Two 10th inning home runs by Landon Yurgaites in what was possibly the greatest pitching duel in MLW history. Absolutely nuts!

[@DMMoore1313]

Mallards are at a real crossroads here. Feels like if the get they right guy, they're winning a championship with Robles heading things up. If not, they'll be the perennial "almost" team. Rough to watch as a Mallards fan.

Gotta wonder if Tommy will be playing next year or if he will pass the torch. Such a wasted season of Robles’ brilliance.

[@itsnick0381]

I was expecting him to announce a retirement at the end of the game like Schema last year. Hopefully Tom gets another shot next year though.

[@VivanLaMNWA]

Tommy ain’t the problem on the Mallards tbh.

[@rickyhenry4958]

@@VivanLaMNWAwdym? His batting average is .067 or something close to that. Hes definitely the problem

[@itsneight1260]

that's what I was thinking. Was waiting for him to drop the "this is it" during post game... but he will likely do it via the podcast.

[@BlacktopBball]

@@rickyhenry4958 That’s True But Robles is your star, & he isn’t clutch. Bottom of the 9th bases loaded one out Robles has a chance to give himself more run support, and strikes out. Then gets the ball after Jorgensen bails him out and gives up two home runs after 7 unblemished innings. He can’t handle a lead, and he isn’t a player who can lead a team to the World Series. He isn’t near the same category as Knorp, Walgate, & Kracht in terms of guys I’d want in a clutch situation.

[@flashjk22]

What a series. Robles arm must have been hanging. For those saying he should have pitched Game 2, I have to assume he plays in at least one other league and is in his upper 20s. Dude’s arm has a lot of pitches on it. Blade may have pitched Game 2 if he was there, but kudos to Dallas for gutting it out. Was huge for the Eagles to get that lead to not give the Mallards much of any hope.

[@tiptoptoe2968]

2 things: 1. he ended up pitching in game 2. So he was available. 2. If they win game 2, you dont thinks hes pitching game 3? Dallas went back to back. TC3 overthought it. Out managed.

[@kylehassen438]

Robles not starting game 2 is a huge managerial mistake. Unless Robles says he can’t go, he has to be on the mound.

[@jcblou8948]

He must have not been feeling good enough after pitching that many pitches. It was a win or go home game of course he would’ve been in if he was up to it

[@Pro_Pup_]

Yea but like bro threw for probably an hour on the mound and 10 innings

[@ryan1H3Lion]

I agree. It was the difference maker. Dallas Allen coming in and pitching game 2 changed everything for the Eagles.

[@MD-77]

It was the dumbest move. Jordan didnt say anything as you can see as soon as game 1 was over you can see tommy signaling ro the other guy to start

[@joshackley2496]

You can tell he was starting to get a little Wild. And Dallas was that way as well toward the end of the first game. I think they were thinking that if they could scrape together a win they would be in great shape in Game 3. They did get to Dallas a bit but not enough timely hits and too many walks. Feels bad for these guys, I got to wonder if there's going to be major changes

[@UnkleRonnie]

First game was quite possibly the greatest duel in MLB history. Definitely should’ve pitched Robles in the second game being down one game. The Eagles are just incredible this season.

[@SheaClanton8]

23:15 the script for first game was written perfectly

[@CaprisunVR-.]

The fact that the mallards didn’t change the pitcher in game 2 when he walked 3 batters in a row just annoys me so much

[@BlacktopBball]

Hard to believe that TC3 wouldn’t have gone over that situation with the team before making a decision. That had to be in the discussion pregame that if Kolm struggles you let him battle through until you need to make a switch. Kolm has been a solid #2 throughout the season, and I’m sure that Jordan was totally on board with letting Kolm have the ball game 2 despite the game 1 loss.

[@themusic6808]

I think Tommy was feeling the guilt of not starting Robles in game 2 lol Regardless of whether or not his arm was tired it was down to life or death for them. Dude looked and sounded totally defeated in that post game interview.

[@mattlook1573]

How do you not pitch Robles game 2???

[@nickhalfmann8397]

His arm had to have been sore, that’s the only thing I can think of.

[@joesides614]

It definitely had to be, but still, it’s the playoffs. Either way, he pitched a gem!

[@jshaf3064]

The play the last few years has been pitch your 2 arm game 2 and if you can fight your way into game three you have a fresh ace ready to go. Was actually suprised to see Dallas go game 2 bc the Eagles are the ones that made pitching your 2 arm popular

[@Quaggz]

Once game 1 got to the 8th inning I realized the Eagles had a better chance to win the series. No way someone who throws like Robles can go another 2 games after that. You can see Kolm's confusion after the game and I knew exactly what was happening.

[@danhamilton9225]

Still valid. Tommy keeps him in there for his defensive prowess but at what cost? A series loss apparently.

[@jphjphjph]

He needs to stop crouching as soon as the pitcher releases. His swing is so janky

[@FilmColossus]

@@jphjphjph Dan was doing the same thing the previous years, would crouch then stand up and change his eye level before every swing. This year, he stayed low and suddenly became the best hitter in the league. Maybe J will make a similar adjustment?

[@jphjphjph]

@@FilmColossus Dan does the opposite tho. Low during the wind up and stands up during the pitch. Jorgensen stands and then shrinks down during the pitch. Looks like a knee jerk reaction and it doesn’t work

[@sethsanderson9699]

I love Jorgy but holy cow bro swings at the WORST pitches! Like it’s 3/4 ft outside the zone and he’s swinging with one hand because it’s so far outside… like dude could’ve had 8 walks this series alone if he didn’t flail at everything

[@100briancooper]

After watching MLW for all of these years, sadly I think that Tommy’s career is coming to an end. He’s struggling so bad that it’s sad to watch at this point. Once again Robles was left all by himself trying to revive the team to no avail.

This game 1 was a classic and up there with the Diamondbacks game 5 win in the 2021 World Series.

[@stillrunning31]

3 Things the Mallards must do to contend next year: 1. Tom steps down an lets Robles manage. Not that Tommy can't play anymore, but he's being pulled in too many different directions, and clearly it has affected him mentally. 2. Solidify who is the #2 arm. Is it Kolm, Jorgy, or someone else? 3. Use the pick on a pure hitter with OBP skills. Someone has to set the table for Robles.

If not we need to make a big trade for a bat to at least bring in some runs in or runs on at least. A new Noah dabreko with his clutchness.I know he can’t be replaced but someone with a similar play style. I hate seeing them lose when I know they can be so much more.

[@marceloverlorx8232]

Ok man i hate to bring this up but I've been watching the league since 2020, this league rigged a draft trade against the mallards to save a sinking magic franchise and WE have to pay for it. Zero offense all year, you know what would have helped? Offense. One from a certain magic first overall pick who was a no doubt franchise star. There is no way any owner makes the trade we did that day and Robles is forced to pay for it.

[@beanie3427]

Man as a Mallards fan this was a really disappointing season, but it was great seeing Robles continue to play fantastic and Kolm also hit well when he played. The other guys had flashes, and obviously have the pedigree to be great. I really hope Jorgenson and Tommy can lock in next year and put up the numbers they did in 2023, especially Tommy with walking more and both with the home runs. Tommy had 16 BBs in 64 PAs in '23, and this year that dropped to 6 in 41 PAs going into today. Last year they both combined for 11 homers, this year only 3. I also think the Mallards need to find a better #2 pitcher behind Robles. But still, on paper I think they have a chance of being the best in the league when they are playing well.
