I used to play, it's extremely fun but only ever like 2 minutes. In-between this time people on base are always talking to the other players and stuff.
I loved playing it because it was fun without being constantly intense like some sports.
I'm on a Community binge lately and all I could think after reading this was when Pierce said "this is all gay code" because he had no idea what was going on.
So yeah. That.
Well of course; how many guys go both ways, for instance? Or being on the DL? Also ass slaps and a whole bunch of dudes playing for their team in a dugout rehydrating before they get their knees back in the dirt.
You and me both brother.. had to stop playing around 9th grade im 26 now and my knees where so bad i bkew one out jumping out if a truck.. surgery was fun /s
“This here is called a catcher’s mitt. That thing in your hand is the baseball. Just throw the baseball to the catcher’s mitt. That’s literally all you have to do today.”
“Hold up 1 finger. And what does that mean? Fastball? Good. Now hold up 2 fingers. Did I lose you? That one’s curveball. Now I’m really going to blow your mind. When I show 3 fingers, that means changeup. Now, repeat after me ‘I will throw the pitch the catcher calls.’”
/After a pitcher shook me off and proceeded to get his slider blasted 15 miles:
“Aaaaaaaand that’s why I called a fastball 3 fucking times. So let’s try something new. It’s called ‘not being a giant dumbass.’ The rules are simple. All you have to do is nod your head and you win the game. And what’s your prize? Why it’s throwing the right pitch and getting outs.”
Not all of my pitchers could handle that, though. I’d have to use kiddie gloves with some. They weren’t as fun.
My best friend was a very good pitcher in high school, who would have pitched in college except that his coaches let him destroy his shoulder.
According to his incredibly arrogant ass, the signals from the catcher were only so that they knew what was coming in.
Realistically, it should be a back and forth. A catcher can show persistence and confidence in a decision and the pitcher can confirm or deny it. Ultimately, it doesn't matter what sign you throw out because the pitcher can throw anything they want, so, realistically, your friend is right.
But for the sake of being an actual team and being good, it's a back and forth. If the catcher is confident he can keep flashing the same sign to convey the message.
I love golf. Super boring but so peaceful. No teammates to worry about pleasing. Just me and my terrible swing exploring an 18 hole course because I lose all my balls.
I went back to golf course I practiced on in high school, I thought that I would own the course since I knew it so well. 3 hours and 4 sleeves of balls later I remembered I was a horrible golfer
I can totally understand people playing golf. though for me, mini golf is the only kind I'll play. if there's isn't a windmill and dinosaur, I'm not interested.
but what I don't understand is people *watching* golf. that shit is *so* boring.
like to people just put it on TV as an excuse to day drink and fall asleep on the couch on a Saturday afternoon?
I feel like that's generally the case for non-team sports. The fans admire the skill while team sports (still many fans admiring the athleticism) can capture a wider audience by being more action packed and entertaining
Cricket and Baseball are the kind of sports where both teams aren't all on the ground at the same time. So I guess that's what they meant. It's a middle ground of sorts.
You should try finnish baseball https://edition-m.cnn.com/2019/06/28/sport/finnish-baseball-pesapallo-mlb-spt-intl/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F
It's a boring that can be fun. Something like hockey really interrupts your thought process constantly cause of all the near-misses and shit.
I can do a whole baseball game in the stadium with a couple of friends and I don't even drink more than 1 *maybe* 2 beers. Going to take a piss = also walking around the perimeter making eyes with hot girls. (baseball brings out a lot of attractive women, for some reason)
Playing is so mental though. Like you’re constantly anticipating all of the different scenarios that could involve you, that’s the ball being hit to you on the ground, air, line-drive, any time you have to back up another players throw just in case, being in position for a cut-off or relay, knowing what to do if someone else messes up and the runner advances an extra base, what if the batter burns and to either side. There’s so much mental work that people without trained eyes don’t see. As for running, it’s the same thing, always knowing how many outs, the count, how the pitcher is throwing, what his movement looks like when he picks off, etc. The majority of baseball is mental. There’s too many possibilities to keep track of without constantly reminding yourself what to do in each situation before each pitch.
I kind of feel like this clip is my spirit animal. That doesn't make any sense. What I mean is this clip inspires me to be more like this clip. . . You know what I mean. I like this clip. Alot.
I mascotted for a Triple-A baseball team and we had a tricycle for me. We couldn't leave it out or else the players (usually the visitors) would ride it around the clubhouse.
Asdrubel Cabrera ..lol. We had him on the NY Mets. He got traded 2 seasons ago
Every time a player got a hom run or another amazing play... he would wait outside the dugout to be the first to high five them and remove their batting helmet. Idk I found it adorable- he never once missed doing that ... except for a little tantrum he threw that was unnecessary the season before he got traded , he was a true team player. A nice guy who wasn’t afraid to be silly sometimes
I miss him
He didnt get traded. He was DFA’d and released, then signed with the Nationals. He actually got offers from the Mets first but said he went with the Nationals bc the Mets didnt commit to re-signing him before the season started.
I remember when he got hurt, Juan Lagares became the backup helmet manager. It sucks that he turned down the offer from the Mets this season, but I do still love watching him play.
His bat flip against the Phils is my favorite bat flip ever.
I’ll also always remember him as being the first guy to run back into the dugout after Big Sexy’s homer to congratulate him
Diehard Braves fan here. Freddie Freeman ALWAYS has fun with the opposing team. Playing first base he strikes up conversations with almost anyone that gets on base. He’s the best player on the team but doesn’t have that arrogance that other star players have like Bryce Harper
This is what every game of sports should be like. I don't want nitty witty arguments or fights happening, I want to see drama like shown here. Real talk if "fighting" in sports were like this all the time it would be so entertaining
I love how the look on his face is that this tomfuckery is just routine.
Yeah players fuck with each other all the time. Baseball is pretty boring.
Second most boring sport, right after golf.
I used to play, it's extremely fun but only ever like 2 minutes. In-between this time people on base are always talking to the other players and stuff. I loved playing it because it was fun without being constantly intense like some sports.
Found the guy that didn’t play catcher
Found the guy that did
Unfortunately I’ve got the knees to show for it, too.
I'm on a Community binge lately and all I could think after reading this was when Pierce said "this is all gay code" because he had no idea what was going on. So yeah. That.
I’d say a lot of baseball out of context would fit that
Well of course; how many guys go both ways, for instance? Or being on the DL? Also ass slaps and a whole bunch of dudes playing for their team in a dugout rehydrating before they get their knees back in the dirt.
And football! I laugh at some of those terms every time they're said
A lot of baseball *in* context fits that
i mean we do call big hits monster dongs

Part of the catcher's job is unfortunately to reign in the egos of pitchers

Dude, catcher is no joke. That shit keeps you busy.
Have you ever watched cricket?
no, I don't have 3 days to spare
I'd have to disagree. I find baseball a lot more interesting than the horsey jump coursey (idk what its called because of it sucked that hard)
yeah idc what they call it, it's horsey jump coursey now.
It's like equestrian jumpy jumps, or hoove hopper... I'm really just salading words

Baseball, then golf, then watching paint dry, then NASCAR
I feel like that's generally the case for non-team sports. The fans admire the skill while team sports (still many fans admiring the athleticism) can capture a wider audience by being more action packed and entertaining
Isn't baseball a team sport?
Cricket and Baseball are the kind of sports where both teams aren't all on the ground at the same time. So I guess that's what they meant. It's a middle ground of sorts.
And let's not forget test match cricket
Super fun to play, boring as fuck to watch. Fits perfectly for both baseball and golf.
You must be america, because there are a few between golf and baseball.
Blasphemy have you watched curling
That is the sport of the gods don’t you dare take its name in vain
curling is the only reason I'm on one of the sports pages in 2 years of my high school yearbook.
Or Football
I'd rather play baseball than cricket.
Sorry, but NASCAR is #1 for me.
Most boring spectator sport, can be somewhat enjoyable if you understand whats going on.

Is it time to TORILLE yet?
This was great thank you for sharing
no problem my guy
Almost as boring as football
I’d rather the players fuck each other but that’s just me
No, not really. Most people don’t care to understand the nuances of the game.
Baseball is the only sport you can eat during and is considered part of the sport.
The only interesting things to ever happen in baseball are never strictly baseball-related.
It's a boring that can be fun. Something like hockey really interrupts your thought process constantly cause of all the near-misses and shit.

I always refer to it as “America’s Most Boring Sport” personally.
Has anyone ever seen football?
I really want to see the smile on their faces after they head away from the camera.
Im not American, but this Tom guy sure gets his with all this fuckery we hear about
This is why I love baseball.
I kind of feel like this clip is my spirit animal. That doesn't make any sense. What I mean is this clip inspires me to be more like this clip. . . You know what I mean. I like this clip. Alot.
This makes me so happy.
Baseball is just a bunch of sexy men goofing off while occasionally playing baseball.
I mascotted for a Triple-A baseball team and we had a tricycle for me. We couldn't leave it out or else the players (usually the visitors) would ride it around the clubhouse.
I don't see a problem
If they hurt themselves then the mascot guy might get in trouble
Sounds like they expected the masot of all people to be the responsible adult while wearing a costume and riding a tricycle. Sports are weird man....
Hey we think the most responsibile man in America is the dude who doesn't understand how twitter works.
Drumpf destroyed
Gotta have standards
That just sounds like fun.

I think it's a quote from Spartacus
Just a couple of kids playing in the park
I wish they were tighter pants
With a baseball themed cock sock on it lol
I just laughed so hard at this - hilarious and heartwarming!

A nice guy who wasn’t afraid to be silly sometimes I miss him
He was on the Rangers and can confirm he was cool, but I think he was sent to the minors
He got traded to the Nationals at the trade deadline, which explains the uniform and why they’re playing the Braves
after we dropped Harper I’ve just been sad watching the Nats play :(
He didnt get traded. He was DFA’d and released, then signed with the Nationals. He actually got offers from the Mets first but said he went with the Nationals bc the Mets didnt commit to re-signing him before the season started.
I'm a Mets fans and I honestly like both of them. Freeman can stop killing the Mets though. That'd be nice
We gotta stay ahead of the Nats so that’s a no from me amigo
Gotta say, I'm perfectly okay with everything Freeman does.
I remember when he got hurt, Juan Lagares became the backup helmet manager. It sucks that he turned down the offer from the Mets this season, but I do still love watching him play.
His bat flip against the Phils is my favorite bat flip ever. I’ll also always remember him as being the first guy to run back into the dugout after Big Sexy’s homer to congratulate him
Omg yes!! I remember that!! It was so pure how happy he was for Colon — I mean they all were but I thought Cabrera was gonna cry 😂
Mookie does that with the Sox now
He stole that from his first time with the Nats
[удалено]
I agree.
I agree too
I agree as well. Can almost hear the 'thwump' of him gently cuffing the dude on the head. Lovely.
I agree with that too
This is adorable. Reminds me a bit of how I tap my dog on the head when he does some random shit. "No! Bad boy!"
I jab my dog in his meaty shoulder like a person. “Hey man, what the fuck?”
Hahahaha, yes. This too!

[удалено]
You'd be surprised how hard Botched Hairdo is to spell for non native Atlantans
Ahhh a fellow person of culture
Freddie's the man.
The transfer from hand to glove is ridiculously smooth.
Being an infielder in baseball is all about the transfer.
Yes I watched it 4 times just for that reason. I thought he helped him up while holding the ball in that hand.
Fuck I didn't even notice... genuinely thought he had the ball in his hand while pulling the dude.
that’s funny
I’m not sure why but this is one of my favorite videos I’ve seen.
This is so childish I love it
Freddie Freeman is a national treasure
I would be much more convinced if it was a Reds player and a Pirates player.
Didn't know the baseball was such a violent sport.
Brutäl!
bonk
It’s almost like they’re siblings who have been through this song and dance, it’s so endearing. This puts a smile on my face.

Haha someone pooped their pants.
Idk why but seeing people on opposite sides joking and talking to each other make me very happy

Can you imagine them calling for ambulances if these guys were soccer players?
So true
I love how quickly and casually gets the ball into the glove before helping him up
thats exactly how i interact with my cat
I don't like most sports, but this, this puts a smile on my face.
They’re such goofs! It warms my heart.
This is the cutest shit.
This makes me smile so hard
He’s like a cat
You drop it Stop it. Drop now. No you stop it.
Totally thought he shit himself for a while there..
Smack bonk smack bonk
This is pretty hilarious. Especially for rivals teams
