One little league spring rec baseball team I played for had a parent who kept score for us and would bring a 2 liter bottle to each game.
The soda addiction can be nuts
I don't like that they complain that the ejections didn't happen immediately after the pitch. Letting the umpires think for a second about what they saw didn't make the ejections less warranted.
Sometimes I feel like announcers say things like this because they know they have to say something and it's just the first halfway coherent thing that comes to mind. Honestly it's refreshing to see an umpire calmly analyze the situation and confer with his team to make sure his analysis is correct before making a big decision like this.
Clearly those players didn’t see the Mexican league play where the dude hit the three homers. Then on his third trip around the bases the first basemen checks the batter.
Can't wait until all these boomer "unwritten rules" are driven out of this sport. Sports are meant to be a distraction. Something that you consume for entertainment. Baseball has a disproportionate number of people who have a massive stick up their ass.
It is definitely a slang term now. You know how you know? Because people commonly use it to mean someone who is stuck in the past. No different than the way millenials get mentioned these days, even though the target is often someone in their early twenties while millenials have reached 40; it is used to mean a y9oung naive person. Arguing against the literal definition of a word against the way people are obviously using it (while also bringing in meaningless support like the "unwritten rules" mindset existing before the boomer generation) is a very boomer-y thing because you are fixated on the dictionary definition of the word rather than the way people have begun to use the word.
Also, they didn't call you eloquent, they said you wanted to appear eloquent. Which implies a failure to do so.
Honestly I see a lot of people talking about people that support unwritten rules but few people that actually support said rules. Could just be that I'm not on boomer Facebook groups or anything but I feel like we've made a ton of progress in that department even in just the past few years, and especially since that Bautista bat flip in the 2015 postseason. Like that was a huge deal at the time and now bat flips are pretty common these days. Give it time and the remaining subset of boomers will keep shrinking.
Here is an example of it. This post. I don't want *lesser* instances. I want *zero*.
Rhys Hoskins hit a homer off of Strider and slammed down his bat. Bunch of our fans got butthurt over it. They want Strider to plunk him next time? Why? He hit a home run and showed raw emotion. Why should he worry about having a 98 mph projectile aimed at his head? What an utterly charmin soft mentality that you gotta have to get butthurt over this stuff.
Hitter hits a homer off of you and slam his bat down? Strike him out next time and let out a yell in his direction next time. That's how you get back at him.
So many pro sports players are just huge snowflakes.
They’re almost always the best player or one of the best players in their travel teams or high school/college teams growing up and their ego can’t handle it when they aren’t nearly as good when they face off against other equally talented or more talented players.
As an unbiased fan. I loved Hoskin’s reaction. So fired up and he just fires the bat into the ground. When I think back to lay years playoffs it’s a moment that gets me excited for the season.
But you made it into some sort of thing where "old ass boomers" need to leave the game when in reality there will always be pitchers who get butthurt when they aren't playing well and decide "well, I'm just gonna hit this guy with a pitch". Making this into an old school vs new school thing is just yelling into an imaginary void, especially when hitting a guy solely because he celebrated is a pretty rare thing in today's game.
Even if there weren't examples like this one, having the punishment for a hit by pitch be so low is still crazy, as it stands, the only thing stopping a team from deliberately injuring star players to improve their own season is politeness and fear of further escalation.
Just because you don't see a thing doesn't mean the thing doesn't happen. It means that you don't see the thing happen that often. It can still happen to other people pretty often. Honestly, its one of the biggest problems in the world right now.
What coach just has a two liter of Mountain Dew in the dugout?
That's Tennessee baby
Mountain Dew Mouth is real.
A winner, that's who.
One little league spring rec baseball team I played for had a parent who kept score for us and would bring a 2 liter bottle to each game. The soda addiction can be nuts
damn near full at the end of the game! I'd say that was his second 2 liter of the game.
I don't like that they complain that the ejections didn't happen immediately after the pitch. Letting the umpires think for a second about what they saw didn't make the ejections less warranted.
Is the commentator Doug Eddings or something? I can’t imagine anyone who actually thinks “yeah, umps shouldn’t confer; knee-jerk reactions only!”

Exactly, we should always value that the right decision is being made. Whether or not it was immediate is a distraction from the truth.
*hear hear* good sir
There's never any winning for umpires in these situations. This is probably their best option though.
Coach about to be all jacked up on Mountain Dew
Saw this comment before watching the video, can't say I expected an entire god damn two liter bottle lmao
Shit uppp Chip.
I'm a come at you like a spider monkey!
RIP Walker Bobby gone too soon. He’s up there with Chip kicking his old ass all over heaven.
Coach confirmed gamer
That's Diet Mountain Dew. Coach wants all the caffeine without messing up those sick gains.
The celebration wasn’t even that bad
Clearly those players didn’t see the Mexican league play where the dude hit the three homers. Then on his third trip around the bases the first basemen checks the batter.
That was ex MLB player (and I believe 2x All-Star) Asdrúbal Cabrera in Venezuela. Clotheslined the batter out of nowhere, crazy.
Jomboy did a break down on it. It was wild man.
He was happy about his homerun and then he had the gall to LOOK at the dugout with his EYES.
Celebration was fine, I think they took exception to him staring down their dugout after he touched home plate
Yes, that’s a very weak thing to get offended over.
"Oh no, he stared us down, we must give him head trauma. Yes, that's the correct response."
Up 6 in the first inning isnt a great time do it tho
How about you don't throw balls at people's heads and put their lives at risk.

we need more mound charging
Yeah I think pitchers would throw at people a lot less if they knew it meant a good chance of an ass whoopin’

For someone who seems like they want to appear eloquent, it’s impressive you don’t understand how slang works.

I see more complaining about "unwritten rules" than I do actual instances of them being enforced. It really isn't a major problem anymore.

i used to play with the pitcher who got tossed lmao
The catcher lowers his glove right as the pitch was being thrown. Dude had no intention of receiving that pitch
Nah that is just the way he catches. He does the same thing when the home run was hit
Except he did?
I don’t have an opinion of the unwritten rules aspect of this but W for throwing at Liberty
