They Played TIC-TAC-TOE Mid-Game 😳⚾
Call it a draw. Joe Musgrove and Chad Kuhl had a baseball game to pitch, but their shared mound also hosted a smaller contest, scratched into the dirt with a cleat.
FitVision's commentary Short shows Musgrove starting a tic-tac-toe board and Kuhl adding his own move when he takes the mound. The clips channel's upload has reached roughly 370,000 views in ten hours, already well beyond its usual full-day audience for Shorts.
The friendship gives the little exchange its point. Musgrove and Kuhl were teammates with the Pittsburgh Pirates before appearing here in Padres and Rockies uniforms. Starting for opposing teams didn't stop them from finding something to do together between pitches.
A close-up eventually reveals a completed board with no winner. Viewers have picked up on the neat coincidence of nine squares and nine innings, while another points out that baseball doesn't ordinarily offer the same tidy drawn finish.
Baseball is supplying another fast start for FitVision, too: its separate Short about a pitcher trying a new pitch against Shohei Ohtani is also drawing a much larger audience than usual.
