Giants season ends on brutal check swing call, a breakdown

It's fitting too coz his eyes are unique. U would be scared if he stares at u. I think he is one if not the best pitcher. I think he used to throw like 103 mph

@@KTRFP because vampires suck blood and they're dodgers. Maybe it's my humor that sucks

I will never forget all of the incredible things The Giants did this season. It was one hell of a ride!

Future looks good for the Giants. Farms getting better (we didn't lose much to get Bryant for the year), we are shedding older contracts, coaches are really pushing the vets to perform at their peak, FO is top tier. Giants will likely be a force for years to come as they start to get younger and better. Sad way to end this season, but knowing our offseason is going to be opportunistic for the Giants gets me amped for 2022 and beyond.

Post season really matters, and you only won the regular season by a game lol but whatever makes you sleep at night lol

@@Slenderirl Sure postseason matters only if you win the championship, like how the Dodgers won 8 straight division titles and made the playoffs and only captured one championship in a shortened season. I said in my previous comment that no one, including most Giants fans, expected this kind of season from the Giants.

As a Dodgers fan, you guys absolutely dominated this season. The game shouldn’t have ended that way tbh, even i knew it was bullshit. The MLB needs to get new umpires, cuz these guys are blind asf

alright, this legit made me laugh

LMAOOOO!!!!

😂😂😂😂

YAWN ! so Maxx would have beat him up huh ?

"You know what to do, blue" 👹

Fuck yeah!!!!! I love seeing Mad Max in blue!

Of course, he probably thought the one title he won in Washington was going to end up being his only one. So now he's feeling like he has a good shot at another.

I think Scherzer is just glad to be heading to the NLCS instead of being at home because the nationals have been sitting in last place again

You'll know he's ready to celebrate when he doesn't stop screaming for a 3 count.

He’d slide into an episode of Shameless pretty easily

He looks like Sea Bass from dumb and dumber

I would love to see that footage

It’s like they want people to hate their umpires for calls they get wrong that could be easily reversed with replay.

@@Troutprophet this

So then don't make a call you're not sure about in such an important moment.

@@Troutprophet Except I don't think this is a call that can be easily reversed on a replay. There is nothing in the rulebook that defines what a swing is. It's purely a judgment call by the umpire on whether the batter attempted at the pitch. That's the only thing that defines what a swing is. How could replay overturn such a call?

The umps fucking hate replay...sensitive ego. It would be better to concede that one fucked up the call, but the MLB will also except excuses as penance.

Scherzer looks like a 40 y.o meth head who works at goodwill

Some might say this is a breakdown of Scherzer losing his mind, others might say it's a breakdown of one of the most painful moments in their sporting history. Wish I saw it your way. Genuinely

It’s an odd year. They are not allowed to win.

@@choreomaniac Yup...

As a Dodger fan I can appreciate ur attitude. They were a tough team this year. So many comebacks the last couple months of the season when the Dodgers were trying to catch them.

@@tbone2071 As disappointed as I am, the back and forth fight for the finish line between the Giants and the Dodgers was amazing to watch. It made mlb exciting for me which hasn't happened in a few years

@@AndrewIGoode 100% correct

I honestly don't know what's more likely.. both teams winning a 100+ games again or they meet again. I suppose it's reasonable to suppose they will meet if they both win 100... but there is that wildcard game which in this case the Dodgers just barely squeaked by.

prob not, when was the last time Giants won 100W?

@King Yellowman didn’t know the dodgers were eliminated from playing baseball after that…

@@christopherniceley8848 what about the walk that was denied to Bryant in the bottom if the 4th? That was also a clearly terrible call, and would have given the Giants two men on, no outs-and more than likely led to a run. Definitely would have changed the game.

@@fazecrazy6266 we will never know for sure. Too many other variables. He could’ve gotten lucky and finally get a hit. Could’ve been walked. Could’ve been hit by pitch. But it is what it is.

Yeah honestly if Wilmer struck out honestly, this wouldn’t be anything. The Giants stranded like 20 runners on base in these 5 games. Wilmer’s at-bat isn’t why they lost, but it’s what will be remembered.

@@fazecrazy6266 That's not the point and not the spirit of baseball. For example, in a hypothetical, alternate universe, people like you would have said the same thing to the 2011 Cardinals if a similar call was made in game 6 before David Freese walks it off Sure Wilmer probably would have got out, but the beauty of baseball is that maybe he finally beats Scherzer and crushes one 450 feet dead center. But we'll never know

Bryant 5 balls in first inning resulting in a strikeout is another major turning point. Ump card had the game +.68 runs, meaning in theory dodgers won 2 to 1.68.

I'm a giants fan, and I definitely agree. You can't discount the fact that the Dodgers have maybe the most dominant pitching force in the last decade in their starting rotation and their bullpen, and it's pretty dang hard to hit any of those guys even without all of the confidence they were riding high on, holding the Giants to almost no runs across 3 or 4 games. The call sucks, and as much as I'm bummed that our season ended that way, I feel for the Dodgers fans that were robbed of a little bit of finality to their well-deserved win. They're a much better team than the Giants, especially on paper, but I was really banking on our ragtag bunch of misfits to come through and take down the goliath. Oh well -- maybe in another decade we can win another NL West title lol.

I hope for another playoff series against the Giants -Dodger fan

I agree to an extent, problem is the umps were dog shit and our team has been notorious all year of working counts and that’s hard to do when balls clearly off the side plate are getting called all night but the giants were not getting those same calls. Usually you find a get back ball or strike but it was super one sided all night

Giants suck

100% correct. They had their opportunities early in the game and failed to get a hit with runners in scoring position.

the only rational explanation from a dodger's fan i've seen. cheers -- a giants fan

I dont think anyone liked that call. He obviously checked the swing, and the call is a black mark on Baseball, imo

Felt the same. Watched it live and I was very unsatisfied all around lol

As a Dodgers fan I'm glad we're moving on. As a overall baseball fan I'm fucking pissed because it should never come down to that. It just fucking sucks with this ending.

I felt the same. Even if the Dodgers go all the way, the haters will come back to this play.

Point made fucko

As they should now. If I knew my sports governing body was this retarded, I'd play them for the fools they are too.

Not much different than catchers framing pitches. If you can nudge your way for a call and get it, why not?

All the more reason swings/strike zone calls should be robotic at this point.. Can never have a single person use the "judgement call" argument ever again

@@brettlewis2900 Never should it be robotic. People make mistakes, wrong calls are made. That's apart of life. There wouldn't be anything exciting if things were perfect (which is what a robotic system would produce). We strive to be perfect but can never get there, but that's what keeps us going. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Not what he said at all but go off

$o $urprised to $ee the team from LA get call$

@@SpicyTrifongo On July 22, the Dodgers, were up 3-2 with two out in the ninth inning. Kenley Jansen threw a full count pitch with the bases loaded. Darin Ruf tried to hold up his swing but clearly went around. That was a 3-2 pitch with the bases loaded. If it’s a swing and a miss on a Kenley Jansen throw, it’s game over and the Dodgers get a huge win as they chase the Giants in the tight NL West. First-base umpire Ed Hickok said he did not swing. Tying run walked home. The Giants eventually won the game 5-3.

@@papadopp3870 Yea I watched that game. That was a makeup call for the blown strike call before that. Look I don't expect a lot out of the denizens of Los Angeles or Dodger fans in particular, but that ain't it. Not even close to comparable, for multiple reasons. It didn't end the game, it didn't end the season, and the dodgers had a chance to win it after the call was made. Brilliant comparison otherwise, yes they were both baseball games.

@@SpicyTrifongo Its not like the Giants are the Pirates or Marlins.

@@SpicyTrifongo who cares giants werent winning that game regardless. ill be very surprised if anyone but the astros beat the dodgers

I actually had to turn the game off after the horrid dodger favoring calls just kept rolling in. Absolutely inexcusable.

It's called karma

@@xJ0LLYR0GERx 🤣cry cry cry

This entire 5 game series, for the Dodgers and Giants, the umps have been absolutely awful.

I don’t think I have ever seen a group of people actively work so hard at making themselves irrelevant than MLB umpires over the past few years.

As a dodger fan I think that call was stupid

Yup. Ruined for both sides. Scherzer was going to strike Flores out the right way. Umpire took a good save away from Scherzer, now we'll never hear the end from giants fans on how we cheated them! Especially since Dodgers have nothing to do with the umpiring.

It happend to us we could of won 1st place but check swing fucked us and giants won the game.

Casual homophobia and people from Los Angeles, name a better duo.

@@SpicyTrifongo Even if taken literally (which no one should've taken an analogy literally) someone talking about how they took it up the butt twice is not homophobic. How in the world is a men saying they were annnally penetrated twice in any way, shape or form homophobic. That's just called being gay. I don't know how you came to that conclusion.

@@tetrahexahedron3168 He talked about a man putting something up a bunch of other men's butts in a derogatory fashion. It's casual homophobia. Not something I would expect a pro athlete to understand but it is what it is.

Yea. The team that we all thought we had before the season started is who showed up for this game.

Thank you finally a giants fan who can recognize that u guys had no chance even with the bad call

im also a giants fan. the issue isnt that the ump caused us to lose, its that he took the bat out of our hands and the ball out of sherzers hand with that terrible call. umps seemed to be giving their pitchers favorable calls all series as well but that’s a different issue

@@MacLaw3084 as a dodger fan I must say that u have to acknowledge the fact that neither team had a great hitting series but u can’t even say that Flores would have gotten a hit off of scherzer with 2 outs and 2 strikes already bad call or not the series was over already u guys just couldn’t find ur bats on that last game

🏆 for 100% correct. Not one pitch. Lol see ya next year...

He’s perfect for a closer. Very intimidating

Hope max likes closing because he picks when he plays

@@jackd5650 max is the goat. Put some respec in his name

He could transfer to a closer role later in his career like Smoltz did. Would be fucking insane

Imagine if the Dodgers lost a one game series to determine a playoff slot having the second most games won at that time by a difference of 1 game. Gtfoh.

@@James_Bee not that many fans thought that was a good situation for the Dodgers.

That’s baseball; unapologetically ruthless.

You can say the same about the Dodgers though; even moreso since the Dodgers had to play in the wild card

I mean they were gonna lose anyway

I hope he didn't have bad breath...lol

Best move Roberts ever made.

that’s playoff baseball

That's why they're going to lose. It'll work sometimes but when they get to the world series nobody will know who's job is what and Robert's will make the wrong call like he has so many times before. They'll run out of pitchers. They're just super lucky they got Scherzer

Genius if they win; idiot if they lose. That's how it goes, always.

@@jenkinsjohn15 No he is lucky the Dodgers got him off of the loosing team he was on,And for two they all win and lose right?And the dodgers won a lot more games than the Braves did this year, And if anyone in the league can beat the braves this year it’s the Dodgers

I'm a lifelong dodgers fan, and I still get angry when I see this clip. I get where I coming from, but ending a game (Especially one this important) on such a bad call just shouldn't be done. Best of luck to your giants this postseason 👍 Hey, maybe we'll get a rematch and karma will have to take it's course.

@@tombadil64 Yeah, but like I said, it wouldn’t have mattered. Scherzer was going to get his final out one way or another.

Same, how about that for turn around time!

And!

Haha same !!!

As a Giants fan the call was definitely heartbreaking but because there is not set rule about what a check swing is and what is mean to "go around", it's up to the umpire's discretion. So no replay because no hard rule on when a check swing becomes a real swing.

True. The strike zone was horrible for both teams. As poor as Max Scherzer was early in his first start, he lost a lot of potential strikes. The same could be said for the Giants in Game 4. I really don't want a robo ump, but at the rate guys like Angel Hernandez and Doug Eddings are going, they may just wind up doing it to themselves.

@@theswordguy5269 I completely agree.

I don't think he is even saying words, I lost it 🤣

Guy had no shot you squid

Exactly, like baseball isn't a game that can go completely the other way regardless of statistics in a single moment or anything.

You're right 100%. But I think you agree he would've struck out anyways.

Karma for the giants stealing a game that affected the rest of the season on an equally terrible call

I disagree the ump was tired just wanted to go home. Give him a break.

tbh, that whole series was riddled with bad calls from the ump crew. im not surprised it came down to that at the end

@@rawkusrex neither is the MLB

Eh, Giants had a check swing call go their way to pull ahead of the Dodgers back in July. Scherzer was in a groove. 💯 believe he would’ve gotten the out even if the ump didn’t call that swing. This shouldn’t lessen their win or their hard work all season. Dodgers are also one of the teams that was done dirty by the Trashtros so I think these guys are more than deserving.

More like the whole game. The bad calls weren't borderline, they were hands down bad and changed the outcome of the inning and potentially the game multiple times.

Kapler should have pulled Doval after the 8th. The 9th was Gossmans inning… his composure and how he handled his situation proved he deserved that “close”.

If anything, that's exactly what the MLB wanted. They run a business, not a public service. And umpires are employees of that business with absolutely no obligation to the public.

Anyone with half a brain would know that umpires cannot review a checked swing. And also it was a play to end the game.

@@kent266 big difference between a bs call and legitly hitting a fucking tank lmfao

They need an electronic system.

At some point.. reviewing everything ruins the game and the moment..

He set up with his legs straddling home plate, from the camera angle that we can see the bat has gone in front of his body so the bat has gone over the plate

But that wrist and bat-over-the-plate stuff isn't in the rule book. One thing I noticed is the ball was right there when he tried to stop his bat. It's basically a swing that he only stops once he realizes he's nowhere near close to touching the ball. So by my own personal uneducated interpretation of the rulebook, he totally offered to hit that ball but then did the whole hold-the-bat-head-just-right thing to pretend he didn't intend to hit that ball. I dunno, I'm probably just warping my own brain in order to be okay with my team winning in this fashion. But damn if the real rule isn't the most weirdly vague thing in all of sports. Like, what's a check swing? Is it really fair to stop a swing that's already basically halfway? Because in my opinion, who cares if the wrists break or whatever... A lot of times a guy's wrists will break early because of bad mechanics, which results in a lame ground ball... So of a guy stops his swing there it'll still be called a strike? Bottom line: the rule as written sucks, fans, broadcasters, and probably players don't really know the rule because it's been talked about for so long in a way that isn't analogous to the actual rule, and the MLB should have had the forethought to make such a play reviewable. Really dumb.

Bat over plate imo equals a swing, like just because he didn't follow thru makes it not a swing? He wanted to hit it

not to mention in game 5 of the NLDS

@@yoda9256 Everything about this is awful. I don’t root for the Giants, but as a baseball fan this angers me.
