Thank you MLB for bringing baseball back to London again. Yesterday was my first ever live baseball game and it was everything I hoped for and more. Thank you to the awesome baseball community and to the Cubs and the Cards for embracing this event so openly. Much love to both franchises and here's to baseball coming back to London next year. An incredible experience ❤
Trey Mancini is brutal at first base. He has hands of stone. His error cost the Cubs the game. Also, on Swanson's throwing error in the first it should have been an error on Mancini. He dropped the throw even though it was low. I saw Mancini apologize to Swanson for not making the play when they came off the field. I wonder if the Yankees would take Mancini and no-hit Seiya Suzuki in exchange to get Anthony Rizzo back?
I’ve just got home after a wonderful, (yet VERY expensive) weekend. Thank you to the Cardinals and Cubs for coming over and playing these games for us. Glad the Red Birds got something out of the weekend after the spanking they got on Saturday evening. My feedback for MLB though is that if the purpose of the London Series is to spread the word of Baseball internationally, then you need to entice people to the ball park with lower prices. £7.20 for a pint of beer is insane, £11.50 for a Hot Dog is even worse. High prices will only stop new people from coming and could drive the established fans away. I used to think that MLB stood for ‘Major League Baseball’ after this weekend, it now means ‘Most Likely Bankrupt’. 😂😂
We’ve been dealing with these prices for years. Love the game but these executives need to understand that tickets are meant to make the money, not food and beer.
What percentage of the fans were actually British and what percentage were either expatriate Americans or Cubs and Cardinals fans that travelled to London for the game?
I find that view at 3:16 is interesting because of that “arch” in the background (it’s actually the ArcelorMittal Orbit). It makes this look a little more like a Cardinals home game because it looks like the St. Louis Arch that you can see by Busch Stadium.
Heyyyyyyyy! Was great to see MLB back again this year. Missed it last year ☹ but made sure I got tickets as soon as they came out 😁 At the level which most of us in the UK see MLB, no game is a bad game. We are still watching blummin good baseball which is at the high level, and it's here in the UK. 😎 I completely understand the comments from passionate fans with responses to elements of the game play, that's expected and the same in any sport. I was supporting the Cardinals…why? Well, I was deep into it back in the late 90s (when we had coverage on channel 5 until they pulled it (poo heads!💔)) and witnessed the Great Home Run Chase of 98 and was well pleased to see they were coming over. With limited coverage we got a good mix of teams and games to watch and across all teams, there were players who just stood out. I travelled down (with a friend) and watch the Saturday game and yeh….spanked!...like ouch! However, it was great to hear they won Sunday. But you know what! It was great to see and speak to so many Americans who were there Saturday. As a Roller Skater (Quad) I frequently travel to skate around London so decided to skate 9 miles to the game. I stood out a little because I was wearing my MacDonald tartan Kilt and carrying my Roller skates. To my surprise this started many conversations (and lots of photos!). Everyone I spoke to (Cardinal and Cubs fans) were just fantastic! and if any of the ones I had photos taken with or had a good ole chinwag with see this message…thank you! You all made the day even better. Great bunch of people great bunch of supporters. 👏 So, now my plan (which has been on my bucket list for a while) is to travel across the pond to Busch Stadium, catch a few games and explore the city ( on skates obviously) Cheers everyone… IG @just_skate_uk)
Ahhhh it's meeeee 0:12 I can't believe I was able to see the cards twice at home. I've gotta take the gf to busch at some point soon. Had so much fun, go redbirds!
Suzuki ⚔️ Nootbaar, the 2nd day of the Samurai Matchup in London! Suzuki was hitless today, while Nutobar had 1 hit and 1 RBI. It was the opposite of yesterday, with the Cardinals winning and splitting the London series.🇬🇧 Baseball has not taken root in this area, but we were happy to see them enjoy the game.👏👏👏
Well done to both Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals for this London series. :) Next year, hopefully the two NL West rivals San Francisco Giants and LA Dodgers will play in the London series!
Once again the pitching got us in a hole at 4-0 in the 1st inning but thankfully our hitting was up to the test, but we still need pitching desperately.
What a great comeback for the Cardinals! Even down 4-0 in the 1st, they never backed down! Good job by the Bullpen to halt the Chicago offense to 4 for most of the game. Great at bats today by the Cardinals to rally past and split the series! Let's go, Redbirds!
I came to know Micheal Kay through his talk show with Peter and Don..but today he impressed me with his ay by play...he is one of the best...but as a Giants fan it's hard to beat Kruk and Kuip.. Dave Fleming and Jon Miller
Live in the uk managed to do both games what a experience and yes I’m a cubs fan great Saturday mistakes cost us yesterday still hopefully back to winning ways tomorow
Watched some live baseball here in uk for the 1st time. Usually enjoy a few highlights here and there. Have to say I’m not a fan of the pitch clock. I imagine it was introduced because certain players took liberties with time but for me it made things just a little hurried and distracted my attention from the game. What do you purists think?
Not really a purist as I love the pitch clock but it could be slightly tweaked. The biggest thing is the pitcher only gets 1 timeout per batter. I’ve seen that pitchers are asking for at least 2 to be able to catch their breath more
Pitch clock is better for the viewer at home watching the telecast but worse for the stadium-goers. It limits the ambience and constricts the overall relaxing nature of the old-style game
@@blondeeagles very much similar to my thoughts. It seems robotic with the clock urging action. I enjoy sumo too and a large part of my enjoyment is the battle of wits prior to the actual bout. I feel historically that pitchers and batters would engage in something similar prior to the pitch, and that I would enjoy that more.
What a load of rubbish. How can it be sloppy considering you get similar scores in the us & after being 4-0 down to win 7-5 it was 100% really good game probably not happy because it wasn't In the back home in the states
It may well have been sloppy, but I wasn't knowledgeable enough to spot it. Had a few beers, sat out in the sun and shouted opinions like I knew what I was talking about. A good day.
Most of the people in the stadium are probably Americans. I love baseball, as I'm half American. Brits just don't get it. It wasn't even advertised here in the UK, nothing on the news or internet, otherwise I would have gone to the game
It was live on BBC. In the first game, Ashes cricketers threw the first pitch. I am a Brit and was at the game. The crowd was 55000 strong. I am sure there were a few Brits in the crowd 😂
he knew the ball went far away from him. someone is supposed to be backing up the throw. his best move was to trick the runner. my worry is (why did he not catch the ball. )yes its a terrible throw but the priority should be the ball.
So upset that the Cubs didn't sweep the Cardinals today!! That first game was so much better than today's. At least we only lost by 2 runs. Not like the Cardinals who lost by 8!! Cardinals are still in last place in the division 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
11 World Series championships.. just let it go, the baby bears will always be bad. I can’t wait for you to have multiple 100-loss years in the near future.
Seiya Suzuki is a HUGE disappointment! After his 0 for 5 today, he is now 14 for 76 in June, a .184 avg. with 0 HR & only 7 RBI. David Ross needs to drop him in the batting order because he STINKS! He has him batting 2nd thru 4th, when he should be batting 7th or 8th. We're finally free of watching Jason Heyward's futility at the plate, but now we have to watch Suzuki and all of his inept play 👎
The more countries are aware of the game of baseball, the more they'll play, and we won't see shenanigans like the French removing it from the Olympics. The cost to entry is only marginally more than soccer (football), you just need a stick in addition to a ball to throw.
It’s just hilarious these MLB teams are playing in a foreign country in Europe called Great Britain but no big for baseball only known to be big for soccer coarsely is weird why The tow MLB teams are playing And not to Known Little about baseball so yes
It's messed up how MLB doesn't care about their fans. Pretty much the only sport who doesn't. 1. Do like NFL, don't send the most popular/highest attendance teams. 2. It's about growing the game...baseball is baseball, whether it's played in New York City or Wyoming, so just send the lower attendance teams (some happen to be good teams anyway)... maybe it'll grow their fanbase too. 3. Cubs/Cards, Yankees/Red Sox and next year Phillies/Mets, these fans actually attend games here, good or bad season, so it's just f-cked up. 4. If you insist on sending a popular team anyway, don't send their rival too... rival games are the biggest games, the games circled on the calendar... and you're stupid enough to take these away from us, so we can't attend? 5. Not even gonna complain about the time zone differences, nothing we can do about that... but it kinda plays to the above points...you send the most popular teams, and on top of that it's a morning game today... you just kill a lot of viewing time from all those real fans... like me I gotta work Sunday mornings, and I assume others are sleeping in... Big fanbases with some smaller than normal numbers, but MLB doesn't care. MLB so focused on getting new fans and turning casuals into diehards, they need to make sure they can keep the fans they already have.
Not even a rant about having to playing across the planet... I'm not a fan of it, but I don't complain... is what it is. Just a rant about MLB choosing to not be smart about it.
I'm sure Cardinals can spare a mini series one off against their biggest rivals. Besides, it's not like the same teams keep coming over like Jacksonvile in the Nfl & being in same division your see them again next year what's to moan should be proud the Cardinals want to expand there fan base although the Season they having maybe not . & not sure if it's different in the states or not but who wouldn't want to baseball on a Sunday morning and not only that why shouldn't one of the greatest city's in the world not host games like this . & do me a favour killing viewing time there's over a 100+ games a season you certainly are not short on viewing time .
You guys ask Michael Blake Abraham is easier to Pitch or Hit I’m going with Hitting if I can go thru a game not sweating my fckn a$$ off so be it i mean the first strike I’m on base it takes like 7 pitches most times to get the top of line up
God The king MVP of all sports says he doesn’t want any other guys here anymore it’s time for 5D and beyond so that my opinion nah I’ never watched but with all sexy girls playing and sexy girls in stands sure I’d show up to that I heard it’s hard for you all to apologize to me but it’s time now if it makes you feel any better I made the Hall in every sport with a death defying injuries over entire body so and I don’t care to play healed up I’m already wealthy I don’t want fake guys here in my way throughout eternity ya know I’m fed up with just staring at this desk every day these fake guys are in fake relationships it’s like I’m done with that $ Here I am with no one

I find that view at 3:16 is interesting because of that “arch” in the background (it’s actually the ArcelorMittal Orbit). It makes this look a little more like a Cardinals home game because it looks like the St. Louis Arch that you can see by Busch Stadium.

It did slightly remind me of it as well
