Six others. The other three umpire crew, pitcher, batter, and catcher all fell for it. Seems like maybe even the cubs manager who came out to argue so possibly seven.

​​@@MinistryOfMagic_DoMts a case of them trusting the umpire calling out the count and going with it. Its not the first time its happened and I doubt it'll be the last.

CB definitely has an Angel on his shoulder

Best part how the cubs were actually getting upset 😂😂😂😂

Randy Moss vs Justin Jefferson? 🤔

But then we’ll won’t have any Jamaican sensations in the mlb…☹️😥

@@whoareyou5278 I honestly can think of nothing I care about less on the qualifications for a job position than someone’s racial pedigree.

@@mr.doctorcaptain1124 It's like suing the MLB for racial discrimination bc you're a bad umpire. Oh wait...

@@mr.doctorcaptain1124 Jamaican isnt a race and that was definitely a joke lol

Ya he needs to ump in the Bob Marley league, he’s all washed up.

He got the term "dog shit" from the manager who was off camera. Jomboy is so good at lip reading that he doesn't even need to see the lips to read them.

official baseball terminology

@@DRChupacabrah Isn't the official baseball term for this horseshit?

@@LucianDevine yes that's another one, but for other stuff.

But "horseshit" was *right there*

The pitcher/catcher could have just been going along with it, they may have known the count but when the ump said 2-2 they were like ok lets just pretend it's 2-2.

The umpire and pitcher both losing the count is absurd

It might be because the ump yells the count every pitch thats why even the catcher, pitcher and batter all thought it was just ball 3.. But all in all that ump should get his head out of his ass that was terrible umping..

Somebody has to be going along with it here. There's no way they all forgot. Or is it so common for players to rely on somebody else to keep the count ?

​@Richard_Nickerson it's wild. What are the chances ?

Almost all balls in play can be reviewed

The ball call was not the thing reviewed, the count was. The umps back in New York simply reviewed how many called balls and strikes there were and determined that the home plate ump called 4 balls and 2 strikes, not 3 balls like the ump, catcher, and pitcher all thought

@@allisonisham6199 ok, that's fine. But why can't it all be?

@@allisonisham6199 I've seen lots of times where an ump says something happens and it doesn't but they ant review that

@@wonderweasle2212 I’ve seen reviews where the call was clearly wrong from multiple angles, and the umps in a tv room support the umps on the field. Braves fan here, it has gone for and against my Braves. I can remember a few times seeing the replay and thinking, “oh, yeah. They got him.” And the ump comes on and says “call on the field stands. Runner is safe…” as I said, it has gone both ways.

He's getting better at it.

This is low key the craziest thing I've seen in baseball. It's hard to believe honestly even though it's right in front of our eyes. Unbelievable.

It’s actually so you can see the low and outside pitch. Otherwise it would be obscured by the catcher’s head. The whole purpose of the slot is to ensure you can see the outside corner. You you position your head and eyes for that pitch and try to keep your head still.

Thank you for pointing this out. Jomboy May be great at lip reading and making jokes but his knowledge of what umpires are supposed to do is dogshit.

​@@Niel2760for lack of a better word.

It’s for safety. There’s even a note about it specifically in the NFHS manual.

Don't disrespect Pat Hoberg and Jeremy Riggs like that

@@mayitakeyourhatsir8632yeah was about to say…Hoberg is the only ump/sporting official name I’ve learned for a positive reason haha.

and we have you for trolling with stupidity

@@dogshake Is Jim Joyce still umping? And Greg Gibson?

This. If you set up right over the catcher, then you lose sight of the low pitches. And at lower levels where they don't have the K Zone for tv audiences, you'll get more crap for missing pitches at the knees than pitches on the outside edge.

Except… admitting he wasn’t sure was admitting he wasn’t doing his job. In that moment, his only jobs were to call balls/strikes, and keep track of them. I dare say he failed at both of those jobs…

It looks like CB is looking at his palm... Is he still using a clicker, or does he still look at his empty hand from years of reflexes building up?

The fact that you call it a "clicker" says everything.

@@MH-Tesla literally anyone I've ever talked to about it has called it a clicker. Maybe one dude who was like 60 called it an indicator. No idea what else you would even call it.

Even the poor catcher, pitcher, and batter

Someone losing track one out of a thousand times, or out of ten thousand times, is hardly a character flaw.

@@FighteroftheNightman catcher, pitcher and batter ain't get paid for counting.

@@jimwerther loosing track can happen to a drunk mofo or a child, not to a damn umpire

@@OompaL0ompa I don't know what "loosing track" is. But Einstein undoubtedly lost track while counting a few times in his life. It happens.

Nope he balls again. Lol

Both are diversity hire! Fact!

We never forget anything... 4-2 Never forget

Lyon hobbling out to bat yesterday as well. Crazy stuff

How Brave of JOMBOY TO SHOW IT?

That's when you need a catcher bodycam, plus one overhead cam looking down from a high enough point, over homeplate, that it won't get struck by stray fly/foul balls, and 2 side cams, on opposite sides (depending on which side of the plate the batter is) of the plate. Then and only then, will we get truly accurate calls, with video evidence! Because the outfield wall cam, always showing the view from off to the right of pitcher's mound (regardless of whether pitcher is a righty or lefty), is and always has been a bad angle, but can't project through the pitcher, so what else can you do to improve it, besides what has been suggested? 🤷

I was wondering about that. I'm a soccer referee, and it's standard practice in a 3-man crew for one of the linesmen to be the backup timekeeper while the other is the backup on keeping the score. That's not an incompetence thing, of course, just taking into consideration that we're all human, with lots of other crap going on in our heads, so have two people track it independently so that you can get it right. Absolutely absurd that out of the three other umps, nobody else has a little count clicker. Is the 3B ump really THAT busy that he can't take on that extra duty?

It is the plate umpire's job to keep track of the count.

And with no other runners on base for them to be keeping track of!

@@GregMcNeish In soccer both assistant referees are supposed to be backing up time, score, and cards as well. Not sure where you referee that they are called linesman and also separate out ARs for time vs score.

@@Not_a_smart_man I'm Canadian, so I assume the linesman terminology for ARs is just part of our hockey-dominated culture, haha. I get fewer confused looks from non-soccer people when saying linesman, so that's my default unless I know that they know the proper terms. And yes, it is everyone's responsibility. I'm an entry level referee, working recreational and low-level competitive youth leagues in a rural area. I'm one of the few experienced referees with the local club, with the vast, vast majority of the officials being teenagers who sign up for a couple years then move on. So, it's really just a simplification in delegated activities to let each AR focus on a different portion of the backups. Gives them a sense of ownership of the task, as well. It's a kid-friendly adaptation, I guess you could say. That's what I was thinking about when I wrote my comment, as sort of an off-hand remark. I shouldn't have stated it as if that's standard practice. I do work matches as AR in the next level higher of competition (still low-level, as I have no desire to go up in levels), and for those games we all take on the full workload of time and record keeping. That just wasn't what came to mind in the moment. Thank you for calling me out on that. I don't want to be the cause of misinformation.

Exactly. The whole purpose of the slot is to be able to see the low strikes and the outside corner. You’d be guessing 100% of the time if you were behind the catcher.

I wrote that before Happ threw a runner out at the plate to end the game
