"Fuck you, if you don't want me to hit he ball, pitch better..."

⁠@@TheKildarAt that point they’ve usually put a position player in to save their actual pitchers. At that point all you’re doing is beefing your own stats.

@@pilonrulz1 so he should get out and hurt his stats?

@@collincarter3070 Yea, cause those are the only 2 options, get out, or Jack a grand slam on a 3-0 count 🙄.

@@pilonrulz1 well what would you have him do? Because those pretty much are the only 2 options. Either youre gonna be butt hurt that he swung and drove a ball and helped himself, or he has to get out. lol

For real. You're professionals getting your asses beaten, and you expect a handout? Just play better. There's your unwritten rule.

but you're also not allowed to bunt when the pitcher has a not hitter. They should just outlaw bunting. Can't do it anytime without somebody crying about it

Like a bunch of children

Nah, unwritten means unwritten, you play to win, the opposing team can always come back and win. Players are paid to win.

If they really wanna speed up the game, introduce a mercy rule

Fr they're literally doing their dream job at least try until the end of the game.

Yeah I agree. If you're going to complain that they're beating you too much at the highest level of the sport then what are you doing in the game?

It's the fact that he swung at a 3-0 pitch with a 15-4 lead in the 9th inning, then stood there and watched it fly. Lame Chicago announcers complaining about Duffy throwing at him the next night. If somebody had done that against the White Sox, they would have been applauding the pitcher for sticking up for the non position player that got tattood the night before.

@@ripper2087 imagine playing in the most advanced baseball league on earth and complaining about the other team trying....i don't care if it's 15-4 or 150-4, if the count is 3-0 or 0-2, who is pitching, what inning it is...play until the end of the game and when you get beat, accept it

I totally agree with you on everything you just said

I would think the money the massive amounts they get paid would shut them up. But nope.

And the old farts want to label millenials and Gen z people "snowflakes" and tell us we're the ones who love our participation trophies (that they, our parents and grandparents, forced on us) 😂😂

"Don't flip your bat and yell when hitting a homerun! I don't like it! I'm going to bean you with the ball next time"

@@amenenema474 realistically though gen z and millennials are some of the most sensitive people I’ve ever seen. It’s generalizing and I know I shouldn’t be talking because I’m gen z but I can’t be serious with anyone in my age group without being told to chill

I wouldn't say realistically since the old farts are also super snowflakes. " Oh no how dare something offend our religious beliefs? We should censor it while screaming like triggered snowflakes about being canceled."@@Birtheater4545

So they can have something to cry about

You still have to finish the game out to make it official.

Right? If you're down by over 10 runs and there is still a few innings left and your team is giving up, you shouldn't have even dressed that day. If there are more than a few innings left and you're giving up, you shouldn't be a major league team!

If a position player is pitching, you're not exactly trying to come back and win.

@@MaizeAndBlueWahoo You are if your hitters are still trying to hit.

​@MaizeAndBlueWahoo Lowie bunted with a SEVEN run lead.... And then the CHEATER Altuve starts lecturing.... GTFOH...

Very good point. We've all seen comebacks before, keep trying still its the bottom of the 9th with 3 outs and you're in the lead

@@georgejohnson8674 With three outs? Wouldn't the inning be over? lol

@@1981lashlarue i suspect that was the point

@@1981lashlarue That's the point..... ffs

@@JonathanCharron54 Baseball has runs, not points.

It's you

No, it's about acting like gentlemen, and playing with class.

@@colderbeer how is it classless to do your job to the best of your ability?

@@colderbeer 👎

No lol = embarrass them 😁

Great point🙏🏼Bunch of trashcans and a captain trashcan himself Jose Altuve🤮

Pitchers are the most thin-skinned athletes in all of sports.

​@@colyhope6467SOME are

@@colyhope6467 - I don’t think Nolan was back in his day.

Red Sox have always been a bunch of delusional hypocritical crybabies (notice how in most bench clearing incidents it's their pussy asses involved) but nah Yankees are the real villains though according to the baseball world and the Red Sox can do no wrong

Rays are doing the same thing the Red Sox are doing lately though. Hitting our batters and getting away with it but cry when we do it to them. Can't stand that hypocritical bullshit in baseball

Thank you.

Who cares? The job of the batter is to get a hit or get on base somehow. If he fails to do that, then he could easily lose his job to someone else.

@@kevinstull8552 I agree, just explaining what was the unwritten rule.

Why would I follow that rule? Get good. If you lost your perfect game because of me you aren't good enough to have one. It means nothing if I, as an opponent, am helping you.

No team wants to be on the receiving end of perfection.

You can’t as enforcement and punishments are illegal

​@@Calibrex_GamingYou proved his point.

@@hobinrood710 no, because they want the rules written. I am saying they can’t be.

@@Calibrex_Gaming They can't be because? Punishment and enforcement is illegal. So why even have them at all? You proved the point that there is no point in having unwritten rules.

@@hobinrood710 the initial claim is that the rules need to be written down. My counter was they can’t be written down. That did not prove their point of the rules need to be written. If they were being facetious, then the post is lacking emoticons or the a like. Why have them at all you say? Technically they aren’t there (not in the rules), just player agreements with no foundations. This is similar to agreements without documentations in business. For example, I deal with trading and with a group of other advisors, we don’t charge each other trading fees (or sometimes split), but with others like large banks, we will have them cough up the fees. Rules state fees are always assessed, but we agree to pay each other the same fee to make it null. Just like baseball’s unwritten rules: agreements with no foundation that isn’t a part of the rules.

Winning is one thing but trying to embarrass somebody is completely different. Have some class. Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat.

@@matthewmaning4859 If you don’t like getting beaten by a big score then forfeit the game. No point being pissy with the opponent just because they decide to keep playing.

Earlier this season the angels beat the Rockies 25-1 it was the most amount of runs scored by the angels ever in a single game. They lost the previous and next game losing the series. Winning by 1 or winning by 100 still only counts as 1 win and that’s what earns teams a shot at the championship not winning by a big margin

​​@@matthewmaning4859Except not trying isn't being humble lol

​@@jeremygeller9145 Well no winning by a big margin isn't what gets you into championship games but it is what gets you paid 😉

Happens all the time to my Jays lol

@@JustMeELC exactly, Seattle did it the other day.

It's to save the bullpen for future use.

@@matthewmaning4859 it’s throwing in the towel. teams have enough depth to call up/down guys. Owners are controlling MLB time to a minimum to underpay players. If teams give up, run up the score and get stats for arbitration. Money for your family bruh.

@@SO-if3yn Why waste innings on your bullpen when you can save them for later on in the season. It's the same as putting in reserves in basketball with 3 minutes left down 30. Why would you keep your starters in?

@@matthewmaning4859 it's quitting. plain and simple. and that's why he doesn't like it.

@@Autistic_Tarkov_Guy OK so should a basketball team or football team keep their starters in with 5 minutes to go down 30+ points?

Altuve never cheated

@@g-mancollections5264 He did tolerate cheating though, sorry not sorry on this one, for me.

@@JuniorFanCirca1989 man, I guess you're gonna have to stop watching baseball since the entirety of the league was doing the same thing or similar...

@@g-mancollections5264 lmao, everyone was doing it is the worst defense. trashtros fans gonna trash

@@conanobrennan53 What's silly about it, is that the Astros continued to dominate after everything was exposed. The spider tack stuff too. Still had the best rotation in the league...yet, a lot of other teams began to struggle. Just like when all of the juiceheads went after Jose Canseco for opening his mouth. The rest of the league used the Astros as a scapegoat. Guess it's only cheating if it isn't the red sux, stankees, or satanists - cough cough - excuse me, the dodgers.

It's fine if it's how you really feel but if you don't & want to celebrate that's fine too...being fake is stupid lol

Lol. Yeah. Pot meet kettle.

Astrudillo is a funny guy lol

No, but see that's a WRITTEN rule. You can break those.

Your bias is clear when you said millionaires instead of players 🙄 Other than that I agree

Lmfao they’re not just millionaires they earned their positions, literally. They’re athletes who are at the highest level of playing

And, the rules don't just apply to the Big Show. These rules are taught from high school to college and the farm leagues.

We still got 2 titles that isn't going to change no matter how butt hurt you are, keep crying. 😂😂

​@@nukeboy4939 You sound like an immature 12 yo little boy 🤣

7 runs can be scored in a single inning. Unreal to quit, ever.

If the game isnt over, go 100%

It's because he swung on a 3-0 count like seriously?

Absolutely... But when it's just to ruin a no hitter it's just ignorant

Most teams don't anymore. It was stupid from the get go

No you don’t because you can barely even write .

It was the bottom of the 8th and Schilling was pitching a perfect game.

Nicely done lol.

You win this comment section 👍

That rectangle we see on screen is just a suggestion box. Why are home plate umpires behind the catcher and batter??? Home Umpires would have a much better angle to see how high or low pitches were if they positioned themselves more to each side of the batters boxes. For example, when a right batter is at bat, the umpire could slide over the opposite batters box to see the pitches and go to right side box when a left batter is batting.

@@raantaas96 I'm speaking specifically about the strike zone as it appears in the baseball book of rules. The vertical strike zone is between the armpit and knees. They call anything above the belt a ball. Bs.

@@kelvinmathews7198 In theory that would work, as almost any theory in reality do. But, as we all know, not all players are exact same heights or girth. That is why the home umpire standing behind the catcher makes ABSOLUT non sense. Right hand batter??? Position Home Umpire to the left hand batters box. Left hand batter??? POSITION Home Umpire to the RIGHT hand batters box. If those Home Umpires are cowards of balls hitting them, bring back those couch cushion guards that cover their whole body outside the head.
