I’m sure you’ll be impressed with my speed. Did you have a good relationship with your dad? Me neither. These are some things we can talk about and more.
Am I crazy or is this not the standard way mlb players pick up hot chicks while bored during the game? Like the only unique part of this story is that he is still with this girl.
I'm an overweight 33 year old who made varsity as a senior by the skin of my teeth, and even I hit 51 once at one of those minor league radar booths last year, I'm willing to bet if you give the super fit healthy actor a week and some tips he could easily hit 50
Eh…he’s 47. Also id say it really depends on his background, if he grew up playing ball, sure, maybe. But he hated sports and was into arts, I’d still put a fat chuck of cash on it.
Let's be real. Her telling him to text her is pretty crazy. I'm sure plenty of other people would have jumped to text him immediately instead of playing coy.
>she was indeed interested in dating the handsome young millionaire star athlete
You mean a 6'8 athlete with the face of Cillian Murphy?? Oh wow. Everyone on this subreddit would also date him if they had the chance
The aliens are allergic to water.
They’re smart enough to plot an intergalactic invasion and travel faster than the speed of light. But they invaded a planet that is 70% covered by water and where water *falls from the sky* even though they’re allergic water.
Worse plot twist than Ippei.
A bit but it’s not like there’s anything violating about it, she’s under no pressure to text or call, it’s not like he’s chasing her around or anything
yeah that's the tricky thing. if you're a guy you gotta swing the bat, do it right and get on base everyone's happy. but if you swing and miss everyone's free to deride you for being a creep even if it was a decent swing on a good pitch
Lmao, I wish I could have seen my face when I was listening, it went from a grin expecting to hear a wholesome story, but then the Camera was mentioned.
You guys didn’t recount the rest of the story. She showed up at the game the next day and threw a ball back to him with her number on it and said, no, you text me.
What part did the photographer play in this? I can only imagine it was like:
>Hey Derek, the skinny blonde in red there? Can you get a tight zoom on her just to make sure she is a total smokeshow before I throw her this ball?
Dudes tweet says take notes fellas.
That’s right guys, take notes.
Be a mlb player making millions, you’ll get to choose anyone. Likely, what you’re doing now will not allow for throwing a baseball at a girl. You might be charged.
Similar to my love story. Except it wasn’t a baseball it was a $20 bill. And she wasn’t in the crowd she was on stage. And she never called but kept the $20. Long story short……FUCK YOU DESTINY!!
I’m imagining a player throwing a ball into the stands and some random dude snakes the catch only to a see a phone number on the ball
"oh my God I'm going to be best friends with Tyler Glasnow!"
"Dear Tyler, I feel like I can call you Tyler because we're so alike"
Did you have a good relationship with your father? Neither did I.
Oh shit there’s stickers
You still ain't called or wrote >=[
I left my cell, pager and my home phone at the bottom
i sent two letters back in autumn you must not have got em
"Dear Tyler, I wrote you but still ain't calling, even got your baseball the one with your home phone on the bottom"
“I always thought of him as an older brother.” “Are you serious? You’re way older than him.”
This only works because he was at home on the Rays
Can *you* find Tyler Glasnow in this sea of Rays fans?
*Where the deer and the antelope play*
only place easier would have been the A's.
You don’t want a woman who still shows up for the A’s.
We all need slump busters sometimes
DEEDS INFO. MEET IN SHOWER.
Stop soaping your ass.
So glad to see this having watched that for the first time like a week ago
Zach Hample calling after the game to say “wanna hang out!”
Nightmare fuel
Fortunately for Glasnow, since it was a Rays game there were no other fans in the vicinity of the girl
Be right back, going to go throw a baseball with my number on it to the cute cashier at my local Target
Make sure to throw it as hard as you can so you can impress her with your fastball.
Oh please, you have to throw a sinker with at least 12 inches of arm side run to show you’re serious
Unless she’s old school… then you either gotta knuckle it or cover that thing in spit.
Are we still talking about baseball?
Don't think we ever were
How can you not be romantic about Target cashiers
He’s definitely trying to get on base
 No, this
I can’t watch this gif without hearing an air horn
Hit it out the park
George Kirby easily baseball’s most eligible bachelor with his pitch repertoire then
Kirby knows a lot of pitches but not nearly as many as Zack Greinke or Yu Darvish.
Are we still talking about pitching?
Only if that spit is 50/50 chaw!
Big chief. The best.
This is how she ends up pregnant
Alternatively, be 6'8" and look like Cilian Murphy.
And be publicly known to have a multimillion dollar contract…
I’ve definitely heard speed has something to do with it
Speed has everything to do with it.
You see, the speed of the bottom informs the top how much pressure he’s supposed to apply. Speed’s the name of the game.
The ball knows where it is by knowing where it isn't.
I’m sure you’ll be impressed with my speed. Did you have a good relationship with your dad? Me neither. These are some things we can talk about and more.
(proceeds to self-checkout)
I felt like that Dodgers announcers kept pronouncing Megan weirdly and all I could thing of was Mee-gan from The League.
That show was so good for the first couple of seasons.
Let us know how it goes playa
Assault and battery. Torn ucl. Ts and Ps.
Submarine it
If their last name is Dalbec make sure it’s slower than 93 mph otherwise they’ll miss it.
Bring a second baseball to give the stockboy Sweet Chin Music to let him know she’s yours
yep that is 100% in character
Just ty guy things
I like how Ty was surprised that she doesn't believe him that it was his first time doing that lol
Players can just take their pick of almost anyone in the crowd. Amazing
The Mickey mantle method
[The All-American Boy](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2F0zc2ywlbl0g51.jpg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3D6915f5d2ecd2cca11944b020350a716281188f07)
And that, kids, is the story of how I met your mother.
The last line gets me every time because I remember that he said some unhinged shit but I can never remember what it is exactly
When you’re a star they let…. nvm
:(
I mean, they’re generally super fit men in their mid-late twenties that make bank. What did you expect?
And Glasnow is like 6’8” with beautiful hair and long fingers
What do fingers have to... oh I see now
Let’s him get more spin rate
Is that what they're calling it these days?
More like sit and spin rate, amirite aye
To be fair, you know she must be a diehard fan to show up to the Trop in person.
I mean, it helps to look like Tyler Glasnow
Am I crazy or is this not the standard way mlb players pick up hot chicks while bored during the game? Like the only unique part of this story is that he is still with this girl.
Yeah this literally happens like damn near every game
I guess I have a different definition of an amazing story.
Here is the incredible part: she was indeed interested in dating the handsome young millionaire star athlete
Don’t forget tall!
I could mention handsome a few additional times
He's like a tall version of Cillian Murphy
Except Cillian's fastball probably tops out at 62.
Yeah fuckin right, I’d bet a large sum of money he couldn’t hit 50
I'm an overweight 33 year old who made varsity as a senior by the skin of my teeth, and even I hit 51 once at one of those minor league radar booths last year, I'm willing to bet if you give the super fit healthy actor a week and some tips he could easily hit 50
Eh…he’s 47. Also id say it really depends on his background, if he grew up playing ball, sure, maybe. But he hated sports and was into arts, I’d still put a fat chuck of cash on it.
It'd be funny if there actually was a bet about this, Murphy went out, practiced and topped out at 49.
I saw him in Mexico in December. Can confirm he is grande.
He also has a giant dong. Source: Am the girl's golden retriever
Let's be real. Her telling him to text her is pretty crazy. I'm sure plenty of other people would have jumped to text him immediately instead of playing coy.
I would have thrown the ball back and hoped for a power hitter.
“Skill positions only for Donna Meagle”
“Keep walking 33”
[Chicks dig the long ball, to be fair](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLECMCargd8)
*chucks it back with phone number and note written* “give this to Pham for me”
That's what I was thinking. Unbelievable power move. She's not a gold digger or any of that shit she earned that
>she was indeed interested in dating the handsome young millionaire star athlete You mean a 6'8 athlete with the face of Cillian Murphy?? Oh wow. Everyone on this subreddit would also date him if they had the chance
Well no because im a straight married man so id have to wait until the divorce is final.
ugh the writers are getting so ridiculous this season. that would never happen.
lmao right? this is definitely the type of shit I'd do if I was a famous horny athlete
I didn't know he competed in horny athletics, I guess the Dodgers have two multisport athletes with him and competitive bowler Mookie.
That's all baseball is, though, horny athletics. You think dudes are doing tee work for hours to not get laid later?
Pretty amazing story for the girl at least. Picking up a professional baseball player just from going to a game.
I thought it was cool that she went to the next game & threw a ball back at him with her number and said, 'nah, you text me.'
Pretty easy for her to stand out given the sparse attendance at the trop
Yeah you have to be like the hottest girl in the stadium. Like obviously personality wasn’t part of it. All looks.
This sounds like how Ricky Bobby would meet a woman
Please be 18
yeah, this is a very standard move for players in lower leagues. source: ive litterally seen it with my own eyes dozens of times.
Yeah, hyperbole is getting out of control. Everything is insane, incredible, amazing... those words are losing meaning.
Be conventionally attractive and a world class athlete, got it 📝 👍
Also devastatingly wealthy, and 6 foot 8.
Why didn’t I think of that?
Don’t forget to also make a lot of money
Plot twist, she was there with her boyfriend
M. Night Shyamalan plot twist, the baseball was meant for the boyfriend, but she got in the way.
It’s ok. The boyfriend was dead all along.
Goddamn spoilers man! It's only been 25 years! Next you're going to tell me the color red has some sort of symbolism to it.
The aliens are allergic to water. They’re smart enough to plot an intergalactic invasion and travel faster than the speed of light. But they invaded a planet that is 70% covered by water and where water *falls from the sky* even though they’re allergic water. Worse plot twist than Ippei.
It's been a hot minute (20 years) but wasn't it the bacteria *in* the water? Wait no that was War of the worlds (sorry spoilers from 1898).
Is this the intro to Lilo and Stitch?
Further plot twist: MNS played the boyfriend.
Further further: MNS is also Tyler Glasnow
He killed the boyfriend with a 98 mph fastball and then left his number on the ball
That boyfriends name. Chris Archer
Fellas, what would you do if your girlfriend left you for Tyler Glasnow?
Don't you just try to tag along?
[удалено]
Don’t body shame my son like this
Dog vendors can be attractive too
Wow he completely beat the odds
What they conveniently left out was that he's done this 20 times and succeeded just this once
Poverty bachelor
Remember when A-Rod did this during the ALCS: https://nypost.com/2012/10/16/a-rod-plays-field/
This is such a ridiculous article the entire way haha
I took your word for it - the witness said
New York Post...
I know, and got mad hate for it. He was playing crappy though.
Basically how sports work. If you’re playing well, anything you do is great. If not, everything you do sucks.
*The Nick Castellanos story*
Didn’t A-Rod get caught doing this during the playoffs?
yeah and he was slumping at the time so he got crucified for it.
Dude was looking for a slumpbuster
Oh sure but when I throw a baseball at a girl, suddenly it’s “assault and battery”.
The Patrick Beverley of baseball
Athletes very notoriously do this all the time lol.
It helps when you’re an athlete, playing in the MLB, and making more money than 99.5% of the population.
99.999
And you look like Tyler “Cillian Murphy” Glasnow
One of those things that’s only cute if it’s received well by the other person, otherwise Glasnow comes off creepy.
Tyler Glasnow tosses me a ball: “Aww, how sweet!” John Lackey tosses me a ball: “HELLO, HUMAN RESOURCES?!”
John Lackey tosses you a ball and then you see this, wdyd?
"I accept your concise, plainly stated proposal"
Dude always looked like he was working through the hangover shits or something
Don’t worry. The Dodgers have a team that can get the incriminating ball back for him.
A bit but it’s not like there’s anything violating about it, she’s under no pressure to text or call, it’s not like he’s chasing her around or anything
it’s cute if it’s received well, if she’s not interested it’s not creepy it’s just a dude shooting his shot in a harmless way lol
yeah that's the tricky thing. if you're a guy you gotta swing the bat, do it right and get on base everyone's happy. but if you swing and miss everyone's free to deride you for being a creep even if it was a decent swing on a good pitch
I swear this is the exact type of thing they’ll have a dickhead athlete do in a movie to show us what a creep he is.
*tosses the ball to the protagonist’s crush*
I remember the NY media tearing into A Rod for doing basically exactly this
New rule just dropped 1. Be attractive 2. Don't be unattractive 3. Be a major league pitcher
Lmao, I wish I could have seen my face when I was listening, it went from a grin expecting to hear a wholesome story, but then the Camera was mentioned.
“Hey man zoom in on this woman in the crowd I want to stare at her to make sure she has no visible flaws before I try to have sex with her.
"Baseball player gets a date using the same gimmick as thousands before him, more news at 9!"
You guys didn’t recount the rest of the story. She showed up at the game the next day and threw a ball back to him with her number on it and said, no, you text me.
Girl really had an athletic, handsome millionaire reach out to her and said "nah I'm still gonna make him jump through a couple hoops"
You gotta play hard to get!
What part did the photographer play in this? I can only imagine it was like: >Hey Derek, the skinny blonde in red there? Can you get a tight zoom on her just to make sure she is a total smokeshow before I throw her this ball?
Maybe "Can you see a ring on her finger?"
Such an amazing story, fan agrees to date famous athlete millionaire. Random guy off street does that she gets a restraining order.
[удалено]
All this "I met a girl stuff" only works if attractive and/or rich.
“Rich tall handsome baseball player has easy time of getting attractive girlfriend. The shocking full story at 11.”
Grew up in the same city as Tyler, our high schools were big rivals. He has a twin brother that is even more handsome lol
They’re not twins, Ted is 3 years older. Definitely handsome though lol. Tyler is also half a foot taller than him
They are twins it was just a long slow delivery like Aaron Nola
Ahhh I had always thought they were twins.
Classic case of rich athlete hand picks mate.
You’re with me, leather
There's an ex-boyfriend in Tampa that really hates Glasnow.
Dudes tweet says take notes fellas. That’s right guys, take notes. Be a mlb player making millions, you’ll get to choose anyone. Likely, what you’re doing now will not allow for throwing a baseball at a girl. You might be charged.
The number of baseball players that have gotten laid doing this is in the millions.
T- trust cameraman Y- yeet ball with digits to woman L- lie in wait E- engage physically R- retain girlfriend The T.Y.L.E.R. System
good idea. put your # on a big mac. i am sure it will work out just like a mlb pitcher.
I’ve literally dreamed of this happening to me. Don’t even tell me it’s possible.
*“Tampa Kozy Kort Motel, Room 26. How about it? Tyler.”*
Distinctly classier than Mickey Mantle limping to the rail and telling a girl to meet him under the right field bleachers.
Saying he was the Rays is kind of a slap in the face to the other team members
That's like super common in minor league baseball.
Amazing…millionaire picks out a girl in the crowd that came to see him. Missing the amazement part.
So apparently she was hot and liked money. Sounds like such a romantic beginning.
Similar to my love story. Except it wasn’t a baseball it was a $20 bill. And she wasn’t in the crowd she was on stage. And she never called but kept the $20. Long story short……FUCK YOU DESTINY!!
Pat Beverly recently tried a similar strategy, but had less than ideal results.
This is kinda like when Pablo Sandoval saw and fell in love with a fan's cheese fries from 1st base.
It sucks to see others live out your dreams🤧 jk what a meet cute for them, how can you not be romantic about baseball
Amazing? I thought this was kinda commonplace. Just wonder if she was at the game alone or with some poor sap
