He came into pitch yesterday and there was a runner on third and he didn’t look down at his feet😭😭😭

@@addisonnguyen8132 bro is a quick learner 😂

My question is How can the coaches not have seen this from the start! Thats something he has probably been doing for years

@@jondough3739 not quick enough

@@rangergun Without any knowledge just the breakdown, seems like he strikes a lot of guys out and perhaps it means he's not used to having a ton of guys on base. His windup practice is fine in those situations and he did a good job keeping the runner at 2nd so it's probably just not a situation that has come up enough to be an issue and with a young guy (he's a sophmore according to the website), there have just been more important training focuses up until this point.

Kid is a Sophmore, I'd bet there have been other things they've been working on and these kinds of situations don't come up as often. Stuff like this happens to young players and then get corrected. Brutal moment for him to learn that hard lesson but the kid was dealing and you don't mess with stuff when that is happening.

@@cinco_de_la_tarde pro I was taught wayyyyyy back in middle school not to do something stupid like that. There's no excuse at a college level. But it isn't just his failure, it's his coaches

If the coaching staff has never spoken to him about this, that is a big thing to overlook. This kid wouldn't be the first young person in the world to discount advice or coaching until they endure consequences. He won't be the last if he still doesn't make a change. This may or may not have been coaching prior to that game. When the runner advanced to third, this is where coaching is more culpable. It was time to lift him from the game based upon the concern of exactly what then happened.

@@cinco_de_la_tarde Guys stealing bases comes up quite a bit. This is a massive opening for reasons other than just stealing home.

Technically he would have had to throw at least two pitches. But you are correct.

" it was at this moment that he knew, he fu***d up " 😂

Lol

When he did that I saw Lisa breaking Ralph's heart and Bart saying it

@@typicalcanadiancarguy7006 😂😂😂I was just going to come here and write that, but you beat me to it.

A tiny closed-eyes prayer before every pitch? Not only does he look like a Texas pitcher, he acts like one.

A big culprit is the large brim on that cap. It takes away all his peripheral vision of things in front of him.

@@4seeableTV Wouldn't matter if he stopped staring at the ground for 10 seconds before every pitch lmao it's a wonder this guy hasn't been stolen on every time someone gets on base

@@sneersh9107 You don't even have to be fast to steal on him. A 14-second 100m runner could lollygag from base to base.

Repent to Jesus Christ “I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭40:1-2‬ ‭NIV‬‬ J

Very important point right there

That's the entire point of Jomboy from the jump. At 2 strikes we have to go...

@@chuckdeuces911 - And a lefty at the plate. The lane to steal home was wide open.

that's why stealing is worth the risk sometimes

What lol he didn’t even try to steal until the pitcher looked down. Thats why the batter was acting normal at that moment.

Lol. Really? The runner didn't start until the pitcher looked down.. why does everyone swear they know what all happened?

Opposing teams can can sense when a pitcher is consumed with fear, and the ballpark instantly goes on edge. To combat getting psyched out, a pitcher should consciously develop a plan on how to not choke in the last inning. The strategy I liked was to decide ahead of time that I was going to make the other team choke in the last inning! One way to do that is to stare down your opponents and make sure that you do not tip off the other team what you are gonna do. There is no point in pitching from the stretch if you are not going to look at the runner! You don't have to look down to prepare to throw a pitch. Besides, keeping your head level improves your balance. I noticed in this case the batter was left handed, and one tactic could be that the third basemen could cover third to hold the runner tight. Even good players make mistakes! And that is why baseball is such a great sport.

If the batter pulled out a unicycle and started juggling, the pitcher wasn’t going to notice, he looked down for 3 heart wrenching seconds, he was completely oblivious to everyone, and probably thought he was the main character that night.

Not with this pitcher. The 3B coach had likely been paying attention to this rhythm.

_"You choo choo choooose me?"_

Lmao haven't heard that reference in years!

I was looking for this 😂😂😂

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd…NOW

Mr. Magoo probably wouldn't have noticed anyway but yes you're right here did a good job not reacting to the steal.

and of course, the ump noticed as well. Even more important for him to not give it away.

And of course the guy in the bathroom totally knew. Very important for him not to give it away

I knew the whole time. (Didn't watch the game though)

The coaching staff more than likely knew too. The lefty was probably a pinch hitter brought in just for that.

What is odd is that it was with a right-hander on the mound.

@@AEMoreira81 Which makes it even worse. LOL

@@csrboltfan2643- I could at least excuse it with a lefty. But that is embarrassing as a righty!

This

The ump also has to watch the mound in case the pitcher delivers a legal pitch or balks.

You can't tip off the pitcher when the pitcher is staring at the dirt. 😂

Well spotted! Super professional!

Yep. You can see him glance at the runner at the same time as the catcher, before he even got into his stance

next day: 12 runs 21 hits 0 errors 16 runs 14 hits 0 errors methinks one team walked a lot more than the other.

@@Future_Legend_Told_Me true

I’m thinking you’re thinking too much

Since they outlawed collisions yup

Stealing home probably is the most exciting *offensive* play. But the single most exciting play in baseball overall, in my opinion, is when a fielder with a cannon arm throws out a runner at the plate. The heroic throw and unlikely tag out is more spectacular somehow.

What risk? Bottom of the 10th, tied game, 2 outs, 2 strikes on a .160 batter, and about to go into another inning.....that's literally zero risk.

I can literally hear what the coaches said about this routine "Hey, if it works..."

Every single coach, every single teammate…. Even in little league you can’t be that oblivious!

Why says they ever did. It's probably come up a bunch of times but usually as a casual mention. "Don't be repetitive, mix it up a bit." But the pitcher just falls back into old habits thinking about his grip or getting that curve ball right. Sometimes you need a hurt before a lesson sticks. It's going to be a long time before he makes that mistake again if he ever does.

@ Found the 9 year old who will no doubt claim he's throwing 95mph heaters already in little league.

Soooooooo true !!!!!!

Second it!

@ 🤦‍♂️LOL then why are you commenting on it virgin??

@ looking at your previous comments on this channel tells me your lying… your a 30 year old virgin bud

I did the opposite. As a batter, I missed the suicide squeeze sign and almost took the head off of my teammate racing home. To add to the embarrassment I stood there watching my warning-track fly, and the runner I nearly killed got mad and pushed me to run towards first. I love baseball, but I had no instincts. Started playing JV in 10th grade, and ended up with two Varsity letters.

@@gunsofaugust1971 Ha! I didn’t think about the dangers the time I stole on my own. My buddy who was up to bat said, “You’re lucky I saw you!” He was obviously right your story being a good example. I was so excited I didn’t even slide. Pitcher was on a windup and I crossed right before the ball did. Loved baseball too but my eyesight was poor.

@@wakawaka1976 I wish the runner was my buddy. We actually had some bad blood, as we were rivals for the same position. The fact that the pitch I hit was a shoulder-high fastball, and I was 6 inches taller than the runner, did not help. I really did almost smack him right in his face. Not my proudest moment, but now, 34 years later, I can laugh about it. ha

Yoooowww!! Same here

@Kasey Tarbet ??? he's here because he enjoys Jomboy's commentary ... he just told you ... ????

Couldn't agree more. That kid is raging with adrenalin, and the 3rd base coach's calm and wise presence -- "I think we've got something here, kid. Take a deep breath and wait for my signal."

Absolutely 👍

@@jameslonergan4830 Aren't you assuming?

Aren't you assuming?

That was silky smooth. Don’t think I have ever seen a cleaner home plate steal than that.

Fr I was expecting a throw and a close play at the plate this was crazy he was already in there by the time the pitcher noticed

bro get outta here

@@koth_harvest_final Not before you touch grass

He could have slid into first and been safe.

Nope. Also, great job for your guy today in the race. Great ambition shown. :D

#MomoStrong

Praying never works in sports

Yeah he knew what was happening. Umpire even took a glance right before the catcher did so I think he may have knew too.

Didn't even matter because that pitcher was lost in oblivion. He could have pulled his pants down and mooned him and he still wouldn't have seen it.

@@adamrickman2461 Right, the umpire should also not be tipping off the pitcher by doing anything unusual. Good umpiring.

@@tommaccarone1481 yeah that umpire played it real cool

Yeah. Ump knew, too. But it's not his job to tell the other team.

Lies. Official little league rules have always banned head-first sliding into home. You would’ve been out and the ball would’ve been considered live still

@@absolutetuber Did you read the part where I said "MIGHT have slid in head first, DON'T REMEMBER." As if I am going to remember the rules 10 years after I played the games. People like you is why this world sucks.

@@absolutetuber Must you ruin this guy’s only good memory from childhood?

ok

I used to play baseball ;)

You’re 100% correct. Jomboy is a gem, great knowledge of the game mixed with good humor. Not only is Jomboy is good for the fans, it’s good for the game

I come here for the Jomboy taint lickers and never disappointed

Hes great at pointing out the little details that would otherwise seem meaningless

Indeed! Reminds me of Ernie Harwell picking a Michigan city for every foul ball, saying “A guy from Kalamazoo is taking that one home with him!”

Slurp!

He’s definitely got a lot more people than just himself to blame lol.

If I had to guess, some coach earlier told him something like "you can get away with that at this level, but not the next level. You should fix it" and then went on to coach them up about something else.

He probably doesn't do it in practice and has never been punished for it in a game before to have it exposed. I can imagine a coach mentioning it in passing to him, but not actually doing the work with him to replace the habit with a different one. Since, it wouldn't be something he would do at practice, it just wouldn't be actively corrected.

I have a feeling I know what he'll be working on at the next practice.

@@miesnerd Good point. I could see it playing out just like that.

"Riiiiiiiiiiigghhhhttt... there!"

I think its 25% his fault, 75% his coaches. Yes he has some very bad signs/habits but the fact that the whole coaching staff or even his team mates let it get that far is terrible. They failed him.

@@TheDevilockedzombie Yeah it's hard to blame him too much, don't think he even realizes he's doing it in the moment and certainly isn't thinking about the implications of such a bad habit, he's just trying to get comfortable and get his head right

This is one of those habits you're supposed to kick in little league. Not high school, not college. Bizarre.

Yes, coaches. It is such a well worn habit that pitching coaches could not NOT see it. Kudos to the 3rd base coach for the tip off, though!!! :D

@@TheDevilockedzombie I'd go all coaches. Set routines are very individual and personal depending on what the pitcher is trying to accomplish. This guy has been doing this for a long time, but no coach should ever have let him. A big part of many team sports is head up, see as much as you can. This set routine is the total opposite of that and should have been corrected in junior high and high school. If he got to a high-level baseball program like Texas still doing this, they should have cured him of this early.

The fact that this sentence doesn't have a period is insane. Not nice when someone comments on your flaws is it? Have a good day sir.

It was, I agree

@@kingsviking found the pitchers burner account

Also, it seems like the closer shouldn't be walking two runners in the bottom of the tenth. I don't watch baseball, but that seems bad. And: The pitcher with the burner account is right. There is a difference between a period and a comma; they are not interchangeable.

@@kingsviking fixed it for you. :)

Ump is watching for a balk.

The winning run already crossed home plate before the runner on second is even seen.

@@jjwats12 Not true. At 2:51 the 2B has both hands straight up and runner first touches base at 2:52.

@@reefhound9902 - You are correct. I didn’t rewind far enough back and was just watching the panned out views from the side. 👍🏼 Thanks.

@@jjwats12 I kinda wonder if the 2B was trying to distract the pitcher to give the runner another second.

I think he felt extra safe doing his delivery because he was facing them. Probably thought no one would try anything, obviously not though lol

You’d have to assume he’s done that windup for years and no one ever tried it, so why worry about it now.

Especially with a lefty batter.

His Monday on campus is going to be amazing, I think.

Wreck ‘em!!!

We beat them in back to back championships 😂 Wreck ‘em!

No?

yes thats what jomboy said in the video minus the guy on second base.

Looks like the runner on second base is celebrating, not playing it cool.

@@grondhero he played it cool pretending he wasnt stealing until after he knew he was safe

You thunk the guy on second knew a steal was coming? Um, no. That was a discussi between the third base coach and the runner. Not even the batter knew.

Dude same. I would probably watch it if he commented the games haha

This comment wins!

He's trying to figure out where his baseball scholarship went.

@@Redvines69 Don't think you'd lose a scholarship for that lmao it's a very easy thing to fix

@@sneersh9107 I've never seen a pitcher take a nap before every pitch. His coaches should have put an end to that a long time ago.

I imagine when it went to an 0-2 count he was like "holy shit I'm about to steal home". I bet his heart was beating fast for sure

He seemed like a douchebag staring down the pitcher 3 times cuz of an inside pitch...but oh well, now I'm a fan that was dope.

@@jamesnialG oo trust me that home base steal is FAR CLEANER than what comes out of the national league AT THE PROS (We aren't including the giants dodgers or braves since they actually CAN PLAY BASEBALL) My team FYI is Milwaukee my hometown very average baseball team who has the most division titles in the last decade just to get bounced out by an actual baseball team round 1 I know division titles are easy since the nl central has 4 minor league teams and Milwaukee in it The only highlights from my division are the blooper circus reels like missing first base, committing 2 or 3 errors a game (unless you're the pirates who commit like 10 errors a game) You got the geriatric retirement team in the cardinals who thinks the older you are the better your chances You got the reds who are exactly like the pirates except they only lose 90 games You got the cubs who are only good once every 100 years lol And that's the story on why I think that steal is better than 99 percent of the things occurring in the nl central

Hi there

Seriously. That's a story worth telling the grandkids.
