Tucker tries to steal home during tech malfunction, a breakdown

Two outs. Bregman up. First pitch was a strike. Just looking for that last out. 88 mile per hour

changeup. Bregman absolutely slams it off the Crawford boxes with a facing of the Crawford

boxes. That's going to score two runs. They're going crazy in Houston. These two guys are lined

up for a perfect high five. Guy in the middle doesn't realize he's not part of it. Thinks he's

part of it. Gets boxed out but then gets picked up by his buddy and says, I got you too. We're

happy in Houston.

Houston. Seve still in a jam. Two in scoring position. Two outs. He's got Gurriel up and he's

having problems with the pitch calm now. He can't hear what the catcher's putting down and if you

haven't watched a lot of baseball this year, this is new technology. So the catcher is hitting

buttons on his knee and the pitcher has a little microphone in his hat. It looks like this. That's

what's on the catcher's knee and he has a guide. So there you go. So number one would be a four-seam

fastball.

Number two would be a curve slider and you can change these to whatever you want. You hit it

once. So say I hit five once. That means I want to sinker and then I hit nine next. That means I want

to sinker low and outside. It's kind of how it works. You can customize the voice but you or you

can have a robot or you can have your teammates. So it would be like thinker outside. Shit like

that. Anyway, they're having problems with it. Seve can't hear. He's going to step off the mound

and be like, I can't hear what you're doing. It's not fun.

Gurriel says, okay, do what you got to do, dude. So he takes the little piece out of his ear and

he's trying to listen. Can I hear it? Can I hear it? Tucker sees this. He takes off for home. Seve

says, you're out, dude. I wasn't that distracted. I rope-a-doped you. I could hear it perfectly the

whole time. Tucker feels like a fool. Seve says, that was easy. Easiest jam escape I've ever had.

Walks into the dugout. Backup catcher Higashioka gives him a big old thumbs up. Hey, great job,

man.

Look at that. I love the dismount of the little thing. So it's in his hands. Just tosses it aside.

No care in the world. Grabs the ball out of the glove. I think a lot of players might get

butterfingers there. And it was still a close play. You got to throw that and you got to fumble for the

ball. Get a good grip on it. Make sure you throw it to your catcher. And then your catcher's got

to block the plate. And look at Seve looking like, why the fuck would you do that, dude?

You were in scoring position. You had another guy up. Trevino. It's,

again, Severino to Trevino. That's the catching, the battery. He boxes out Tucker's left hand

perfectly. Kind of steps on it. I don't think he means to do that, obviously. You see him. He has

the ball. Once you have the ball, you can block the lane to the plate. That's the new rule. And

that foot blocks that left hand from reaching. And then he lays the tag down before the right

hand can reach. Bam. So it is a well-executed play. I think probably, I'd say six out of 10 times.

No, I'm going.

Five out of 10 times Tucker might be safe on this play. He was out here, but not according to this

guy. Safe, he said. Not a good view. Worse view than the ump. Looking at his hand. He's like,

oh, he stepped on my hand. Look at that. Look at his hand on the backside. A little cleat mark.

A little damage. The Astros did go on to win this game. It was very close. Seve, though,

had a good start. So this saved his numbers on the year. He's having a really good year. Tucker,

also a good year. Astros, good year. Yankees, good year.

Thank you to DraftKings for sponsoring this video. Something happened that has never happened

before in baseball. No one's ever stepped off the mound because they can't hear the robot voice in

their head. And then the runner tries to take advantage of that, but he gets got. It's brand

new.
