The several hundred fans who thought the Red Sox still had a chance

I was just amazed at that outfielder, you miss that catch, you run after that ball like a demon! You don't just take a leisurely stroll to the ball, did he think the play was dead for some reason?

lol

@@mikevisby8744 If you watch closely, the outfielder didn't have eyes on the ball until it was at the apex of it's bounce. He probably thought it was a HR that bounced back onto the field. Either way, he should've read the room.

I just want to be in the top comment early. Here I am

Been watching baseball my whole life and have never seen that. Not even in Little League. Amazing

And the MLB highlights put it under Soto winning the HR derby, as if anyone actually gives a shit about that lol. Inside the park grand slam is super rare.

There have been 225 inside-the-park grand-slam home runs dating back to 1881 in Major League Baseball. It amounts to about 1.6 such scampers per season. For comparison, there have been 304 no-hitters pitched in MLB games since 1876. Even no-hit games are more common.

@@tchrisou812 🙏🏾 thank you for the breakdown

Man... I'd still have to rule this an error. Those runs weren't earned by the pitcher.

@@DeathBat841 very fucking good

Mr. One Hitter himself

@@DeathBat841 I'd say it was Pretty Good

@@xiaoxiaostickguy howd i know it was goin to happen

​@@DeathBat841 best sports documentary ever made, it's that good. It makes me cry at the end, every time I watch it. The absolutely uncanny musical intelligence that means Jon always uses the most appropriate music for every situation and it really amplifies the quality of the videos, helps enormously with that, it really brings out your emotions even stronger than they would be otherwise. I got into baseball basically entirely because of that documentary series (and the Mariners one). Went from not knowing a thing about baseball and not caring about it at all, to being massively into it and spending hundreds of £'s to try and get tickets to the MLB games in London this year. Dave Stieb is now my favourite pitcher ever. Before that documentary came out, I think it was probably Randy Johnson, but either way I don't really know many pitchers because before the Stieb documentary I didn't follow baseball as an actual fan of the sport. But he's just an awesome human being. I love the fact he actually watched the secret base documentary about him. His daughter is on Twitter and she posted screenshots of text messages between the two of them about it, and Dave absolutely loved it, and said "these guys know exactly what they're talking about". Because of that, Jon said he ended up actually getting a call from Stieb and they talked for ages on the phone, which is really sweet tbh. I'm so glad Jon got to talk to him. He said that him and Alex deliberately didn't get in contact with Dave before making the documentary, in order to make it more objective and unbiased, i.e. not just shilling for Dave because they like him as a person and are friends with him or something, but instead just using the story and the statistics and the evidence and the video clips from games he played in to make a documentary out of. Jon Bois and Alex Rubenstein have made so many all time great sports documentaries. There are no better creators of sports documentaries in the history of documentaries, than them two. I hope one day they get the wide public recognition they deserve, and get given a huge budget of millions by a real TV or movie studio in order to make something about sports in the style they have, not changing their style to make it similar to existing documentaries, but in their style. The extra budget would probably mostly go towards getting interviews with the sports stars involved, more than anything else. But if their documentaries got put on a big streaming platform like Disney+, or hell maybe even got shown in cinemas, they'd win all the Oscars, or all the emmys. Just don't even have an Oscars/Emmys ceremony because you know who's gonna win regardless, just give them the trophy for every category, even irrelevant categories. Cos for them to make these absolutely fantastic 10/10 series, completely free to watch, is amazing really. It's very very generous of them. They should be making a lot more money, considering the amount of joy they've brought to people's lives. Jon's documentary about athletes named Bob is also one of the most incredible documentaries ever made, it's shocking just how breathtaking and wonderful and bittersweet and moving it is. It's a documentary about some of the most earthshaking groundbreaking people in history. But yeah. The Dave Stieb documentary more than any other one they've made is easily understandable and enjoyable by anyone, regardless of how much they're into or not into sports, because it's really a story about being human, a story about an extraordinary human being who did extraordinary things. Really, all their documentaries are about that, about human beings, which is why so many of their fans don't even watch sports. I'd watched the Mariners documentary before the Dave Stieb one, I'd watched all their documentaries before in fact. And I loved them all. But I only got into baseball and actually started watching it, last year all the end of the regular season and then all the post season, because of the Dave Stieb one. I finally understood what the appeal of baseball was all about. I've watched plenty of Jomboy videos before then too, but never really was compelled to actually watch games because of them, for some reason. Jomboy's videos are just brilliant and hilarious and he explains everything you need to understand the context of what's happening, so yeah, you don't need to watch these sports he makes videos about, to get what's going on. I don't know whether I'm a Mariners fan or a Blue Jays fan, now. It depends which documentary I rewatched last. I just watched the Mariners one again a few days ago, so I think I support them. But then the next time I watch the Dave Stieb one again, I'll probably become a Blue Jays fan again. Neither of them are overly successful really, except for the two world series the jays won 30+ years ago, so with either team I can't be accused of being a plastic fan, a glory hunter. I was never going to support the Yankees for example. I dunno if I can support both at once really, cos they're both in the American league. If one was in the national league it'd make more sense. I dunno. I'm half English and half Welsh so I already support two teams in international sports lol. But yeah everyone should watch the Dave Stieb documentary series. Even if you don't care one bit about baseball. Because it's not about baseball.

If I understand sports this means it was your fault. If you or your friends ever go to a game they will lose. All of you there at the same time amplified the curse’s power.

@@orangeapples so true. thanks a lot PugZ you’re bad luck

Heartbreaking experience I bet lol that's gotta be rough

Ouch! Hope you guys at least had fun.

Reminds me of the Twins last year. They hit 7 home runs against Detroit, allowed 0 homers to the Tigers, and still lost 17-14.

The Reds pitched a no-hitter against the Pirates earlier this year and lost 1-0. Baseball is weird.

Gerrit Cole gave up 5 home runs to the Twins earlier this year. The Twins lost that game.

@@YoreTiller yeah, that sounds like a Yankees vs. Twins game.

@@ExpedientFalcon Baseball really is a statistician's sport. You can hear them defend their team with X stats while still leaving out how lacking their team has been on the W's, and they'll still technically be right.

In the same inning no less

@@marchandersons you know the only person to hit two grand slams in the same inning? Fernando Tatis, Sr.

@@marchandersons Wasn't the same inning. Inside the parker was the 3rd and the near Grand Slam was the 5th.

You never walk towards the ball in the outfield. He could have at least ran after it and pulled up when Verdugo got there. I played CF for 8 years as a kid and that hurt seeing that lol

Missing the ball (even by THAT much) can be forgiven.... The lack of hustle can't.

He said that he knew Verdugo was running after it and was going to get their first, and that he didn't want to get in the way. Terrible excuse.

...or, he's just a terrible center fielder. Just a thought.....

As a diehard Yankees fan, the daily clown show the Red Sox do in the field is starting to get on my nerves. I know, I should be laughing, and I still am, but it’s taken a back seat to absolute embarrassment.

The dude's just not a good outfielder, you can see it in the routes he takes, he can't read the ball off the bat well

Playing him in the outfield is just a bad idea speed doesn’t equal good defense he never played it till the soxs put him out there not to mention he’s lazy

Your pain brings me joy

I get the feeling. While I dont watch baseball I do watch football and it was the same exact thing with the giants last year (and prob this year)

can you confirm or deny the thing jimmy said about the blue jays away broadcasts? i find that to be interesting if the blue jays arent sending broadcast crews to away games. maybe definitely vax related.

@@jeffreymerlino4613 Yeah I don't think Sportsnet has been sending their broadcast teams to away games since the pandemic really started. I'm not sure if its a vax thing or just because the travel restrictions in Canada have been stricter than the US for a while. I know there was a whole controversy about Buck Martinez not being vaxed at the start of the season but he is now and he was out for a while battling cancer so I don't think it necessarily has to do with being vaxed.

Ask for an infield ground ball instead?

@@chrisschack9716 They might repeat Bill Bucknor's error instead. Shocking display - this game. Insanity all around.

I honestly wonder, did he think it bounced back in after leaving the park, therefore a home run, and no point in expending energy for it.

@@tonyimboden Nope. He sid he aw Verdugo going after it and "didn't want to collide with him" . Guy sucks and should be in the minors.

yep, "mercy rule just in"

Alex Cora deserves to get fired for NOT benching Durran. Imagine Billy Martin or Lou Pinella managing and that happened??

Yeah, you'd think at this level of play that running for the ball would be pretty much instinctual.

I am a Jay's fan. But Me too I cant understand Duran effort. He should have been called out on it.

He wasn’t getting to the ball first tho, I don’t get these comments, it’s better for him to stay a cutoff he’s also originally a shortstop, also this is coming from a Yankees fan I have no love for Boston

The play blew up on the r/baseball subreddit. I criticized the hell out of Duran for showing no effort. People commented that he probably saw the ball bounce and thought it bounced out of the stands and was a home run. Then others mentioned there was no way he didn’t hear Verdugo or someone else yelling the ball is still in play. Get the fucking ball. Or he didn’t notice Verdugo was running his ass off to get the ball. He wouldn’t do that if it was a Homer. TLDR Duran should be sent down to low A to figure out his defense and what it means to hustle.

@@david-468 Cutoff man? So you're saying Duran should've played it like Manny and be the first cutoff man in a 3-throw relay to home plate?

I think his biggest mistake was not being more demonstrative that he couldn't see the ball to tip off his outfielders to start backing him up sooner?

@@dave4138 I can see your point, however doing so also tells the runners, and the coaches that are communicating to the runners. I would think they have signals to each other that aren't as obvious so they don't give it away.

So the first thing you noticed is what everyone else noticed first, too? Man, your non-bias really gives you that edge that the rest of us strive for.

@@nancymilawski1048 The left fielder was already booking towards the general vicinity, which isn’t shown in the shot until the ball hits the ground and he slides and grabs it. So by the time the center fielder even sees the ball the left fielder is already making the play. The only reason to run to the ball would be to look busy because people are watching.

I believe the sun was to the right of his eyes there, but I doubt that was how he lost it. I believe he just lost the ball off of contact, it happens with a lack of focus. Mistakes happen

No, he needs to be demoted to cashier at Dick's Sporting Goods.

Fenway's notorious for outfielders losing the balls in the lights. The vet outfielders like Jackie Bradley know how to keep the ball in their sights, but these rookies have no clue. It's a mess.

That's exactly the problem Duran is a shortstop they have playing center because kiki is injured. I would have preferred refsnyder in the outfield and Duran dh that game. They seem to think they're making another Mookie Betts caliber outfielder with him, but I don't buy it.

Pat Tabler and Dan Shulman were in Boston as was a dugout reporter. I can't speak for any other production staff. The radio PBP guy Ben Wagner is still in Toronto for away games I believe.

i say this all the time but they constantly do that, red sox must lead the mlb in allowing 2-out runs im sure ab that😭
