How appropriate that a league where the pitching so very much lagged behind the hitting all season long is decided by the season’s first pitching duel.
That’s baseball
s u z y n
A killer duel where the winner, Sato, pitched the first shutout of the entire season (and I think the first complete game too?!)
Yep, first complete game, first CGSO. In the deciding match of the championship series. Electric
The LA vs San Francisco rivalry lives on.
I remember seeing a clip here where the SF players were chanting “beat LA” during a game they were winning by a lot
Sato was dominant. First complete game pitched and first shoutout.
If you haven’t watched the league it’s hard to express how much of an accomplishment that is for a pitcher. Just the efficiency to make it that long and not getting blown up any inning.
This is a league where scores are double digits more often than not and offenses run the show.
Having game 5 of the championship go 2-0 with a CGSO is crazy.
Leaguewide ERA of almost 8!! Incredible performance. Cool to watch what is essentially 1800s men’s baseball where they’re still figuring stuff out
MY QUEENS HAVE DONE IT
“Alexa, play I Love LA by Randy Newman.”
Alexa, directions to Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library, it’s party time
Sato is insane. 71 pitch CGSHO.
gg Queens, not even mad they won. They have a SQUAD
Straight insanity. It’s a Madux imo. It’s under the 11 pitch per inning average of a standard Madux, so I don’t see why this shouldn’t also be one.
Why call it a Maddux? Why not a Sato?
I like the cut of your jib
Fucking hell yeah! Completely agree and very upset at myself for not considering something like this.
Another LA championship…
Congrats to them
I’ve yet to watch a game, but based solely off the clips posted here this is the first low scoring game I’ve seen. Also, shout out to the LA Queens for ruining baseball in the WPBL
I think the previous lowest scoring game was a 6-1
When will the WPBL institute a salary cap to prevent LA from ruining baseball? Theyre won 100% of championships for Christ sake
History indeed! Congrats ladies
Hell yeah! I’m amazed it was a CGSO that is really insane, Sato was dealing!!
Asking genuinely: why do they only play 7 innings and not a full 9?
Because there isn’t enough women’s baseball talent around yet for teams to be able to carry enough relievers. Roster sizes were only 15 players this season.
Ah, that makes sense. Hope the game grows.
Yeah and for some teams (cough Heights) even going 7 all season was a stretch for their bullpens
Turns out Danae Benites hitting literally everything wasn’t enough, heights pitching was hard to watch this season
As the Toronto Tempo would say: First Never Fades. Also, just learned the Queens manager won a WS with the Braves!
Eric Young aka EY
Well-liked guy who played for a lot of different teams
That’s some 64mph cheese

🤢🤮😷
** slowly backs away **
Wtf?
Aw this is great!!! Really hope to watch this league continue to grow. They’ve got some really great players.
LA is the baseball capital of America.
My absolute favourite thing about watching women’s baseball is seeing the different vibes everyone brings. So much of women’s sports has women dressed like cheerleaders or very feminine, which is fine if that’s their vibe, but I love the short haircuts and masc vibes we get to see here.
You ever met a women’s softball coach? Get ready for one very powerful handshake
I’m a lifelong softball pitcher, I’ve never needed help opening a jar lol
Baseball-obsessed little-girl me, who wore t-shirts and baseball caps every day and played with the boys, would have LOVED this.
It’s been so much fun to watch. The energy is incredible. The vibe of the league is immaculate.
We need this league to succeed.
Does Mark Walter’s sell the LA Queens to pay back his loans /s
This is awesome congrats!
Where is this broadcasted?
Seeing SF lose never gets old
LA vs SF in the finals. Could it have been any more fitting? Congratulations to these ladies on a successful first season!
We’re used to it.
Another win over SF
Dozens of fans celebrate!
I don’t know how you could watch this lol. It’s painful
This league has been fun as fuck to watch.
Gotta start somewhere
So then don’t watch it and fuck off.
I hope you don’t have daughters
Go clean your room before bed. It’s a school night, son.
You have a very low pain threshold.
Downvoted by a bunch of people who couldn’t make it through an inning of this
Ohhh look how edgy this guy is!
