London 2009: Nationals Game Videos

written by Commissioner Gallaway

Featured Game Video:

Double Elimination Tournament Round 2: Nationals at Phillies (22-23)
The Nationals and the Phillies ended the 2007 London tournament heading to extra innings tied as a never ending wall of rain moved in across the corn fields. The tournament was stopped, the game never resolved, the chapter never concluded. That year, the Nationals were a six seed and the Phillies were an eleven seed. This time is was the Nationals who were an eleven seed, and the Phillies were a nine. Due to bracket mis-seeding, they met in the second round on a short field with strong wind blowing out. The slugfest ended after four and a half, the Nationals falling by one to head to the losers' bracket. 0-1-1.

London 2009: Senators Game Videos

written by Commissioner Gallaway

Featured Game Video:

Pool Play Game 1: Senators at Red Wings (32-3)
The Senators first game is a big win for them. We wired the ump, and starting at about 21 minutes, his running commentary is spectacular. Well worth waiting for. Even if the game is a tad lopsided.

A sample of what you'll hear:

These guys don't have a clue. (Referring to the Red Wings failing to convert an out.)
Oh, right in the nuts. (Referring to the Red Wings pitcher getting drilled with a line drive, in the nuts.)
That balls got a nasty curve on it. (Referring to Jake Tomko's pitching.)
That was a pretty good hook right there, that thing was clear over that field. (Referring to a Jim Shannon home run.)
They don't even have a clue. (Referring to the Red Wings giving up 20 runs after two innings.)
I don't think we have a clue here on this field. (Referring to ????)
Are you fucking kidding me? I'd bring my 5 year old out here and he'd catch that. Or he better. (Referring to the Red Wings dropping a fly ball.)
Oh are you shitting me? Amazing. (Referring to the Red Wings dropping a fly ball.)
See ya. (Referring to a Jim Shannon home run.)
He'll fucking miss it. Are you kidding me? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! They can't catch a pop fly. I'd be embarrassed. (Referring to the Red Wings dropping a fly ball.)
Are you kidding me? (Referring to the Red Wings dropping a fly ball.)
Oh yeah, this is it. After they bat it's over. 27 to 2 or some shit, I mean it's sick. (When asked if there was a mercy rule.)
These guys can't catch a pop fly. I'd be embarrased. I would. I'd bring my 6 year old out here he'd be better than that kid. (Just off the cuff.)
Yeah, just let it go, who cares. (Referring to the Red Wings not making an effort on a ball.)
Tweedledee and Tweedledumb. Ugly. (Unclear.)
Are you shitting me? (Referring to the Red Wings shortstop bobbling a ball.)
35-2. (Announcing the score. The actual score at the time was 32-2.)

VIDEO CLASSICS: London

written by Commissioner Gallaway

With the London Tournament coming up in less than a month, we wanted to post some previously unseen footage from the 2007 and 2008 tournaments.

Some of them are complete, unedited games, and some have been edited down to the final pitch of each at-bat.

VIDEO CLASSICS: Summer 2008 Postseason

written by Commissioner Gallaway

With no new wiffleball this weekend, and a long three day break for the Labor Day holiday, we didn’t want you to have nothing to watch. We dug up the Summer 2008 Postseason videos from the archive and posted them for the first time for your viewing pleasure.

Summer 2008 Postseason Videos

World Series: Catalista Revolucion defeats Scared Hitless (2 Games)
Western DCS: Catalista Revolucion defeats Clubber Lang (2 Games)
Eastern DCS: Scared Hitless defeats Canvassers (2 Games)

You’ll probably notice the videos aren’t as widescreen as we use now and the sound quality isn’t as good. Back in the old days, we used cameras that recorded on mini-DVD’s…and only recorded for 30/45/60 minutes. Somehow the settings were for 45 mins, so a couple of these games are also cut off. Absent are the fancy blue-tooth mics we now use to capture the sound of the ball whiffing by, or the umpires commentary.

There wasn’t anything terribly exciting about the Summer 2008 Postseason. But, if you want some kind of highlights:

First Night Game in League History (Eastern DCS Game #2: Scared Hitless at Canvassers)
First World Series that didn’t feature the Canvassers
Brett Beyerlin being an idiot (All Catalista Games)
