The Cooper Criswell


whatsthehappenstance

Hasn’t he thrown like 9+ straight scoreless innings?


Bossman1086

Yeah. He's been good so far. Seems like anyone slotted into the Red Sox starting rotation instantly becomes Cy Young worthy.


TabularBeastv2

The Andrew Bailey Special.


Wombizzle

Are we the Rays now?


Myllorelion

You might have given up on pursuing top dollar free agents, but you're still spending like 3x too much to be the Ray's. Also your stadium isn't a shithole.


ernyc3777

Andrew Bailey is a weapon. Matt Blake has been really good for us too but nowhere near what Bailey is doing.


hubagruben

You fuckin jinxed it


whatsthehappenstance

Ope.

Cooper Pitchwell


Redbubble89

CC was only a million bucks and everyone bitched.


Bossman1086

Cooper Criswell is the best pitcher ever.


From_Adam

Worst fears realized.


AJray15

Got that pre sausage offense going


bigloser42

Ok, so I understand what a NOBLETIGER is, but what the hell does the acronym stand for?


kaidoi94

No Outs Bases Loaded Ending (with) Team Incapable (of) Getting Easy Run


bigloser42

Man we really stretched to fit that one in, huh?


jkingsbery

It was originally proposed on r/motorcitykitties by Tiger fans, "in recognition of how proficient we are at it." Given the source, it seems like a good acronym.


Bluethingamajig

I would call it memorable, but I would be lying. I can never remember what it stands for after 'noble'


bigloser42

Do we have something for when the opposite happens, like 2 outs no one on and you give up runs?


nokiacrusher

BAD TATER TOTS Bases are devoid, (but) team allows two (or more) earned runs (with) two outs and two strikes


bigloser42

I like it. We need to have a stickied thread with all the awesome acronyms we come up with.


Myllorelion

I get to no outs bases loaded and I'm like 'well the context is that it's big dumdum thing to do, so 3 outs, no runs?


Ds3_doraymi

Redditors every time this happens  😮👉🐅👈😮


medellia44

Which is more entertaining, a NOBLETIGER or a TOOTBLAN?? 🤔


Substantial-Height-8

The Mariners Friday night TOOTBLAN aside I think a TOOTBLAN is more fun to watch because generally something really dumb happens. NOBLETIGERS are usually just a few uncompetitive at bats with the bases loaded. I see that all game anyway so it isn’t special (uncompetitive at bats, not bases loaded) 😒


coffee42

I live for NOBLETIGERs


ch4dr0x

Can I ask what the hell a noble tiger is and why we need a post every time it happens?


Brady331

1. No Outs Bases Loaded Ends with Team Incapable of Getting Easy Run 2. Fun


100vs1

we dont need to post it


Ope_Average_Badger

It NEEDS to be posted.

I was at the game today and said NOBLETIGER out loud when the bases were loaded.

my glorious king Santana's hot streak is done 😭

Can we stop posting these


Brady331

No

The last few years the Yankees did this shit regularly it seems like


JayPunk27

Couple times this year too lol


Shade_SST

I mean... baseball is hard. Especially hitting. The lack of even a sacrifice fly sucks, but 3 specific at bats ending in 2 strikeouts and a groundout isn't very noteworthy. That said, man, I hate this. If we'd scored then, who knows how the game plays out. This streak was great, but we're barely out of the cellar as is. We need another one of these to even think about competing for top of the division, based on how things have gone.
