This Is Why You Don't Ever Keep Zack Greinke Waiting

[@PitchingNinjaVideos]

Thanks for the shoutout!

[@madethecut]

Keep being awesome!

[@mrno_name9518]

I’m watching padres vs Yankees spring game and they mentioned him on live tv.. again, crazy

[@deadpanfish]

Why do you get credit for footage? Wouldn't that be MLB and whatever network broadcast it? Yes it would.

[@yrbtv5891]

@@deadpanfish I know right. Since we’re giving credit for no reason - shout out to you for giving us access to UA-cam.

[@KidFresh71]

Batters who lallygag between pitches are the worst. So glad batters are being limited to one time out per at bat in the upcoming season. Should be one time out per game!

[@adanalyst6925]

Seriously, if I had pulled the antics MLB guys do at bats in my Rec league my coach would have yelled at me

[@1Outis1]

They should only be able to call time out if there's an equipment malfunction or they're injured. No more timeouts for ridiculous reasons.

[@twp397]

Watching Juan Soto ABs makes me want to **** myself

[@thebeasters]

It's over now

[@SG-jm7np]

it's the worst when the worst hitter in the lineup takes the longest time

[@pathfinder509]

Zack is a no BS player, call him an odd duck, weird whatever the world could use more people with his straight forwardness.

[@c.s.s.5326]

Greinke is my fav post-Maddux pitcher.

[@nathansands71]

God, i miss watching Maddux pitch.

[@Darth_atrocious]

I feel like the pitching has taken a huge turn now. I miss prime verlander and kershaw. Seems like the art of finesse is going away. Which isn’t a bad thing. I just miss the 2010s.

[@c.s.s.5326]

@@Darth_atrocious Feel ya there. I long for the 90s and 00s as well. We are in the era of the thrower, not really the pitcher. Sure, guys paint a few corners and Pitching Ninja highlights them, but, legit, Maddux, Mike Mussina. Jamie Moyer, Ek Duke, Mariano, guys were doing that on MOST of their pitches. Most. Even guys who were more upper mid tier and not truly elite, think, Al Leiter, Tim Hudson, even Rick Ankiel when he worked from the mound before the yips, Chuck Finley, these guys could pitch. They understand command, power, control and situations in ways guys just try to throw through now.

[@c.s.s.5326]

@@nathansands71 Dude, amen. Everything was so pro. His post pitch ready position always blew my mind. Reason why he won, something like 10-15 Gold Gloves in a row or something insane like that.

[@jaypruitt8639]

They can’t take their sweet ass time this year with the brand new, shiny ass pitch clock!!

[@sgtleobella]

I am a baseball purist in some regards, but I am so happy that the pitch clock is being implemented. The Manfred runner, otoh...

[@tim.noonan]

@@sgtleobella I wish they had done a progressive system with the extra innings baserunner. Tenth inning puts one on first, one on second in the 11th, third for 12th etc. Would get the same effect with increasing urgency as the game drags on.
This is assuming it was inevitable. Obviously would be better if it never happened at all.

[@sgtleobella]

@@tim.noonan Yeah, I honestly wouldn't mind the Manfred runner if it was implemented in the 12th inning. Give teams a couple of extra innings to win the game without it, then go for it.
The players like the rule, though, so I guess I should get on board. I just don't want to haha

[@jonnylake3rd]

And this is why there's a timer now.

[@rickroll1747]

But you still don't watch baseball so no one cares.

[@joshthompson8359]

Zack would tell batters what pitch he is gonna throw and still striking them out!

[@volsdeep9395]

It’s a mind game. If a pitcher told me he was throwing a fastball, I would automatically assume something else is coming 😂

[@joshthompson8359]

@@volsdeep9395 I would trust a pitcher over a catcher anyday!

[@nobelsteed6440]

Really liked watching him in Milwaukee.

[@Ballen81587]

Pitch clock fixes this…. Hitters really shouldn’t even need the timeout because the main reason they take them is the pitcher sets then takes forever to try to throw the hitters timing off

[@dannykrise9721]

Enter max scherzer finding a way to do this even with the clock

[@ElitePanda946]

I ❤ greinke

[@TigerSharkMLB]

Greinke the goat

[@MickLoud999]

My fave Zack quote. There was a news conference when he was acquired by the Dodgers. A reporter asked him what he saw in the future (obviously meaning HIS future with the Dodgers) instead Zack responded "Flying Cars"!

[@kalumbaker8393]

I love that Zack can now call his own pitches and call himself off. The gift that keeps giving.

[@davidcook680]

Lmao one of a kind. Good ole Zach.

[@gregrusso7909]

That was genius.. after a break he throws a fast ball and through his timing off. Genius

[@squigglyline2813]

Why would the ump call that if he was in the box? What are (were) the rules?

[@chimchu3232]

Quick pitching has always been a gray area, even before the rule change, you had to wait for the batter to be reasonably set, and the pitcher is supposed to get the sign and go through with the normal pitching delivery. Zack rushed the sign and the delivery, and the ump determined that the batter wasnt ready and zack rushed through the sign too quickly.

[@guywebster8018]

[@jonnuanez7183]

Wouldn't expect anything less from Zachariah

[@slanderman3296]

Take your sweet time.......pow right in da kissa

[@tomb3622]

I have relatives in Kansas City who say he is a very strange guy.

[@brianmiller6353]

That's awesome. He was pretty late on that heater. 🤣🤣🤣

[@NoCharles233]

Bro that’s my godfather

[@Grisworld_Matt]

Cervelli was a great brave while he was here

[@midnightmower69]

“Greinke’s antics” aka social anxiety what hahaha

[@brennanroy7842]

That's not an eephus lol. It's just a slow curve.

[@billt8504]

Fun fact about waiting: both the Three Stooges and the Marx Brothers were contracted to MGM. When it came time to negotiate a new deal, the Stooges walked into Louis B Mayer's office asking for more money. He told them to sit down and he'd be right back. They waited 15 minutes then left, thinking he forgot about them. They did not get a raise. Two months later the Marx Brothers walk into Mayer's office asking for more dough. Mayer tries the same thing on them. When he comes back 30 minutes later his assistant tells Mayer the Marx Brothers are still in his office. He walks in and the three of them (minus Zeppo I guess) are butt naked and have started a fire in Mayer's fireplace. They are taking papers from his desk and throwing them into the fire. According to Groucho they got naked and started the fire 5 minutes after Mayer left. The Marx Brothers got a new deal.

[@scarbo2229]

Nothing wrong with pitching right away when the batter’s in the box. “Quick pitch”?

[@Demicron]

How is that a none pitch.... good thing we have a timer now.

[@aidenrogatz8071]

Well no more of that!

[@EJH4197]

Not an eephus - slow curve

[@mj23allday247]

Why did the ump call it a non-pitch?

[@Kardaszpm]

Last pitch wasn't ephus. 68 slow curve.

[@solophentii3468]

[@user-jv9qz2bu1r]

it fits since he is an odd duck

[@Boots_McScoots]

If you Eeph the us, you'll have a bad day.

[@Based_ball]

Clearly a curveball, not an eephus

[@roachasaurus2020]

This will never happen again

[@guyincognito1423]

If that was an Eephus, 8t was the worst one ever thrown.

[@atstupenas]

That was not an Ephesus pitch

[@j.tyler2024]

Zak's IQ on the mound is unparallel, we are lucky to be watching future HOF. Weird...? Nah, Genius 😮
