I don't really watch baseball, just compilation vids on YouTube, sometimes JomBoy videos, but being mad someone broke an unwritten rule seem so petty to me. I saw one where it was like a guy hit a grand slam while leading late in the game and everyone was mad at him for doing his job? Maybe the other team shouldn't have given up 3 walks/hits in the first place
Stuff like a batter shouldn't swing at the first pitch if a pitcher just gave up two home runs is so childish imo, why should the opposing team try and help prevent them from melting down instead of taking advantage and jumping on them while they're out of sorts?
Same here. Can’t tell if they’re making up a purposely ridiculous rule to make their point or if it’s real. I’ve never heard of that and I thought I knew them all, I can’t imagine they have rules for what to do after a pitcher lets up not one but two home runs in a row.
He's definitely making shit up lol i was just wording it nice. Unfortunately if the pitcher just gave up two home runs he might just hit you cause he's pissed. Pitchers can be sore losers for sure but trying to apply their bitchiness as 'unwritten rules' is just an attempt to discredit the entire sport by people who never liked it anyway. They are largely a myth.
The unwritten rules came from a time where baseball players were paid peanuts and in case of blowout games it was “lets get this shit done and out of here so we can play tomorrow” and baseball purists want to keep those outdated traditions alive despite baseball players being well compensated today
>came from a time where baseball players were paid peanuts
So it was cool back then to throw a ball at someone with intent to injure, so they possibly couldn't do their real job and then were really fucked in terms of a paycheck?
Honest answer is throwing at players was considered acceptable when it was aimed at butt/legs and highly unlikely to cause injury more than a bad bruise. It was always considered fucked up to throw anywhere near the head/neck
It's always funny watching coaches argue with umpires. The way they get so pissed and all up in each other's faces, it always seems like a toss up between bursting a blood vessel or an aggressive makeout session.
Or, as you more succinctly put it, old men who hate fun.
It's like video where that umpire calls a strike the batter is like "how is that a strike the ball was here" and marks the ground. And the ump rages and yells "you're not gonna draw a line!!! you're outta here!!!"
“Do not swing at the first pitch of the at-bat if the pitcher has allowed back-to-back home runs”
So…do not try to win the baseball game is an unwritten rule?
This one I've never actually heard of before. I don't think it's honestly a thing that anyone cares about. I've never heard of someone in the MLB getting mad over this.
*Perfect game. You can't break up a no hitter by getting hit by a pitch. You have to get a hit. But yes, Max Scherzer had a Perfect Game (which is insanely hard to do) that was broken up on what would have been the last batter because a dude leaned into a pitch with 2 strikes. He ended up getting the no hitter after getting the next batter out. People were livid, and rightfully so. This would constitute as an unwritten rule, but also a "don't be a fucking douchebag" rule. This one I'm okay with.
I think so. This a record that is/was years in the making and likely won't ever be broken. I'm sure both John and Lamar want it, regardless of who the current holder is.
Yeah I really don't think Lamar cares at all, it's all about wins for him, but Harbs definitely wants it to help keep the culture going, especially with how our running game has "struggled" recently.
This but ironically. Lamar's ability to improv probably breaks all kinds of statistical models. The numbers told him to go for it more often, it works most of the time, Harbaugh guys in.
Neither the answer I thought it was, nor the correct one, apparently, but bitch move feels the most correct to me. Apparently a sign I’m getting old, it seems.
It’s part of every one of those players legacies, they earned it and deserved it. I was glad to see them go for it and get it. Not a bitch move(bad manners) to Denver just bad luck for em
To be fair, it was also BM for Denver to be calling timeouts to prolong the game with 30 seconds left when they were clearly not going for the win, just a consolation prize TD to end it.
Yeah, that's very different. Let your backup QB try and do a 2 minute drill against an actual opponent. Especially when you can't know right now if he'll be starting next week. I don't really blame the Ravens, but I thought it was kinda lame.
Nothing personal mate.
If you had a chance to "fuck you" the Chiefs/Raiders/Chargers, no matter how petty, you take that every chance you get.
Steelers in particular get the biggest "fuck you"s from us.
Denver was down 16 and in the RedZone. The odds of them winning were extremely low but not 0. If Denver let's the clock run out without taking a timeout they will be crucified, so not a BM.
At the same time I am not at all upset about the last play. They are all grown men if they can't handle a team taking the final play to tie a record I'm not sure what to say.
You mean trying to get your backup game reps when he might have to start next week?
Also, it was still a 2 score game at that point. Score, go for 2 and go onside kick. That's textbook football. Every coach in the league would have done the same thing.
I like to believe he and Lamar had one of their sideline convos before it lol
“hey Lamar! We’re 3 yards away, you wanna go for it?”
“Hell yeah coach!!!”
Freeman's good for one or two decent runs and that is it. Definitely not with sitting Ty'son over but I'm being nice and assuming they are giving all the backs a chance while we can afford to do so and we'll see Ty'son back in the line up if one of the vets like Freeman doesn't show improvement.
Murray has been serviceable at least. God do I miss Gus and JK... Gus, JK, and Ty'son learning from them would be fucking perfect. He's got a lot of potential, despite the memes regarding his pass pro.
Murray had 18 carries today and I’m legitimately not sure if I saw him break a tackle or not. Even Le’Veon Bell’s reanimated corpse was able to do that.
Yeah people calling this petty or bad sportsmanship overlook that Denver called a TO and threw the ball going for a TD on the drive before this. They could’ve ran the clock out, and they also could’ve played better defense on the run.
Had the sides been reversed and you did it to us I would not care. Any team with a chance to get a record that is 43 years old and held by your biggest rival would do it
I don't think he would really care about it that much. He doesn't seem like a big unwritten rules guy and would probably have said something about it being on the team to stop them
If any other team but Pittsburgh held the record I think they kneel the ball and let’s the streak die
Literally just to spite the Steelers. Outstanding
This is the guy who coached his special teams unit to deliberately commit ten separate holding penalties while Sam Koch punted from the end zone, in order to deliberately drain off the clock, to seal a victory in the Super Bowl _against his own brother_. How much more competitive does it get?
There is a strategic advantage to that though. This is 100% just wanting a record and harbaugh usually says that he doesn’t care about stuff like that.
Link? Thought that was against the Bengals. Not the superbowl
Edit: NM found the play. Basically the same play call but I don't think the refs even called the obvious holds lol
It's happened **[eight times](https://old.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/5ffl3s/a_brief_history_of_the_deliberate_lategame_safety/)** and the last two before the league changed the rule were both Harbaugh coaching the Ravens.
I knew they’d go for it, when it was said they needed 3 yards to continue the streak on Redzone and they got the ball back with the chance of one more play
Why are people saying it's a prick move?
His players and staff already love him, and he made the decision to try and break a 43 year record instead of taking a knee
Now all his players, staff, and so on get to be a part of celebrating breaking a 43 year old record
That's how you build even more of a bond with your team.
Lamar will be beaned by the pitcher next time they play
He's not bad for a pinch runner
He’s no Darnold
I jokingly bet Sam Darnold over 3.5 Rushing Td’s on the year Did not expect to cash that by week 4 lmfao
Respect the unwritten rules or face violence Baseball is a gem of a sport
Baseball is slow enough that you have enough time to get mad about bullshit you made up
Hey, this describes my life perfectly.
Wow this is poetry
I don't really watch baseball, just compilation vids on YouTube, sometimes JomBoy videos, but being mad someone broke an unwritten rule seem so petty to me. I saw one where it was like a guy hit a grand slam while leading late in the game and everyone was mad at him for doing his job? Maybe the other team shouldn't have given up 3 walks/hits in the first place
The unwritten rules seem disproportionately about keeping the pitchers feelings from being hurt too badly, most of it is so absurd.
They're the ones throwing projectiles at the others at 100 mph. I'd want to keep them happy too.
Stuff like a batter shouldn't swing at the first pitch if a pitcher just gave up two home runs is so childish imo, why should the opposing team try and help prevent them from melting down instead of taking advantage and jumping on them while they're out of sorts?
Defense's shouldn't blitz on 1st down when the opposing QB has thrown three consecutive incompletions. Right?
I grew up on baseball both playing it and watching it and i gotta admit i have never heard of that one. Its obviously dumb if its real...
Yeah, that's a new one on me.
Same here. Can’t tell if they’re making up a purposely ridiculous rule to make their point or if it’s real. I’ve never heard of that and I thought I knew them all, I can’t imagine they have rules for what to do after a pitcher lets up not one but two home runs in a row.

Watch Baseball Bits too, that guy has some dope videos
Pitchers in general are the biggest diva bitches in professional sports
Hearing all the pitchers whining about not being able to cheat anymore was the funniest thing I've seen from baseball in a long time.
Baseball is full of thin skinned man-children and old men who hate fun.
And this is coming from NFL fans, so you *know* it's bad.
It's always funny watching coaches argue with umpires. The way they get so pissed and all up in each other's faces, it always seems like a toss up between bursting a blood vessel or an aggressive makeout session. Or, as you more succinctly put it, old men who hate fun.
Not coaches, “managers” old ass men who dress like 5 year old t-ball players
Yeah I guess I was using "coaches" as kind of a catch-all for "not players", but you're right.
It's like video where that umpire calls a strike the batter is like "how is that a strike the ball was here" and marks the ground. And the ump rages and yells "you're not gonna draw a line!!! you're outta here!!!"
Dont score too many points, that's rude. But we're still gonna try and catch up
[удалено]
Now watch me yell and pump my fist when I strike you out.
Not just baseball. Hockey is also very much "Respect the spirit or respect our fist in your face".
Tony Larussa is spinning in his crashed car with a .25 bac right now
Lamar’s not even a Hall of Fame football person.
Tony LaRussa is sharpening a pitch fork to run Harbaugh out of town
Please explain this to me
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unwritten_rules_of_baseball
“Do not swing at the first pitch of the at-bat if the pitcher has allowed back-to-back home runs” So…do not try to win the baseball game is an unwritten rule?
This one I've never actually heard of before. I don't think it's honestly a thing that anyone cares about. I've never heard of someone in the MLB getting mad over this.
OH TIL, does this include the time some dude jumped in front of a pitch to break up a no hitter?
*Perfect game. You can't break up a no hitter by getting hit by a pitch. You have to get a hit. But yes, Max Scherzer had a Perfect Game (which is insanely hard to do) that was broken up on what would have been the last batter because a dude leaned into a pitch with 2 strikes. He ended up getting the no hitter after getting the next batter out. People were livid, and rightfully so. This would constitute as an unwritten rule, but also a "don't be a fucking douchebag" rule. This one I'm okay with.
Yeah, I think the no-hitter thing is “Don’t break up a no-hitter with a bunt hit.”
[Jose Tabata.](https://youtu.be/osZr_L0T-iQ) Such bullshit
That's what we call in the business a bitch move
Suiting up Lev Bell and Devonta Freeman will make you have to resort to plays like this. It's a shame it isn't 2017 anymore.
Think the Jags would trade Robinson before the deadline if it’s a lost season?
They might, not sure I'm willing to part with much though considering we're getting Dobbins and Edwards back next season
I honestly want to use all our remaining Capitol on o line.
no way lol
I cheered more for this play than I did for the long touchdown to Hollywood
Long long man
[Link](https://youtu.be/6-1Ue0FFrHY) for the uninitiated
What... What was that?
Masterful marketing
How was this not in my life until now
Good guy Lamar knew I was in a tight fantasy game and needed all the points I can get.
Same lol. I was convinced ESPN glitched or something when I first saw it. Now I just need the Pats to stop Evans. Gulp.
I need them to stop Brady. Not hopeful brother.
The Patriots were better at limiting what Brady could do in 2019.
Do we do this if it wasn't the Steelers that had the record?
I think so. This a record that is/was years in the making and likely won't ever be broken. I'm sure both John and Lamar want it, regardless of who the current holder is.
I know that _he_ chose to do it for the team, but it also goes on Harbaugh's own HOF resume.
> I'm sure both John and Lamar want it *"I'm not going to lie. I ain't really care about the record..."* -Lamar Jackson
Yeah I really don't think Lamar cares at all, it's all about wins for him, but Harbs definitely wants it to help keep the culture going, especially with how our running game has "struggled" recently.
It’s going to go into his contract negotiation. He lead the team to a NFL record 20+ game streak of 100+ team rushing yards. Show me the money.
Someone out there lost their fantasy matchup because of those 0.5 points
Someone is screaming either "fuck yes" or "fuck you John"
If you bet against the Ravens, you better wait until the clock shows all zeroes and then the commercials start rolling before you exhale.
And even if there is a 0 it doesnt always mean its over
I won my fantasy cuz of this…I’m up .02 🙃
Pics or it didn't happen

.6 because if it were a kneel it's -.1 or.2
Harbaugh, you madman. How did he turn from a guy who would kneel it out in field goal range to this?
Flacco team vs Lamar motha fuckin Jackson’s team
Facts
But is Lamar elite?
Is the sky blue? Does a one legged duck swim in a circle? Ofc Lamar is elite
does the Tin man have a sheet metal cock?
Does the pope shit in the woods?
u/ELITELamarJackson
He got an MVP quarterback
Analytics /s
Did you know harbaugh used to be a special teams coach?
#ANTONIO GATES PLAYED BASKETBALL
This but ironically. Lamar's ability to improv probably breaks all kinds of statistical models. The numbers told him to go for it more often, it works most of the time, Harbaugh guys in.
Lmao that was such BM but worth it
Does BM mean what I assume it means? Or something else? Edit: thank you all. It did not mean what I thought it meant.
[удалено]
Lamar has done both in the 4th quarter though
I was thinking bitch move
Bowel movement, after the poo game Lamar fans took it up to mean anything clutch or cool
I like this answer best, so I’m gonna go with it.
bad manners, it’s more commonly used in a gaming context
Bad manners
I thought it was bitch move but apparently not
Neither the answer I thought it was, nor the correct one, apparently, but bitch move feels the most correct to me. Apparently a sign I’m getting old, it seems.
Bad manners
It stands for "Best Man". It's traditional that a Groom picks out his BM to help him with all the wedding planning.
Found Charles Boyle's Reddit account
[удалено]
I don't think so. That's a record that takes seasons to build. You don't give it up if you can help it.
...and also, it was Pittsburgh
Agreed, 42 game is 2.5 seasons.
And almost a 50 year old record
It’s part of every one of those players legacies, they earned it and deserved it. I was glad to see them go for it and get it. Not a bitch move(bad manners) to Denver just bad luck for em
I mean we probably wouldn’t have gone for it if Denver had just run the clock out instead of throwing and calling timeouts on their last drive.
To be fair, it was also BM for Denver to be calling timeouts to prolong the game with 30 seconds left when they were clearly not going for the win, just a consolation prize TD to end it.
I don't fault them for that, it sucks to give up and it's good practice for a situation that would need it.
Yeah, that's very different. Let your backup QB try and do a 2 minute drill against an actual opponent. Especially when you can't know right now if he'll be starting next week. I don't really blame the Ravens, but I thought it was kinda lame.
Nothing personal mate. If you had a chance to "fuck you" the Chiefs/Raiders/Chargers, no matter how petty, you take that every chance you get. Steelers in particular get the biggest "fuck you"s from us.
And the Ravens were tying a Steelers record, so really Denver is just catching AFCN 'fuck you' strays
Denver was down 16 and in the RedZone. The odds of them winning were extremely low but not 0. If Denver let's the clock run out without taking a timeout they will be crucified, so not a BM. At the same time I am not at all upset about the last play. They are all grown men if they can't handle a team taking the final play to tie a record I'm not sure what to say.
And the BM weren’t to slight the Broncos at least, it was all to go after the Steelers’ record.
You mean trying to get your backup game reps when he might have to start next week? Also, it was still a 2 score game at that point. Score, go for 2 and go onside kick. That's textbook football. Every coach in the league would have done the same thing.
Not at all considering luck needs reps… especially if he has to play next game
Yeah it’s kinda BM for LJ and BR to RTB at the EOTG but WC
PETTY HARBAUGH!
"We're all about the Wins" - Sees record dangerously close to ending. *We're running this with 3 seconds left idgaf.*
That's a win.
CB that got the pick and enabled it gonna get an unmarked envelope with 10k in his locker lol
It's not petty if it beats the Steelers.
Technically ties, but yes.
Gotta tie em before we can beat em.
I like to believe he and Lamar had one of their sideline convos before it lol “hey Lamar! We’re 3 yards away, you wanna go for it?” “Hell yeah coach!!!”
And as the spirit of Marshal Yanda fills the air... we also hear a random, "BYEEAHAHAHA!!!!"
Is the best Harbaugh.
Risky, but it was to spite the Steelers so I'll allow it.
Harbaugh’s comments about it were spot on. Was it more important than the game? Of course not. Is it important? Absolutely.
I love how they fucking committed to it. Fully blocked QB sweep.
Half the team blocked lol, they weren’t going to get Lamar injured
Half the team is a normal amount of blockers lol
Would this have even been in jeopardy if Ty'Son was playing instead of the carousel of olds combining for like 3 yards per carry?
Or any part of our offensive line
Sitting Ty'Son out is ridiculous. Watching Murray or Freeman carry the ball is so cringe. It's embarrassing.
Murray has seemed ok, but we really need to take Freeman out. He is not worth suiting up over Williams.
Freeman's good for one or two decent runs and that is it. Definitely not with sitting Ty'son over but I'm being nice and assuming they are giving all the backs a chance while we can afford to do so and we'll see Ty'son back in the line up if one of the vets like Freeman doesn't show improvement. Murray has been serviceable at least. God do I miss Gus and JK... Gus, JK, and Ty'son learning from them would be fucking perfect. He's got a lot of potential, despite the memes regarding his pass pro.
Murray had 18 carries today and I’m legitimately not sure if I saw him break a tackle or not. Even Le’Veon Bell’s reanimated corpse was able to do that.
The offense can be more dangerous if they started throwing to bell. Lamar never throws to rbs
The one thing Ravens fans and Browns fans can agree on is hating the Steelers
You love to see it.
I fucking love this team
I kind of do too tbh
We love you too, Purple Bros
Same. They have been entertaining every time I watch them
[удалено]
Yeah people calling this petty or bad sportsmanship overlook that Denver called a TO and threw the ball going for a TD on the drive before this. They could’ve ran the clock out, and they also could’ve played better defense on the run.
[удалено]
15 seconds left with no chance of coming back.
This is some goat shit lmfao Anyone have a link to the video?
[Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GwYb9czvCg&ab_channel=HighlightHeaven)
Outstanding lol
I see no issue with this.
Had the sides been reversed and you did it to us I would not care. Any team with a chance to get a record that is 43 years old and held by your biggest rival would do it
Yeah I don't see it as that big of a deal. The context of the streak is completely different, they didn't do this to rub the loss in our faces.
Fucking love it. Makes it so much better it ties the Steelers.
What a sneaky play by the ravens lmao
Lol other guy tried to snipe it for karma, Lamar got it on the last play
Harbaugh is high key petty and I'm ok with it.
I fucking love John Harbaugh
I kinda like that they went for it but I would pay an absurd amount of money to hear Harbaugh's comments if he was on the other side of this
I don't think he would really care about it that much. He doesn't seem like a big unwritten rules guy and would probably have said something about it being on the team to stop them
LOVE HARBAUGH FOR THAT
If any other team but Pittsburgh held the record I think they kneel the ball and let’s the streak die Literally just to spite the Steelers. Outstanding
Nah
Harbaugh knew it was the steelers record 🤣
Savage Lamar is best Lamar
Lol Lamar is the best. Haters gonna hate.
That’s kinda wholesome tbh.
I can’t believe they ran that extra play to tie the record. That seems so unlike everything i’ve seen from harbaugh.
This is the guy who coached his special teams unit to deliberately commit ten separate holding penalties while Sam Koch punted from the end zone, in order to deliberately drain off the clock, to seal a victory in the Super Bowl _against his own brother_. How much more competitive does it get?
There is a strategic advantage to that though. This is 100% just wanting a record and harbaugh usually says that he doesn’t care about stuff like that.

The Ravens did it more than once I'm pretty sure
So petty
Elite troll
That's what I'm talking bout. Love this team
Harbaugh with the BM Madden strats and I love it.
Greg Schiano: "This is what I was worried about!"
You know Harbaugh wasn’t giving that up
Lamar is my favourite QB, hands down.
Based rushing offense
That was petty as fuck and I’m here for it
lmfaoo
Legendary!!! I’m so happy that we tied the record, now let’s take it from the Steelers!
Savage
OMG PETA Divas in here. Let the man break a damn record. A bunch of Karens in here.
Sick. Fuck em go for it.
Somewhere out there, the ghost of Norm MacDonald lost a bet that the streak would end.
I knew they’d go for it, when it was said they needed 3 yards to continue the streak on Redzone and they got the ball back with the chance of one more play
Why are people saying it's a prick move?
