why do baseball players always shout "Let's Go!" whenever something good happens? Is there no other way to express celebration?

Jeff Sullivan

6:06

There are like four different exhortations in the entire English language

6:07

Let's go! You got this! C'mon man! Let's do this!

Mike

This chat is under siege from Effectively Wild. the 10 batter theory is clearly wrong.

Jeff Sullivan

6:07

I am in control of this chat and this will proceed no further

My favorite innings are when a team bats around and the same player makes an out twice.

Jeff Sullivan

6:07

anti-Tatis

Chuckb

6:08

Goal here should be 3 outs from Gio & then go to Schererville, right?

Jeff Sullivan

6:08

Might, again, want a bridge for an inning just because the pitcher spot might bat in the next frame

6:09

Not a great dive by Taylor on that sinking liner but good backup from Werth

Sadman

6:09

I once involuntarily exclaimed "Congratulations!" when a batter hit a go-ahead double. Why can't this catch on? It kind of makes me sad...

6:10

How many times has a player pulled a Tatis?

Jeff Sullivan

6:10

What a weird punchout call on Rizzo

Definitely a ball and an unusually generous strike for an 0-and-2 count

Bernard

6:10

What do you expect out of Scherzer today?

Jeff Sullivan

6:10

Good pitching

Paco Picopiedra

6:11

Most dispirited strike three punch out call ever

Matt

6:11

Do you see the Cubs yanking Heyward next time up since they need offense?

Jeff Sullivan

6:11

Not if a righty's pitching

Luber

6:11

your playoff k zone piece has been great for these past couple nights

Jeff Sullivan

6:11

I'm amazing!

hscer

6:12

and the strictest definition of a Tatis--the one that includes facing the same pitcher--is extremely likely to never happen again

Hunky Dory

6:12

Tatis? Too young...

Jeff Sullivan

6:12

Two grand slams in the same inning

6:13

There's a little balance -- Contreras walks on a possible strike

Gio's leash ought to be tightening

David

6:13

bullpen time?????

Jeff Sullivan

6:13

Someone at least needs to be getting warm

hscer

6:14

late hitter timeouts are the worst

Sadman

6:15

time called right when he started his motion. That's kind of rude.

John Autin

6:15

They are ump timeouts.

Jeff Sullivan

6:16

Aaaaaaaaaaand we're loaded. With Heyward on deck!

nats fan with PTSD

6:16

getting out to an early lead in game 5 and then having gio gonzalez throw it away reminds me of 2012

John Autin

6:16

Gio gotta go.

libre

6:17

Do you believe in Scott Boras' pitch for Wieters -- something along the lines of "can't win in the postseason without a veteran catcher?"

Jeff Sullivan

6:17

The Royals won with Salvador Perez

Out, run, 4-2 Nats. Look at this -- second and third for Heyward, with two outs

6:18

Also, re: above, the Giants won with Buster Posey
