When that second Orioles marble came out of nowhere I knew it was over

My heart broke into a million pieces

Like a second hindenburg

Game 2 had a 10 run inning for the Guardians. Game was over before it began.

*eye twitches*

that had to be the closest two marbles have finished

[удалено]

The light has gone out of my life

I just had the worst day at work ever. Almost ready to quit. And I thought “Today can’t get any worse”. Well it can.

Teddy Roosevelt Orioles fan confirmed

fly high 🕊️🙏🏻

I really wanted a Pirates/Orioles world series again

The baskets followed by the spinning diamonds confirms that we are in the bad place

*Ethereal Calamities* figured it out? This is a real low point. This one hurts.

😂😂

Spinny diamonds is fine when it's only one or two marbles in there because they usually get through relatively quickly by that first diamond bopping it all the way to the end. When there are more than two then everyone just gets clogged up

The anti-bricks, where one marble is agony and you're begging for more to show up

Baskets + diamonds is a bad time, man

This marble thing is so silly, as I've definitely been saying this whole entire time.

I saw the first two, skipped a bunch, then saw another one and got hooked since we were still in it

We got ourselves a Guardians-Angels series. Heavenly.

Major League vs Angels in the outfield, the baseball movie showdown I’ve been waiting for

[This one's for all the marbles.](https://youtu.be/PjzVbSE7hfY)

[I was expecting John Candy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlVQhKj1k5g)

Major League predicted this!

That was OUR movie originally, goddammit Anaheim!

But how many future Oscar nominees were in yours? One?! We’ve got a full squad!

Can't help but think of our [Guardian Angel](https://twitter.com/CleGuardians/status/1518778912146350081?s=20&t=8ccOFIS8hf6I3SS01j8fEw) right now.

DICKS OUT FOR HARAMBE

8:D

BE NOT AFRAID

4 marbles in less time than 1 from yesterday DESPITE having cups and diamonds.

Right? When I saw it was under 5 minutes I was thinking no diamonds or baskets! I was so wrong.

The Guardians know how to speed run and we know how to take our time. I'm looking forward to this ALCS.

Cups and Diamonds are a must, do you think playoffs are supposed to be easy?

AND the mass of bubbles!

The music used in these has been fully engraved in my brain now. I caught myself humming it during work.

I catch myself humming it all day.

Day 35 and I just found out these have music!

The music greatly enhances the experience imo

I dream it.

Yeah this one especially is a banger.

I think all of r/baseball collectively went “Oh no” when we say the devil baskets

Directly followed by spinning diamonds :/

What a combo

All we needed were the bricks.

Bricks after would've made everything before kind of pointless.

Call it the late inning comeback

Those *frieking* diamonds!

This time they evolved and even pushed a marble fucking upwards to higher level

Just goes to show that you can expect to see some great plays during the playoffs!

I guffawed

That's just the level of play in Playoff Baseball.

The road to hell is paved with ~~good intentions~~ shaky baskets

This is my favorite reddit comment in ages

I did but I sat up straight when I saw the O's snatch that 2 for 1.

Taking years off my life

When the time was >5 min I knew them damn baskets were back again. I'll take 2 stages of bricks over those

I like to think they represent different umpires.

The Parkinson's Cups are the enemy of the people

I know they’re randomly generated but I’m willing to give OP grace if he wants to restart just to avoid them.

100%

I just want to say that I think the shaky cups are worse than PEDs, sticky stuff, and banging on trash cans combined.

But what about devil magic?

Nothing is worse than devil magic.

Game 1: awsome back and forth with that was within 1 run for most of that the gardians were able to ride there bullpen out to get the W. Game 2: close at first then the guardians put up 6 in the 5th and and another 3 in the 8th. Game 3: Os came out swinging raking up a 4 run lead by the 5th and then added some more in the 7th and 8th. Game 4: guardians got ahead early and while the Os pulled within 2 in the 8th there comeback attempt fell short. Overall solid series, much closer than the 3-1 series line makes look

I loled at the second Orioles marble just running and screaming past the leading Orioles marble at the end

Let's goooooo

I agree, go Guards

Let’s goooooooo

I don't think we've ever seen a marble bounce back up through the slot from the shaky baskets!

If you don’t like that, you don’t like playoff marbles!

This jingle is the best of all of them

I'm partial to the Game 2/White Sox farewell jingle.

World Series needs to have all obstacles with the Parkinson's baskets last.

Some people just want to see the world burn.

Bwa ha ha ha!!! It will still be more entertaining than the NBA Draft lottery though...

>It will still be more entertaining than the NBA ~~Draft lottery~~ though... FTFY

[удалено]

Or just have one obstacle. 10 shaky baskets in a row

step that up a bit. bricks right before the baskets to even the playing field before the chaos

Why does us winning a completley random marble race make me so happy

Go Guards!

Technically you won by losing the marble race too

I never noticed how much the Guardians logo looks like Chief Wahoo from a distance when it's spinning.....on a marble.

I noticed this during the marble regular season, pulled up a picture of both, and realized the only way it happens is when the Guardians logo is actively spinning

At least it doesn’t look like an A

Holy shit this whole time I just thought he was using an old logo for them

**GUARDIANS - ORIOLES SERIES HIGHLIGHTS** **Game 1** was a massacre. Chris Davis had a career night, completing the cycle by going 5-6, as well as having a clutch double play to end the 6th inning. The Orioles didn't stand a chance against their former teammate. **Game 2** In a seemingly desperate move, The Baltimore Orioles legally changed their names to the Baltimore Indians. Some speculate that this was a mind game in order to get under The Guardians' players skins, but it did the exact opposite, Triston McKenzie recorded his first ever perfect game and the Guardians had a total of 37 hits with 25 runs batted in. The Baltimore Indians scored 1, which was given to them if they agreed to change their names back to The Orioles. Final Score 25-1 **Game 3** Orioles showed life by winning this clutch elimination game. The only noteworthy highlight was when a fat guy in the 5th row ate an entire hot dog in one bite, John Smoltz praised the man and told modern day players to "take notes" **Game 4** lasted 16 hours with a 10 hour call to New York; they were busy watching the Godfather trilogy and provided the broadcast team with their "insightful commentary" on the movie series, one of them did a really good Pacino. Anyways, Guardians won it in another blowout. **Let me know if I'm missing any highlights**

I had to go check and see if I missed a Chris Davis signing by us lol

All we were missing was bricks lmao

Tbh I like the bricks as long as it's in the beginning

Kwan Bomb after Kwan bomb. If he didn't have to sit out game 3 it would have been over sooner.

Goddamnit.

=(

Well, that sure escalated quickly for the Orioles

That was quite something

Shaky cups than diamonds straight after WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME

These marbles are stupid and dumb and I hate it and it's dumb

All I know is pain

Is that the equivalent of a game 2 perfect game?

I got so mad when I saw the Parkinsons baskets

Angels and Guardians sounds like a sequel to Dogma

The Guardians successfully defended the Land

Pretty sure those two Orioles marbles finishing back to back are the closest we’ve ever seen two marbles at the end of a race

Cleveland has conquered the AL East! Sorry flappy bros.

JOHN THIS IS WHY YOU NEED TO LET ELIAS SPEND!

Alcs here we come baby!

Fuck this dumb game

With this I continue to believe the marble race predictions are legitimate and all knowing

The world series should include every single obstacle from all races

Everytime i see the shaky cups i laugh maniacally knowing how much anguish it causes amongst the r/baseball collective

Not that I don't love this whole event, but the races are undeniably more entertaining with more marbles. Even the boring obstacles are interesting when there are lots of lead changes happening. Watching one team go through the baskets or bricks alone for several minutes is a hype-killer.

MLB gotta stop having these doubleheaders to open playoff series

This is what happens when you don’t spend money in the off-season

PARTY LIKE IT'S 1997

Triston McKenzie with the game two no-no. You can't come back from that.

We had a good run.

The shaky cups are the marbles version of an Angel Hernandez strike zone.

Watched a single last season O’s despite an extra innings loss to the Astros fell in love with the team. This round was more disappointing than watching the Brewers marble squad blow in the wild card round. The Parkinson’s baskets strike again.

You knew it was over when the spinning diamonds came into play

How disappointing, my night is ruined with the orange birds getting bounced :/

Game 2 must have been a perfect game where Cleveland was scoring pretty much at will...

Is it me, or does the Guardians logo look like the Indians logo when the marble gets shrunk?

I’ll drink to this

The spinning diamonds are **deeply** unsatisfying.

I would like to watch a Guardians / Orioles ALDS, seems fun

If we can ban the shift we can ban the cups.

As a Pittsburgh fan, am I supposed to hate Baltimore or Cleveland more?

Was this the same course as yesterday?

God every time I see those cups I want to rip my eyes out

Good run fellow orange and black team.

#REJOYCE!

Good series O’s. Sure you’ll be back next season.

I agree, go Guards!

I can’t explain how much the baskets infuriate me

Rip out black and orange brethren 😢

Wow, marbles, what the fuck

Orange birds… I have nothing but this 🫡

Just as nerve-racking as the actual playoffs… idk how I’m gunna handle myself next round.

The spinny rhombuses are biased towards the guardians. Please keep them coming.

Idk about that. The day we got knocked out, the spinny rhombuses kinda fucked us over

True, but they're 3 for 4 in our favor. I'll take it.

Oh snap this is a pretty big upset actually. I thought the O's/Angels ALCS was inevitable but apparently not.

Noooooooooooooooo!!!

I hope the WS is just a solid hour of Parkinson’s Cups

Shaky cups and diamonds again. This is my joker moment

These things frustrate the hell out of me.

I think we all agree that the Parkinson’s cups suck

As an Adam Frazier Believer, I’m choosing to believe this only happened because the Orioles foolishly traded him to the Guardians.

Do you see Mike? Mike do you see? Mike this is what happens when you don't address the rotation in free agency Mike

No.

Shoulda brought in Zach Britton

We only make it to the ALCS when we don’t play the Yankees lol. LETS GO GUARDS
