~~This version of Bautista is not instilling confidence as much as the old one did :/~~
~~Come on, big man. Let's go.~~
~~Edit: hit enter without thinking after looking away, he then K'd two. There you go, Mountain!~~
Edit x2: I'm a mega dumbass. Ignore me. I misread gameday, some reason I thought two got on before the Ks. Dude fucking destroyed them, that's our guy!
Absolutely, seriously sucks it played out that way. Glad we got the W but man why’s it always gotta be a train wreck? I worry for our bullpen long term.
SHOULDA PITCHED CANO BRO. YOU GOTTA WANT IT. BAKER. BAUTISTA. CANO. IT'S THAT EASY.
To think, I thought life couldn't get worse than 2022's "GUNNAR WHEN?" Yet here we are.
Lmaooooo. EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT.
Our 2023 “GUNNAR WHEN” along with the BP is now “COWSER WHEN”.
Yeah so they can bring Cowser up and they can flame him as soon as he doesn’t look like prime Bonds up here, like what’s happening with Gunnar. Also see: Stowers. Lol
Hyde has made some decisions that are head scratchers today. Voth, historic guy from the rotation/ long man, likely a guy who needs his warmup, rushed in.
Pinch hitting McCann and then putting Vavra in right field instead of just batting McKenna, who would provide better defense and has hit better than McCann lately..
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/13g3xui).
Why was Mullins playing so angry today? He was on his cycle.
STAHP
Hugs and dubs. Se y’all tomorrow!
No doubt. Would have been to have rested Bautista, but it was good that he retired three in a row with two or.

so much to unpack in that picture.
LET'S FUCKING GOOO
That was incredible
Wooooo! Nice work Mountain!
And Tampa Loses!!!
Though at what cost....
Insane game. I love our guys!
Apologize to the big fella doubters
I love how Adley is so invested in his pitchers
yeah, we needed Felix to get right. he was pretty shaky last 2 weeks or so, but he was sharp.
Quality quality quality fucking save. Get Voth off the fucking team.
MOUNT BAUTISTA LIVES FOREVER
Nice win. Very entertaining game. Think my hope is getting off the charts for this year.
Same - still early in the year but this team looks pretty legit. They get Means back and sign an ace and it seems like the sky will be the limit.
Heyyyy that's the way
FELIX DOUBTERS IN SHAMBLES
Disagree. Felix doubters are no question relieved to see this.
[удалено]
LOL !!! He was *bad* the whole game, but *what a joke* his 9th was.
and EXHALE...!
Ced deserves a pie tonight.
FUCK YEAH FELIX
The fuck you looking at Joe?
Bird bath is blessed.
Oh yeah he's back baby!
Three. Straight. Strikeouts!
[удалено]
Bird bath is in sec 86.
Beautiful outing, Felix
Now that's a Mountain performance. 3K's to shut them down, needed a save like that big
Good Mountain
#AND EXHALE !!!!!!! *That was a much better Bautista than we've seen in awhile*
The ump can finally take a shit
That was 2022 Felix.
what a fucking night
Best Bautista looked all season hands down.. I wonder if Cano situatuon lit a fire under his ass
#MOUNTAIN TIME!!!
# FUCK YES BAUTISTA IS BACK.
#HAHAHAHAHAHAH IT WAS THE *GOOD* BAUTISTA
That’s my mountain!
that's how you save a mother fucking ballgame
DISGUSTING PITCHING FELIX
HE'S BACK BOIS
#THAT’S THE MOUNTAIN I KNOW
BATH IN THE GLORY OF VICTORY!!!
Felix!
These aren’t even high pitches, the strike zone box on the screen is just incorrect
Why is the strike zone a square starting at his belt
“Castro just got his feelings hurt.” 😂
This ump is god awful, I would be pissed if I was a Pirates fan
This batter is about to die by splitter rn lmao
I’m all for fairness and these need to good calls or the win is soured
Although it's a shame he couldn't get a rest, this feels like a good confidence boosting inning for Felix
Felix is disgusting right now
Felix: I'm not about to let a young pup take my job.
This ump think the zone is a pentagon
yeah the ump scorecard is going to have lots of red ink
Ump wants to go home
This ump has dinner plans at the Inner Harbor tonight.
This ump wants to go home lol
Thanks, Ump.
This ump is... yikes, man. I'll take it, but *yikes*.
This ump is gifting us right now. Knock on wood...
The box is so fucked up, so low.
This ump wants to go home 😬
God this ump is atrocious. Sorry Pirates bros, he's really screwed you this inning
Umps have sucked tonight
ONE MORE LFGGG
Ump is working with a mobius strip shaped strike zone.
Beat catcher in the league masterclass
LOLOL !!!! This ump, .... smh
That's the way Felix...more strikes please
This is the Mountain we all know and love. Big zone helps though.
Felix comin’ in HOT!
This ump blows
It's never good when the announcers say the umps name multiple times in a game
I’m still so salty we had to resort to using Felix again tonight lmao Voth is on my butt-clenched -when-watching list. Not great, Bob.
Is Félix back???
DAMN FELIX
# LFG ONE MORE OUT
Theres an 80 splitter.
Two down…
HES BACK END IT
ump has a cute date after the game
~~This version of Bautista is not instilling confidence as much as the old one did :/~~ ~~Come on, big man. Let's go.~~ ~~Edit: hit enter without thinking after looking away, he then K'd two.

The mountain towers over all imitators
Ump scorecard tomorrow will just say "Chaos. Utter chaos."
so excited to see tomorrow's ump scorecard lmao
The Splitter is back?
That would be most helpful😃
What is the shape of this ump's zone? Wrong answers only.
trapezoid, like Brian Matusz
Perfectly square
I know Voth was bad, but he had about 2 mins to warm up. Hyde should have just brought in Fliex regardless
Shouldn't his straight fastball be higher than 98?
Seems like he varies between 97 and 101
This ump is so bad lol
This ump is terrible but at least he's starting to benefit us for a change.
Stupid zone tonight
There's a scorecard call.
My god that pitch was in his armpit
smh, this ump ... wow
Wow, this ump... I'll take it though lol
Now DP ball and another series opener win .. Cmon Felix
Keep the strikes comming Felix....you got this!
Sucks Voth did not have a good night after looking better lately. Wish we didn’t have to bring Felix in. :/
Yep. Had a damn good opportunity to keep Baker's pitch count low AND have Felix tomorrow. Bullpen would have been stacked. Now, not as pretty.
Absolutely, seriously sucks it played out that way. Glad we got the W but man why’s it always gotta be a train wreck? I worry for our bullpen long term.
SHOULDA PITCHED CANO BRO. YOU GOTTA WANT IT. BAKER. BAUTISTA. CANO. IT'S THAT EASY. To think, I thought life couldn't get worse than 2022's "GUNNAR WHEN?" Yet here we are.
Lmaooooo. EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT. Our 2023 “GUNNAR WHEN” along with the BP is now “COWSER WHEN”. Yeah so they can bring Cowser up and they can flame him as soon as he doesn’t look like prime Bonds up here, like what’s happening with Gunnar. Also see: Stowers. Lol
Yea, I’m rooting for Voth but very bad timing.
DFA him and Coloumbe now! DFA all the bullpen except cano and Bautista!!!! No but srs that was unfortunate tonight :(
Hold the FA for Baker but apply the D to be safe.
Lmaooooooo, we will wait til he gives up an XBH
One down…
Sit down Joe.
LFG two more outs.
Come onnmnm
Yeah so Voth is not a closer….
There we go king Felix!
What happened with the scoreboard?
I want a double play here.
Bautista's splitter is barely functional at the moment.
its been that way for some time. hopefully he can sort it out.
Sure would like a DP about now.
Scared to throw his splitter down with the runner on third
Should ignore the runner on 3B.
Exactly... Neither runner matters. Focus on the batters and finish it.
Listened to the Mullins cycle on the radio heading to work!!!! I was shouting again like a maniac. Love my Ced
[удалено]
Good times man…
Buckle up. Things were looking good like 10mins ago. Let’s hope Felix has his command tonight.
Clenching all things clenchable...
We had a day off, close this shit out with your beat.
Should have put felix in at the start
Felix pls….
This is a situation that calls for Cano
Please let's see the good Felix in full control here.
Yankees beat the Rays let’s get closer to first!
Felix. Show us.
How does Chris Holt not visit there? Is that a rule thing? Voth has one more batter settle him down, right?
Pls Bautista
Voth has allowed two earned runs in his last 11 innings. It happens.
I have faith. Felix will get it done.
After what Bradish and Mullins (and Coulombe and Baker, for that matter) did, if they manage to blow this game ....
Why including Coloumbe in there? Lol
And Austin Voth wanted to be a starter this year…sheeeesh.
Figures. Our offense woke up so the pitching peaced out.
We are a balanced team
This shit is fucking frustrating
Well that’s about as bad as you could have written it
Get Voth the hell out of here already
Voth is the best acquisition ever made
Hyde has made some decisions that are head scratchers today. Voth, historic guy from the rotation/ long man, likely a guy who needs his warmup, rushed in. Pinch hitting McCann and then putting Vavra in right field instead of just batting McKenna, who would provide better defense and has hit better than McCann lately..
Vavra drew the walk though so that kind of worked out.
This was not ideal
Bautista PLEASE FINISH IT
Can we get one fucking game.
Why. Why. Why can’t we just blow someone out for a change where my heart doesn’t have to be tested
Are we allergic to healthy leads?
#WHY CAN'T IT EVER BE EASY
That was a thoroughly horrible pitching performance.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Felix Bautista replaces Austin Voth.
Bout time. Yikes
GET VOTH OFF THIS FUCKING TEAM.
Why did we pull Baker?
Tried to get too fucking cute throwing voth in there
Bruh Voth threw fucking 15 balls and 3 strikes, 2 of which were hit
Atrocious.
He's bad. Send him down to get his shot worked out. He clearly doesn't have it this year.
Send Voth in a rocket ship to the sun
Or on a bus to Norfolk
Dude why…. Why can’t we ever have a relaxing finish to a game
Bautista comin in for the save?
To create more chaos first
It literally can never be easy
Please please please be ON tonight Felix...you CAN do this
Managers get way too cute. Put your best relievers in and try to win
Yeah I’m honestly fucking sick of it. The game isn’t over til it’s fucking over.
Jesus fuck please don’t blow this guys
