Click timestamps to jump to that momentYou know what? YOU CAN GET THE HELL OUT
OF HERE, TOO, Donnie.
YOU GOT to be kidding me.
Hey, LOCK IT THE [ __ ] IN.
LOCK IT THE [ __ ] IN. HIM, TOO.
YOU [ __ ] SUCK. WOW. HEATED. What
brought them to this moment? What
brought them to such anger? Let's take a
look. This breakdown is brought to you
by Nitsa Skins is pitching. It's a tie
game in the bottom of the six. There's
two on 02 count. This is the big one.
This is the one that got EVERY MAN. OH,
HE called no swing on that. Should have
been a strike out. Oh, even the batter
is like, "Oh, thank you. Appreciate it."
Cuz that's that's that's a swing. That's
a pretty big swing. He's like, "Nah,
nah, I didn't see anything. I wasn't
even watching." The at bat continues and
he continues just foul pitches off, foul
pitches off and then he takes this one
which is a little devastating because
the tunneling on that pitch is
unbelievable. Look at this. But he knew
that wasn't breaking into the zone and
it was break or he got lucky. I don't
know that is crazy cuz skins can really
tunnel and then bat to ball puts it in
play. Pirates wanted a strike out
instead throws more pitches. They push
across the go-ahad run. They're
sprinkling. They're firing everywhere.
Coaching staff is mad for Pittsburgh.
The inning continues. Skines had to come
out. New pitcher comes in. It's three to
one now and we're going to get a double
play, but the fourth run scores. So, the
inning is just keeping to get worse. And
they are upset about that no swing call
from earlier. Skins is out of the game.
And we keep going. Now there's two outs.
We're still in the bottom of the sixth
and we've got a foul ball 01. And then
we've got a pitch and tap tap tap tap
tap tap tap tap tap. Didn't see it.
Didn't see it. He's like, "Uh, yo, hey,
hey, I tapped. I tapped. I tapped." And
he's like, "Oh, dude, I didn't hear
you." Okay, but we'll give it to you.
He's like, "Oh." He did he tap? Checks
with the field dumps. They say yes. He
goes, "Okay, good. Thumbs up. We're
going to give it to him." Catcher's
like, "All right." Dugout is still
yelling at him. You can see him turn
here to say, "All right, stop." Maybe
they don't realize they're he's giving
it to him. Him and the catcher, they
have a cordial exchange like, "Sorry, I
didn't hear you. You got to make sure I
can hear you. Catcher's like, "That's my
bad." But they are giving it to him.
Didn't stop the dugout from continuing
to yell. And finally, umpire turns
around and just says, "HEY, GET THE [ __ ]
OUT of here. Get the hell out of here."
Who?
ME. YES, YOU. YEAH, YOU. GET OUT OF
HERE. LOCK IT THE [ __ ] IN. I DON'T CARE
WHAT YOU SAID. GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
THAT'S on you, too. pointing at the
third base umpire saying, "We're mad
because of you. This has escalated
because of your bad call. LOCK IT THE
[ __ ] IN HIM, TOO. YOU [ __ ] SUCK. GO.
I don't care. Get the hell out of here.
LOCK IT THE [ __ ] IN. Staring daggers at
I'll stare right back at you. Huh?
You're out. [ __ ]
Fuck." Just nice parting words.
>> Catcher challenging the ball called.
>> So they do challenge it and
>> calls overturned. This bird has two
remaining.
>> They get the call right. So, you know,
they're really angry about the other
check swing still and just finding any
excuse to get mad at it. And we've got
another check swing call and another.
Nope. He didn't go. Says you both missed
one. How about that? No. No, that's not
true. You missed one and he missed one.
Hey, you know what? What? We're not
doing this anymore.
Leave him alone.
THEN CALL IT RIGHT. Then call it right.
HE DIDN'T GO.
KNOCK IT OFF. YEAH, CALL IT [ __ ]
RIGHT. HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT? You can get
the hell out of here, too, Donnie. Oh,
okay. Well, no. I'm going to come to
you. We're not playing this game.
You're not going to yell at him, then
yell at me, then yell at him. Not going
to happen. THEN GET THE [ __ ] CALLS
RIGHT. Then make the [ __ ] calls
right. You didn't call the [ __ ] check
swing. He didn't call the [ __ ] check
swing. He didn't call the [ __ ] check.
>> You're not going to [ __ ] just keep
yelling at us every single [ __ ] time.
He's got it wrong. He didn't call it.
You're not caught. He's getting it
wrong. It's a full [ __ ] swing.
>> Okay.
>> You made your [ __ ] point. I let you
stay. I let you [ __ ] STAY OVER THERE.
>> WHY? HE'S THE ONE that missed that one
and he missed the one before.
Fine. Fine. YOU GOT TO BE [ __ ] ME
fine every single [ __ ] time.
Every time. I don't know how many times
it's happened, but every time they got
it wrong. But did they get the second
one wrong? They definitely got the first
one wrong. He got the strike call wrong,
but the challenge system overturned it.
Here's the second one. And I I don't
know. I think they're just using it as a
launching pad because they're mad. Feel
like that's fine. That's a good call.
Fine. That's fine. That's a fine call.
Inning continues. Ball two. Two- two
pitch strikes him out. That ends it. But
they did lose the lead. They did lose a
coach. They did lose a manager. They did
lose Paul Skeen. So, three people left
that game. Couldn't come back in. You
think a ticket for not wearing your
seatelt is the worst that can happen.
And then you get in an accident.
Suddenly, the ticket isn't that bad. So,
click it or ticket. Paid for by Nitsa.
