The whole reason that unwritten rules are unwritten, is because they're too stupid to be rules

The pitcher is having a good game, so we’re gonna need all the batters to stop trying! Thank you!

Lol can’t bunt during a “fifth inning no hitter”? There’s no crying in baseball, like Tom Hanks taught us.

Who else is here after Tatis hit a grand slam on a 3-0 pitch up 7 in the 8th inning

I didn't realize it was an "unwritten rule" that a team has to stop trying when they're down 2-0 IN THE FIFTH INNING just because the opposing pitcher has a no-hitter.

“Oh guys, he’s got a no hitter. We should just stop trying.”

Love how most unwritten rules center around not upsetting the pitcher.

The goal of the game is to score more runs than the other team. That means getting guys on base, which usually involves, you know, _hitting the ball._ There's no rule against bunting. The feelings, pride, and vanity of the pitcher are irrelevant. Play to win.

Pitchers are divas lol. Can’t bunt on em with a no hitter even though you are competing and trying to help your team win, can’t look at a homerun for too long, can’t flip your bat/celebrate after a homerun.

Acuñas homerun was different. he hit it after he was plunked intentionally by Ureña. So really he had a good reason to stare at it. Then the Marlins hit him AGAIN

Pitchers- The Karens of the sports world.

Everytime I see someone bunt to beat the shift I want to go give them a giant hug

It must be nice to be a pitcher and play the only position where you can throw a hissy fit and purposefully hit another human being with a ball as hard as you can.

The only time a bunt is wrong in a no hitter situation is when it’s a blowout. If you’re down 1 or 2 or hell even 3, nothing wrong with trying to get on base to start a rally.

“Will not go well in the fraternity of grown up baseball players” Wtf, it’s a 0-1 game. Now you have the go-ahead run on first. A no-no easily becomes a 2-1 lead with a bunt. What a stupid “unspoken” rule

The bunt to third while they’re playing the shift and back....come on. That BEGS someone to bunt that direction

Unwritten rule? The first one was the bottom of the 6th in a 1 run game. Nothing wrong with that.

Nothing wrong with playing smart baseball...sometimes a bunt base hit wins a game.

Imagine complaining about a guy bunting when you are shifted.

There's just something about the sound of the successful bunt at 3:37 that makes it so satisfying

It is always fun to listen to the team-salaried announcers cover for the unsportsmanlike conduct of their team's players.

If the game is close a bunt is fine, no-hitter or not. In fact, it's a good idea. Bunts keep the defense honest, otherwise they can all play on the outfield grass. And that bunt with against the shift, that was awesome, he could've had a bunt double if he was looking.

*"Oh no, I was in the 3-hole in the first inning and reached on error. The pitcher is now throwing a tantrum for ruining his perfect game."*

I love seeing a bunt on a no hitter🙂

You should do players destroying their former team

I never understood the problem with bunting during a no-hitter. Even if it's a blowout.....why should I care about protecting my opponent's no-hitter? Screw them. Do whatever it takes to get on base, regardless of the game situation. Never think that a game is out of reach.

These bunts are just smart. Live by the shift, die by the shift.

The bunt “rule” shouldn’t take effect in close games that the batting team could still very possibly win

I think the Phili bunt against the SD is fine there was a shift it’s a smart play 1000000 iq

I never understood that about not being able to bunt in the middle of a no hitter. Is the batter supposed to not swing?!

I can't even imagine being mad when playing baseball, its the easiest kids game to play and "getting mad" is just an act that became real for some people who take themselves too serious.

Who's here after the Tatis Jr. thing?

3:37 That bunt was incredible and impossible to defend!

F's in the chat for Greg ( 1:36 ). R.I.P GREG🙏

Play-by-play calling out the no-no is the real broken unwritten rule.

That’s why youth baseball is better to watch. There are not all of these unwritten rules. The crap with pitchers purposely beaming ppl with fastballs is nuts

3:23 so much booing I thought they were playing in Atlanta😂

It's funny when a team vacates third base by putting the shift on, expecting that the hitter is incapable of hitting to third, followed by shock and awe because the hitter hits the ball to third and basically skips to first base safely

Will technology never cease to amaze. How'd they get those cardboard cutouts in the stands to appear so animated?

In most of these bunts, the infielders were playing shifts and way, way deep. They set themselves up for these bunt hits. When you got your 4 infielders (way deep) and your 3 outfielders on the same half of the field, don’t be surprised if they bunt where’s there are no players. You set yourself up for that one. These shifts help lower the hit total but don’t cry when it backfires.

We need to see a video of players stepping on the foul line

@3:37 how can you be mad about that in the 5th inning of a one run game? C'mon now I think that's being a bit oversensitive.

People acting like bunts are so easy and a cheap shot to get to first when they're not. They're something that needs to be mastered. And if you're gonna shift to where the players hit the ball, you can't be upset when the batter strategizes and just bunts it the other way. (Also those bunts we're beauties, especially in that Phillies-Padres game, that bunt was gorgeous)

i cheer whenever an unwritten rule is broken, even if it’s against the team i’m rooting for. no need for unwritten rules lmao

Hey can you do no hitters ALMOST broken up by a bunt or infield hit

Bunting for a hit in a 1 or 2 run game against a no-no shouldn’t be against any rules.

4:39 thank you for a logical response

At some point, you just have to find the pitcher outside of the game and sit him out for the season. If they aimed for the head, break an elbow. You take it outside the game yourself when you try to injure someone instead of play it and if they respond outside the game well....you earned it.

The first one was not breaking any rule! The Mariners were totally in the game and that base runner could have changed the outcome of the game

Yeeeeeeessss... been waiting for Part 6 for a little while

Baseball players have to be the biggest babies in professional sports. 😂😂

1:35 RIP batboy

You want to play the shift? We bunt........that is fair.

I wish I was talented enough to make it to the major, I'd be rewriting all the rules, walking on the mound, stepping on the line, dropping balls to double them up..and bunting in the 9th against a perfect game

i played ball from 1st grade through all 4 years of college, starting catcher...except in teeball, of course. i gave a tin shit about the other team's stats, pitchers, or "unwritten rules". we played to win EVERY game, EVERY inning, EVERY pitch. there's no such thing as an "unwritten rule". every rule you need to play fairly and honorably is already written. if you can't handle upsets, don't step onto the field. the upsets, close calls, and heartbreak--and sometimes miracles--are why we play sports, and why people keep coming back to watch them year after year. it all balances out. for every busted no-hitter, there's a miracle homerun, amazing game-saving catch, or a game-losing strikeout in the bottom of the 9th somewhere in baseball that same day. you shake it off and get out there again next game. there's no crying. there's no crying in baseball. NO CRYING!! >.

What’s the matter with someone bunting on a no-hitter It’s really not a no-hitter if the other team doesn’t try to hit

Part 7 should be 2017-2019 Astros season games

I love when a team has a shift on, so The guy bunts away from the shift and he did something wrong. What? The object is to win. If you pull everyone in on the infield then I will lob it over your heads. Its a game. if you want to beat me then play better ball

4:40 Curt tryin to give Corona to everyone

Have been waiting for this video!!

Bunt against KC was beautiful

"Unwritten Rules" is literally just a synonym for "Baseball is the fastest dying sport in North America"

2:05 McDonald's I'm lovin' it

Yaaay I wanted this so much thx

That one bunt by I think the Phillies baseball player was beautiful

Pitchers are like kids who want a gift when it's other people's birthdays.

I always love the metal at the end. Chimarea this time? Nice.

Love your vids for the great sport I subbed to your fishing channel too

Haha! Nice thumbnail picture. Thanks Wes!!

I like how in the one they were mad about the bunt yet it was ok for them to have that crazy shift on where no one was at third

Year of the snake... By Chimaira....I love it!!!

I’m coming to that mound with the bat if you throw at me intentionally

If you can't stop someone from getting a hit, you don't deserve a no-hitter.

Chimaira hellll yea🤘🤘

MLB Players: How many nonsense unwritten rules you have? MLB Pitcher: YES

You should do pitchers that are throwing wild pitch after wild pitch

3:38 Did he try to wait for it to go foul after it was passed the base? Haha

If you’ve never seen a batter happy about being hit by a pitch you’re too young to remember Ron Hunt.

When your down by less than 2 and you bunt, that hit alone brings the tying run to the plate. There is nothing and never will be anything wrong with that.

3:35 they were running a shift so he just put it down the third base line, there’s nothing wrong with that 💁‍♂️

1:37 bat boys don’t get enough credit

That was a good play bunting. Caught them all off guard

Offensive offense. Makes perfect sense to me, but I'm one of those married men who leaves the toilet seat up.

You should do equipment malfunctions, also keep up the good videos!

So my team is struggling to hit and it's still a close game. I cant lay one down to try to get on and possibly start a rally...just because the opposing team has a no hitter going? Too damn bad, defend it or just tip your cap.

Dominic Brown's Bunt was *BEAUTIFUL*

One of these days people will understand that the mythical "unwritten rules" ARE NOT REAL RULES.

Personally I think down 3 runs or less is fair game to bunt during a no no.

So there was no intent because of the count? Ok buddy 😂

The music 🎵 outro was 🔥!!! Who was that my man?

Gotta love after a pitcher beams someone, the catcher talks to him trying to justify it, if you're going to hit someone hit someone, don't act like the good guy.

Acuna got hit first than hit the homerun so the announcers weren’t rlly biased Other wise great vid I always enjoy watching your vids

I dont understand the bunt rule. Its HARDER to reach on a bunt than on a linedrive. Why do people get butthurt over it?

1:35 lmao poor bat boy

Laying down a bunt in the middle of a close game even if a no-hitter is in progress is a great move. It gets the pitcher upset and rattled and prone to make a mistake to the next hitter. In a 1-0 or 2-0 game...I'm all for it. If it was like 16-0 in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs...then MAYBE it's a bit unsportsmanlike.

Can you do a video on diving plays.

The problem with these "unwritten rules" is that no one has written them down. ANYONE can claim ANYTHING they DON'T LIKE is an "unwritten rule". Personally, I don't have a problem with bunting to break up a no-hitter when it's a one- or two-run game. The job of the hitter is to get on base in any legal way possible. It is NOT the HITTER'S job to help the pitcher get a no-hitter. To my mind, the only valid "unwritten rules" are things that involve showboating, like standing in the batter's box to watch a home run, or flipping the bat. You know, things that involve showing up the opponent. If you want to watch your homer, then you should take off and run your bases.

This just reinforces the fact that baseball is not a sport, its a childrens game that grown men still play.

The whole bunting to break up a no-hitter thing has levels... if it's 10-0 in the 8th or 9th, that's bush league... but a 2-run game in the 7th or a scoreless game in the 5th? Get real... your team still has a legit chance to win

*94 directly to Acuña’s shoulder* Announcers: “I don’t think there’s any way that that was intentional.”
