GIF: Yusmeiro Petit Applauds Yusmeiro Petit’s Performance
September 14, 2014
San Francisco right-hander Yusmeiro Petit has been fantastic against the Los Angeles Nationals this afternoon, having recorded an 8:0 strikeout-to-walk ratio and single-game 1.17 xFIP through five innings (box). Nor is anyone more impressed by Petit’s performance thus far than San Francisco right-hander Yusmeiro Petit, seen here enthusiastically applauding Yusmeiro Petit after the latter’s most recent strikeout.
Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
Those pesky Los Angeles Nationals.
I do not think Carson (Fuck That Guy) made a typo. I think he was referring to the Los Angeles Nationals (Dodgers) as opposed to the Los Angeles Americans (Angels).
I dunno- that’s the kind of mistake someone who knows nothing about baseball would make- ie. not knowing the names of the teams. Going by the quality of his writing on Fangraphs, I think this would apply to Carson.
Except the Dodgers are the only baseball team in Los Angeles, and only major league team in LA county.
It’s all about that urban agglomeration, baby.
Yes, because that is so much clearer than calling them the Los Angeles Dodgers.
