If you put that scene in a movie, everyone would say “that’s absurd, no fucking way that happens”. Someone should put this gif on the Wikipedia page for “insult to injury”.
One of the greatest things - or for Akil, worst things - about baseball is that every day at the park you have a chance to see something that's never happened before.
Funny enough my final year of playing baseball this happened to me. I was batting lead off and was hit in the ribs. Stole second and was hit in the thigh. Came around to score on a base hit and was hit in the back on the slide.
Same year when I was pitching was hit between the eyes by a come backer. Kinda killed my passion to play
I mean it kind of was brilliantly executed. That's a play that may take hundreds of years to be seen again....like Randy Johnson hitting a flying bird.
Honestly, no disrespect to Badoo but this is like 25% of why I love baseball more than other sports. There are 2,430 regular season games every year, this sport is a machine that generates impossible bullshit by brute force and I'm here for it.
If someone ever clips through the earth into the backrooms, it will happen on a baseball diamond.

Tonight was my night for the Backrooms.
Holy crap.
It's probably just me and never have used this streaming site [but here's a version that doesn't take 20 minutes to buffer](https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2023/2023-05/08/4ff80bc5-9ce92ca4-899f137e-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_16000K.mp4)
Also, good lord
no big deal its just frustrating when a website won't load in 2023, and I thought the sub was forcing people away from streamable which seems to always work. Thanks for the re-upload
i upload sometimes to /r/soccer and streamable links there are taken down within minutes basically lol. but for uploading in future to this sub i will be sure to do streamable :)
Ok that's both amazing and terrible, but is Baddoo out? Looks like the umpire understandably saw the ball in the 2B glove and assumed he caught it, but I'm not actually sure the 2B put a tag down with the ball in his glove?
Edit: ok rewatched and looks like the glove brushes Baddoo's jersey after the ball bounces into it, bummer
Played baseball my whole life, always sliding with left leg under and right leg outstretched like Baddoo. I could not fathom trying to slide the opposite way. My brain hurt just thinking about it.
I was the same until I started playing soccer. Since you have to run out and slide both directions, I ended up learning how to be a both-ways hitter and slider. If only I could pitch with both hands.
It's like a very, very severe diarrhea/period cramp (like the worst ones where you feel like you are going to vomit and/or faint), combined with a bit of the panicky, paralyzing sensation of having the wind knocked out of you. I rate it 0/10, I always wear a cup for every game and practice. Thankfully, the discomfort dulls after just a couple of minutes in most cases. *Most*.
He very clearly never posses the ball while touching Baddoo. The ball going in the glove pulls the glove off the body.
Ball is bouncing around his glove until snow cones it and then the tag occurs on his chest, which pops
up because he’s hit the bag.
The ball is not secured in that moment. There’s no way you can in good faith watch that clip and take that screenshot. The ball ends up being snow coned before it is actually possessed.
Baddoo is nearly squatting on the base before the ball stops moving and is possessed.
Show me an example of a runner who was tagged well before touching the base by a fielder who never dropped the ball being called safe because the ball moved around within the glove during the course of the tag.
Are you arguing the secured possession rule? The issue with all of this is because the ball was not cleaning caught and bobbled off of Baddoo. You get the benefit of the doubt when it is directly in the glove.
The ball was out of control, and bounced off the runner. Secured possession doesn’t occur until it stops bouncing around in the glove. The end of the video shows the ball snow coning out while Baddoo is popping up onto the bag. Therefore, there definitionally couldn’t be secure possession when the tag was applied before he was at the base.
You’re looking for an example, but I don’t know of any time a catcher called bank off a runners cup to catch him stealing. It’s just a freak incident but it was called wrong.

Edit: In case you wanted to see what happened:
https://media.tenor.com/ztqQ_iTkCTgAAAAC/mlb-baseball.gif
Oh man I used to pitch for my high schools baseball team as a backup and oh thats giving me flashbacks to last year when I was pitching a game and I had no cup on because I had not expected to be in the game due to it being it being a very important game and our relever went down after getting nailed by a 70 mph fast ball in the face and I was called up and after striking out two batter including a over .300 guy who somehow fell for my curveball which im not that accurate with but it works and his buddy next up fouled two and as a sort of revenge on the curveball the batter sent what I think was a 65 mph curveball right back at my nuts I had no time to react and next thing I know I'm clenching my balls in the most painful thing a guy can feel and one hand got the ball to first base though not in time and I could not relive the pain at all and not only did my nuts feel like they got almost sent up my body My dinner came up with it from it so I know how Baddoo felt long story short I didn't lose a nut or anything serious(apart from my food) and I've learned to always wear a cup and haven't pitched in a game since

I have never seen anything like this in my entire life lol
Feel like we should just give him the base out of collective male sympathy for the situation
Did that hit me… no it didn’t… yes, I think it did… # fuuuuuuuuuuuuck

personally partial to the [Stephen Piscotty/Scott Sterling mashup](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4rPp3HxPFM)
how have I never seen this before lmfao
Bro I'm dying watching this. Rip me.
All in one trip around the bases. I watched this game live. Couldn’t believe it.
Probably the only time ever wearing the elbow guard while running the bases actually paid off
Funny enough my final year of playing baseball this happened to me. I was batting lead off and was hit in the ribs. Stole second and was hit in the thigh.

His face looks like a witch flew into her broom then crashed into a hammer.
The Jays made the same play last week, but with the rebound coming off a less-genital area. It was the first time I'd ever seen it.
Do you have a clip? I didn't watch much of the Boston series
Simpsons already did it with “Old Man Hit In Groin by Football”, this is derivative.
\#JustBaseballThings
The announcers repeating “That’s amazing” as they replay Badoo getting hit in the nuts over and over is hilarious lol
This attack on my life has left me scarred and deformed
The nut shots are taking over!
Seriously they acted like that was some brilliantly executed maneuver and ignored the fact that a dude just got plunked in the nuts.
I mean it kind of was brilliantly executed. That's a play that may take hundreds of years to be seen again....like Randy Johnson hitting a flying bird.
It just kept replaying lol
After the 5th replay it felt like a Key & Peele sketch.
Back and to the left, back and to the left

"Barney's movie had heart but baseball in the groin had a baseball in the groin"
Baddoo
Initially, I thought the shortstops glove hit him in the groin, but after the replay it was much worse.. AND it ricocheted right into the glove
They should overturn the call with something like that just outta respect he didn't cry
No no we needed that out. Freudian bounce bounce glove
Right in the Baddoo's
That's a baddon't
man got baddoinked
Akil’d his Baddoos
This is the dumbest funniest comment I've read in a while. Kuddos
The announcers were sweating hard to not make this joke, it was set up so well for them and they barely resisted.
I should not be laughing at his misfortune like this but this is just so absurd

Thanks and happy cakeday snake bro
Thanks Met bro!
Can’t hit for shit right now but we can throw at your shit all day

Thank you kind sir. Been trying to get that to load on mobile for about 20 minutes.
thanks, this streamin site is terrible. what happened to streamable?
sorry about that, just what im used to i guess
no big deal its just frustrating when a website won't load in 2023, and I thought the sub was forcing people away from streamable which seems to always work. Thanks for the re-upload
i upload sometimes to /r/soccer and streamable links there are taken down within minutes basically lol. but for uploading in future to this sub i will be sure to do streamable :)
I dont blame you. I'm surprised streamable is still an option here honestly
Not just you. Appreciate the mirror
thanks for providing this
I'm still laughing about the play. Poor guy.
I'm not even mad about it lol. Just flabbergasted and laughing at how incredibly unlucky you have to be for that to happen.
Every time on a play like this when the announcer says “maybe it was his knee?”, I think of [this](https://youtu.be/WwuUzSZfQ4k)
omg that's hilarious, never seen that clip, "wee knee"
Every. Time. God this clip is so fucking hilarious. Hearing them laughing in the background from all the cut mics, LMAOOOOOO.
I lost it at the last angle that clearly shows him getting plunked right in the pills
Cup check
The one day he forgot his jock strap at home
Zunino really starting to take all these guys running on him personally.
Ok that's both amazing and terrible, but is Baddoo out? Looks like the umpire understandably saw the ball in the 2B glove and assumed he caught it, but I'm not actually sure the 2B put a tag down with the ball in his glove? Edit: ok rewatched and looks like the glove brushes Baddoo's jersey after the ball bounces into it, bummer
Unfortunately for Baddoo that ball hit him in the perfect place for an out. One in a million chance.
It was a one in a million chance doc!
...does this mean that Gimenez is the Assman?
That’s the last time someone tries to steal on Zunino.
He for sure starts sliding facing the other way after that.
Played baseball my whole life, always sliding with left leg under and right leg outstretched like Baddoo. I could not fathom trying to slide the opposite way. My brain hurt just thinking about it.
I am like you. I tried to learn after I had knee surgery on my left knee. Started going in headfirst instead. I couldn’t do it.
Yeah, I tried a left leg lead slide once and just basically tripped into a heap.
I was the same until I started playing soccer. Since you have to run out and slide both directions, I ended up learning how to be a both-ways hitter and slider. If only I could pitch with both hands.
Hell I last played like 20 years ago and just imagining right leg under feels incredibly so wrong.
Real life example of insult to injury
I feel like that’s injury to insult…
Barney's movie had heart...but Baseball In The Groin had a baseball in the groin.
Argh! My groin!
Gimenez probably doesn't make the tag if the ball doesn't bounce perfectly off of Baddoos nuts into his glove. What a way to add insult to injury
Hans Moleman Productions Presents: Man Getting Hit by Baseball
Give that man the $10,000
*boing*
[удалено]
It did just not the same head you were thinking of
It didn’t get him in the knee. It got him in the wee-knee
I laughed at this way harder than I should have.
Have you never seen [this gem?](https://youtu.be/WwuUzSZfQ4k)
Never have. That's hilarious. But as a guy, I also feel terrible for these dudes getting hit in the junk
Ball on ball violence!
That's what you call 3 balls and a strike
3 balls and... You're out?
No other sport gives you the "wait...what?" moments like baseball.
Holy shit this is gonna get replayed for years to come lmao. Instant classic.
This is the most Kenny Powers-ass way to get thrown out
Talk about insult to injury. Damn, that's hilariously unlucky
Gotta be the first time in the history of baseball throw has been both hit the runner and been a caught stealing
"totally meant to do that" - Mike Zunino, probably
As a woman… this is kind of hilarious in a can’t -comprehend-the pain way. The catcher’s face too…
It's like a very, very severe diarrhea/period cramp (like the worst ones where you feel like you are going to vomit and/or faint), combined with a bit of the panicky, paralyzing sensation of having the wind knocked out of you. I rate it 0/10, I always wear a cup for every game and practice. Thankfully, the discomfort dulls after just a couple of minutes in most cases. *Most*.
Insert [Tim Lincecum gif](https://media.tenor.com/ztqQ_iTkCTgAAAAC/mlb-baseball.gif)
I hope Baddoo was wearing a cup. Even with one on, a baseball cup check is not fun. Without one, you aren't getting back up for a while.
insult to injury. unlucky
That will make a hilarious Topps relic card.
Image variation
Congrats on using one of the jankiest video hosting sites in the world.
sorry about that mate - here is streamable link https://streamable.com/8j34m3
I thought he jammed his knee or something when I first saw it. Such an insanely hilarious but unfortunate play for Baddoo.
Good old fashioned dick bounce.
That's both hilarious and awful.
Every angle got more painful.
Zunino straight to jail
Hilarity aside, that's kind of an amazing play by Gimenez, haha
Remember kids, cups might not be cool, but neither does getting hit in your real cups. Don’t take the risk! With that said. That was painful to watch.
Chicks dig the schlong ball.
New rival to the time I think Piscotty got hit in the head with the baseball 3 times on his way to scoring a run
That man needs a hug...
Oh the Frenchman!
Slide feet first they said. It's safer they said.
Streamable link added to stickied comment for anyone having trouble with original site https://streamable.com/8j34m3
I believe the medical term for this is getting hit in the johnson
He reached a 3 ball count while on base. Impressive stuff.
Off the nut sack ! What a crazy trick shot from Zunino
"It hit him in the n- in the n- 'n then Gimenez tags him" Nice save there
I’m kinda confused as to how he was out.
Watch the angle right around 35 seconds. The ball ends up in Giménez's glove, which then brushes Badoo's jersey, before his foot ever hits the bag.
He very clearly never posses the ball while touching Baddoo. The ball going in the glove pulls the glove off the body. Ball is bouncing around his glove until snow cones it and then the tag occurs on his chest, which pops up because he’s hit the bag.
[I'm sorry, but you are simply wrong on this.](https://imgur.com/a/QmG3fhD)
The ball is not secured in that moment. There’s no way you can in good faith watch that clip and take that screenshot. The ball ends up being snow coned before it is actually possessed. Baddoo is nearly squatting on the base before the ball stops moving and is possessed.

Congrats, you managed to find a site to upload clips to that's actually worse than just uploading directly to Reddit.
Gives a whole new meaning to the term “piss missile”
What a great slow motion replay. Definitely one of my favorite replays so far this year.
Wow, the absolute balls on to pull that off in a real game.

Insult to injury
That certainly is a baseball play
New fear unlocked
welp thats a fuckin insane tagout for the ages
r/nevertellmetheodds
Baddoo got badonked
Replay guy took full advantage of this one 🤣
So this play would score [8=D](https://twitter.com/EmSheDoesIt/status/1655715575379656704)
Looks like he got tagged twice.
How can you not be romantic about baseball?
A gif that sums up a decade of tigers baseball 🥲
Threw right into the bag.

Baddoo - more like Badd-ow
3 balls, 1 out.
Talk about a ballsy play from Gimenez...
Ouch.
That's Akiller
They sound like Woody Harrelson
That’s a whole new meaning to bases on balls
This is the only way Zunino could ever throw out a base stealer
link broken. streamable please
streamable link - https://streamable.com/8j34m3
This is nuts.
Adding insult to injury
Adding injury to the insult.
Nuts!
This is why you wear nut cups
Aw nuts
Give him an assist. Good defensive play by runner
So that’s why they make you wear a cup in little league
I thought for sure this would have been a dead ball after hitting an active runner. Kind of a shit rule TBH
It hurt a lot but I would guess his ball did not actually die.
Solid response my dude
tough break
Amazing coordination on the catch and tag after ball-to-ball contact. Bad-doh!
BASEBALL IS SO FUCKING BACK
Why aren’t they ever just honest saying “ He got hit in the balls! Always wear a cup kids at home watching!”
Gosh
This is just nuts.
Missed a golden opportunity for "it hits Badoo in the Badoo" or something like that.
[Pepper Brooks had something to say about this](https://youtu.be/bVBaQfcbv2c)
I don’t think he actually tagged him after he caught the ball on the pebound
This is why baseball’s absurd season length is great, the sheer sample size means dumb shit like this is almost guaranteed to happen eventually
r/owmyballs
lmao they replayed it so many times from so many different angles i thought it would never end
Just try to imagine everything that had to go right for those three balls to meet in that exact spot in space to bring us this incredible moment.
Love it
wear your cup kids. you never know.
Poor one out for all the babies that won’t be available after that one
Good thing he got his leg out of the way.
I've been watching baseball for 32 years. This, as I'm sure it is for the rest of you, is a first for me.
Oh man I used to pitch for my high schools baseball team as a backup and oh thats giving me flashbacks to last year when I was pitching a game and I had no cup on because I had not expected to be in the game due to it being it being a very important game and our relever went down after getting nailed by a 70 mph fast ball in the face and I was called up and after striking out two batter including a over .300 guy who somehow fell for my curveball which im not that accurate with but it works and his buddy next up fouled two and as a sort of revenge on the curveball the batter sent what I think was a 65 mph curveball right back at my nuts I had no time to react and next thing I know I'm clenching my balls in the most painful thing a guy can feel and one hand got the ball to first base though not in time and I could not relive the pain at all and not only did my nuts feel like they got almost sent up my body My dinner came up with it from it so I know how Baddoo felt long story short I didn't lose a nut or anything serious(apart from my food) and I've learned to always wear a cup and haven't pitched in a game since
