This Knorp kid is starting to really develop a personality, and I love it. The other rookie to watch is the clutch HR hitting Sailer.
And I'm in the middle of the third game and concur... by far the best series of the season.

Maybe Knorp isn't a rookie?

Re: Major League Whiffle Ball (MLW)
Sailor is crushing the ball and Jimmy Lincecum, as they called Knorp in that series throws filth. That other rookie for that team, (the game 2 starter, I think), has a nasty curve as well. Coughlin on the call was very impressed with it.

The D-backs with their... er, backs against the wall.
This was highly entertaining. Don't skip the 3rd game.

Game three was nuts. Some of Knorp's pitches were utter filth.

Hell of a series by the Dbacks. Had to have it too. Wish they hadn't mic'd Knorp. Seems like a bit of an idiot. Sucked that the Gators were without Jorgensen(sp?). He's been huge for them.

He's a lovable idiot, though.
That one dude came out of nowhere for the 'backs. That said, the pitching was pretty soft for the Gators without Jorgensen on the mound.

It's just great to see these guys like Chapman and others come in and just completely change the complexion of the league.
You know this league's days are numbered. Guys are starting to graduate college and their summers are going to start to dry up. In the next 2 or three years, it will be interesting to see if they can keep recruiting new guys to come in and keep things going.

New series posted. Not a ton of on field action, but the playoff seedings adds to the drama.

Re: Major League Whiffle Ball (MLW)
One of the things I have enjoyed is just watching the wear of the field. Just reminds me of my best friend growing up. We would play epic wiffleball games day after day after day (he still has years of scorebooks we used to score the games). Still have an issue with my shoulder from blowing it out pitching.
But what I vividly remember because of these videos is the anger from his dad of us wearing down spots in the backyard grass. His dad coming out and demanding we adjust the field so the grass could recover.

I haven't ever followed them in "real time," but I was thinking they better start putting in some double-headers are they're going to be playin in the snow up there.Gunpowder wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 6:26 amDecember 2nd: "A beautiful sunny day in Michigan as we're here for the season finale"govmentchedda wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 4:08 pm About fucking time.

The pitch that ends NLDS game 2 is FILTHY.
As is the pitch that strikes out Dan Schultz in G3 2 inning.

World Series Game 1 is out
Kind of a boring game. Best of 5. Curious how long it will take them to put out the next game.

Re: Major League Whiffle Ball (MLW)
Really good match-up, the 1st game scoreline notwithstanding.
Comes down to Kyle S being able to keep these guys from teeing him up. Which, kind of to your point, one of the things they did to the other brother (Gators) was to start timing up his pitches, so that by the end they were just mashing. If this series is all done in one day, I predict the Gators win this thing in 4, maybe 5.

Re: Major League Whiffle Ball (MLW)
Yeah I think they played these in one day. the league website does put the game day (8/25) but they don't release the box score/stats until after the youtube is live.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Thu Nov 19, 2020 5:36 pm Really good match-up, the 1st game scoreline notwithstanding.

Not a ton of drama in this one, but it must suck to have the guy ahead of you intentionally walked 2x in a 3 inning game.

I missed the new 30 for 30 that came out on Monday.
Slightly different, because they don't have any archival footage of these guys, but the title ("New Kids") sums up the Gators quite well.
Kyle S. is really coming into his own on the production of these things. His portfolio to move into the professional realm is pretty impressive.

Looks like some real contributors coming in... And starts to answer how/if the league is going to live when the OGs start to graduate/get real jobs.
