Bloopers and weird moments from 2021, a breakdown compilation

This video runs through a string of wild and awkward baseball moments that have nothing to do with the actual gameplay. It opens with a stray cat that invades a Dodgers game and turns into a scene straight out of a sitcom. The cat darts across the field, climbs into the stands, gets chased by frantic staff, and ends up making a break for it while a few fans and personnel miss attempts to catch it. Next up is the infamous sausage race where one of the participants pulls a hamstring and eats dirt trying to keep up. The video then moves into a tense Reds-Cubs clash. Amir Garrett talks some trash, then throws one pitch that gets hit deep enough to become a game-winner. Javy Báez flips his bat, mocks the earlier sweep, and celebrates like he hit a walk-off slam, while Garrett stays low-key.

The weirdness continues with a Diamondbacks fielder whose foot literally gets stuck in the outfield fence, allowing the batter to circle the bases for an inside-the-park home run. The guy tries to call time but the ump isn’t buying it. There’s a brief bit about Kyle Seager, his contract not being picked up, and a jab calling him overpaid that felt out of place. Later, chaos unfolds during another game when a ball hit to left field goes over the wall, but a loose bullpen door confuses everyone. The defense thinks it’s still in play, but bullpen guys know better and wave to signal home run. Replay confirms it. Finally, Madison Bumgarner delivers a short, deadpan postgame interview. He thanks the shadows in Atlanta for helping him pitch well, and then sarcastically thanks Rob Manfred for keeping doubleheaders to seven innings. No answers to any questions, just a quick mic drop. Classic MadBum.
