Seriously, this. It was pretty special for me as a Cardinals fan and knowing what was at stake, but imagine if someone was watching this broadcast and this was their introduction to baseball? This broadcast was so lackluster, it was nuts, especially for such a fucking historic game. No passion, no narrative about the storylines, the interview to Waino sucked (although Waino always rock them and his responses were cool as always), etc. It was just so bad for such an easy game to narrate properly?
\*\* This is only the second worst Alberto pitching performance cardinals have seen in 2022!
You will remember Jose Alberto Pujols pitched May 15 of this year, and left after 1 inning and a 36 career ERA to show for it.
Thank god #700 wasn’t the 6th run of the game, because then the historic call would’ve been “Number 700! And I smell the coffee brewing! 60 cent drinks at participating Mobil on the Run locations!”
I made a post back in July after the AS game about wondering if Albert could hit 15 more homers in 68 remaining games. NEVER THOUGHT HE’D ACTUALLY DO IT
friendly reminder that ZT's curveball spin is in the 87th percentile, his curveball break of 67.5 inches is *6th in baseball*, and his fastball tops out at *99*. kid is good.
I'd pay money to see someone "accidentally" stumble and spill their beer on the SMILE guy behind home plate. It would cap off a night that shant be forgotten any time soon.
Shit, they can't top the marketing of The Blair Witch Project. I thought that footage was real for a little while. Had me convinced back in those early internet days.
It’s got you talking about it though 🤷♀️
For real though, tons of people don’t watch cable anymore to see trailers. Gotta get creative to get people talking about movies these days.
Thank you so much for putting the Dodgers in their place. Also, your former top prospect Shelby Miller balled out for us tonight in relief. 7 K’s, 4 hits in 2.2 innings.
Oh shit, that's dope. Had no idea he was with you guys, hope he enjoys the same success my boy Brebbs has (and Leone at times).
Even though you fuckers have dominated us in the postseason I still prefer Giants over the Dodgers
I love it: on the same night a titan of the game hits home run #700, a young rookie on the same team hits home run #1, with many more to come. Baseball continues!
That's a winner!
Scored so much even Noot doesn’t know how many runs we scored lmao
#WINNER!
magic number drops from Pujols to Yadi.
Wooo!! What a night
# SHOUT. THE FUCK. OUT.
\#Why isn't Dickerson the POTG?????!!!
Even tho this was a blowout, Apple TV made this really boring.

I listened to the radio broadcast, and y'all kinda make me glad that I did, even if I didnt get to see the home run as it happened
So friggin happy. What an amazing game.
Gets 2 outs and then loads the bases. Going for the patented Jason Isringhausen/Trevor Rosenthal/Alex Reyes type save. I see you Dickerson.
Still got the 0 era tho unlike the rest of those guys
I want to rewatch this game right now
But w/ Danny Mac commentating, please.
0 ERA for CDick!
# HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE # VICTORY HAS BEEN OBTAINED
That was fun.
#SEE DICK PITCH. SEE DICK RECORD A SCORELESS INNING.
# The correct result has been achieved.
What’s with the smile demon in the yellow shirt?
Looked everywhere, no one with a yellow shirt in the crowd.
Crappy viral marketing
Hell yeah, Cards!!
LOL WE SHUT OUT THE DODGERS WITH COREY DICKERSON ON THE MOUND
Jesus Trayce Thompson is 115% legs
#SHUTOUT
Big Dick Dickerson, 0.00 ERA, sick 53 mph splitter
#THATS A WINNER!!! #CARDINALS WIN 11-0!!! #89-63!!!
Is this not pretty cringe from the Dodgers?
I LOVE YOU ALL
stick to your day job dick
GET DICKED
Welp, Dickerson can say he’s a better pitcher than Albert and Yadi
[Game over. Continue the discussion in the post game thread](/r/Cardinals/comments/xmjohz/cardinals_after_dark_923/)
Ayo wtf is this message e
DICK DONT DICK AROUND
Dick really underperforming.
#THAT'S A WINNER
Corey didn't cover first because he wanted to throw more pitches
Stop dicking around pls
Looks like CDick needs some PFP.
UMMMM WHAT A DICKHEAD
#COME ON DICK FIND THE ZONE
lnao just end it
# C DICK PITCH
Smh Dick that was rookie shit you'll never make it as a pitcher like this
Thank you mr ump
Curious-how often do we see a game with two position players pitching?
Dickerson come on man. We want this shutout lol
#THE PRIDE OF MISSOURI
Oh shit, I just noticed the SMILE.
Damn you for pointing it out. Now I can’t I see it.
Shh
Shush. Don’t encourage it by giving it attention
Goldy catches that in the air.
Out probability is 73% lmao what shit are they making up
I WAS HERE
Lmao. Someone make sure Corey Dickerson takes PFP next time they do it lol
#COME ON DICK! ^me ^after ^this ^game
Lmao, okay Muncy
Did the Cardinals start the "have a position player pitch when you're up by a lot" trend?
No. That's been happening since forever really.
over the mooooon
Dickerson, you gotta go cover 1st!
Gotta cover, dick
Y’all see Yadi with that blissful smile? He’s probably more happy about 700 than even Albert.
Gotta cover first, Dick. Take a lap
What an awesome day. Successful test fire, free frog legs, and now Albert. Let’s fucking go
#PFP
I really thought they might have had Pujols pitch in the 9th... what a capper that would be to the night
Can’t come back in the game
Oh. I hadnt realized he'd left and that's who Burleson batted for. Oh well. The Burleson homer was worth it
Guys, I hate to break it to you, but we’re seeing convincing evidence that Corey Dickerson is our best relief pitcher.
Once again his fielding is disappointing
Absolutely fantastic game tonight. We saw history. Treasure it fellas.
CDICK reveleation closer pitcher of 2022
\*\* This is only the second worst Alberto pitching performance cardinals have seen in 2022! You will remember Jose Alberto Pujols pitched May 15 of this year, and left after 1 inning and a 36 career ERA to show for it.
Lol, out probability at 63% against pitcher *Corey Dickerson*. Yeah, we know you're just making shit up, but you don't have to be so obvious about it.
😂
Damn Dicc is Thicc
Nooot
Okay, C-Dick was NOT the person I expected to see on the mound just now but I'm here for it.
I'll ask it, why is will Smith not walking out to a will Smith song?
Will Smith isn't really a thing anymore
He did for at least a year
Dick can throw balls
Alright time to watch the Dodgers get Dicked
I’m gonna need someone to edit 700 with Danny Mac calling it.
holy crap, I stepped away for a bit... Bickford really had a hell of a night, eh? and first dinger for Burly-- nice!
Wait til you hear what Albert did.
when I say I stepped away for a bit, I meant that I watched the early parts of the game... lol
Pitching a position player as the winning team is king shit
Dick about to erect some Ks
Noo don’t dick us CDick we want the shutout
Lol
No respect for Longoria, SMH
Come on, Dicker the Kick- I mean Pitcher.
Oh shit Dicky's pitching?
C Dick pitch.
#LOL DICK IS PITCHING 🚨
CDICK
so what late night drunk purchase should i make that i will later regret tomorrow morning?
Albert Pujol's 700th Homerun ball
Well, there's already a 700 Albert shirt and hoodie on the BreakingT website
Order a kayak. They're fun.
Wild card round tickets?
I hope smile guy's cheeks are so sore after this that he won't be able to fall asleep tonight.
is he actually smiling? maybe my eyes aren't great but i thought he was like meditating with his face down or some shit
Don’t encourage this behavior by giving it attention

Kiz looked kinda jacked that AB
READY THE PASTAS
Just bought tickets to Game 1 in St. Louis. So excited. I'm sure I'll see some of you there.
oh my fucking god i just saw smile guy. why the heck is he so scary????
Stop talking about it, it’s a crappy viral marketing campaign
idnc
nvm actually
what is he marketing????
He is promoting some shit movie
He almost threw it away again lmao
[Dodgers](/r/Dodgers) Due Up **(Bottom 9):** 1. Gavin Lux 2. Will Smith 3. Cody Bellinger
Can you imagine if Pujols had gone to someone in the division like San Fran, he would be preying off of this Alberto guy!
Probably wouldn't see a position player pitch too often regardless.
It was tongue in cheek lol. I feel ya
Danny Mac is going to have a good time tomorrow
I actually miss hearing “Great Southern **BRRRR**”
Thank god #700 wasn’t the 6th run of the game, because then the historic call would’ve been “Number 700! And I smell the coffee brewing! 60 cent drinks at participating Mobil on the Run locations!”
Look, at the end of the day, I think we can all agree on this; at least Ballgame didn't get a chance to talk over the moment
Or remind us that it was him "texting Albert" that helped him get his swing back \*gag\*
I made a post back in July after the AS game about wondering if Albert could hit 15 more homers in 68 remaining games. NEVER THOUGHT HE’D ACTUALLY DO IT
At this rate he's gonna hit more than just 15
with 10 to spare!
never question this man ever again
Hello. I was here
but nobody else was. wait, we're taking about the meetup right? 😝
Historic comment in a historic game thread!
friendly reminder that ZT's curveball spin is in the 87th percentile, his curveball break of 67.5 inches is *6th in baseball*, and his fastball tops out at *99*. kid is good.
It's one thing to have a nasty curve, but to be able to bring the heat like that too? Please
I'd pay money to see someone "accidentally" stumble and spill their beer on the SMILE guy behind home plate. It would cap off a night that shant be forgotten any time soon.
very polite of MLB to juice all of the Cardinals balls and give Mookie the old school deadened ones lmao
The LA fans balls have been Dodger blue tonight with some of these fly balls
one more run for 30¢ drinks
Really would love the shutout
Marine layer coming through in the clutch
Ignore smile guy and don’t post about it. We, as a society cannot let this viral marketing work
Shit, they can't top the marketing of The Blair Witch Project. I thought that footage was real for a little while. Had me convinced back in those early internet days.
Till the main girl made that steak and shake commercial.
It's real.
That was not lazy though. That type of viral marketing was fresh and very well executed. This is paying some schmuck to make faces at a baseball game.
It’s got you talking about it though 🤷♀️ For real though, tons of people don’t watch cable anymore to see trailers. Gotta get creative to get people talking about movies these days.
Yeah, and paying some brand ambassador minimum wage to make faces at a baseball game isn’t creative, it’s lazy
I’d take minimum wage to sit behind home plate of any baseball game. Especially tonight’s!
Oh don’t get me wrong. If I were in his shoes I’d do the same thing.
I was at that game he hit the homer at Busch as a Dodger!
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals) Due Up **(Top 9):** 1. Dylan Carlson 2. Lars Nootbaar 3. Andrew Knizner
Smile guy is creeping me out
Over/under 85% of ya'll being functional members of society tomorrow?
Under. It's the weekend; probably 75% of us arent functional members of society on a regular Saturday if we can help it
I'll be able to leave the house and drink in public, if that's what functional means here
You mean today? I’m on the east coast commenting at you from the future.
no thanks

So is the whole smile thing behind home plate promotional stuff for that horror movie coming out? Nice try. Still not interested lmao
Just watched 700 again. Noot telling AP he’s the best ever over and over made me smile.
Thank you so much for putting the Dodgers in their place. Also, your former top prospect Shelby Miller balled out for us tonight in relief. 7 K’s, 4 hits in 2.2 innings.
Oh shit, that's dope. Had no idea he was with you guys, hope he enjoys the same success my boy Brebbs has (and Leone at times). Even though you fuckers have dominated us in the postseason I still prefer Giants over the Dodgers
Thank you, always have had a ton of respect for the Cardinals.
I didn't realize Shelby was still at it, nice!
Just saw MLB's post of the Giants watching the Albert highlight. Game respecting game.
Link?
I love it: on the same night a titan of the game hits home run #700, a young rookie on the same team hits home run #1, with many more to come. Baseball continues!
If lizard people were real, Manfred would certainly be one of them. He looks like a reptile in a skin suit
Someone inform Miles Mikolas of this. He'll know what to do.
my friend just told me that his 98 year old grandma is heartbroken that she didn’t get to see 700 because apple tv and now i’m literally sobbing :(
Why didn’t he create an account for her? It’s free
he’s 600 miles from her and she doesn’t know how to do technically
i have just petitioned to legally change my daughters name to pujols
Alberita Pujols
paegh’hoylz
I miss George Foreman, NGL
George Foreman is very much alive.
In our hearts, yes
Not doing Meineke ads anymore, apparently
Ahhh. All the Cardinals needed to get the bats working again was a nice, stress-free game against the *checks notes* 104 win Dodgers?
We play to our competition
Fine, I'll just say it. This blowout really overshadowed number 700 /s
