Jomboy gonna get a job offer from the Astros with how good he did at figuring out those signs

"Just fuckin' throw a pitch." My thoughts exactly.

In 55 yrs of watching baseball, I've never seen a pitcher so damned lost.

I learned so much more about baseball in 8 minutes than I have my entire life. Next time I go to a game, I'll definitely keep this all in mind.

When the pitcher yells, "shut the fuck up," Thats when you give him a wink and blow him a kiss. Dude would've been shook the rest of the game.

This felt like the longest breakdown Jomboy has ever done.

How the hell did he think Yaz had the signs when the Cardinals couldn’t get their own signs together…absolute joke

Ump needs to just call a ball in this situation. Throw a freaking pitch.

Goddamn seeing how long he was taking on his pitches I would assume this is the 9th inning with the the bases loaded, but then you find out it's the second inning and the pitcher is already balls deep in 47 pitches, like damn dude relax and just pitch.

I love that both players admitted to this instead of just playing ignorant so we know 100% this is what was going on and not just speculating

As a college catcher, I would have a code change with sliding my glove in the dirt or placing my hand on my chest protector like I am adjusting it. Maybe toss a pebble or some dirt down first or 3rd base line. Lots of things, but never thought of using "out plus one" or "out number" as the indicator. That is awesome. Wish I would have thought of that one.

48 pitches in the first 2 innings! Definitely a good time for Yaz to get in his head.

can we just appreciate Yaz for a minute? runnin around in that pitcher’s head for days 😂

My catcher in high school always wanted to throw the same pitch as the previous pitch if it was a strike. Really great guy to hang with but he was not the sharpest billard ball in the rack.

I remember a clip of Jake Peavy pitching for the Giants a few years ago. He was a veteran at the end of his career, known for being "intense" on the mound, and his catcher was an emergency rookie callup (at least one of the regulars was injured, maybe both). He got so exasperated with the rookie not calling the right pitch that finally he just yelled it to him.

This breakdown is so good because I was totally invested in the art of signs and sign stealing and then the “stfu” totally caught me off guard

This is one of the best breakdowns lol. Great mix of comedy and baseball insight

If espn would do more of this I’d actually like to watch baseball.

"what, I'm not doing anything!" XD that's hilarious

Fascinating breakdown of not just the cerebral "game within the game" stuff, but also the way pitchers and catchers communicate. I had never noticed how complex those systems of signalling pitches are, you really have to respect all the work catchers must have to put in to master that part of the game. Great stuff.

that was an incredible breakdown

If you really know baseball, you know that there's a lot going on when nothing's going on...

best part always is when Jomboy uses his voice in place of the players speaking

Jomboy figuring out the signs in the breakdown was way more entertaining then watching the pitcher and catcher not get any of their sighs correct and understanding their sequence.

Do a vid on how the dbacks choked against the giants in the 9th inning

This must have been the longest inning lmao this dude really did just need to relax and throw a pitch

Best part of this breakdown is how relevant it will always be to the game. You could pull a clip from 1980 or rewatch this in 2040 and it'll still apply.

when I was only 13 years old, the year was 1973 we had season tickets for the Angels, back then 10,000 was a full crowd. I learned so much of the game. there is nothing like it. I could hear them talk, and going to 80 games, yes 80 games that year.. it was amazing, plus 7 foul balls in 1 year. life time memory for sure.

My team used a cool sign method. Catcher lays first sign and then you add 1 for every sign he shows after that. Say I throw 3 pitches: 1 = fastball, 2 = curve, 3 = change. Catcher flashes 2, 2, 2. The pitch is fastball. Start at 2, then there are 2 more signs shown. So go from 2 to 3 and start back over at 1. So simple, but so hard to crack.

Seahawks should have ran the ball

This is why they put in the pitch clock lol

Great video, love yaz, people that say baseball is "boring" dont get this part of the game and the depth involved besides throwing and hitting. To me it's what makes it exciting

Yastrzemski is known to be pretty good at deciphering signs on second. Pitchers really don't like when he's on second.

Mike Krukow did not like this rookie barking at Yaz. I remember watching the Giants broadcast and he was pretty fired up.

man im glad they put the pitch clock in for these times where the pitcher steps off 3 times

found this channel recently. I laugh harder at the narration in these than any videos I've watched online.

When I played in college we did “follow the 1 mod 5” which was after the 1, you add up the next numbers until you get 5, and then the next number is the pitch. It was so complicated we had many cross ups, and pitchers doing math on the mound instead of focusing on pitching, so I think it did way more harm than good. Glad I was a position player because I’m not sure I could have done mental math on the mound haha.

Yo JomBoy. LaMonte Wade Jr. (GIANTS)Hit a Splash Hit Homerun over his moms head as she was being filmed. This happened a few games after he injured himself, fouling a ball off his leg and hurting himself as both his parents were in attendance and on camera….HE TOTALLY REDEEMED HIMSELF. Cheesy stuff that I’m sure you’ll get a kick out. Look it up.

I was a catcher for a while in the eighties and was a batting practice pitcher. We couldn't use cheat sheets we had to keep it in our heads. Pitcher or catcher you have to know the pitch so you don't lose it. As a catcher you use glove motions to correct the pitcher. Pull catches to fool the umpire. You basically can control the field if you do it right.

Argument for the pitch clock, Exhibit A!

4:25 ''..What's five? I just chose it.. '' Pure gold. Thank you.

My boyfriend loves baseball and showed me this channel. I'm trying to learn more about the sport through jomboy :)

LMAO... Yas, admitting he was simply messing with the pitcher. Love it. LET'S GO GIANTS!!!!! 🤘😆🤘

What do you mean “Yaz was guessing pitches” Jomboy was guessing pitches. Impressive

I’ve found a garbage can works best for this

Jomboy definitely has one of the best fanbases despite growing his channel so quickly

Thank goodness for the pitch clock....Damn foolishness...Just throw the ball!

Who else here so happy about the introduction of the pitch clock

God bless Jomboy explaining things for the people like me that know NOTHING about baseball but are obsessed with his breakdowns

I went to a game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis once. Saw Ozzy Smith do his backflips to enter the game. That was cool.

Yas looked guilty as hell when the pitcher called him out lmao I love it 😂😂😂

Honestly, as someone who's never watched a game of Baseball, couldn't even name a single baseball player, this is so interesting. I had no idea there was this level of planning and stuff going on.

I was actually at this game, I think I was getting garlic fries when this happened though lmao.

You know it’s gonna be a good breakdown when it’s getting hyped up in the first 20 seconds

I hate baseball but I love this channel. That pitcher was absolutely terrified and it showed. 😂🤣😂

This is awesome. I never really played baseball after tee ball because I thought it was boring but these break downs help a ton.

Great job! Yaz had that pitcher thinking about things not related to pitching. I wish the batter had hit a homer to see a good meltdown.

This was a great breakdown. Learned something new, it was funny and entertaining, and best of all, Jomboy made it. Keep doing more breakdowns like this, showing the finer, more mental parts of the game.

Love the content, never thought I’d be into these breakdown videos but it’s just to interesting

At the younger levels the signs between the catcher and pitcher are usually straight forward and simple. 1 for Fastball, 2 for Breaking Ball, 3 for changeup. If/when a runner reaches 2nd, they might mix it up by in going on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th sign. Or they might have an indicator like whatever gets flashed after the catcher puts down a certain number number of fingers. Or they might even change it to the catcher touching certain spots on his gear, while whatever the catcher flashes mean absolutely nothing.. Sometimes the signs might be coming from the dugout, an whatever the catcher does is a decoy. Baseball offers opportunities for guys to get real creative with signage. At the college and professional levels pitchers usually have a lot more control over where they are trying to throw the ball. They, at least, have a better idea of where they want/need to throw their pitches. This brings in another level of signs between the catcher and pitcher. There will be one sign for the pitch type, and one sign for the location, or zone, of the pitch. As you can probably imagine, things start to get complicated. If/when a runner is on 2nd, things can get really complicated to the point of easily confusing. Hence the cheat sheets. Baseball is boring to the average onlooker who doesn't know what they're looking at, but if you understand basic baseball, you know that baseball is situation dependent, and the situation of the game changes from pitch to pitch.

You know honestly,this was one of my favorite breakdowns. Great insight,great humor,and some advice at the end. Also might be the longest one but never felt like it dragged.

i was at this game it was really weird to see it because i was really confused but now it makes so much sense

If a catcher and pitcher aren’t in sync it must get emotionally exhausting

Pitcher: “STFU!” *Trash can banging noise intensifies*

Jomboy- guesses every sign right and breaks down the code *Astros would like to know your location*

Switched to sling and can barely find any games. Thank you Jomboy it’s pretty much all the baseball I can get right now

I love this guy especially when he reads the lips of the players. Awesome!

Awesome break down. I knew there was a language going on there. Had no idea. Going to see games now in a different lens. Thank you!!

Football season’s coming and ive never watched a full baseball game in my life but jomboy’s breakdowns are fun to watch and ive prolly learned about baseball here than anywhere

This does not change the fact that in Australia there are 48 million kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,380 inhabitants. So if the kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay, each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos.

Thank you Jomboy, the way you can relate it all together. I like the way you say what people are thinking, reminds you that we're all human

First time I've ever seen players pull out cheat sheets ever! That's nuts!

I love the funny breakdowns, especially with lip reading, but as someone who likes baseball but doesn't know the ins and outs of playing, I really enjoyed the insight on the signs. More breakdowns with teaching us how to read signs please!

Imagine if they ever started texting signs 😆

I’ve learned more about baseball from your videos. Thank you! This is awesome.

the way the voice over is perfectly timed on the first stfu caught me so off guard🤣

Jomboy has taught me so much about baseball that I didn't know. Thank you guys.

Pitchers are absolutely adorable with their fragile little feelings. So cute...

this was really fun to watch thank you

JOMBOY, JOMBOY, EVERYONE NEEDS A JOMBOY!!!!

As a kid when I started little league my dad would always tell me that in baseball there's a lot going on when nothings going on. Of course I didn't get it until I got a little older but once I got into tournament ball and we were using sequences and had cards in our hats for shifts and stuff I understood.

You need to break down the Braves cardinals game they walked like 4 batters in a row!!

The signs they were doing at the end wasn’t the numbers haha. It was catcher glove location. Hand on knee for fastball and glove on ground for breaker

please remember us when youre broadcasting on some nationally televised baseball show. seriously, that was some top-notch, A++, prime time breaking down action

Love the breakdown of the game on such a high level

"Whats 5, I just chose it, I gotta make sure I know" lol

That was a great video. Thanks for narrating that arcane action. I have to say that AT THE GAME you can't see anything like what we just saw. At the game has its own charms especially if you're lucky enough to get great seats down near the field and really feel the players. But you can't see signs, like you just showed us. Thank you!!

I attended a Padre game back in the late '70s in which Randy Jones threw a complete came in 92 minutes. In the modern game, one inning can take 40 minutes. 4-hour baseball games with most of the MLB team batting averages below .230 and billion strikeouts has made the game unwatchable

Oh wow . I thought this was about a Astros game or something .

I genuinely appreciate jimmy for growing baseball

And because of that, we got the Pitch Clock

This is why we call baseball players the "Boys of Summer." - "I don't know what their signs are, but I'll make them think that I do."

Wow! No wonder games drag on. Picking signs up from 2B extremely difficult especially when they change them so often. This pitcher was worried more about the runner getting signs than making the pitch. Even if the hitter knows what’s coming, you make a quality pitch you can still get the batter out. Let’s Go, Pick Up the Pace

Yaz did a great job of getting in a young pitcher's head. Big baseball IQ on Yaz.

The pitch clock was the greatest thing baseball ever did.

It's fun listening to you actually love the game.

The nuance and depth of game within the game Jomboy breakdowns are incredible treasures.... So much to notice!

Houston Astros: “no yaz, you’re doing it all wrong” 🤦🏻‍♂️

These are great! Love the funny analysis
