Kyle Farmer goes deep to make it 11-1, a fan is heard yelling "Oh my god" off the bat.

My favorite part was how Chip and Jeff kept talking about how good a job he did while turning a 6 run game into an 11 run game.

That's the sound of a man who only has the open bar behind the $350 diamond club seats to look forward to.

Seagull died of natural causes near the mound so he took it in his hands and launched it straight into the sky where it landed in bird heaven

98.7 EV, 45 degree LA, 0.030 xBA. Perfection.

The broadcast said 385 feet but that thing looks like it landed just a few feet beyond the fence, which is evidently 335 ft at the corner.

Literally no delay at all either. He knew it off the bat.

Now, before people get upset for him saying the Lord's name in vain, he was actually saying "Oh my, Grodd!" in an effort to warn people.
If you aren't familiar, Grodd is a gorilla with psychic powers. He typically messes with guys like The Flash, but he often spends his summers following around the Reds. We aren't sure why, but it is likely because The Flash is also red. Two teams with red colors are going to be way too tempting for him.
Anyway, one of the side effects of the mind control from Grodd is cranial scarring, which explains the appearances of several of the Reds mascots who are frequent targets of Grodd's schemes. As a note, this is different than the issues faced by Mr. Met. Those are congenital defects caused by inbreeding.
Hopefully the media gets this story right and doesn't spread misinformation.

On one hand, I'm glad we have another UGA alum to pick up the slack after Jared Walsh's injury. On the other hand, I'm sure if we put Joc on the mound he gives up less runs than Tomlin.

I believe Farmer is a local kid and a lot of friends and family were in attendance last night.
