Great Britain's baserunner barely touched second base, a breakdown

surprised I haven't seen. So, we got

Great Britain versus Mexico and Ian

Lewis Jr. up for Great Britain. He's

actually from the Bahamas, I believe.

This breakdown is brought to you by

Total Baseball World Baseball Classic

Edition. That's our podcast, our show

where we're covering the World Baseball

Classic. Go check it out because it's

awesome. They take the picture out. They

say, "That's it. You gave up a single,

you're done. They bring a new pitcher

in. He's got long hair, very straight.

He, thanks God, he drops the ball in his

glove. Now we've got Trace Thompson up,

smoldering, staring at him. First pitch,

swings right through it. Now the next

pitch, he's getting ready. They throw a

pickoff. The camera guy's late to

switch. And now our guy at first base is

hurt, Ian Lewis Jr., he got the he got

hit right in the arm. So that hurts.

It's an eventful trip around the bases.

We're going to get to the main thing

that I haven't seen, but I just got to

let you know how everything's unfolding

because his arm hurts and that's of

note. It's not really of note. It's not.

It was just kind of interesting. Next

pitch outside one and one count. The

1-1. A little hanging breaking ball type

thing. Hits it to left field and the

runner is going to go from first to

third on a ball to shallow left. That's

heart and hustle. He was running on the

pitch. Now they appeal that he missed

second base. Again, the camera operator

doesn't show us what's happening. They

call him out. We just know this from the

announcers and what's going on. And

they're like, "Wait, wait. What is safe?

I thought it was safe. I know the

sport." And he's saying, "No, I touched

it with my fingertips. I hope the

cameras are going to see it because I

know I touched it, but I didn't touch

second base with my feet. They're

correct there." So they say, "Okay,

let's challenge." Say, "Yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah. We believe our guy. I hope.

We're going to challenge it." Mexico's

like, "What are they challenging?" He

says, "No, come on. Let's take a look."

Hopefully it shows up because I swear it

touched. He's stealing on the pitch, so

he's going to slide into second base,

but he realizes the ball got hit. So,

he's got to pop up really quick before

the base as fast as he can and then he

touches the base with his fingers. I've

never seen that. The coach says, "HEY,

HE TOUCHED IT. HE touched it." He's

like, "Yep, he's pumped up." Yep, bro. I

swear I touched that bag. You seeing it,

right? I swear they c they got to see it

in the replay. And yeah, look. I mean,

just

fingertips. Kevin Coer movie. The

Guardian. Is that what it's called? He's

like nothing but his fingertips. Six

hours. I forget the line. It's dramatic.

Quote it below. I'll pin it maybe. HEY,

great job. Jazz Chisum before they even

make the call. Jazz Chisum who's up next

runner in third. He's like, I'm ready to

go. No one else is on the field at all.

And Jazz is just like, I'm going to get

ready for my app bat. Clearly, we got

fingertips all over the bag. After

review, the call on the field is

overturned.

Uh, yes. Good job. Thank you. So now

we've got a runner on third. They dumped

all their adrenaline. They got off the

field. The Rams heading out the right

field. They were ready to hit. They're

not ready for this. The fans got to

rally him back into action. Come on,

guys. Come on, guys. Let's go. He's

leading off third. It's two outs. We got

a 1-1 count. We got first and third. We

got Jazz up. We got a one count. Come

on. Give me a pitch to hit. Give me a

pitch to hit. Give me a pitch to drive.

We want it up. We want this fast ball

up. It's not that up. Jazz bolts it into

Duran's glove. So, ultimately, this

didn't amount to much, but I thought I'd

share it with you because I'd never seen

someone do a pop-up slide and just touch

the base with their fingertips like

that. You know, you've seen someone

touch it with their hands, but just by

the little fingertips. Anyway, Jose

McFly and the kid Mero have been doing

World Baseball Classic shows, recapping

the events. It's a lot of energy, just

like the World Baseball Classic. It's a

lot of fun. Check it out if you want to

tune in and find out what's going on and

be part of it. So carnival basically.
