Manager intentionally walks hitter with bases loaded, a breakdown

that is a man who caught a foul ball and

instantly gave it to a girl or just a

woman behind him instant friend high

five baseball that's what it's all about

now the angels are gonna get in some

trouble but not on this play because

that's a nice play by squid up the

middle for the out

but then the 2-0 pitch goes down the

line into the corner is that gonna be a

double no it's played really well by the

caveman and holds him to a single so now

there's a runner on first for the

Rangers but the next batter we got

strike one on probably a ball strike two

on a foul ball oh no hit him right in

the elbow pad did not hurt him but hit

him

classic sound effect noise so they go

talk to the pitcher and they're like hey

don't be afraid just come at this guy so

he does he comes at him with a double

over the left Fielder's head that's

gonna score one run and put another

runner on second Angel's still in

trouble not their inning that's a little

flare into right field and the manager

says Hey catch go talk to him now I

didn't slow this down or edit this at

all this is live time the catcher goes

to talk to the pitcher if you're new to

baseball they're it's just a strategy to

give the warm-up the new picture that's

coming in more time to warm up so the

catcher usually says some nonsense this

time the catcher isn't even talking and

Joe Madden is just waiting and they're

just waiting

and no one's saying anything and Joe

Madden's whistling to himself and

nodding and they're just waiting usually

you wait for the Umpire to break this up

and then you go make your pitching

change just buying time goes on for a

long time they're just standing on the

mound and the catcher usually talks to

the pitcher somewhat but they're all

just standing around quiet finally he

looks at Joe like dude are you gonna

come get me out of this game or what are

you doing right here

he's like what's going on and Joe

Madden's like okay I guess the UMP isn't

gonna tell me that I have to uh ump are

you gonna like tell me I gotta make a

change he says okay I'll come out and

make the change man baseball's a slow

sport sometimes I was literally just a

stall tactic and it was so long so they

take this picture out of the game and

they bring in a new pitcher and he says

hey good job man you did great see you

later new pitcher comes in his name is

Austin Warren zero earned run so far

this season and that's a ball the next

pitch is a ball even worse a ball again

and a ball even worse four pitch walk

and now the bases are loaded and there's

a lefty coming up in Corey Seeger Joe

Madden goes to the mound to talk to his

pitcher and he has confirmed that while

he was out here he said hey we're gonna

intentionally walk this guy so you can

get the next two guys

he doesn't really have a reaction to

that information they're going to tell

the catcher and he's going to say I

think Joe Madden at one point here says

like blah blah blah he says okay you're

right and then the next two guys and

then those are your guys like welcome

and then those next two are your guys

the numbers don't support this and Joe

Madden admitted this as well the numbers

don't support this righty and a lefty

usually that means he's going to crush

him but Seeger's actually better against

lefties this year and they walk him and

they're down and Mike Trout's face is

like wait what huh the [ __ ] huh what

the [ __ ] and if you're a lot of people

watch breakdowns that don't watch

baseball if you're like what what do you

what does this all mean he intentionally

walked the batter you don't have to

throw the pitches anymore

and that spins a run around because the

bases were loaded they were already

losing three to two now this Runner

scores and it becomes four to two now

this has happened in Major League

Baseball before but usually it's when

the team is up a couple runs and there's

a huge threat at the plate like Barry

Bonds and they don't want him to get

multiple RBIs and score multiple runs

they're like we'll just let this dude

get one run and move on no one's ever

done it this early in the game

and at this score when they're losing

and you can see the runners are so

confused Simeon on first like where am I

going he's like yeah get moving dude you

guys scored a run the pitcher after it

happens it looks like now he looks into

the Dugout and he's like you

[ __ ] Madden that's a bad look

for me I don't realize how bad this was

gonna look and then Madden is sitting

there I think he says

I shouldn't have talked to him

I think I think that's what I shouldn't

have talked to him that's kind of what I

see right there another coach is like

yeah well you did and he's like yeah but

maybe I don't know that's what I read I

don't know if that's correct I do that

Seeger is over at first base and he's

like he knew the bases were full

he says something something let me work

a walk like let me work a walk if you're

gonna walk me to make me earn it I'm

just intentionally walk me

Madden said that this wasn't a numbers

move it was an emotional move the

emotions of the game determined it makes

no sense Madden just likes being talked

about for being a weirdo and doing new

and unique things so he did a new and

unique thing and it backfires

immediately because the next batter puts

one rule almost to the track and that

scores a run so now you've scored two

runs if your fear was at the batter hits

a single and two run score well now that

happened and if you're bad or was that

he hits a double and all three runs

score well that's about to happen next

and you'll never guess how so he's

starting to you know squirm a little bit

and now the pitcher box and the Umpire

calls and the other umpire calls it so

the runner on third goes home so now all

three runners have scored and it's a

complete backfire this is the buck he

moves his arm you can't do that unless

you do it like every single time while

you're on the rubber so Madden's gonna

have a lot of problems with this he goes

to the Umpire when he's getting mad at

him and he's like did you have to call

it he's like I have to I have to I have

to

Joe

I need to call a block you did not have

to call a balk right there it was to

deceive the runner was it to deceive the

runner does it deceive the runner was it

to deceive the runner

I'm just asking you a question was it to

deceive the runner

but was it to deceive the runner that's

my question and the Umpire starts giving

him an answer and Joe doesn't like it no

that's not the question no I'm asking

you was it to deceive the runner the um

says yeah could her deceive the runner

you thought that was to deceive the

runner right there yeah sure it could

have been come on John you're better

than that you're better than that John

you're better than that John so Madden

said all of two sentences that entire

time and maybe he's wound a little tight

because of something else because I mean

that's just a balk by the book and then

the next batter does

get out

pops out to the infield and that ends

the ending but all the runs that were on

base When Corey Seeger was up score in

the pitcher I think it sunk in like what

the hell was all that about and Joe

Madden turns to his assistant coach and

he said well uh doesn't matter now I

screwed up now a lot of people are

saying well they won the game show he

hits a home run and the Angels win the

game so it didn't backfire it's like

even Joe Madden admitted that this

backfired and there was no reason to do

it and you kind of just embarrass your

pitcher because you have no confidence

in him and

Joe Madden just

wants to be Joe Madden and he is so he

can't fault him for that thanks to

DraftKings for sponsoring his breakdown

appreciate them as always
