Holy Shit! Noelvi Marte, A Guy With Zero Outfield Experience Before This Year, Just Saved The Reds Season With An Insane Home Run Robbery To Beat The Pirates
That sound you just heard is Frank the Tank throwing Mikey Bets through his living room wall. What a fucking play by Noelvi Marte to win it for the Reds. You wanna talk about a season saving play? That's it. You simply couldn't get swept by the Pirates if you're the Reds. It's bad enough it came down to this to avoid it, but they had to have today. Shout out to the fans in that area for being smart and getting out of the way. Way too often these days a fan will just forget the game situation and reach over to fuck over their own guy. That was elite awareness there to give him as much room as they could.
Now with this W and a Mets loss tonight they'll control their own destiny heading into the weekend for the NL's 3rd wild card spot. And keep in mind Marte was playing the infield during the first half of the season. He actually didn't play OF at any level of minor or major league baseball before this year.
This time for baseball is unreal. If the games matter as much as they do for teams like Cincy then there's nothing better. Now all the pressure swings back to the Mets tonight with their rookie phenom Nolan McLean going in Wrigley. I'm rooting my ass off for the Red Sox as the Yankees try to steal the AL East title from them. You've got the whole Tigers free fall collapse still happening. The Astros are fighting for their lives. This is the best.
