@@lukepeden3438 Also, isn't he presumably a somewhat experienced baseball player surrounded by other somewhat experienced baseball players? Shouldn't he be prepared for a baseball to be in the air near him?
My only thought is that he's worried the ball is coming in the dugout and going to ricochet towards him so he's protecting himself from that. Still hilarious though
@@flyingdics1 Moving away so you don't draw an interference call and protecting your head is "prepared". But also, yeah, that kids gonna get roasted when they see this
This really is the forward evolution of the 30 min morning sportscenter in 94-96. It only took 30 yrs for the advancement though, but glad jomboy is progressing sports news!
In the AFL clip, your first instinct about how he kicked that ball was right; It didn't go completely straight off the boot. That was a type of kick we call a 'banana'. Holding the ball sideways and kicking it off centre like he did makes it spin, which creates drag moving it right-left or left-right in the air or on the ground. It's more common to see it in the air from a set kick. Anytime a player gets a free kick or takes a mark near their own behind post, you'll usually see them attempt a banana kick for the goal!
he kicked a "grubber" style of kick but on an angle, this makes the ball curve with each bounce the ball makes. he curled it slightly to the right giving the ball a better chance of going between the posts, if i remember a banana is for kicking into the air hitting the ball on either side of the shoe to get the desired 90 degree from the body kick
More commonly known as a dribble kick or anything along those lines. We don't really call it a banana when a) it's bouncing and b) it's off the outside of the boot. All semantics though really.
7:30 I love that you venture out into other sports! 1 is a straight block, 2 is a cross block, and 0 or a fist or no hand is no block and you step off the net. When she did 1 on her right hand and didn't show with her left that meant she would block straight if it was a right player spike and step off the net if it was a left player spike.
@@stephen_cs, I have as well, but it's incorrect by any source I've seen. I had heard it wrong often enough where I thought that was the pronunciation for several years...perhaps because that aligned what the word looks like to me.
Anyone else remember that baseball player in the 90s who very briefly played for a couple of teams, technically he was part of the Blue Jays when they won the world series, and he didn't really have any talent as a baseball player but was instead known for eating bugs that his teammates would find around the ballpark? Like he ate a grasshopper once in a game. He's a bit of a weirdo lol
Those top-level Snooker pros are creatures of odd habits. I’ve seen folks grab a wasp and just shove it in their pocket, only to be stung and have to play with hurting hand. I love watching Snooker!
Definitely, you missed that Jomboy. He strikes the ball intentionally on the left side of center and creates the spin that eventually (when the speed of the ball slows) curls to the right. Very skilled!
The beach volley blocker is declaring 1-2, on the left they are blocking line (1) and on the right they are blocking angle (2). Pretty much the defender uses that information to know the hitter can only do a hard driven shot the opposite of what the blocker is blocking (because the hard driven shot is blocked), so cover the hard driven on the not blocked direction, and prepare for soft balls over the blocker's head where they are blocking.
I love jomboy for this exact reason he’s one of the main reasons I’m into baseball now and exposes so many otherwise unviewed sports (for the most part) and reveals them to the masses. He’s a goat
I love these videos. You're right about the hand signals for beach volleyball. 1 will signify that the blocker is taking away the line shot, and 2 means they're taking the cross-court/angle shot away from the attacker, and a fist means that they're blocking the ball straight on rather than trying to take away space.
So, a college pitcher can dive into the dugout to make a catch, but a major leaguer isn't expected to make 3 steps off the mound to activate the infield fly rule. smh
Jimmy here’s some volleyball language for you. We don’t call it a spike. It’s either a “hit” or an “attack”. The blocker holding one’s or twos. Is to signal if you are blocking what we would call “line” meaning you will block straight up which they show a 1 for. Or if they hold a 2. It means to block “cross” which is to take away the angle. Also when the red team was serving, usually you wiggle one hand or the other to indicate which side or player to serve. Some teams will also just have one finger pointing down and the other side ways. Which will also indicate which side to serve. In this case she’s pushing both together. Signalling to serve what we call the “seem” which is in between two players. Just trying to help you cause I appreciate that you care to research a sport so you can talk about it and not seem clueless as to what everything is called.
Holy Shit, the ADK Thunder getting a nod was a shock. I'm from Utica, where Poulter has been up and down between the Thunder and the Comets. That dude is a machine, making saves like that is routine for the Issac. Hope he gets a chance in the NHL next season.
I miss ultimate. Played it so much 20 years ago and plays like that were very common, although when I played in college the coach HATED when we did stuff like that
That AFL kick wasn't straight, if you look he deliberately puts spin on the ball by putting it outside his boot and kicking the inside, so as it travels along the ground it's moving slightly toward the goals. Depending on how much spin vs how much forward momentum you can get very curved kicks this way. For NFL fans this is basically what the Dallas Cowboys did vs the Atlanta Falcons a few years back in the notorious onside kick that embarrassed the Falcons.
I got the 68th upvote on this video, I feel like one of those volleyball players laying up a nice ball for the next person to come in and smash it home. Go on, son. Nice.
I always assumed that in the AFL the ball had to go between the sticks on the fly. I guess that's just normally done all the time in order to prevent anyone from goaltending a kick along the ground.
I feel like him eating that bug was just a super nervous move. Like have you ever thrown away your food after making it or put your phone in the fridge?
