Great vids

Aye

ALMOST 60K AMAZING

Your welcome I like your videos

Thank you for the great videos

Neither did the general manager apparently but how they play.

Calling any indoor game baseball at all is a sin

It wasnt built for baseball so that would make sense

Jared Trupp I in the Tampa area and have been there, I hate it

They should have a retractable roof like the Mariners one.

Hold my *orange juice*

Jacob Smith ha! This comment is better than the regular one.

Tuck you to

Lol!!

You can’t go wrong with Rogers centre doe

Exactly 🤣😂😂

lmao

Its why Tropicana field sucks

@@ohthats_anthony1962 😂😂

Hahaha 😂

More like should never have been turned into a baseball field after doing so well as other sporting arenas including tennis, hockey, and arena football.

BCFC

There

Only Florida would have a janky ass field.

I don't understand what happened there. Mind to explain?

@@enditrianto Its called a "walk". You intentionally throw 4 balls (pitches outside the strikezone) to let them "walk" to first base to avoid having that hitter (usually really good ones) hit something like a homerun or a hit far enough to let another teammate on base to score (an RBI). Its not uncommon to "walk" a batter in a game but in this case, walking a batter for 3-4 games in a row is extremely rare and also means that they were definitely terrified of Bryce that series and didn't want to take any chances. Hope that helps

@@madara792 wow thanks a lot!

@@madara792 He was just amused at that point. Getting paid to hold your bat and look pretty, smile and wave boys.

@@madara792 that’s really cool that you took the time to explain that and being a nice person. A lot of times people would be buttheads but thank you for doing that for him.

Eh they were probably used to it with all their trips to the Trop over the years

why were they playing in an empty ballpark the first time?

@@clayel1 This game was going on during the riots in Baltimore. They closed admission to fans and played at least one game, maybe two without fans.

@@clayel1 it was during the time of the riots in Baltimore, I remember the game well, me and my mom watched it and it was so quiet

Mr. Wigely yea i’d be a multihundredaire lol

You'd have a shit load of dollars.

Somebody buys a hotdog in the stands..."now I've seen everything". 🤣

Watch a full game and try to not change station. Its mostly a snoozefest

Alfie Smith it’s a sport that’s fun to play but not really to watch

I've been going to local double A games since I was a baby. It's interesting, but you need to have an understanding and love for the game, and physically be there. I can't watch a game on the TV at all.

They're even better in person, especially with friends and/or family ^~^

Baseball is far better than your British cricket

Jivan Scarano 😂😂😂

Bbbrrrruuuhhh

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I do my best :)

Same

EXE-Edits I know you do and your work is immensely appreciated

BEEE GOONNNEEE TTTHHHHOOIOTTTT

Crossbow 1507 What?

So right

go back to the real sport tf2

Fancy seeing you here, Getawhale :P

Those talking heads? Some of them don't know the rules.

And no dad gum bs music!

​@@cathyl2338 the crap music is the best part

nice dig, but there were riots going on that day in Baltimore. police brutality, murder of Freddie Gray.

@@MrSafer oh wow, I didnt know that was why

@@MrSafer I umpired a little league game that night, I made a joke during ground rules that we have a higher attendance than the Orioles. It was just to break the tension.

Best part was when the announcers impersonated golf announcers when commentating

@@andrewdowell2663 Even better, apparently without the crowd, the players could hear everything the announcers were saying. So when one of the commentators noted how a certain player was in a slump, that player looked up at them in confusion. They also discovered that without the crowd, the bullpen could hear everything being said on the mound. So they didn't even need to use the phones.

Why are they playing the empty field? Or has it been that long we've had covid?

@@codyallen2838 We are in March 2.0. It is crazy to think about, but yes, it has been roughly 13 months of Covid.

Right I was gonna say looks like a tie

Thanks

Base top 3 worst parks in the league. Sting rays try and make up for it but who the fuck likes and gets super excited over sting rays? You’re there to watch baseball, not cuddle with sting rays. Stuff like this makes me mad

Door stuck DOOOR STUCK

@Jonathan Stiles You should see the state of the game now 😂

Yeah it fucking sucks ass

Well it looks nice so...there's that at least.

I would say it's almost as bad as Montreal's Olympic stadium with it's "retractable" ceiling that keeps breaking and tearing, but at least that thing had the excuse of not being initially built for baseball. Montreal's ceiling is still an abomination though.

Thanks

thank you

Detroit Diz I’m a Yankees fan and thought the same thing but I thought maybe I was just being biased

If you watch carefully the third baseman brushed his arm a split second before shoeless dude touched the base.

Not a Yankess fan either but I agree, he was safe.

LastManSleeping what about an ex he now despises?

Wasn’t 3rd baseman’s foot on the base ?

Can you tell me why they walked Harper?

Do you know why it was empty during that specific game?

i know right

I saw that too lol

I'm looking at it frame by frame and it's pretty much impossible to tell. One frame neither the runner nor the fielder is making contact, the next frame the runner is touching the base and the fielder is tagging the runner.

His hand touches before the tag hits his chest. Definitely safe.

There's one angle (at 11:12 or so) that I slowed down and looked at frame-by-frame (using , and . on my keyboard). I saw the glove hit the runner's forearm just a single frame before the runner's hand touches the base. Just going by the frame-by-frame, the runner is out. But the play is so close that pretty much whatever the umpire says is going to stand, and the ump called out.

It was originally used for arena football and then hockey before finally becoming the home of the Rays

Aaron Duran so your some kind of arm chair umpire? Watch the replay

Watch carefully in slow mo he’s safe

Nice try - but you're wrong

@Web Content i believe in an exact tie situation, the favor goes to the runner

I looked at the angle of 11:15 frame-by-frame (you can do this with the , and . keys, for the curious). I saw the fielder's glove hit the runner's forearm a single frame before the runner touches the base. Just from that, I think "out" is the correct call. But like I said, it was just a single frame of difference. Whatever the umpire says isn't going to be overturned in such a close play, and in this case he called the runner out.

Full credit for not even letting it affect his stride.....looks like he just barely beat the throw, too. Wonder if they challenged it.

It needs a sound effect: “BOING!”

That’s what I saw. The tag came after his hand hit the bag.

I agree

Bruh

Baltimore Riots were happening.

Can't have nothing

cause its the orioles

ThatNHGuy で

Police brutality was the reason. people got fed up over the murder of Freddie Gray.

Definitely safe, tie goes to the runner, and 3rd baseman applied the tag to his chest not his arm.

@@MaverickJ3W No such thing as "tie goes to the runner".

@@alanhess9306 While there is no explicit rule that claims "the tie goes to the runner", rule 7.01 says that he is safe if reaching base “before he is out.” Under rule 7.08, we know that he is only “out” if “he or the next base is tagged before he touches the next base” (rule 6.05 is similar). So, if he reaches the base before [he is out because he was tagged or the base was tagged before he reached the base] then he is safe. In other words, if it’s a tie, he is safe. I think it’s a little confusing, but I think it’s the best reading, and it allows the rules to be consistent. Those two rules (6.05 (j) and Rule 7.08 (e)) are not at all vague - “before” isn’t a word with multiple interpretations. By saying that the runner is out when the bag is tagged “before” he touches it, he is not out if there is a tie - thus, ties go to the runner. If the rule instead defined him as safe when he touches the bag “before” the ball got there, then the tie would go to the defense. The burden of proof here is explicitly on the defensive side. So yes, actually there is most definitely such a thing as "the tie goes to the runner", even if there's no explicit rule with these words.

@@MaverickJ3W You are absolutely correct.... technically. But a human is incapable of determining a "tie" within .4 of a second. When a play is that close, umpires will normally get an out. One team is going to complain either way, so you might as well call the out. That's the way it works in the real world.

@@alanhess9306 You're right, it's far too hard for our eyes to see the difference in real time, it's even hard in slow motion. And you're right that there's arguments that can be made for both sides, basically depending on your interpretation of the rule books language. I wouldn't necessarily say "that's how the real world works" per se, but there's only two options (out or safe) obviously, and you're right the side that the call goes against will argue. This is just my interpretation of the rule, and I'm not a professional umpire.

riots were going on. people snapped over the murder of freddie gray.

11:14 to 11:19…he was actually safe after sliding in to 3rd and losing his shoe along the way.
