Let's be completely honest, if that was a Judge dong, you'd be doing the same thing.

san fran's waters aren't crazy clean or anything but you won't die or get a skin infection probably. its not like the east river or something. not a bad dive either considering he probably had more than a few in him.

Oh I would 100% be in the Harlem River if I had to, I was just wondering how many skin conditions that dude just came down with.

It's like the umpire is telling the catcher to stop messing around while simultaneously casting a spell to banish Javy.

The catcher roll reminds me of that "cop breaking up the pool party and doing a barrel roll" thing from a couple years ago for some reason. Also, Javy is so much of a wizard I could totally imagine him pulling off a reverse slide IRL. :allears:

One detail (in the original GIF) I just noticed is the score ticking up in real time as soon as he crosses the plate. :shobon: I mean there's often a delay to them updating the details on the on-screen graphics, sometimes they screw up the balls/strike and/or the occupied bases, and I'd especially expect them to hold off on updating the score if a challenge seemed likely, but in this case the WGN guys were just like, "nope, game over, Cubs win!" :woop:

The score tick was delayed. That's Zobrist's run being counted when Javy hits the plate. 5-5 typically isn't a final score.

I know, I was watching, I just didn't think too deeply about it when I posted. So yeah, there WAS a delay like I mentioned, except it wasn't Javy's run BUT the timing was perfect for animated GIF purposes.

e: I believe this is a 6-5-2-5(E5)-6-3-2 putout with one unearned run scoring. I wanted the pitcher to get the end of his glove on it to add another number but I don't think he did.

Is there an alternate angle of this? Looks like he tags his back leg, so his first leg would be on the plate by then.

Edit: Found it. Still not convinced.
