Imma be honest with you, I'll accept that.

oh come one, some of these calls are so fucking difficult in real time

I was very pro-umpire (even though they sometimes disappointed me) until this year. I'm a hard on anti-umpire advocate who wants robot umps. I don't like the concept of artificial intelligence replacing so many jobs, but umpires deserve to be replaced.

And baseball will continue to lose fans. Such a boring sport at the moment

@@andrewneidhart3899 didn’t they gain fans this year? I thought I heard jomboy or someone else say that. I’ve never been an avid watcher, but because of jomboy it’s peaked my interest

I agree. The call on that play at third was pretty good as well. Jomboy had to dissect it frame by frame and it was only one frame away from being safe or out.

I agree it was a balk. And anyone can call a balk, so Nestor needs to shut up.

Bump

Im probably wrong, but doesn’t the pitcher also have to take his foot off the rubber? *edit* I appreciate y’all

@@Krawberry this is what I thought too. Once that leg comes up, and the foot is on the rubber, doesn't he have to complete the pitch?

Racist? Jk

🤣🤣🤣🤣

"It'sa me, Nestorr!" 😂

Mario baseball on the GameCube was so sick! Late night with the cousins n pizza. Thank you

Cleveland Brown is more like it.

As a Tribe fan, I want Nestor in Cleveland so bad haha Dude's hilarious

Funniest part of this breakdown. Hilarious!

Yeah and he should’ve been tossed. If he doesn’t want a balk called he shouldn’t border on it. It’s a judgment call by the umpire, and there is definitely an argument to be made that he balked. He’s acting like a 12-yo turning around like that

@@brendonbuffaloe8830 Because the 3rd base ump never had a view of anything and called a balk on a legitimate pickoff attemp. It's a free fucking country and he can look wherever he wants. end of story

@@brendonbuffaloe8830 and tossing someone for such a benign act somehow wouldn't be equally childish? more so because they just got their feelings hurt and the only way they could deal with that is to toss someone from the game?

Not really. The umpire is a real one for standing up for his coworkers.

@@alexdorfler7778 just meant it was funny dude.

HEY!

Oh yeah, gotta protect those grown men from someone looking at them.

especially that it was followed by a erectile dysfunction ad 🤣

he didn't necessarily miss it, if another umpire has already called it there's no need for every umpire to chime in; sure it's ideal if everyone calls it at the same time, but that's not how it works in reality. also, U1 is looking at the throw as it leaves his hand more than his foot.

He almost fell over the first time because of his foot location being toward home plate vs the second one he stepped forward because it wasn't a balk

@@davej3781 he wouldn’t be watching the throw at all. He’d be watching the pitchers hips just like a base runner is told to do.

Yea that was clearly a balk. Cant believe anyone is arguing that

@@matthewm4336 so clearly a balk that as a batter, I would have had to check my swing lol. My reflexes aren't what they used to be.....

He looks like John Goodman, who WAS a sitcom dad. So your point stands strong.

He looks like John Goodman, who... oh, nevermind.

Well done

Man. What?

@@ronnieturner6820 Watch a sitcom.

It was a balk but really the 1st base umpire should be making that call.

@@ryankelly8980 Really does it matter who makes the call? Why not the 3rd base ump, he has a clear line of sight to the pitcher here. The 1st base ump should be more worried about reacting to the throw. Isolation of duties makes for better calls, and that was 100% a balk.

@@ArcadicGamer I don't think it really matters WHO makes the call as long as it's the right call. But it is important cause it shows that the umpire isn't paying close enough attention. 3rd base umpires usually don't make that call because the 1st base umpire can see left handed pitchers movement better at their angle.

The fact he is falling over basically confirms that his momentum was heading towards home while snapping it to first. That is a pretty textbook balk, which they are normally more murky. Easy call to me.

I agree. The first call was blown, but the second call was close enough to give him the benefit of the doubt and the third call (the balk) he clearly got right, so he did okay. Umpiring is not easy.

I’ll make it one

This is just the surface of the shit he pulls lol

I snorted big time at the end. Was not prepared.

It was a balk. And yes this was a good breakdown. This game had a lot of stuff to go over lol

Shit was messy af. Marte at 3rd looked 100% safe from the angles we saw at the coliseum

@@salvadorfonseca7 I will say watching managers get tossed after a review will never not be funny, if there’s anything positive to take from that shit show

IMO it looked like he made a move towards home and then threw the pick off so I agree it looked like a balk.

I have no idea what a balk rule actually is, but that looked like a balk to me too.

Yeah, I mean balks seem to imply movement towards home and and not disrupting or stopping a pitch in motion. That looked like a pitch he suddenly wanted to throw to 1st.

thats not even what makes it obvious, it's the fact that his momentum made him fall towards home plate. Meaning he was traveling home and not too first.

Absolutely the correct call

Absolutely a balk. And the other 2 "missed" calls were at least close enough to not call him another angle hernandez.

@@provalettrash7 not to mention one of the “missed” calls was upheld under replay review

@@blake60ah41 Your comment gives me flashbacks to when Hernandez had three calls in a row overturned on review.

definitely not 3rd base ump's call. 1st is staring right at it and even says it isn't a balk to the player in the dugout. Just bad all the way around.

could be but it's typically the first base ump's call not the third base ump. Especially with a LH pitcher. That is what Nestor was complaining about. If I balk and the first base ump does not call it then it probably was not a balk. Sometimes the home plate ump will call it but I have never seen it called by the third base ump with no support from home or first.

@@dannybailey3720 yes, normally the first base ump should call that. But he also has to worry about the runner. But he is also a AAA guy so probably would like to not draw attention to himself

@@dannybailey3720 So what. It was a balk and the third base umpire CAN and DID call it.

The balk rule is way to subjective without contols in place. Easy fix, start painting mound with chalk lines (or something else) and have clear lines that can be used to determine a balk. Then, and only then will balks be more understandable.

A bunch of crap ✅

@@justinmraap or "horse shit" if you asked Boone!

When did it have a botched review?

Bob Melvin got thrown out pretty early lmao

Jimmy Mouth Cameo ✅

I was thinking that too, pretty obvious that was a balk

Our ace does that all the time & never gets called

@@landonhaddock27 getting away with a balk does not make it right.

@@landonhaddock27 I mean I don't expect beer league umps to be making great balk calls yknow?

@@boppob1343 I love the Yankees and Jomboy is an absolute homer, showed it in this video.

Leave a request. Link in description

Agreed. There were so many crazy things that happened. I need a breakdown.

I see Rafael Dolis is blowing games in AAA as well...

I second that, should do the Memphis Redbirds triple a team too. The game took place on Tuesday august 24th if possible, hit 3 home runs in the first inning one of them a 9 hole grand slam. Very cool stuff

agreed definitely a balk. i think the 1st base ump was looking at the runner

@@av1204 or more likely the ball being thrown towards him

or just eliminate the balk call entirely. and lets get the sticky stuff back while we are at it. And feel free to swing on a 3-0 call all day long. Send a homer

@@bermchasin I agree to an extent, I think balking towards the batter should be kept but towards people trying to steal plates seems unnecessary.

I enjoy the players who seem like they actually enjoy their job.

Let him have this. It's the only thing he's good at.

Isn't Boone pretty much mad and angry almost all of the time anyways lol?

That is pretty much the definition for being a manager these days 😂

He’s kind of whiney.

A huge part of sport is the "common law" definition of rules. The rules are written one way but are often insufficient to cover new scenarios. So baseball in general has some agreements on what the rule means until the rule is changed. A perfect example was the slide-into-the-shortstop double-play rule where the common law was to slide hard but CLEAN; that was good until someone broke a leg. Balks are that thing were it's kinda understood you have to aim your body at first but it doesn't have to be that obvious--until someone gets cute with the enforcement bc they want to be part of the game. To my understanding, the 45 degree thing is not in the rule book so this "interpretation" will keep happening until they make a hard rule change.

There are very specific rules about balks. That he was surprised he got called is absurd. Not only was his momentum not going toward first, he was straight up falling back toward third. That's a balk and a half, plain and simple.

@@mcassady46 Thank you for your interpretation of the rule. How many years have you umpired? My question is 100 in good faith btw. I'm not dismissing you just bc I do not know if you have any umpire experience. I just want to know how much you have, if any---I have NONE, I only played in highschool and of course only catch MLB games as experience.

We had just gotten to the restaurant and I saw the game on the big screen. I told my gf, “Nestor Cortes is on the mound, there’s gonna be some funny shit going on, just wait”

The dude cracks me up.

This is still true in 2022 XD

who the F cares?? of course he was going to throw home. hes a pitcher...

@@bermchasin ??????

@Admiral agreed, definitely a balk. I just don't like that the 3rd base ump made that "his" call. Thats for the home plate or 1st base ump to be watching that.

@@SirGreyy Lmao, what's this dude talking about. I swear he's someone that went to a game irl and now thinks he's a baseball expert.

@@stateIine I lost a few brain cells reading his reply

It's a valid defense, but at the same time, I don't think I'd toss the manager over that play. You gotta let managers whine every now and then. Toss 'em only when they get belligerent and/or abusive.

@@jasonbaird1645 If the manager is too stupid to know which umpire to argue with, then there is no harm in tossing him.

@@Turamwdd Well when the league employs Angel Hernandez as an umpire I don’t think the league or any umpire that has not spoken against Angel being employed has any leg to stand on.

@@jasonbaird1645 The rule is clear that arguing a review requires an ejection. The umpire was following the rules.

@@Turamwdd you will never be a woman so stop thinking like one

And those editing overlay skills

But the point the players were making is that it’s not the third base umpire call to make

@@916mw it's any of the umpires jobs to call it. It should have been pretty easy for the first base ump to call by himself though. He clearly has moment going home even after he plants his leg to throw.

Agreed. Definitely a balk.

I dont understand the argument that the first base umpire is the only one who can call it. Sometimes umpires see different things and it may not have looked like a balk from first, but definitely was from third

As a lefty pitcher that’s not actually a balk. Just because I’ve had an umpire who’s a minor league say that if he were to go home on that then it’s a balk. Because his leg went towards first then it’s not a balk. That’s just what he said and the other umpires agreed so

ok but why did you have to type the cringe shit lol, yeah it was a balk. Ryan: Types a bunch of cringey shit

@@krebgurfson5732 you yankee Stans are way more cringe

@@krebgurfson5732 sorry mate, just trying to speak current internet lingo. Please translate to non-cringe language for me.

@@bsktballman08 yeah you were doing a "meme" memes are jokes for people who aren't funny. you just use a format and insert your current situation. this meme is writing something out like a screen play basically just repeating what you heard and saw. super cringe matey so to right this non cringe just do what the other 500 comments about the balk discussion said. "it was a balk".

Jomboy is a Yankees fan so he's going to try to give them the benefit of the doubt.

watched the whole game today as well as the umpire ball strike disaster yesterday. If you watched both games you'll understand why horse shit is Boone's favorite word. Umpiring in the last two A's Yankee's games was truly horse shit.

Oh my god I have never seen him that mad

Michael Kay is so whiny and obnoxious.

Where’d u watch it live? Because for some reason it wasn’t where I usually do

@@thecaynuck4694 Michael Kay sucks so bad

I know, if something interesting happens in a game not involving his favorite team, it hardly ever gets covered. But once it's a Yankees game, he always covers even the smallest, insignificant things.

he surprisingly has done the a's a few time this year. one was Canha vs Ohtani, the other was Lowrie vs Alex wood. it's very clear to me he doesn't like the a's at all by the way he talks about them and clearly took both instances out of context. he also did a video on Marcus semien vs Marcus stroman a few years back where he framed semien like the bad guy exactly like he did Lowrie earlier this year. he just doesn't like the a's as he bitches about their batters taking too much time between pitches even though his team is filled with the league's biggest cry babies ever.

@@EulogizingSleep yeah I follow the podcast and it’s a known thing that he admits to. Pretty sure it’s protagonist syndrome due to Moneyball and how much coverage the A’s got for the streak and Billy Beane. Frustrating to watch

@@carterkulm2306 Yeah, and teams like the Yankees and Dodgers ALWAYS get attention. I’m a huge fan of the small market team, and I think clubs like the A’s & Rays deserve more credit than they get.

Why does he have to do content the way you want? You choose to watch it or not. It’s his channel. Isn’t that obvious? I don’t think you know what simp means.

Can an umpire eject another umpire?

@@cagedtigersteve only if the ump is Enrico Pellazzo.

Well we as a society of baseball fans and technology advocates can forcibly eject umpires from the game of baseball by popularizing robot umpires, which exist and just need a couple flaws to be fixed.

@@FloridaCatholicGuy or angel hernandez

@@thecaynuck4694 its as if saying oh lets remove all the bad cards from this deck over here but what are we agreeing on is what the bad card is ?

yeah a lot of ump seems like petty tyrants.

Same here, he just seems like he's out to have fun which is pretty refreshing

For us yankee fans this isn’t anything new!

ding ding ding ding

"Newton complains about video nobody forced him to watch, a comment"

@@Zaneferguson1 "Zane complains about the comments, another yankee fan" And yeah, when you expect real content from a generally reliable source, then get this biased crap, you're allowed to call it out. Were you forced to read the comments? Were you forced to be a sportsfan? No? Then stop whining.

I like Jomboy, but he is incredibly Yankee biased in these breakdowns, which is fine if you understand that, but I’m sure non-baseball fans just assume the Yankees are very discriminated against by umps and other teams 😂

I think they should get rid of the reviews. Takes too much away from the game. Bad calls are part of the game.

@@brianwright9514 also 90% of the time nothing happens from the reviews

@@brianwright9514 idk once in a while, a bad call can change the outcome of a close game...

@@brianwright9514 not with how untouchable and sensitive umps are rn.

They have all these technologies, but half-heartedly tried to use them, thus still making bad calls anyway. What’s the point of technology then? If they still make terrible calls? Either, make sure the technology is used efficiently with more referees on camera, or get rid of the entire thing and let the fans and players howl at referees making bad calls, costing players, coaches, GMs their entire life’s works and salary.

Yup, limpdick umps with a strong union.

Was at the game as well ;) 472 foot shot upper deck! Let’s Gooooo Yankeeees!! Umpire crew has been shotty in the series if anybody hasn’t noticed Lol.

@@EulogizingSleep We’re you at the game lmao

Not true.

I'm a proponent of real time-only video review: if you can't make the determination in real time, stick with the original call. Rules were written to be arbitrated in real time, so the right call has to be made in real time. Multiple viewings, multiple angles to make up for human deficiency? Fine. Slowing down to try and determine something frame by frame? Not.

underrated comment

You are the fucking Grinch that Stole Christmas. Who cares if it was a balk or not? I'm here to be entertained by people with personality!

It was a balk, but what does his foot being on the rubber have to do with it?

A man of culture

Graham Boyd, "Lift leg cannot crossover your push leg" is not part of the rule and is not a balk if you throw to first. The rule is that when the entire free foot goes back beyond the back edge of the rubber, the pitcher is required to deliver a pitch or a throw (or feint) to second base. Lift leg cannot crossover your push leg is not found in the rule book.
