Wally learned the Double switch from one of his former managers, Davey Johnson. It was cool to see him help an opposing coach or manager to work with the umpire.

@meerkat7406 6 месяцев назад

To me this shows a love of the game. He's sticking to the rules. Nice to be flexibe, but also respect that he he is telling the coach and ump how it's supposed to be done. Rave on Wally.

@jrn2121 6 месяцев назад

I fucking love Wally.

@BallparkHunter 11 лет назад

Great! They probably needed Wally to help call balls & strikes later on in the game.

@thelowmein9143 5 лет назад

Wally managing BOTH teams AND umpiring lol.

@playingforpeanuts 14 лет назад

@CokeMachineGlo - yeah, it's pretty crazy that the manager didn't know how to do a double switch. especially in a league with no DH.

@Taketheheat73 13 лет назад

@Stonecutter589 an independant league that oly lasted a year. wouldn't have lasted that long without wally!

@FanTube 9 лет назад

Can someone explain to me why Wally Backman isn't a major league manager? This guys awesome! lol

@dazedconfuzed6 8 лет назад

+Fan Tube (Doctor Who) He has been. Until they uncovered some of his past that they didn't like at least that's what I read.

@TampaJohn 7 лет назад

Fan Tube he was hired by the Diamondbacks very briefly until some things in his past came up. He's never managed a major league game.

@BlueshirtFan4Ever 6 лет назад

Fan Tube Eventually, he'll get his 2nd chance managing in MLB.

@Philth_E 6 лет назад

Really think so? Is he still active?

@fieldguy316 6 лет назад

hes coaching a team this season yes i just read an article its a 2nd year independent team

@robjontay5052 5 лет назад

I wish you guys could do this for our Long Island Ducks Wallys there now.

@dougthegreat1808 4 года назад

Love Wally. Just do a good job, work hard and he is your fan!

@darksideofthemoon3039 6 лет назад

I wanted to see the bunt

@ilovethe80sdude 13 лет назад

I remember Tony LaRussa, who managed the AL's White Sox and A's previously, messed up the first time he tried a double switch with the NL's Cardinals. The umpires didn't allow him to do it.

@tubelooker71 13 лет назад

Jackie used to coach at the St Paul Saints. He lived in the same appartment building as me.

@kevinbushracing58 4 года назад

So?

@TampaJohn 7 лет назад

There aren't many who know more about baseball then Wally. I hope some team overlooks his past and gives him a shot at a major league gig. I was hoping it was the Mets before they hired Terry Collins.

@OBESPRING1982 Год назад

Jackie should have told Wally, "Wally, as a former Met, you should know, BASEBOL have been BERRY BERRY good to me".

@playingforpeanuts 13 лет назад

@TheCHERUB181 - Yup. Independent.

@lonniecravens257 3 года назад

Wally should be in HOF!

@umpireva5440 3 года назад

Wally's absolutely right

@StevenTyler324 11 лет назад

Yes...

@matthewblum8687 6 лет назад

Backman is abrasive, but he knows his baseball...

@henrypullman4729 3 года назад

Do you think the catcher heard him tell the guy to bunt lol

@YoMike91 8 лет назад

omg! Wally didn't curse!

@ksengage014 14 лет назад

@bobmartin23 Wrong

@zZrEtRiBuTiOnZz 6 лет назад

Not only do I not pay any attention to professional sports, but I know nearly nothing about baseball besides the basics, yet all I seem to keep getting recommended from RU-vid is videos of some minor league coach. For whatever reason, I keep clicking them, so that isn't helping the situation either, lol. Also, after saying all that, I now find it kind of ironic I'm wearing a Phillies hat in my profile pic. 😂

@saltesta2562 4 года назад

Wally should be managing the Mets. Hands down.

@nicholasventura8742 2 года назад

Buck Showalter just used a double switch in the 10th!

@BarryJowers 6 лет назад

How do you get to be the manager of a baseball team without knowing the rules?

@The_yeffy1 5 лет назад

That other coach is Jackie Hernandez he won a WS with the Pirates in 70s. Most of the shitty independent leagues hire any ex MLB players in a hope to draw fans to come watch.

@jordanissport 4 года назад

How the HELL is that manager the manager at that level? Dude needs to be leading middle schoolers...

@jiveassturkey8849 4 года назад

This is independent minor league baseball. Pretty much the lowest level of pro baseball lol. These guys are probably only making like $20 a game.

@oma15 8 лет назад

''this is the shit I gotta deal with''

@gregoberlin6663 3 года назад

I understand the coach messing up the procedure but how does the umpire not have a clue?

@alanhess9306 2 года назад

The umpire knew the rule. Wally was helping out the opposing coach.

@scyanks7 10 лет назад

Inept independent league umps.

@alanhess9306 2 года назад

The umpire was not inept, he knew the rule. Wally was helping the opposing coach, not the umpire.

@gskessingerable 3 года назад

The Mets an other MLB teams have made a huge mistake by not giving this guy a managerial job. He's no nonsense and old school. His players would play hard for him and he could take an organization to the big dance. However, teams nowadays are more worried about political correctness instead of a straight shooter. If I was a MLB owner I'd call him up tomorrow and tell him that he's hired.

@Stonecutter589 14 лет назад

What kind of league is this that a manager and umpire don't know a double switch?

@alanhess9306 2 года назад

The umpire knew the rule. Wally was helping the opposing coach, not the umpire.

@orangetreegirly 13 лет назад

this frustrates me just listening to this

@joncarter4heels 13 лет назад

You are dissapointing me now Wally!!

@StevenTyler324 11 лет назад

How can you be able to umpire a professional game and not know what a double switch is??? That's Level 2 difficulty. Calling a boarder-line pitch is harder than understanding a double switch.

@alanhess9306 2 года назад

The umpire knew the rule, Wally was helping out the opposing coach.

@aimanjarrar4765 11 лет назад

LOL HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT A DOUBLE SWITCH IS

@benpursell7682 5 лет назад

This is embarrassing. It’s not that tough to figure out a double switch. How does an umpire need a coach to explain to him

@alanhess9306 2 года назад

The umpire knew the rule. Wally was helping the opposing coach, not the umpire.

@redsoxrok34 11 лет назад

I never even played little league and even I know how to do a double switch no problem. How is it that the opposing manager and home plate ump need it spelled out for them? You don't even have to play baseball or be a diehard fan, just watch an NL game once in a while and you know how a double-switch works. Even for a low-level league, to be an ump and be that ignorant of the rules is pathetic

@alanhess9306 2 года назад

The umpire knew the rule. Wally was helping the opposing coach, not the umpire.

@alexnuneznyc 11 лет назад

This is ridiculous sure he's a minor league umpire but even I know what and how the double switch operates in a game, maybe I could umpire games and I could make some cash

@GTOAviator 7 лет назад

I was thinking the same shit.

@jcar4lifemancity4life5 6 лет назад

You both probably could lol and do a lot better

@alanhess9306 2 года назад

The umpire knew the rule. Wally was helping the opposing coach, not the umpire.

@rylok 11 лет назад

I can't stop watching Wally and the Peanuts.

@JBatts41 13 лет назад

The Better Question how did that bunt turn out lol? It's pretty keen on how Wally used "the deception" to pass information.

@cdiaz55 6 лет назад

He loves teaching the game..

@JesusLopez-bx1nb 10 лет назад

What's the proper way to do a double switch. Yes you have to tell the home plate umpire what the double switch is, I just do not understand what he did wrong?

@bigjoe686659 8 лет назад

+Jesus Lopez he crossed the line and went to the mound first. on a double switch you have to go to the home plate umpire first. I think you can get ejected if you don't do it right

@jcar4lifemancity4life5 6 лет назад

bigjoe686659 yeah he technically could and should have for just walking to the mound without telling the ump
