Saying "I think" is actually sorta genius in that moment, if he came out and said "HEY hey never touched home plate" the ump would've gotten defensive and this clip would be in a "umps having thin skin and ejecting ppl compilation" video
That Notre Dame education keeps paying off.
This comment is true and funny
I’m not sure that he would’ve been thrown out. I think it was more an attempt to avoid suspicion if they did indeed take that mound visit to review the play, then plan to appeal in order to review. Pretty genius, must say.
It's not likely because they didn't want to appear aggressive (certainty is a stronger position to take when you can). It's that they didn't want to draw attention to how long it had been since the play occurred, that they'd have been able to view the replay. At least, that's what Jomboy is suggesting here.
no challenge could have been issued without something to legally challenge. It would have taken a galaxy brained ump to realize that by accepting his appeal he was reopening the time window for a challenge.
"I think he missed homeplate" is the polite way to tell the ump he's wrong.
It's like when you write "kindly" in a work email.
@@MrMostaza14 😂
Yep. Just some diplomacy there.
It was really Midwest Nice of him
@@gfox9295 rare in baseball
Gotta be hard for umps to argue when the person you're arguing with is like "no i literally made these rules, i think you're wrong"
I bet it's even harder for LaRusa to go back thinking "we fucking forgot about the appeal"
@@TheCoolwhipped even worse “we fucking forget to actually read the rule book”
I think that last dugout visit was the umps checking LaRussa's breath to see if he needed a sobriety check.
@@MrSheckstr except they didnt ask for a video review, they said they think he missed the plate and the umps were like "Yeah he might have, we know the homeplate ump didnt do his job as the ball was going at him"
At least this brought the percentage of getting it right with replay up to 40%.
Something I really appreciate in this video is at 1:09, Jomboy doesn't fault the Umpire for missing the play. As much as we crap on umpires they're still human.
I think it was pretty excusable seeing he had a ball flying at him
Avoiding being hit is natural but he could have been honest and looked to the other umps for a call, he knows he didnt watch what happened so he should have been honest and not made any call.
@@swskitso no other ump can make a call on a missed touch at home plate; he MUST make the call. at the MLB level that's what replay is for. at lower levels without replay, after signaling the runner safe and the defense complains _nicely,_ he might get the crew together and ask "did anyone see him conclusively NOT touch the plate?".... chances are no one 100+ feet away could be absolutely sure, so the call would stand
I don't mind when they're wrong, I just don't like when they're dicks about it. this ump was cool but sometimes they aren't
@@swskitso what a dumb comment. Every umpire had specific things they are watching for. No one is watching for the play at home except the home plate umpire.
Before you try to make suggestions or criticism I suggest you educate yourself on how umpires do their job
It is a little messed up, but I can't lie: It's somewhat satisfying to see Tony "Unwritten Rules" LaRussa be disappointed.
He's definitely not good with the writing them down.
Tony La(unwritten rules)sa
Not somewhat - very satisfying. He’s been doing that since he was with the Cards.
Yeah this is totally one of those “unwritten rules/decorum” but all and all I would say it’s legal just very sneaky
"Unwritten Rules" are for boys clubbers. If it was a real rule, it'd be written down.
Thing I love about it is that's always been LaRussa when he managed. He always used every trick in the book to win or get something his way. Brewers flipped the script on him.
They actually had to go about it this way; Pena never tagged the runner or the plate, so they had to tag the base before the next pitch in order to have an appeal to challenge. The 20s in order to challenge started on the appeal. The mound visit did not constitute a new play.
@@matthewweber2455 what? Shut up bozo
@@GokuFan98 he’s right
If it was Joe Maddon instead of La Russa, the umps would have 100% sided with Maddon. Maybe even ejected Councel for bothering them while they were at it.
@@GokuFan98 that's how base running errors are reviewed...
More specifically, missing home plate has it's own rule: 5.09(b)(12)
(12) In running or sliding for home base, he fails to touch home base and makes no attempt to return to the base, when a fielder holds the ball in his hand, while touching home base, and appeals to the umpire for the decision;
In this case, on appeal the runner was called safe, and the appeal was reviewed (immediately I may add).
i like the "safe, NO OUT!" twins, new favorite characters
lost my shit when they called him out and zoomed into the one guy
Without their own microphones, ballpark shots of groups of fans make for a wonderful return to silent-movie-comedy. Jomboy should narrate some of those, he has a real knack for reading people. I love how developed of an act these two already are. The best bit is when Brewer mocks White Sock by mimicking his sunflower-seed fist-toss & then folds his own arms to contrast w/ the safe-call being made directly across the front of his own chest. I could make a thousand gif's out of those 10 or 15 seconds of video. LaRussa, too... LOL.
That was my son and me.

I don’t understand how you wouldn’t step on the plate in that scenario. That’s your only objective in that moment lol
Right. And with replay he should have known he’d be caught missing it.
I suspect he got distracted when the ball hit him.
@@dLimboStick we are talking about the runner, not the umpire
In football, ball carriers don't always look down to make sure they have crossed the goal line before they try for style points by shedding the pigskin.
@@dc7993 It def hit the runner right on his foot.
La Russa upon being told there's no rule that the Brewers broke: "But the unwritten rules say..."
he'll somehow bring in swinging on 3-0
Fuck unwritten rules. They make the game not as entertaining for younger audiences and bring viewership down. Not the only thing doin it but it is a contributing factor
@@lebryantjohnson7306 lol right
@@CadWeapTech the only unwritten rule worth following is waiting(even if they’re in the batters box) for the batter to be ready.
That's a written rule. From the MLB website rules PDF. Rule 6.02 Pitcher Illegal Action (a) Balks (5) The pitcher makes an illegal pitch; COMMENT: A quick pitch is an illegal pitch. Umpires will judge a quick pitch as one delivered before the batter is reasonable set in the batter's box. Similar comment at 5.07(a)(2).
Jomboy’s lip-reading is impeccable. Like that’s actually insane.
The CIA will get him under contract soon. I'm almost sure of it.
You're assuming he's right. Maybe LaRussa said "I awoke in a frog orifice" instead of "I worked in the front office."
Jomboys also a mind reader. Took one look at La Russas shifty eyes & read his friggin mind.
'OOhhhhhhhhh! You sneaky. . . What? What? Uh, hold up. What!?'
LMAO

well in that case, Wraig Wounsell
As someone who interacts frequently with clients, I definitely use this language a lot.
"I think you're missing a few files"
"It looks like these numbers are off"
"It seems like this is incorrect"
I know all of these statements are perfectly true, but unless you want to get on someone's bad side, you definitely couch your language this way. Plus it leaves you room to backpedal in case you actually are wrong.
I think they’d think “He didn’t step on the bag” would have been seen as argumentative, while “I think he missed the bag” is more inquisitive and neutral
@@dremin15 Yeah I feel like if he had just said "he didn't step on the bag" the umps might have just shut it down right there.
Considering they lost at least one game* to blatant butthurt-cheating? Yup, gotta protect those sensitive feelings.
* - Woodruff has a good lead, but gets mad at bad calls that chase him off. Chirps about it when relieved. Umpire not satisfied with "ejecting" him, makes *blatant* bad calls in quick succession to make sure Woodruff eats a loss. Next game, makes a blatant bad call near the start and just stares in the dugout to wordlessly say "I can do anything I want".

@Soflo Sports Kinda embarrassing you're a sports channel, yet you said something so daft and ignorant. Revoke this mans sports card.
His point was that LaRussa was more angry about Yermin ignoring the "take" sign than breaking an unwritten rule. I don't completely agree, but it's not the worst take
@@super8bitvideos so someone's not a sports fan cause they respect opponents and traditions? You do sound like a sports fan getting triggered over someone liking unwritten rules
Not a loophole at all. Appeals must be made before the next play. A review of the umpire's decision on the appeal must be requested within 20 seconds. This is pretty easy to understand. The umpire did what he was supposed to do: Watch the ball.
“You got bases loaded - man on 3rd, man on 2nd, man on 1st”
Yep…. Sounds about right
Lmao 🤣
🤣
I think everyone can agree that “touching the base” rule is far more important than a “20 second to challenge a call” rule.
One might even say touching the bases is like the main rule.
Anytime up until another pitch being thrown should be ok.
“Hey wait you can’t do that!!!“ -someone who broke the rules 20 seconds ago
@@Jivvi So I get what you're saying and in principle I agree. Just so that you know why it isn't like that... the idea is they don't want the coaches to be able to see the replay 20 seconds later and then pay people on staff to watch and look for TINY little things wrong and hold up the game by constantly challenging all the time because they can sift through the footage after the fact. It would really bog everything down and the game would become wayyyy slower and all about stupid niche moments.

Counsell outwitting La Russa - you love to see it
This isn’t a matter of Counsell outwitting La Russa. He merely exercised his right to review under the rules and there was literally nothing La Russa could have done to prevent it regardless of wit.
Great breakdown again. That was a genius move on Counsell's part. Well within the rules and I love that LaRussa was stumped. 😂
3:19 😵💫🤣
This wasn't a genius move. It was the only move. He can't challenge the safe call because there was no "out" possible. (The catcher did not tag the runner or home plate.) He can ONLY appeal the runner missing home. And that's what he did.
Thanks JomBoy for holding it down here at UA-cam, and making this a place still worth coming back to. You are a fucking Gem.
Craig C is one of the most brilliant managers I have ever seen.
No he’s not. He stinks.
The easiest job for a manager is to pull an obviously struggling pitcher just before that pitcher gives up 3 to 4 runs. Craig loves for struggling pitchers to get themselves out of their own jams they’ve created.
When he finally does make a move, after of course the 3-4 lead turns into a 2 run deficit, the pitcher he brings in next gets the final out on three consecutive pitches.
So yeah, he stinks!
@@cherbutler85 is that why he is the longest tenured manager in the NL?
Love the freeze frame of LaRussa's face when Jomboy decided to go PIP
this play is a microcosm for my life. Its like my dad always said, "close don't cut it bucko".

You provide the best "weird stuff happens" break downs ever.
That is absolutely amazing gamesmanship. Folks can learn a thing or two from this. How the Brewcrew handled that was with pure class.
How do players keep missing the bags… you can literally feel the difference in your step when you hit the plate…
They're dumber than dirt. That's how.
Couldn’t truly tell you. Seen too many people make excuses for professionals failing the basics. “The ball hit him” , “the catcher was blocking the plate” , “it’s the umpires fault he called him safe”. The hoops some jump through when my one and only thought would be getting to and touching home plate.
Idk. They fail to tough home base in a game called baseball
No different than the idiots in the NFL that drop the ball before crossing the goal line. How many times do we have to see that happen?
Home plate feels different than the other bases. It's flat and just feels like the dirt unlike 1st, 2nd, & 3rd which protrude and there is a clear distinction when touching/running over them.

Umpire: “Not good enough apparently.”

6:00 - Happily this has changed now.
I think baseball should change rules to dodgeball rules. If the player throws the ball at you and it hits you, you're out.
If you can dodge a baseball, you can dodge a wrench.
Be honest, I know you all chuckled at La Russa’s eyeballs going haywire 😂
Excellently executed, good job Counsell.
when he said "hey come here a minute" wiggling his finger in slow motion all i could think about was "why dont you have a seat"
I disagree that it's a loophole. The challenged play is not the runner failing to touch Home. The challenge is the appeal, which the umpire missed for a completely fair reason. Replay was implemented in large part to help get correct plays that umpires cannot get correct in real time because of unpredictable demands placed on them. The missed call was the appeal play. Replay got it right. It's not a "bug" in the rules. It's a feature.
This all could have been avoided if the dude touched home plate 🤦🏻♂️
Amazing rundown by Jomboy as always though 🔥🔥🔥
Jomboy I'd love to see a breakdown of the Mariners comback against the Astros yesterday!
Umpires: "Counsell is technically correct. The best kind of correct"
"Don't quote me regulations. I co-chaired the committee that reviewed the recommendation to revise the color of the book that regulation's in... We kept it grey!"
He's not, though.
Lesgo Jomboy vid makes everything better
Just tell the white sox manager guy that it's an unwritten rule that if the bases are loaded you can have a mound visit and then review if the guy missed the home plate
The question is whether the original appeal was timely.
That type of appeal predates the current rules regarding appeals. My understanding is that they have to appeal before the next pitch. Same with appealing if a runner tagged up and left early. Was that changed and a time limit put on that as well?
No. People are just confusing an appeal with a challenge.
We are waiting for the Baez walk off breakdown, Jimmy

This might be my favorite replay, smart move by the brew crew
It really was brilliant. It took me a second to figure out how they got around it. Really though, MLB could probably just copy the NFL and allow coaches or umps to review scoring plays or specifically, plays-at-the-plate if there is a legitimate concern over home plate contact or possession of the ball or whatever...
The smart move wouldve been challenging right away as it was blatantly obvious he missed the plate.
Agreed but brew crew is the worst name lmao
Cheaters
The only thing LaRusa knows better than the rulebook is the price of a 30 pack at your local beer distributor
Memoria
Before replay position players used to routinely miss tagging bases and umps basically gave it to them. Except for first base because umps actually looked at the feet when they tagged it.
really puts the HIGH in high level.
MLB players need to do the hop and land on both feet on the plate move.
It's almost like the NBA with traveling
@@KTF0 "the turn" at second base. When I started umpiring, I was taught early that if the fielder is in the same zip code as second base to give them the out on the force.
Fantastic gamesmanship. Love all aspects of this. Great video and narration.
I think that no matter what he still OBVIOUSLY missed the plate. If it is obvious then he is not safe because at the end of the day he OBVIOUSLY did not touch the plate.
Tony LaRussa arguing for 10 minutes about a rule he made to help pace of play. Classic.
Appeal plays are different, the umpires got it right. Which is great because Tony La Russa was on the losing side
What is an appeal?
Zed A way to challenge a base running mistake, without the runner being there...
Things like passing base without touching (advancing or retreating), and leaving to early (before ball that is caught is first touched)
If he called him safe,the runner has no recourse the play is over.
But even after the safe call, if the player had gone back to touch the plate, they wouldn't have been able to appeal. The reason Burnes stepped off of the plate and threw to home was so that the catcher could step on the plate and effectively get the force out at home. If the runner had touched the plate, even after being called safe, there is no grounds for appeal because they still have to have the ball while touching the plate to record the out.
He called the safe signal, he didn’t call the runner safe until the appeal at the plate.
Safe is used for no catch, no obstruction, no fan interference, and important in this situation, no interference by a runner.
He was ruling that the runner was not guilty of interference when he was hit by the ball...
@@rickhaavisto9023 well he waited until the runner was way past the plate almost back in the dugout to only rule no interference. And then rules safe on the appeal too.
A R Ok? So you agree with me that the original commenter is wrong that the umpire ruled the runner safe until the appeal?
You can appeal, until a legal or illegal pitch has been thrown. This happened to me as a plate up, where there was an appeal, and I made the correct ruling after a new pitcher was brought in and he took his 8 warmups.
I don’t even like baseball but I watch this whole video 🤣😂 great job

i love these........... and these break downs. great stuff. youre the best.
It's a loophole for sure but it's also not. The mound visit to stall is the loophole for challenging but when they appealed the play that becomes a new challenge created scenario so this was just smart managing on the situation. To challenge straight away that a player missed the one bag that every player makes sure they stomp into would have been just a wild challenge cause, it's home plate. The one spot that you 100% put your body into so the run can be secured. Just all around a good set up of events by Counsel on that.
In addition, to challenge touching a base requires an appeal BEFORE challenging.
Oh, Jomboy. Thank you for helping us forget about all the bullshit going on in the world for a few minutes. Love a good loophole.
I think he knew he missed home plate but was afraid that the catcher had recovered the ball after the bad throw. He probably thought it would be better to just commit as if he had touched home plate, otherwise risk backtracking and possibly getting tagged out
Either way, great job taking advantage of the loophole by the Brewers.
The umpire in that situation, since this isn't a force play, should have made no call, indicating that he didn't touch the plate. The newer umpires who know positioning better would have done that.
The irony is that the whole point of replay is to get the call right, but Tony doesn't care about that if it's going against him 🤔
One of your better breakdowns right here as far as I’m concerned. Top 3
Wouldnt need a "great equalizer" is he would have stepped. on home plate. Thats probably the most important rule in baseball. Get to home plate and touch it.

Put a mustache on Tony La Russa and he’s the MyPillow Guy.
I'm not even a baseball fan but damn I love this channel
Somebody on the Milwaukee team probably has a law degree. The Brewers figured out that it was too late to challenge the safe call. So they opted to challenge the "appeal denied" call. Great job finding that loophole!
It's challenging touching a base. But there is nothing to challenge until after the appeal is denied, as that requires an appeal before the challenge.
Gotta love the Brewers here. Not screaming, not freaking out, just calm and relaxed. Love it
IN THE END, THEY GOT THE CALL CORRECT SO NONE OF THIS SHOULD REALLY MATTER.
He called safe.. that’s the problem he could have walked back and touched the base if he hadn’t. Called safe
A runner who passes a bag untouched is deemed to have touched the bag unless appealed. Therefore the umpire always calls the runner who missed a bag safe and waits for the appeal. This is seen mostly for plays at 1B and the plate.
The policy should be "get the call right"
If that were really the case, humans wouldn't still be calling balls and strikes
the ump had a ball fly at him bro, its natural human reactions for him to focus his attention on the baseball thats about to hit him and off the plate
@@mattdeaver6850 Human umpires are more accurate than the existing technology in real time.
