Full Transcript
Click timestamps to jump to that momentOne runner on first and that ball is
smoked to left field. It's going to be
over the fieldielder's head. Brought to
you by DraftKings. Toss it in. Relay it.
He's going home. The ball beats him.
He's tagged out. Umpire has the call.
He's out. Are they going to look at
safer out? Let's see. He rounds third.
The ball beats him by a good amount and
he's tagged. His right hand does hit the
plate. They look at where he was set up
before the ball comes and they say,
"He's safe because he was blocking the
plate." Now the manager of the other
team is yelling right away and the
umpire is going to run over and says,
"And you're gone." But he's frustrated
because they went up to review and he
said it's a dumb rule. The rule doesn't
make sense because as soon as he has the
ball, he can blocking the plate and the
ball's coming right to him and the guy's
over there. He's not in his way. He's
actually going to form a peaceful
protest here. He's going to have a sit
in on home plate. I'm not leaving. What
I gather he's saying is once he has the
ball, the catcher can sit on the damn
plate. Who cares? He's got the ball. And
then he's screaming some more. He's
saying, "Why am I ejected? Eject the
replay guy. Get him out of here." And
then he's going to kick dirt over home
plate. Home plate. I'm like, "Oh god."
Okay. He's going to draw plate over
there. The fans got upset. It's a big
important game. Only the top two
advance. He's cleaning up the garbage.
We're gonna get an 85 mile per hour like
slider or something here. And the batter
thinks he's throwing at him and the
umpire is actually gonna talk to him
like, "Come on, dude. You really going
to start stuff? Everyone's heated
enough. We just had a delay." And the
catcher's like, "Yeah, he's not throwing
at you, man." The batter turns his head
right there.
Like really, dude? Really? And then the
umpire calls time cuz he wants to stop
all this from happening. And catcher's
like, "No, I'm talking to him." Like,
"No, I'm talking to him." And the
umpire's like, "Yo, I told you not to
start anything and you're starting
stuff, so you're gone." That's a weird
sequence of events. And then we got is
that the third baseman runs in to get
him out of there, which leads to the
benches and everyone's just going to
clear out. That was weird. You warned.
And you guys over there, you warned.
