Everyone is confused about this interference call, a breakdown 

That quote is so overused in the workplace it's not even funny, but in the context of a baseball game it's fucking hilarious.

"I dont even know where to start complaining"

@@stevenhetzel6483 bro youre fucking hilarious.

It's because they can't really argue against what they don't know. But Trump supporters still try anyway.

@@sadbravesfan damn bro he's not even president any more

yeah, that made this enjoyable to watch lol.

They want transparency around the league...

The boys standing there going "wait, there are WRITTEN RULES TOO!?"

It's because they finally get to chat with someone their own size.

@@seraphroy 😅👍

Exactly!!! Good sportsmanship and lots of smiles...

Dodgers and Braves are actually classy lol that's why

@@davidmarkman5678 Muncy’s smile got me 😂🤣

I loved how the two guys that weren't even on the same team were chatting like they were at a bbq or something.

And in the dang NLCS! I love baseball.

150 years of rules leaves a lot of odd shit lmao

Ignorance of the rules is nnt limited to baseball. I was covering a high school football game when a loud voice from the other sideline bellowed that a pass interference foul should not be enforced because the pass was uncatchable. I commented to the chain gang that the claimed exemption did not exist in high school. The man agreed, listened to the bellowing, then gasped, "That's the head coach."

80% of the game is played with 20% of the rules. Most people know those rules. The vast majority don't know the other 80% of the rules, including coaches.

No excuse when you consider how much these guys get paid. For that much money they should take a 8 hour class every year in rules. Tens of millions of dollars. Would a traffic school worth of rule refreshers once a year be so much to ask? If I was a manager I’d demand it.

@@benhaney9629 thats a terrible idea in my opinion. Why waste time training players on rules they might never encounter over their whole career. If I'm a manager, I'm telling them to just play the game and I'll worry about obscure rules

yeah, explain a balk...

@@jimgray3346 if a pitcher releases his hand before stepping behind the rubber it's a balk. Balks are way easier to understand than interference and obstruction

@@MrMW2nd Balks aren't an easy call anymore with pitchers having extremely weird windups.

and then we have to know the UNWRITTEN rules...

@@MrMW2nd yeaaaa that’s like 1 of 8 different parts of the balk rule though 🤣

Yeah I mean the ump just forgot the count which happens

Cause literally no one knew what was happening

Cause it wasn't the world series 😂

@@fedeb727 If this was the World Series it would have ended in a brawl instead 😂

I was confused too

But like rainman

That would be a fantastic April fool's day video

That’s kind of how this one felt. But I would love to see that

F$&@ing GENIUS MATE

Hell yeah, some repeated loops of the same reaction shot of Costello's face, zooming in each time.

same!! one of my fav parts of the game

I agree. I like to imagine that the defensive player is complimenting the runner on his hit.

Oh look, there's Muncy. He also has no idea what's going on.

That’s how I would be if I were a player lol.

Jomboy looks like Muncy

Muncy always looks like he's confused. He's got that kind of face.

I think what I love most about it is there was no bias, they both just wanted to figure it out in good faith. You can see this when Albies is like "He must have got him on the back swing" and Mookie instead of trying to deny the interference offers. "Or even on the lean in"

The enemy of the enemy is thy freind

Not the umps fault...it’s the rules of the game

@@scottyp2505 Exactly. And in the end, the umps DID get it right. So all's well that ends well.

@@Nihilianth only because other people had to do their job for them

Players have always been friends with eachother. A lot of these guys played with or against eachother multiple times in the minors.

Pretty easy to do with scoreboards that are supposed to be accurate in the outfield and you’re looking directly at it. So if your clicker has a different count than the board your mind plays tricks on you and basically you just hope nothing like this happens

I mean, God forbid a human makes a mistake while at work. Being an umpire, especially at this level, is extremely difficult.

It doesn't even seem routine when the ump is about to call a runner out when he had nothing to do with the play. Dunno what rule is supposed to be, but I argue if batter strikes out AND interferes then it's a no-play batter out. If you can just go ahead and call a runner out as punishment, then there'd have to be a rule about WHICH runner to call out and all that, cuz what if there's a guy on 1st and 3rd, which one would you call out in that case? Whole thing was dumb.

@@technomage6736 there is…

Yeah Mike, how dare someone not know the rules for their job where their job is literally to know and enforce the rules exactly as written, regardless of losing count when you have a counter to help you remember and 500 scoreboards around the park that tell you too.

There's a lot of mutual respect between the two teams. I can't imagine Manny Machado reacting the same way if it happened to him

I thought soler hit the pitch at first. That’s how confusing this is.

And because of that. The umps could correct the call

@Piit Hustima🌹 exactly

@@jasongiannaros4091 us fanbases hate each other though… but yeah I was there for the June series in Atlanta and they laughed it up which each other out there

Especially after dodgers come back with braves last year.

A bunch of spoiled athlete millionaires dont care.. only smark fans getting butthurt wgen their team loses

@@michaelmacdonald880 that’s so false lmfao. Don’t speak on behalf of athletes because they’re rich and your mad for being poor. A LOT of these athletes actually care about winning and their main goal is to win a chip. The ones that do it for a check are the ones that end up with 4 year careers after being sent back down to the minors. What a naive statement you just made

Agreed. The game is more fun to watch when the players enjoy their jobs.

@@michaelmacdonald880 yeah at the end of the day they're like damn we lost but I just got paid $50,000 for that game so it don't hurt as much.

shoot, wouldn't we all?

This is the most accurate description of someone I’ve ever heard in my life 😂😂 fucken hysterical 😂

amazing observation

LOL. I love Muncy. Probably my favorite Dodger now since Pollock was traded.

@@ScotchIrishTarheel Yup, always hungry.

It's cracking me up 🤣

Thats how it used to look when those face scammer shits first came out lol. Id rather create a brand new face than use that shit lmao

No upper lip

That was absolutely beautiful 😭😂😂

I thought jomboy had places his face on muncy but it was actually muncy

First ballot for sure

Jomboy for commish

If he doesn't, you guys could always jump on his pole like you do on every video he uploads.

@@sstills951 To be fair, Jomboy has a great pole!

@@sstills951 oh a gay joke, well done 😒

Forget that, swap uniforms too

Love it!

@@SuperNuclearUnicorn that's what I was gonna say. Fuck it let's swap jerseys

@@SuperNuclearUnicorn Honestly, this better happen when something like this happens again. Too freaking funny to be sure.

@@TheCriminalViolin I'd love to see like Harper and Votto be like *ssssshhhhh we're the same person I swear*

That was supposed to happen in 2020 but got pushed back by covid. Still not sure why it hasn't been started yet.

I'm sure Angel Hernandez would be able to provide much comic relief.

Yeah they definitely need to do this.

no full auto in the comments

The spike proteins crossing the blood-brain barrier. enjoy the lifelong brain fog, guinea pigs!

@@LeCharles07 No doubt I used to fiend for crack and weed

Probably just wing it like Angel Hernandez seems to do

just like me at work just say "fuck it" and make a call until management says don't come back 😂

Probably actually pay attention to the game instead of depending on replay to bail them out when they fuck up.

They'd probably call Jomboy. "Hey man, whaddya got cuz we got squat"

Makes you wonder how many absurd blown calls there were back in the day but with no HD replays or people to call to check everyone just accepted it. Ump calls strike, batter thinks it's a ball, and unless it's egregiously bad none of the fans will ever know for sure because they couldn't watch it back

Start watching baseball lol

@@Nothing-kr5de not that I find it boring but when I tried I found the games were too long for me

Lol yeah at the major league it's really amazing how that is even possible.. but when an umpire is by himself. It is very easy to mess up a count even with an indicator. Someone steals or you record an out.. or there is an injury and a time.. and like 6 minutes pass so you clear your indicator... sux but does happen.

I'd say it's amazing, but given what he tried to enforce, he didn't know the rule either, so there's more than one problem with him.

Seems like it should be pretty easy, but given how many umpires need to keep track of how many counts in a season, it's bound to happen once in a while.

@@godaistudios Not sure why you say he didn't know the rule? When he thought it was a strikeout, he made the correct call for if it had been a strikeout. Once he was corrected on the call, he again made the right call for that situation. Am I missing something?

For sure, it took forever and took a lot of misunderstanding but they got it in the end lmao

Thanks to the 1st base coach. Lol!

I don't get why they wouldn't just call the runner out and let the at bat continue, since that's exactly what would have happened if there was no interference and a good throw, and it was probably accidental. The way the rule is, it's definitely the correct ruling, but I don't get why the rule is the way it is.

@@Jivvi you punish the person that broke the rule. Sure the runner likely would've been caught out but you can't know for certain. Maybe the catcher fumbles the throw, or maybe the baseman misses the catch. The only thing you can say for certain is the batter interfered with the throw so you call him out and reset the field to the way it was.

@@Jivvi how do you know he would have been out? You don’t…think

Just wait til we see another pitcher throwing up on the mound.

I want to see Jomboy's face superimposed on a random fans face behind the plate as he calls balls and strikes. Then we can look for him during the intro to the breakdowns.

He's been getting good lately lol

In that case he'd have struck out and THEN interfered.. You can't penalize him, he'd already be out. So they penalize another out, the runner, which here would have been a third out.

@@darkwitnesslxx I get that, but it seems to me the rule doesn't explicitly say that is allowed (penalising the other runner).

YES, THANK YOU! The rule cited would not allow the umpire to call the runner out under any circumstance. Either there is another rule that would allow such a call or umpires are allowed to invent rules from time to time. This was not addressed in the video. Edit: I FIGURED IT OUT. There IS another rule that would apply. Rule 6.01 (a)(5): "Any batter or runner who has just been put out, or any runner who has just scored, hinders or impedes any following play being made on a runner. Such runner shall be declared out for the interference of his teammate." If the batter had struck out and interfered with the catcher’s throw to second, the rule above would allow the runner to be called out. Jomboy should have mentioned that!

@@loacc3672 thanks for the research

@@CF0RD There was nothing in that rule that penalized the runner beyond returning to the base previously earned. That is a penalty.

And it was one of them the whole time haha

@@B3Band they accidentally bumped their mouse and scared everyone and they are too embarrassed to admit it.

@@B3Band 😂😂😂

theyre the reason i cant sleep. i cant get enough. i have a jomboy problem, and im not afraid to admit it!!!

Omg this is the most relatable shit ever 😂😂

Jomboy’s face overlays are the reason I can’t sleep at night

Amen

here I havent been sleep well all year long

all he knows is that he damn near fell over trying to swing at that pitch. and then no one even tells him why he’s out. baseball can be so funny sometimes

See, it was 1 and 2, I get another strike! Wait! I’m still out!?

Right? He's just wandering around like a kid who lost his mom in a department store 😅

Yes, me too! I even said it out loud while it was happening, if not just to know what was really going on.

Bwahahaha!!!

Well i mean, SOMEBODY should be using them...

Me too

I think this is his 3rd year. It’s been at least 3, at least.

He’s been with us for a min now. Everyone absolutely loves him. He’s also our infield coach and the #1 reason why Ozzie and Dansby have become legit Gold Glove caliber infielders and why Riley went from dud to stud on the hot corner. He’s a defensive miracle worker

@@brianhill2171 I mean look what he did for us when he was the Rangers GM. Took us to the World Series back to back even tho we lost both of them. It’s good to know which team he went to, the fans love him like we did.

Ron won’t ever get the respect he deserves but man did he do a lot for the sport.

Yea, agreed. My biggest confusion was how you can call the batter out without him putting the ball in play on a non strikeout. That part will never make sense to me, interference or no. I gueeeeeees it protects the possibility of the batter intentionally interfering to protect the runner if he gets a poor jump or something. But still, I don’t know if that’s really necessary.

@@blackice1796 I think you answered your own question. Baseball already has an issue with being too slow at times. We wouldn't want to see it become a viable strategy to constantly try interfere with a catcher in every steal situation. Plus, we'd probably see a lot of guys wind up breaking their nose when a ball gets yeeted right into their face.

@@blackice1796 if you think about it, a purposeful interference could be a better opportunity to advance the runner than a bunt, so there has to be some punishment. And since the batter is the one that interfered, they’re the one that faces that punishment

👍

There's' still Angel Hernandez and Doug Eddings.

The rule is so obscure it wasn't actually cited

Lol and all the players and umps and coaches, nothing but Jomboy’s everywhere

I'm sure the editors really don't want to see that
