How does Yuli not get to play on his own bobblehead day?

many years ago, i went to a dodgers game on manny ramirez bobblehead day, and manny had been dinged up - finger injury or something, for several games, so he didn't play.

the dodgers were tied 2-2 in the 6th and the bases were loaded, and they brought manny in to pinch-hit.  and he hit a grand slam.  and i've never heard a stadium explode any louder.

moral of the story - yuli will probably hit a pinch-hit grand slam tonight, because history doesn't lie.

 

edit to fix score and include video, surprisingly easy to find.

Awesome video... but I think you've definitely heard a stadium explode louder.

usc game?  too many usc fans.

definitely been at some loud dome/mmp games with the roof and shit is loud.  g7 of alcs was pretty loud. jj watt pick-6 vs bengals was pretty fucking loud. 

but a grand slam was loud all at once, not like the end of a game.  i wasn't at the bregman hit game but i'm sure that was louder.

let's call it the loudest open air explosion at a regular season baseball game that i've been to.

[UTPhil2006 3807]

Oh you were saying in person.  In person for me definitely had to be ALCS game 7.  holy hell.

You could always count on Dusty Baker to DESTROY his own pitching staff!

[tx 3 putt 76988]

kemp is heating up 

[WBT 20587]

[henrygandorf 29191]

[tx 3 putt 76988]

[Scraps 13561]

Missed the no hitter game but saw a triple play! Shit yeah!



Fuck

[tx 3 putt 76988]

i want to punch someone or something 

[Lat22 4015]

At least it wasn’t another double play?

[UTHornFan014 710]

I can't even be mad about that. He hit it hard and they had him shifted perfectly

[tx 3 putt 76988]

Because that's where Jake was about to hit it?

[perfectchaos007 6671]

Damn. We don't hit to many HR's there, but the white sox have hit one there each of the last 2 games

[WBT 20587]

 

The ball was 97 mph off the bat

[Guadaloopy 10973]

Good grief that was a shot off of Cole.

[WBT 20587]

I spent last night in the arms of a girl from Louisiana!!

[tx 3 putt 76988]

18 straight games with a hr 

[Guest]

[tx 3 putt 76988]

uncle mike, best FA signing of 2019 

[WBT 20587]

[runthebone 7995]

that's damn good hitting 

[WBT 20587]

Wow, nice send by windmill.  Good throw would have had him.

[tx 3 putt 76988]

that was a horrible throw 

[runthebone 7995]

OK, I am glad he scored but mostly was hoping he wouldn't get hurt.

[tx 3 putt 76988]

matrix move to avoid the tag 

[WBT 20587]

Look at Great White keep the rally going.  78 mph exit velocity.  He seems to be good at those...like the old man in softball who can bloop it over the shortstop and in front of the left fielder every time.

Great White !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he probably show scraps in his tyler white jersey, fired him up 

[Scraps 13561]

Just told my buddy who is going to NYC with me to see Stros/Yanks if White hit a homer there we were both wearing his jersey to a game there.

Just saved myself $40 from a fake ass chinese jersey website

damn, hell of a DP !!!!!!!!!!

[henrygandorf 29191]

jake with a great play and tyler white gets injured?

talk about stars aligning.

[Guadaloopy 10973]

Jake!  He’s such an overlooked talent in the OF by media outside of Houston.  Any top 10 OF list without him on it is invalid.  

[mycox 582]

I was more impressed by White's 6 inch vertical
