Does a ruling actually occur if the mechanic can't be completed?

@@bungus49 that ump could definitely use it. Jesus Christ.

Kind of like how a pro wrestling ref's 3 count doesn't count if you physically restrain his arm before he can hit the mat the 3rd time.

Nice. Just punch an ump before he has time to finish the motion and you stay in the game!

Almost worked too lol

In the words of the immortal Bugs Bunny: "What a maroon!"

If you chop off the umpire's arms, they can't eject you.

@@daviemerim3002 old school, i like it

Luis Rodriguez I saw that too! Did you watch this video or something?!

I was thinking that the 2nd ump just looks like a fatter Joe West

Nomad was the WORST! Glove adjustment…every pitch!

Nomar!! Damn spell czech

And Mike Hargrove...the "Human Rain Delay".......

We will find out next season it's coming to MLB

That was weird as fuck

Except for when he says that the batter is adjusting his helmet between pitches and his sleeves. That's how he's letting the 3rd base coach know he got the sign

Lolololiool

I imagine with umps they don't go full cheek and aim at the hip.

👎Nah!

Lol

The umpire should be required to make the ejection motion, in the form of a wound up point, targeted no higher than the top of the stands. The player, coach, or manager could then jump in front of that point -- with arms crossed in a sort of X shape -- to block the ejection and receive immunity.

If the umpires raised hand/arm is blocked, it should result in the umpire receiving one free kick to the nuts of the offending coach or player. Then the medical staff would determine if that coach / player was able to continue. LOL

Derek Jeter redid his every pitch. He had a couple hits over the years....

@@coreytrevor3910 if only he wasn't a god awful fielder. Should've tightened his glove after each pitch while fielding too

@@TryPuttingItInRice Yeah you're right one of the most popular defensive plays or all time and five gold gloves = god awful fielder

@@nathanlong5185 jeter wasn’t an awful fielder but he was overrated defensively. He had horrible range. Didn’t make a lot of errors when the ball was hit right at him but a lot of balls got around him that most short stops would get

Two words. Nomar Garciapara!

@@DazedN7 my instant thought. The guys had to pull up and tighten his batting gloves no less than 6 times each hand before every pitch.

Mike Hargrove with the Indians....the human rain delay.

Chuck Knoblauch

Garciaparra was massively OCD. It wasn't just his batting gloves, he also took the time to do sime groundskeeping in the batter's box.

I understand but it adds up and it's just trying to save up wasted time

@@joeym5243 it's not wasted time if I get to watch the sport I like. wasted time is waiting in line at the post office or some shit

@@joeym5243 my point is THIS incident is mild.. thats all. A couple 10s and 21s when he literally had to come back to the plate and grab his bat. Ive seen worse in almost every game ive ever played.

@@ram_s_d27 but you’re not watching the sport you like, you’re watching some kid put on a song and dance in between pitches. There’s no need for a 10+ second break in between every single pitch like that.

@@ram_s_d27 you're not watching a sport when the dude is wasting time playing with himself.

yup. a big thing for many officials in any sport is what is "obvious" to the crowd/everyone else. When i reffed soccer and other sports if you were going to red card/eject someone we were told that it needed to be clear what it was for

Did you read Johnny Bench's autobiography "Catch Every Pitch?" It is very good.

@@headintheclouds6935 yeah I ref and ump too and I dont eject players for cursing unless its persistent or they say it loud enough for the crowd to hear ur always gonna banter with the catcher here and there

That's a good tip

I bet he was named by his dad, while chuckling and signing the birth certificate. No mom would go for that.

There was a guy in my high school, early 80's, named Scotty Scott. No joke. He was 2 years ahead of me, played football, but a cool guy nonetheless.

You forgot the add the 'pike position.'

He should have just quit like simone...

@@douglasdavis8395 And stuck the landing!

Then he totally got deked out by the ump, lol

Usually the ump will turn around and make the signal pointing away from the ejectee - no way to block it unless he touches the ump - which is forbidden. Remember Billy Martin of the Yankees?

Flirting with a suspension, he was......

You ever play? Those 10 seconds readjusting are vital. I agree, some do take too long. But that kid didn't do it to show boat or tax the pitcher. He honestly thought ball 4 and went towards first. Gotta be some leeway on calls like that one.

I honestly hate it.

@@mfwicbasterd477 Vital for literally what??? Nothing

Yea it’s obnoxious. Usually it’s the self absorbed douchers that do this too. Get it out of the game.

@@kdburner7356 I still fail to see your point.. I follow KZfaq cooks who have 1M+ subscribers and they don’t have food network deals. So yes Jomboy getting recognition like this is a big deal because not everyone gets an opportunity like this.

@@ItsTimmyB That's because FOOD network is garbage old media, the KZfaq cooks shouldnt want to partner with them anyway, they probably get more viewership than FOOD network as a whole. When was the last time anyone watched FOOD network, you said yourself you just look up a vid on KZfaq. Baseball is famous for being way too late getting involved with new media and now the MLB is dying to get tied up in it (i.e. tons of inside baseball clips and TikTok being a sponsor for the NYY). Frankly I see it as more lucrative for the YES network to tap into JM's viewer base and YES is incredibly blessed that one of the more popular sports clip breakdown channels happened to be a Yankees fan and have a Yankees podcast.

Lmao

Gotta get that timing down

Cather should have taken care of that with ish talking...

Taking a long time between pitches throws off the pitcher's timing

@@ewacaleb9946 Taking a variable amount of time throws off the pitchers timing. If you're taking the same 12 seconds over and over again youre not throwing off the pitchers timing youre just being an asshole

@@ewacaleb9946 another cater to pitchers, they need all the help they can get. What about the batters timing/routine?

@@ewacaleb9946 If I was a pitcher I'd want as much time as possible between pitches just to slow down fatigue. Batters and pitchers both need a clock to keep the game going at a reasonable pace and ending before the heat death of the universe.

"I don't really care about hitting .400, why should i care about hitting .400? Cuz it's a number that ends with a zero?" I freakin loved Nomar

For real, I was waiting for for the batter to get called out for his routine between pitches but was thinking this ain't bad.

YOu forgot call his CPA...

Lol that was the first thing i thought of!!!

Nomar had OCD

Yeah but there should be exceptions to the rule like how he went for the fake bunt and had to run back to the box after it was called strike, or if they hit a ball and make it to first and it's called foul. Shouldn't just say "You got 10s to run back and ready up"

@@blindfire3167 I mean I feel like 15 seconds is plenty of time to get your bat and get back in the box, sure you might not be able to readjust all your stuff, but maybe next time don't throw your bat until you are sure it's a walk

Like anyone cares what drives an umpire up the wall.

@@RMDx2Like anyone cares that you mom thinks you're an all-star when you actually suck at the game.

@@bonethirsty its not that black and white. you can want the time limit AND think it wasted more time in this situation

Doesn't the batter have to be in the box in order to pitch? Don't watch a whole lot of baseball.

@@keshmo12 at 5 Mississippi, if you aren't in the box, I'm pitching.

@@keshmo12 yah, but fuck letting him get into stance and everything though, just the second his other foot comes down in the box throw that bitch.

Why is it important to let the the coach know he has the sign?

@@mrbruh3822 so the coach and the other base runners are all on the same page with batter. Like if the batter is to take a pitch or hit and run or get in the way for a steal attempt. It's usually touching the top of the helmet and a left or right sleeve by all offensive players on the field

O you mean the sign from the 3rd base coach. I thought you meant the catcher's signs.

lol

You must have been a pitcher.

Are you a bot? Seriously. How was that so bad? I've seen guys who take waaaay too long, but this really wasn't even that bad. He only got called out cuz of the weird quirk of the fake bunt thing.

@@branden3785 the clock dont lie

It would have saved the school money to cut him and give any scholarships he had to a better player. IMHO

As a Hawaii fan did you like Rich Hill as your coach? This is his first year in Hawaii so I don't know much about him although he does take an excessive amount of timeouts

@@evanssego7647 he had a lot of success here at USD and definitely mellowed over the years. When I first started going to see them in his early days oh man the arguing with the umps was relentless. I think the catholic school made him knock that off and he calmed. But he definitely had his favorites and when we would see ex players in the minors most said he was tough to play for especially if you weren’t the big dog or his favorite!! And yes so many timeouts usually while on offense. Hardly ever see them in any other baseball game but he LOVES them

@@Unit312J Ahh thanks for the info. He is definitely a change from the old coach who would usually have 2.5 hour games. Now the games are like 4 hours long haha

Fans would rather complain about a batter taking 20 seconds before a pitch because they’re “MAKING THE GAME LAST TOO LONG” than complain about the excessive TV commercial timeouts etc. Ridiculous

I'm with you. Even though this was a mistake by the batter, I kind of thought it was weiner-ish on both sides.

@@kyle-mb1ij when did baseball start doing tv timeouts... haven't been to or a seen a game in a long time but thats gotta be new

10 secs to get his feet back in the box (give or take a second or two) isn’t egregious, and he didn’t grant the batter time while he was in the box so I feel like the clock should stop as soon as he’s got his feet in? Either way kinda weird timing with the false start towards 1B, should probably have something written in the rules to account for that

@@nicksantos9234 if youre trying to tell me baseball doesn’t have commercials…… i dont even know what to say to you my guy

His name is right on the uniform.

No. Wrong. This does not have to happen more often. I AGREE with you about the batter stepping out. BUT, we shouldn't be giving the player an out, and ejecting managers and players hastily because that impacts the game. Stepping out is annoying, it's boring to watch but it doesn't change the entire outcome like an ejection and an out or walk does.

i'm too high to understand this

@@armybirds to be honest? Me too.

The one that got thrown out. The catcher thought he should have been out on the low pitch, so ball don't lie when he was out on the very next play. The homer is a whole other thing.

That didn't just apply to NYC. That was every playground court I ever played at.

@@JU57US fair enough. That's just what I knew. Still happens at Cheesman Park in CO

It would drive Nomar Garciaparra insane.

They do it to cool down or cold the pitcher. There is a similar tactic is tennis.

20 seconds sounds good. Mark Buehrle averaged around 16 seconds between pitches.

Based on the language of the rule, it is actually 15 seconds for the batter because they have to be ready with at least 5 seconds left

Somewhat ironic that the only time this dude was in a hurry was when he thought he was walked.

Why was he sprinting toward 1st base?

He probably wouldnt have been ejected if he didnt take the mick on the previous pitch.

Agreed. The bat flip was cocky, yet the ump didn't look pissed or vindictive

Shut up

Because it’s a brand new rule

@@MrRyan-wu4jx It's not baseball.
