One for each homerun Fletcher managed to poke this year.

How weird, I subscribe to them and watch that channel a lot and haven't come across this. I think Wednesday and Fridays they get some pretty baller games with 100k pot swings and have some really good cash game players mixed with some psychos that just have a shitload of money and don't care.

Ok. That’s one of your better puns

Fletcher was the chip leader for a while there but I think he just mentally wore out. It's one thing to play extra innings, very physically tiring but the brain isn't constantly working every minute. I don't know if he was prepared to be thinking about every hand for four plus hours straight.

Having used to play poker full time 10+ years ago, the mental grind can be absolutely brutal.

Baseball will now seem easy to Fletch and he'll have a bounce back season.

Have you guys watched the YouTube channel where Max Stassi plays checkers?  Riveting.

I mean tbf it's not like it was Trout or Ohtani. 

The average Angels fan probably doesn't even know who he is.

"I thought that Eck-steen fella was still playing shortstop."

There was a dipshit at the table with a Yankees cap and didn't know who Fletcher was. Yankee fan by label only.

It’s a cash game, so there isn’t t a chip leader. There’s usually buy-in caps. They weren’t playing crazy stakes but someone can sit down with 20-25k and have the most chips at the table.

[Brandon]

I thought it was a good hand by both when David had KT and flopped the straight against Adam’s AA. Fletcher tried to extract max value and somehow didn’t go broke when Adam lucked out in the run out. It was an interesting hand from a poker player perspective and how both played it.

Blarg was confidently wrong again. But it's just poker so I'll let it slide.

[Blarg]

If I could have bought in for $5k I would have just so I could give Fletcher shit about swinging at every out of zone pitch last season. That and ask Yankee cap if he could name 5 players from the team and watch him squirm and say, Uh..., Derek Jeter..., Uh...

I won a hand against @Derek 5 or so years ago at Adam's house for Percy Squints kids. Gladly lost a couple of rebuys to I think Adam's wife or Jody. It all went to charity.

I once played poker for 24 straight hours. I should have quit after about...17-ish.

The baseball talk was pretty cringe. One dude said he liked Ohtani because he’s Asian and then asked if he was doing good to which someone said, “Uhhh, he just won the MVP”

I had it on in the background, but it must have been brutal for Fletcher. I could hear some of the guys asking questions and some were beyond terrible.

Sounds like a conversation I'd overhear from the row behind me during a game at Angel Stadium.

I prefer the TikTok account where Packy Naughton plays Connect 4. Mesmerizing.
