Indians

A collection of 2016 Cleveland Indians World Series hype videos

October 24, 2016 Ai Leave a comment

Hype videos obviously aren’t the best part about one of your teams making the playoffs in their sport. Obviously.

But they’re kinda close.

After Mike put more blood sweat and Bud Light into Bottlegate’s Cavs Finals hype video than anything else we’ve ever done on the site, we decided to leave the Tribe in the hands of the people.

They delivered.

Does a great job of recapping the playoff run so far. Also there’s a lot of Hammy. From the same guys that brought you the Indians playoff hype video before the ALDS started.

Same guys, this time with the Cubbies included.

A little wider breadth of clips in this one, from Sandy’s homer in Game 4 of the 1997 ALCS to Frankie’s first major league hit to regular season games from this year all the way to the ALCS. I also like the song choice a little better than the first video that had me feeling like I was back listening to Kiley & Booms.

Little more about the city & Cavs in this one, behind some heavy guitar that’ll get the blood flowing. Some cool 90’s Indians crossovers with Frankie/Omar and Napoli/Thome too.

At first I thought the music choice was curious but then I remembered you could play three minutes of Indians clips over Jim Carrey doing the most annoying sound in the world in Dumb & Dumber and I’d still eat it up. Lots of Miller Time in this one.

Short and sweet here. Great song choice, all substance and no fluff clips, and Jake fucking Taylor. Outstanding.

A World Series hype video featuring Gio Urshela multiple times? Sure, what the hell. Fire it up.

All playoff clips here, other than that gut-wrenching single up the middle from 1997. Appreciate them working in Jose Bautista aimlessly crashing into the outfield wall in this one.

Similar to the previous video but replace ’97 with Delmon Young taking Danny Salazar to the fricking moon in the 2013 Wild Card game.

Send any other videos over to @Bottlegate and we’ll get em’ up here.

VIDEO: Crowd of Kent State students went clown hunting last night

Shout out to all the kids in that video (especially the girl that called the clown a pussy) for doing God’s work out there last night. If they found him, I can’t imagine the repercussions would’ve been that ugly with campus security apparently involved, but they did give him that one moment of poop in his pants when he saw a cell-phone wielding mob of students heading his way. That in itself is worth it.

I cannot put into words how over clowns I am. They’re the scum of the earth and deserve nothing less than public humiliation and poor luck the rest of their dumb lives. I can handle these bozos in regular clown environments. I do not like them but I can handle them. However, when I walk to my car in the morning to go to work and have to wonder if there’s a fucking CLOWN WAITING FOR ME IN MY GARAGE, that’s a little much for me. Gotta draw the line somewhere.

God forbid one of them starts running towards me like I see in these videos. Barring a complete physical lockup, I would not hesitate one instant to absolutely wail on its multicolored ass and send it right back down to the fiery ball pit from which it came.

So yuck it up while you can, psychopaths. It’s all fun and games until you scare the wrong 2nd Amendment lover.

PS I think I speak for all undecided voters when I say, you want to jump the competition on my ballot in November? Introduce some motherfucking clown legislation.
