That was a rocket. Playing H-O-R-S-E with Judge.

[u/IrrationalYankeesFan → u/twistedlogicx]

He came back from heaven just for that moonshot.

[u/MightyCaseyStruckOut → u/twistedlogicx]

Is the streamable headline yours?

Eloy Jimenez corns the Yankees

Lol

[u/person7849]

This game might as well be a wild card game lol

[u/handlit33 → u/person7849]

Great atmosphere.

[u/Next_Gen_Nyquil_ → u/handlit33]

Ice in the veins

[u/TheDangiestSlad → u/handlit33]

SHEEEEEEEEEEEESH

[u/MightyCaseyStruckOut → u/handlit33]

INJECT THIS SHIT INTO MY VEINS

[u/crassreductionist → u/handlit33]

I’ve in me fuckin veins bruv

[u/meahoymemoyay → u/person7849]

It would be awesome to host the wild card games at the field of dreams from now on

[u/person7849 → u/meahoymemoyay]

Let’s make a petition to start having Wild Card games at the Field of Dreams field

[u/sokonek04 → u/person7849]

The issue is the corn will be dead in October, so instead of the nice cool green corn it will be brown and shitty.

[u/raikou1988 → u/sokonek04]

Modern problems require modern solutions

[u/RegularEality → u/person7849]

How about a field with more real history than being the set of a fictional movie from 30+ years ago?

[u/trumpet575 → u/RegularEality]

Rookie of the Year came out only 28 years ago so Wrigley is out

[u/RamblingRanter → u/trumpet575]

I don’t this we’ll have to worry about Wrigley hosting the wildcard, or any playoff games, anytime soon

[u/RegularEality → u/RamblingRanter]

This is correct.

[u/Yankeeknickfan → u/meahoymemoyay]

I disagree. The home crowd makes the playoffs

[u/NerevarineTribunal → u/Yankeeknickfan]

In 15 years people will be saying corn crowd makes the playoffs. Get on the train or get run over old man

[u/yianni1229 → u/person7849]

Heaney starting a wild card game would make me cry lol

[u/LBramit13]

Of course the deceased player comes back to hit a homer on this field

[u/WizTheNose → u/LBramit13]

sending a souvenir to his homies upstairs

[u/sporkemon]

big fan of all these corn homers🌽

[u/its_still_good → u/sporkemon]

I love how the ball just disappears.

[u/HumanzeesAreReal → u/[deleted]]

It’s almost 80 degrees with over 80 percent humidity. This is primo Midwestern home run hitting weather, they don’t need to juice the balls.

[u/TheDangiestSlad → u/[deleted]]

to be fair, they didn't really do anything extra to the ball in London iirc (it was already juiced)

there was something with the mound that was fucking with the pitchers or something that series

[u/DalekEvan]

Well, Eloy is used to playing in heaven.

[u/godly_mercs]

HI MOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM

[u/idocrunches]

Pitch was above his head lol

[u/king_zacarias → u/idocrunches]

It’s so effortless for him

He can hit pitchers’ pitches out of the park, he’s that strong

[u/yoursweetlord70 → u/idocrunches]

Eloy is a very strong boi who loves his mom

[u/CydoniaKnight]

Man, I love Heaney but I'm still surprised we got a few lottery tickets for him.

[u/Constant_Gardner11 → u/CydoniaKnight]

Yankees gonna hang a Statcast Top Percentile banner right next to their Under the Luxury Tax Threshold banner.

[u/classically_cool → u/Constant_Gardner11]

That's nothing compared to our "Best record in the first half" banner we're putting up this year.

[u/WurstThrowEver → u/CydoniaKnight]

I’m surprised the Yankees of all teams wanted homer-prone Heaney

[u/jmmjmm2 → u/WurstThrowEver]

Cashman loves giving the analytics guys little projects like Heaney, Chris Carter, Jonathan Davis, etc.

[u/Drgntrnr → u/CydoniaKnight]

You literally got Junk for the guy……

[u/bobichetteismydaddy]

Imagine wanting Andrew Heaney on your team

[u/Blimmmer]

HI MOM

[u/MattO2000]

Eloy came back to life through the corn to hit this home run

[u/DarkLordofBS]

Heaney now rocking a 5.75 ERA for a team in a pennant race. There's not a guy in triple A who can at least give you a 5.00?

Edit: Now 5.85. Garbage

[u/TrendyOstrich → u/DarkLordofBS]

Yea wtf were they thinking trading for him

[u/gottahavemytunes → u/DarkLordofBS]

I always liked him as a dude but he’s been total ass his whole career

[u/magikarp2122 → u/DarkLordofBS]

Your team also traded for Clay Holmes.

[u/DarkLordofBS → u/magikarp2122]

Clay Holmes has been totally fine for us and I can at least see what he brings to the table. Years of control, 97 mph, nasty movement. This guy is a soft tossing rental who has never been good

[u/mgk917]

The sheesh when he’s passing 3rd base lol

[u/king_zacarias]

Watch out Ohtani

He’s coming for that HR title

[u/crassreductionist → u/king_zacarias]

My brother bet me Joc would hit more homers than Eloy this year when Joc was hot during spring training. I’m going to win with Eloy missing 100 games

[u/DonRicardo1958 → u/king_zacarias]

Six home runs in 13 games this year.

[u/EvilShadow80]

The Yankees should add Arrieta for the lethal 1-2 punch

[u/dasoxarechamps2005]

Disgusting act

[u/Zloggt → u/dasoxarechamps2005]

Incredible how he’s hitting it so hard despite tearing a pec just months before!

[u/brandon_the_bald]

This has got to be an annoying place to pitch in

[u/Hochseeflotte]

Cashman is a fucking dumbass. We gave up players for this guy? Happ was better than this

[u/tenacious-g]

ELOY-TE

[u/Lionheart1224 → u/tenacious-g]

I need to speak to someone in the FO that Eloy's Elotes needs to be an actual food stand at the park.

[u/tenacious-g → u/Lionheart1224]

They are! I forget what section exactly, but they’re in the 100 level along the first base line if I recall.

[u/dynastylicious]

The fact that we were able to get anything for a rental of Heaney is crazy

[u/kay_so → u/dynastylicious]

I have no idea what our FO saw in him

[u/dynastylicious → u/kay_so]

I mean I was probably too harsh. If you squint and see the high K-rate and low walk-rate and other peripherals it was worth taking a risk if you don’t give up too much. I honestly thought he’d be a good change of scenery candidate but I didn’t think playing in the AL East was a good match.

[u/Changeurblinkerfluid]

HI MOM!

[u/person7849]

They were just saying he likes to get his arms extended and what do you know he gets anoutside pitch

[u/TheDangiestSlad]

that's another point for the "he's dead the whole time in Field of Dreams" crowd

[u/pzycho]

I was worried that one was going to die on the corning track

[u/AbstractBettaFish → u/pzycho]

You needing worry, Eloy cannot die twice

[u/JRob370]

The announcers antijinxed it

[u/Zloggt]

BE NOT AFRAID

[u/HmathForDayz]

he truly has risen

[u/[deleted]]

I could watch homers into the cornfield every game.

[u/dreadredheadzedsdead]

Tbh the size of the park is irrelevant. Eloy seems to swing with little effort and the ball just jumps out.

[u/RexCeasar]

YEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[u/wehttaM08]

NICE

[u/SHOW_ME_PIZZA]

Sheeeeeesh

[u/chrisumafp]

Coors field

Corns Field

Sounds similar enough

[u/LinkRazr]

Heaney sucks.

[u/Elecrockcity]

I’m so glad Eloy back.

[u/Jbaquero]

Can we leave Heaney in Iowa

[u/LBramit13 → u/Jbaquero]

No take backs

[u/Lionheart1224 → u/Jbaquero]

Plz no

[u/RedSoxFan1997]

The announcer willed that into existence

[u/SHOW_ME_PIZZA]

Did he fucking sheesh?

[u/jmmjmm2]

Heaney will be a nice addition to our AAA team for their playoff push.

[u/Lionheart1224 → u/jmmjmm2]

I see what you did there

[u/TexasHot]

Go sox

[u/collegesucksbooty]

gimmie da juice

[u/replicant1138]

That’s my mom

[u/unitedairlineeeeees]

No one would know anything better about heaven than him.

[u/runningwithquills]

Will MLB send people to look for the balls in the corn fields?

[u/sigma4488]

Good

[u/Chaeferrr]

I’ve been Corned

[u/ColinMichaelRisley]

Still have no idea why we went out and got this bum

[u/Shanknuts]

No matter where the game is being played, we still have someone with the best seats in the house playing with their phone while all the good stuff happens just a few feet away.

[u/SovietDog1342]

Place is a band box

[u/Jking1723]

First Dominican born player to hit a home run in Iowa

[u/GreenFroppy212]

I knew once Joe Buck was talking about how he’s red hot that he was going deep

[u/mpatterson524]

Elote Jimenez

….:/

[u/Twinflame5]

Thanks Cubs!

[u/Quesly]

the memes just write themselves

[u/bepositiveinstead]

If he stays healthy he's got a shot at 500 dongaroos. The absolute power of this monster man.

[u/yoursweetlord70 → u/bepositiveinstead]

I 100% believe he could hit 50 in a year and even maybe make a run at 60 if he can actually play a full season.

Going into tonight, Eloy had hit 50 home runs in 189 career games, or a 43hr/162 pace. He's also only 24 years old, and presumably is still building towards wherever his career will peak.

[u/OddlyWholesomePerson]

People do really come back from the dead on that field

[u/dzimmerman86]

You wanna see the text message my little sister Chaleen sent me last night? Here, here it is: "OMG Kevin Nash Eloy Jimenez WTF thought he was dead LOL"

[u/ello_officer]

Am I the only one annoyed by how unbuttoned his jersey is? lol
