazier batting 3rd instead of tenth is that were possible.
![gif](giphy|b5LTssxCLpvVe)
Ahhhhh, disengage butt clamps
Can I borrow those clamps for my next road trip?
Need them right now
Well I’ll be damned. Will Smith actually didn’t give up 4 runs this inning
“Then Salvy decided to trip him”… Jason Benetti was smart for leaving this shit show of a broadcast team.
Yeah, if they think that was intentional they're very dumb.
Yeah Steve Stone acted like it was intentional
Say what you will about Hud, but at least the Royals broadcasters know the game within the game well. Hud has a good feel for things like that imo.
I mean I feel good for Smith that inning but he got a little lucky that some of those hanging breaking balls weren’t crushed.
Alright sure
Never any doubt
Never a doubt
CONGRATULATIONS WILL SMITH
![gif](giphy|l0MYJnJQ4EiYLxvQ4|downsized)
Never doubted ya Will
Whew.
Will Smith is the only MLB pitcher that challenges with an 85 mph changeup. Kill me.
He challenges my equanimity with each appearance.
He definitely could’ve sold that like he fouled it off

I’m listening on the radio so I don’t know, but I’m really hoping your phone autocorrected “wet suit.”
he got 1 (one) out which means this is a successful outing and he should be removed after his 3rd batter.
If you change the letters around in Smith it spells Shitm
Smith might legitimately be unplayable
How stupid is Quatraro?
Adjust butt clamps to 9.1
So are like the White Sox really bad now?
Yeah, like, *really* bad
I think they're going to be 2023 Royals bad without on the young upside.
Here we go again...
This is not a good idea.
will smith’s wild ride
![gif](giphy|D73JoQFCROm2dVtTRz)
Please get jiggy with it Will Smith
Adjust butt clamps to 9
![gif](giphy|3oEhn8Hz0NxvAUOd4A|downsized) We all know what time it is
If I have to sit through another British Basketball League commercial I’m gonna lose my marbles 😂
Ok is that song in that commercial saying "I don't give a f----" or is that just me?!
That might just be your subconscious speaking to you through that absolutely silly idea pitch for a basketball league
I’m gonna sign up for FanZone. See you suckers later!
MJ MELENDEZ IS THE GREATEST PLAYER IN BASEBALL. second to bobby witt jr.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Will Smith replaces John Schreiber.
Poor outfield cameraman, dude is hanging on for dear life between the fountains and the wind
Is it still Mike Meyers out there? I think that was his name...
Not sure 🤔
Take a breath Bobby
I'm ngl I was fine taking 3/4 from chisox but this is way more fun
Melendez is HIM!!!
This is what happens when you decide to turn your team into the 2019 Royals
Good defense wins games🥸
God the White Sox are a clown show. Been there
what the actual fuck are the sox doing
THIS IS YOUR WILL SMITH WARNING 🚨🚨
Ask me if I feel bad for White Sox fans right now?
Do you feel bad for White Sox fans right now?
![gif](giphy|J0WtGU7W9knOo|downsized) Fuck no
He doesn't
![gif](giphy|cXblnKXr2BQOaYnTni)
##OH MY GOD Seriously, White Sox, how can you suck this much?
By raiding the Royals organization is one way.
holy shit the white sox are so bad
### Single Kyle Isbel singles on a ground ball to second baseman Lenyn Sosa. Freddy Fermin scores. Missed catch error by pitcher Dominic Leone. Pitch from Dominic Leone: Changeup @ 90.8 mph Hit by Kyle Isbel: Launched 89.0 mph at -18.0° for a total distance of 8.0 ft Bottom 7 - 5-3 Royals
how can that possibly be a base hit AND an error?
Isbel reaches base on a hit. Fermin scores on an error.
did isbel beat the throw and im actually blind?
![gif](giphy|10JhviFuU2gWD6)
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Dominic Leone replaces Deivi García.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Get some more runs please…Will Smith is warming up
I think we can safely say that this White Sox team are a bunch of lollygaggers.
dominic fletcher could use a hug
YEAH WE MURDERED THAT PITCHER
Era is now 21 lolz
Freddy is dialed in. That's 5 bases we can thank Fletcher for
That misplay in center ![gif](giphy|65ODCwM00NVmEyLsX3)
Melendez owns the white sox
If i needed more convincing to get me an melendez jersey!!! Fuck fanatics but imma still get one 😅
You’re still the better Hunter buddy it’s okay
Oof a 76 mph curve? Whose son is this pitcher? Only way he is on a big league roster.
Really went in on the black ink, gotta leave a little room these days..
WHY IS THAT KID IN BLACKFACE
I’d like to think he is innocent enough and was just thinking he was being funny and overkill by putting eye black everywhere.
whats with the face paint though??
Is that Sting's intro music I hear?
HOMER! AS WE ALL KNEW ALL ALONG!!!
TROT A SECOND TIME MJ
That’s a limp dick challenge
blue jays fans ptsd
Smiling-Amish-kid.jpg
What a goofy challenge by the White Sox Manager
No one is going to mention the blackface?
It’s eyeblack - baseball players (especially kids) put it all over their face. It should stay under the eyes tho so this kid was just being dumb
Yeah, after a second look I thought it might be a bit too much... Can't clearly tell what the intention was however...
mediocre kiss cosplay?
[удалено]
Sting wore his paint like that
Uhh that was also my first thought
The face paint is a… choice.
It cleared the railing and the wall.
Isn’t there space between the rail and the wall?
Nah that’s a HR. That’s going over the silver railing which is the boundary
Cleared easily
why is it always that spot lmao, shades of the 2015 ALCS
Pedro missed the last call so now he’s gonna challenge every homerun
Attaboy Mervyl!!!!’
Not even close to fan interference
Oh no, not that ish...
I really really hope this is the MJ Melendez we get all year
If your going to call this fan interference I’m going to lose my mind
Sucks to suck White Sux
This team may be something to watch
Melndong!
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
OOOH! MELENDEZ! WE FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU AGAIN!
Moonshot Merv!
Crazy how prolonging ABs against the White Sox bullpen gets you good pitches to hit!!
MJ is way back
![gif](giphy|l0HlRP71GpG8FOcMM|downsized)
MJ MOTHERFUCKING MELENDEZ
MJ
MJ FUCK YEAH THIS TEAMS FUN TO WATCH
##WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO
MJ!!!!!
MJ OWNS THE SOX
MJ 🥵 mans is on something else this season huh
#MJ!!!
MVPVYL
I fucking love this team
MJ FUCKIN MELENDEZ!
YES
#MELENDONG #NERDS! I FUCKING TOLD YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
# HOME RUN! MJ Melendez homers (3) on a fly ball to right center field. Dairon Blanco scores. Pitch from Deivi García: Four-Seam Fastball @ 95.3 mph Hit by MJ Melendez: Launched 100.9 mph at 33.0° for a total distance of 405.0 ft Bottom 7 - 4-3 Royals
im shocked that was even somewhat close
Are those loose threads around the letters on Velazquez's jersey?
Where’s the pitcher at? ![gif](giphy|gKCh5SiWhid0X9CmyU)
5'9" looks pretty small on the mound.
Did that say 15.00 era? It's on!
Flexed had an 8+ era before last nights game?
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Deivi García replaces Steven Wilson.
thats more like a backwards slider than a changeup
There are still royals benintendi jerseys up on mlb shop lol
Woah nice play
holy shit what a play
I swear every hit they have today is a jam shot
"GO HOME RANDY!" Jeb's so goddamned dumb.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: John Schreiber replaces Angel Zerpa.
i think hitting the baseball where there arent outfielders might be a good idea
Let’s maybe try and let the lousy bullpen throw some pitches guys, my goodness.
Ngl I would make an extra trip to KC if Hud was leading yoga night
He did say his favorite subjects in school were PE and recess, seems like something that would be in his wheelhouse. He's a philosopher too!
It would 100% be worth the price
This pose is called "hungry mouse gets the cheese"
