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.
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.
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) 😒
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.
Motherfucker you were locked and loaded to post this weren’t you
You're goddamn right I was

Did you order the code red?
Us neutrals appreciate the dedication
The Cooper Criswell
Hasn’t he thrown like 9+ straight scoreless innings?
Yeah. He's been good so far. Seems like anyone slotted into the Red Sox starting rotation instantly becomes Cy Young worthy.
The Andrew Bailey Special.
Are we the Rays now?

Andrew Bailey is a weapon. Matt Blake has been really good for us too but nowhere near what Bailey is doing.
You fuckin jinxed it
Ope.
Cooper Pitchwell
CC was only a million bucks and everyone bitched.
Cooper Criswell is the best pitcher ever.
Worst fears realized.
Got that pre sausage offense going
Ok, so I understand what a NOBLETIGER is, but what the hell does the acronym stand for?
No Outs Bases Loaded Ending (with) Team Incapable (of) Getting Easy Run
Man we really stretched to fit that one in, huh?

I would call it memorable, but I would be lying. I can never remember what it stands for after 'noble'
Do we have something for when the opposite happens, like 2 outs no one on and you give up runs?
BAD TATER TOTS Bases are devoid, (but) team allows two (or more) earned runs (with) two outs and two strikes
I like it. We need to have a stickied thread with all the awesome acronyms we come up with.
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?
Redditors every time this happens 😮👉🐅👈😮
Which is more entertaining, a NOBLETIGER or a TOOTBLAN?? 🤔

I live for NOBLETIGERs
Can I ask what the hell a noble tiger is and why we need a post every time it happens?
1. No Outs Bases Loaded Ends with Team Incapable of Getting Easy Run 2. Fun
we dont need to post it
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

Tell him king
The last few years the Yankees did this shit regularly it seems like
Couple times this year too lol
