💡 Why's 'only 2 runs' such a diss?
Jung Hae-young is KIA's closer, and a 2-run lead is exactly a save situation — so 'only a 2-run lead' means his own little brother is coming in to shut Hanwha down. That's the brag.Klore note

    Classic baseball fan move: getting super worked up over the game and loving how intense they look doing it.

    야구 보는 새끼들 특) 야구를 보며 열내는 자기 자신에 취함

  4. Anon· on the original thread

    Apparently they made this because women run baseball fandom now, so they're hoping to hook the 30-40s crowd with it.

    야구만 보니까 만든거래요 요새 야구판도 여자가 잡고 있으니 거기다 3040대 기도하고
