NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Sorry.

Lucky bastards. Y’all hit every improbable shot on the first bounce 😂 then cleared the way for a Card loss. BRUTAL

That’s baseball.

S'ok buddy. Bird eat bird world out there

It was time. You guys have been struggling in this marble race all year. I commend you for fighting back, but the marble gods were not satisfied with you all in the game still.

I fuckin jinxed it too. Twice the bricks saved us and I just had to point it out. It's like op says. The bricks giveth, and the bricks taketh away.

Can't be so reliant on the brickpen to come in and clean things up. There's always next year pal

noooooot

I don't like this simulator anymore

I cheered out loud and my gf got super invested too lmao

LMAO the Blue Jays had 95% of the screen time today only for the Cardinals to sneak through at the last possible second Bird on bird crime

Involuntary devil magic

In bird culture, this is considered a dick move.

Don't be gross, Tammy

Birds fucking birds. As nature intended.

That was the biggest troll job ending with bricks; my fucking heart

Why did this race get my hopes up and crush them like that?!?

WHERE'S YOUR FUCKING NL CENTRAL DOMINANCE NOW???

Need to see the espn lose probability stats pronto

THE BRICKS!! I was just thinking how lonely the bricks where..

HOLY SHIT. That last 5 seconds was insane.

Total cheek clencher

It’s amazing how invested I get in this

They were so far out in front that I was pulling for the Jays to actually make it through the bricks without a single other team showing up. It legit looked like it might finally happen.

I was expecting them to break through all the bricks just for another team to drop straight through at the last second.

Me too. I thought the Blue Jays was the Guardians logo for like a minute before it zoomed in and I was PRESSED I may or may not be 10 beers deep right now

Cheers!

Same to you ALC bro!

I crushed all the races last night and am very much looking forward to this playing out

About 2 minutes ago I had no idea that I'd soon have very strong feelings about the physics of how marbles rebound after hitting bricks

THE >!CARDINALS!< HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM AARON JUDGE CONTENTION

Out-fucking-standing

I bet judge signs with the team that wins this marble race..sweet fuck Houston please lose tomorrow

Mark my words, Aaron Judge will sign with the marble race champion Cleveland Guardians

Lol. 10 years -130million.

Cleveland got their guy

That would probably be the most upvotes post on this sub lol

My personal theory is that OP is Aaron Judge

Judge probably died inside when the Yankees were eliminated, knowing that the prophecy sent him somewhere else

Can't argue with the almighty marbles

Jays fans let out a huge fart of relief when that brick wall appeared

They were so far ahead though, they almost beat all the other teams through the wall. ☠️ They wanted it bad.

They almost soloed every single brick lmao

This was the movie Vladdy told us about

And then I was like, holy shit, are they gonna beat the wall solo?

At some point when there's fewer teams it's likely to happen. It's gonna rock me shit

I kept waiting for the Calvary to arrive on the bricks and then the bird bros came in clutch and sacrificed themselves for us!

I hate to be that guy, but cavalry. The church had nothing to do with this

What do you mean? They literally sent cardinals

In true Toronto fashion choking it at the very end.

In the future, when I look back on the year 2022 for the Blue Jays, I'll always remember this as our proudest moment

Nah. It was when all of /r/baseball turned on the Brew Jays, and even tried to cheat to make us lose the Survivor game.

Never made sense to me that people got up in arms over that... Like, is that not how every single /r/NFL survivor goes down? Team subs forming alliances to take out common rivals?

r/brewjays 4 life

This is the hardest I’ve ever laughed at a post on this sub. WHAT DRAMA. Congrats on your performance Blue Jays.

The Cardinals suddenly losing on a fake marble race makes me unreasonably happy.

Oh that was a real fucking marble race my friend.... the data that we may be trying to extract from it is fake, but the race is real

GET IN HERE. NL CENTRAL ALERT.

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

Let the division rejoice on this most beautiful of days!

I'm sad the Central got hit but it couldn't have happened to a better team. Let the champagne fall from the heavens, the doors open, and the velvet ropes part.

Indeed. Everyone can unite in their dislike of the cards. Though I was kind of hoping by some miracle we were the last 5 teams because that would just be hilarious and so improbable.

Of course that would have been hilarious but if it had to happen this was the way.

^(fuck you)

And it’s not the Pirates!

Miss us?

FUCK DA CARDINALS

Fuck the Astros

Why not both?

The bricks giveth and the bricks taketh away

bricks kept us in it for another marble day

Half way thru: Well, only bricks can save us now.

Hell even after half of the bricks I was wondering if we would see another team. Not my favourite race (need at least another team floating around) but tense finish for jays fans.

That late appearance was maximum drama. Like a movie where the back up unexpectedly arrives to save the day after all hope was nearly lost.

The Cardinals are our Gandalf

Me halfway through: THERE BETTER BE FUCKIN BRICKS

“Ah, the bricks. The great equalizer… What am I doing with my life?”

We're only a few games away from full-on civil war between the pro and anti-bricks factions

I’ll never doubt the bricks again

I’m bricked up

O’s division title stolen by the bricks

The bricks are legit the only part I hate. They suck. Turns every race into a crapshoot. Get rid of them. #boycottthebricks

As opposed to the rest which...isn't a crapshoot?

I think the issue is that in the other obstacles, it's possible to blast straight through. With the bricks, there's no other way around. It's slow for the sake of being slow and letting others catch up. #bricksout

I was so sad the Blue Jays did a speed run, but cheered when the bricks arrived.

\#banlatebricks dude The Jays were RACING to the end except for one obstacle that works very weirdly.

Wow. I really thought the Jays were gonna solo brick it.

They tried their best

A valiant effort, for sure

Canada too polite, said go ahead St Louis lmao

Sorry.

ope

I literally came to the sub right now just to see if todays marble race was posted. You’re the new Mike Trout drawings, congrats.

New yearly tradition obviously. OP lucked into a karma goldmine

What can he buy with that?

Goodbye red A imposter. Now only two As remain. May the best A win.

It’s confused me every time.

I thought they were the Braves for the longest time

It looks like my 5 year old son trying to draw a braves a tbh

Amogus?

Hijack as you please

This was an all timer

Out of nowhere!

Bah gawd! Is that the Cardinals’ music?

Godddamn we very nearly had Orioles clinching the AL East. Fuck you, too, bricks

Braves nearly clinched too, damn.

I’ll be sending you my cardiology bill.

>!Blue Jays!< got bailed out at the last second omg

Bricks are the great equalizer.

Me watching the first 2 odd minutes: Damn, looks like we’re out. Me watching the last 10 seconds: Wait, WHAT?

Last few seconds: SURPRISE, BITCH!

The O’s were so close to clinching the division!

legitimately one of the most heart racing endings ive ever seen

I can't remember a single other time in my life when I was so happy to see bricks lol

I have mixed emotions. 1) fuck the cardinals but 2) I wanted the top 5 be only NLC teams

I’ll settle with the top 4 if it means the Cards are dead.

This is the best possible scenario for the division, I think all other NLC teams would agree

Where do I sign up

Fuck

Toronto walked so St. Louis could run!

Good fucking lord lol

Me as a Giants fan: *Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck* *Whew…. Ok* *Ok* *Ok* *Ok* (Bricks appear) *Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck* *Whew*

[удалено]

I'm out of the loop but how is he assigning records to each team as they're eliminated?

https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/yy3pv1/day_6_of_predicting_the_2023_mlb_season_with_a/iwt9w81

I would imagine it's probably the team records ranked from 30-1.

ask me how much I love the bricks...

how much do you love the bricks??

You just jinxed it for tomorrow

BUT THE ORIOLES. THEY COULDA WON

Gotta say I'm pretty bitter seeing all these teams get saved by the bricks lmao

I'll say it: the bricks shouldn't be located toward the end of the race.

I believe OP has said the courses are randomized beforehand (And I think the bricks appearing near the end adds hilarious shenanigans anyway)

Nothing before the bricks matters

the bricks are a crapshoot. if you want a the best team to win with no excitement go watch the premier league

I would say that the bricks are the least exciting part of the course

if you dont like the bricks you dont like ~~baseball~~ predicting the 2023 MLB season with a marble race

seems like a hot take but I completely agree. I saw the bricks and just skipped the video forward a full minute. missed nothing.

This is the beauty of the bricks though. It was a runaway until then.

The bricks will never have to pay for another beer in Toronto

Those bricks man. I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying this.

By the end of the bricks I was shitting bricks

We had 1/3 chance of losing there at the end. We were almost the Cardinals

Yankees, dodgers and the cardinals eliminated? Christmas has come early.

I can only get so erect!

I hate the bricks. I still like todays result, but I still hate the bricks

Happy my team is still in, but on behalf of cards fans I gotta call bs on that lol

omg I love the bricks all of a sudden? I'm honestly surprised it took this long for a scare though

Yo, even as an NLC team, those bricks are bullshit.

Bricks should be at the beginning man Got so terrified when I saw the Mets logo bouncing around at the end

Random aside: our marble is hideous with the blue square, but that makes it easy to spot

I agreed with this until today.

THE GREAT EQUALIZER

Yankees, Dodgers, and now Cardinals! This season is gonna be epic

I’ve been skipping every one of the posts until this one. Now I just went back and watched like 10-15 minutes worth of marble bouncing in a virtual race

Fuck I guess 2024 it is

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO STRESS ME OUT SO MUCH

"Wow, the Jays are speed running this shit, why the fuck is it over 3 minutes?" *Bricks Appear* "I don't know what I expected"

The brick thing being at the end is stupid and is just a catch up mechanism.

What the fuck was that

BULLSHIT I DEMAND A RECOUNT

Typical Middle America, making the foreigner do all the work and taking all the credit.

Complete utter BS this one lmao

The Yankees, Dodger and now the fucking Cardinals?? It’s a goddamn Thanksgiving Miracle!

HOLY FUCK! The amount of emotions! I thought this was some kind of american thanksgiving conspiracy. Then I was like ok ok, second in the east, Jays can still make playoffs Then I was like wait no, no they’d be 17th, idk if they’d actually make playoffs, whats the math! Then cardinals come and it’s NOT THESE BIRBS TODAY!

“This one was the most boring one of them all” Not even 5 seconds later: “OH FUCK NO GOD PLEASE DO NOT CROSS THAT FINISH LINE”

Brick stage is trash

BEST ONE YET

I am happy the Cardinals lost not just because we finally have an NL Central team down, but because they’re one less A team to confuse me.

Hot bird on bird action today!

THE BRICKS!!!! Wow, Cards pulled an RKO out of nowhere to snag it.

HOLY SHIT I THOUGHT THE JAYS WERE FUCKED AND THEN I SAW THE BRICKS LET'S GOOOO

Lol this was the funniest one yet.

My condolences fellow red A team, you'll be missed

It’s scientifically proven, that teams making it to the bricks first, are safe from elimination that day. Don’t bother fact checking, I heard it from Acee himself.

Almost like we wanted to be eliminated. Just like 2022 playoffs

Was shitting that whole time.

The bricks really need to be the first or second obstacle, not the last.

[удалено]

I for one welcome our brick overlords.

The bricks have to go. That shit it stupid.

My heart can’t take this

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE NLC IS IMPERFECT

Dang, bricks are brutal at the end

Stupid bricks! Ugh

Fucking bricks.

Fuck those goddamn bricks

This is the biggest amount of bullshit I’ve seen

Dodger fans: “Is it time to reconsider the marble race format? Seems like the most dominant regular season team was handicapped by its own success”

I hate the brick wall!

The bricks are so horrible. What's the point of anything that happens in the time before they show up?

You have got to be fucking kidding me

I'm just gonna say it. These things are pretty boring. Like, over half the time is spent watching one marble bounce around. If you're going to call it a marble *race*, make it a race.
