"He hits our catcher and it's an accident? I throw a little inside and it's on purpose????"
........yes?
bro tries to nail him the LITERAL FIRST PITCH LMAO what a clown
@@Humma_Kavulalike he didn’t even try to hide it it’s just so obvious
Lol 😂
LMAO yeah what is he talking about
Thanks for the play by play Mikolas, you're outta here.
the whole speech ready to go from Mikolas lmfao. the funniest part of the whole thing is he would've stayed in if he just did it once but since he missed he couldn't accept that lmao
like he said its slippery LOL
That's unacceptable!
100% what I said lmao I was telling my buddy if he had hit him with the first he would’ve gotten a warning at best
@@Kingofthepirates-si1gd He'd still be gone. Umpires have been ordered to have a zero tolerance this season with HBPs. If they think you did it on purpose, which they would since it's the first pitch after the guy injured your catcher, you're gone. No warnings, just gone.
Dog ate his homework ! 😂
Mikolas did NOT read the room lmao
“how do you toss me?” - *guy who just clearly threw a projectile 90 miles an hour at someone on purpose*
Twice. He did it twice.
@@jasondyrkacz8270that’s unacceptable! 😂
@@f430ferrari5 What's unacceptable is pitchers throwing at batters' heads. In this case, the pitcher doinked the hitter with a fairly slow looking pitch off his behind, the cushiest part of a person's body.
@@crucisnh you’re right. That’s “unacceptable”!!! Did you watch the vid? 😂
@@crucisnh 94 mph is not slow. And the first pitch WAS at his head, he just missed.
New catcher was absolutely befuddled when he said he was going to hit Happ 😂
Backup catcher: But why?
"That is Unacceptable!" Over and over had me rolling on the ground lmfao
Dog ate my homework was golden! Capped off his rant perfectly!
I know! And not one “horseshit.” Guy can’t even get a rant right.
The ump should have said "you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
The best part was that Mikolas was responsible for the Cubs' first run (which he put on base intentionally) and got pegged with the L. 😂
That is beautiful
I'm a Cardinals fan for life and I think that is great.
A 5 pitch L. beautiful!
That’s great lol
13.5 ERA on the day. What a performance, lol.
the fact that he threw at him again after missing the first pitch is hilarious
Hey pitchers, if you really want to have your team's back you should just strikeout the hitters that you don't like instead of giving them first base.
but how will they get to show they're tough boys?
@maxthomas8454 bad take
True. But sometimes you don’t do things for the logical reason. Look who we voted in as President.
I mean he literally did make him swing and miss
😂😂😂😅😅
Now just imagine Mikolas doesnt clown around and actually gets Happ out. Inning ends and maybe the Cards dont get whooped. The whole circus on display
Cmon, the cards were going to lose anyway.
... and what kind of punishment is that HBP anyway? Literally it was a freebie to Happ. No one cares about getting beaned in the backside. You get more dinged up sliding into 2nd.
Mikolas didn't last an inning and still took the L. how perfect was that
Yeah, as a Cards fan this was embarrassing. This was clearly an accident; throwing at a dude, giving him a base, and then complaining about being properly ejected is not a good look.
Unacceptable
Unacceptable
Unacceptable
Unacceptable
I get mikolas wanting his guys back but they literally former teammates and hugged after the play 😂😂
That father/son moment at the end was sweet, good find Jimmy 😄
That’s the best part of the video.
Jomboy always bringing it back to the good stuff!
"You're holding me, the pitcher, responsible for where I, the pitcher, pitch the ball? That is unacceptable! Unacceptable!"
😂
But wouldn't that also mean that the batter should be responsible for where the bat goes?
@@You_suck_at_games not necessarily, often times it can be that the catcher is too close; to my knowledge it's not interference of any kind as long as your feet are in the batters box
either way there's an obvious difference between accidentally hitting the catcher with the follow through and intentionally plunking the batter with a pitch
@@frb5237 So as long as it's an accident I'm allowed to hit people?
@@You_suck_at_games, you're being intentionally disingenuous. Accidents aren't 'allowed', they're excepted from being seen as malicious acts.
Be honest with yourself and you'll admit that you already knew this.
@@Loccyster So how many times does it take hitting a catcher for it to be seen as on purpose? Obviously, the pitcher was trying to hit the batter.
Note to pitchers: When you're obviously throwing at the batter in retaliation, 1. Get it right first time, 2. Don't throw a hissy fit when you're caught bang to rights.
The only thing more pathetic than the deliberate hit is the playing dumb about it.
As a Cardinals fan, agreed. He missed the first time, and then plays dumb rather than owning up to it. What a loser, especially after Contreras had clearly forgiven the guy.
3. Don’t “retaliate” for a clear accident
Of course it was on purpose: some of the slowest pitches I've ever seen.
@@davidarnold7147
The angle makes it seem slower. If you look at the stats on the screen, both pitches were 94mph. I wouldn’t call that taking it easy on anybody.
@@jeffmansfield914 Yeah, I didn't see that. I did see Happ brushing it off like it was nothing, and they appeared slow to me.
When this happened I thought it was the clearest and weirdest retaliation I’ve ever seen. Happ CLEARLY didn’t mean to hit his former teammate and Willie CLEARLY wasn’t angry at him. Mikolas just woke up that day hunting for controversy.
As a lifelong Cardinals fan, this was an absolutely pathetic display. This whole season has been an embarrassment.
"An Absolutely Pathetic Display" is the title of my autobiography. What a coincidence.
Agreed. Felt a lot of shame as an stl fan that day
oooooo self burn! Those are rare
Brad's commentary was even more embarrassing
As a lifelong Cubs fan, all the respect in the world to you for saying that. Long time fans of any team know that this whole situation was ridiculous, and a ton of respect to Happ and Willy for how they handled it all. I was a bit surprised Mikolas got tossed at first, but when I thought about it for a minute, it was the correct application of the rule. If you wanna hit a guy, gotta make sure you don’t miss.
Annoying ass Cardinals announcers were shocked that he got tossed. Apparently you can’t keep throwing at a batter till you eventually hit him 🙄
They complained about it for like 20 minutes too.
THIS. I was shocked at the announcers, they were dead wrong.
Cause happ is notorious for hitting catchers with his backswing and he’s done it to Contreras before and never attempted to fix it
@cadenwitt1384 oh, you know what he's done? Interesting. How much have you changed your MLB swing?
@@cadenwitt1384 sorry your team is in the basement, that's a shame.
Cardinals announcers were so salty after Mikolas got ejected, saying stuff like "Cubs and umps 3, Cardinals 0." Completely ridiculous, that's an easy and correct ejection.
Hearing their broadcast the next night when Tauchman literally stole their win was something precious, lemme tell you.
@@thedude3065wait what was wrong with the call? Didn’t he just say like caught or something
@@cmart1093 Chip was calling it like The Cardinals would get the last laugh
but rather than laugh, Chip got silent
only after pouting with the word "CAUGHT!"
@@thedude3065I see. I didn’t think it was a bad call, he was amazed by the catch
@@cmart1093 You thought that was amazement, but no, it was annoyance
You could tell Happ felt terrible about it and clearly wasn’t intending to do that
The funniest part about this is Happ scoring a run. He hurts them on accident, they hurt him on purpose and he ends up scoring the winning run 😂
When the guy that was hit with a bat and bleeding from his head, walks up to the man that did it and gives him a hug to acknowledge it was an accident, that should've been the end of it.
Why, why throw at the batter? That was a low-IQ play!
dude thought he was the main character.
Given how the manager reacted too, the whole team probably stinks of that brozo mentality. Shoulda been more pissed at what his pitcher just pulled rather than worry about what the other team was yelling.
it's just simply being classless
Imagine being the catcher and dealing with teammates who defended you by losing that hard.
Because it’s the Cardinal way 🤢
Denial, anger and yelling, move to personal attacks about people when you don't get your way.
Mikolas is the human embodiment of a hidden Twitter reply
thats gold man
😂
Cry
I think he was saying "I threw it this low" like it wasn't at the head, as opposed to making fun of Stroman's height.
@@schmads6683no u 🤓
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the announcers on the cardinals broadcast. It was probably the most biased commentary I’ve ever heard.
After the first pitch inside, they were like “well of course you gotta hit him” but then when the second pitch hit him, they changed to “how can you eject him for that? There was no intent!”
Why wouldn’t they be biased? They’re working for the Cardinals not the Cubs lol
In other news - home team broadcast favors home team. More at 11.
@@jacklaunius1238believe it or not there are some crews that actually manage to root for their team and see reality for what it is at the same time. They are far more entertaining.
Obviously there’s hometown bias but what I mean is they just were not seeing things rationally. They acted like the long swing was intentional as if Happ and Contreras weren’t teammates just a year ago.
@@kftc1980 reality is no they don’t, you just like your home team announcing more. What is completely understandable… But take off your teams glasses and actually listen.
The ease, heck the enthusiasm with which professional athletes lie is impressive.
Contreras and Happ showing it’s all good should’ve ended it right there. And then Mikolas and the Cardinals took it upon themselves to make it a scene and act like schoolchildren. Must be bitter about this disaster of a season
Yeah - for us its been a shitter.
I could even understand the single inside brushback "be careful" pitch, but the second one where Happ got hit was too blatant to keep Mikolas in the game.
Yeah if I was the catcher I'd be pissed at the pitcher like dude it was settled just play.
@@VideoFacioYeah exactly. The second one was just so obvious that he had to go. If he'd gone up and in once then resumed regular pitching, it would have just looked like he was just pitching inside. No biggie, move on
2019 nlds game 5
Honestly a little surprised jimmy didn’t do a bit about the two cardinals bat boys who just look so confused while mikolas was yelling at the cubs dugout 😂😭
I was expecting some reaction from them or the fans.
😂😂 the way he tried his best to pretend it wasn't the most obvious purposeful thing
an actual LOL moment when Mikolas says under his breath "I'm hitting him with the 1st pitch!" and the new catcher thinks "Ohhh. OKAY..." 😕
Yeah, the Cubs may have won the game big. But at the end of the day, Mikolas got to feel really tough and manly and that matters more than _everything_ in baseball.
Especially that the Cubs were too afraid to come at him when he's provocating them 😌
i thought never making the first or third out at third mattered more in baseball
Everyone knows its a smart and clever move to get into a fight with a guy who's already been ejected from the game.
@@YusssoM Calm down Mikolas.
@@YusssoMIf you're taunting the bench and they're all laughing at you, you're the fool.
Funniest thing was the Cardinals announcers reactions. They were 100% behind what Mikolas did.
And that’s unacceptable! 😂
Mikolas was wrong in every aspect here, like he didn't even know his catcher well enough to know that Happ played with him for 6 years and there would be no way it was intentional. Feels like Mikolas saw this and was like "finally an opportunity to hit someone with a pitch".
He didn't care if it was intentional or not, didn't care they were friends. He likes the violence and anger. That's what gets him off, any excuse for it he's going to take. Basically a psychopath
@@TheLifeOfNurselmfaooo
@@TheLifeOfNurse You can tell by his mustache.
@@TheLifeOfNurse It really isn't that deep little guy
@@RageBar100 Agreed, not much deep about a guy just wanting to hit another player
The catcher didn’t even give him signs. 😂 He went right after him.
I noticed that too! lol
They don’t give signs anymore it’s electronic
Love Mikolas!
Watch new catchers eyes when he visits mound. Like "oh crap".
Tell me you haven’t watched any baseball in 2023 without telling you haven’t watched any.
The last two older gentlemen in the crowd will be Jimmy and his son one day
The golden rule of retaliation HBP is you get one shot, if you miss let it go
The best part of this was the cardinals announcers saying how bad it was for mikolas to get tossed when he clearly hit Happ over an accident
I'm not surprised that WillCo wanted to stay in the game when this happened a few weeks ago. Guy is tough as nails and was with us as well. Also, hate the tough guy shtick. Don't retaliate and just play the game, especially when it's clearly accidental.
Wilson is very tough. Remember the Field of Dreams game? Looked like he died out there and just walked it off
Agreed. Clearly an accident. Mikolas' point of contention was probably the giant backswing. Still an accident, but possibly a preventable one. There's the argument that Contreras was just too close to the plate, and that's a fair argument from Happ's perspective too. Really annoyed that Mikolas did that. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
That said, as a Cards fan, fuck the Cubs.
Nah - always retaliate.
If he hit him on the first pitch it would have been different. I don’t like it and I don’t want to see it but ig if you really need to do it do it on the first pitch. Don’t miss and then come right back and hit him.
Still working on his control. I interpret it as Mik letting Happ know what was coming and so give him a chance to present his backside.@@jonjon6459
Never forget Mikolas yelling at Galvis for stepping on his mound. What a guy.
he may be a guy
but he's hardly a man
he and the cardinals deserve each other
You don't cross an opposing pitcher's mound. That's just the way it is.
@@sitbone3 "HuR dUr, MuH uNwRiTtEn RuLeS."
@@thedude3065I don't really care about the unwritten rules. I appreciate the mentality of "that's my turf and you can fuck off." I wish baseball players physically fought more. Like hockey, or MMA.
@@88unstopableyeah it isn't even really an unwritten rule, more of a territorial dominance thing
Was so hoping you would do this breakdown when i saw it happen, nice work!!!
The rare ejection where I'm completely with the umps!
Marmol getting tossed was too funny 😂
Yeah that was the only part where i was like huh? Lol
Like that escalated so quickly 😂😂
The funniest petty ejection I've ever seen. While I don't agree with thinned skinned umps, that one felt cathartic after watching that pathetic display from Mikolas.
when arguing with umpires you're pretty much automatically out if you make it about them. Using any form of the word "you" is nearly automatic, no matter how small.@@winslowwidd79
yeah just retaliate against the person who didnt do shit, real smart champ @@winslowwidd79
Some of the best dialogue in any video ever done by jomboy! This was a comedy routine yall!
One of the best breakdown ive watched in a while
I saw the title and said "I've seen this on other streams." But you truly upped your game on this entertaining video. 👍
The most accurate pitch Mikolas has thrown all season
And it still took him two tries
And incidentally the last pitch he'll throw over the next 5 games lol
Just when you thought Mikolas couldn't look any worse on the mound
Hes out best pitcher this year and he was just following a 32 team tradition.😭
@@ravefeild9995Dang he’s your best pitcher? That sucks.
Mikolas isn't bad, he's not an ace but calling him bad is delusional
@ravefeild9995 the cardinal way is as big as joke as Mikolas's career
@@kebobs3727 Being a consistent team for decades would come off as a joke to a Cubs fan
First time listening. Great job, Bud! Clean breakdown, good voice overs!
The worst part about baseball is how when people get a little disrespected they have the ability to just throw a 95 mph projectile at someone.
Facts
That’s the best part about it
best part
No, the true worst part is that this is considered status quo. "You hit my guy by accident, so by the unspoken rules of the game, I literally have to hit you or else I won't be part of the cool kids club anymore."
If it was an intentional hit on the catcher, I would kinda get it, but doing it just because it is considered obligatory is idiotic.
Make things fair by allowing the batter to occasionally let go of the bat during a swing.
I wanted to hear a breakdown of the announcer saying he should’ve been hit and that’s the right thing to do. Then losing his mind when the pitcher gets tossed.
I don’t ever remember this being a problem prior to the last few years.
Im generally fine w the immediate retalaition old school baseball but happ and contreras hugged it out and there were no issues. Mikolas missed on the 1st one and it should have been over and done with.
Man, that ending hug by those 2 guys was awesome
I wanted more on this one. I really needed jomboy's take on the ridiculous Cardinals announcing. 😢
This is a major safety issue in baseball. It's to the batter's advantage to creep back, and it's in the catcher's advantage to creep forward. Getting hit with a backswing like that can be a very serious head injury. Neither the catcher nor the batter technically did anything illegal, yet the backswing hit him very squarely in the head. MLB and fans are only going to start taking it seriously when somebody "important" gets a career ending or fatal injury from this
This is why I'm 100% on the pitchers side here. He should have been ejected, that's fair, but intentional or not, catchers have been getting hit way more than usual this year, and it's always the same guys with big followthroughs doing it. The message needs to be sent that "hey, you need to control your bat". It's not like the pitcher threw it in a dangerous spot, it was middle of the body to send a message and I'm fine with that. This sort of thing wasn't a big problem in years past, but a lot of guys have adopted this big follow through and it seems like catchers are getting nailed every other game now. Something needs to be done about it, and if the league can't figure something out, I'm fine with a few bruised hips to send the message.
Great point, I think a great solution to 2 problems I think would be move the catchers box back since moving the mound wouldn’t do anything, this would make more action and make the game safer for catchers
@@adamleblanc5294 the first pitch wasn't going for the hip, also this doesn't really send a message to anyone. if catchers are consistently getting injured like this then that's something that requires some rule adjustments, dinging a batter for an accident isn't going to do anything besides make you look like a jerk
@@adamleblanc5294 He's well within his right to have a big swing, and as long as he is in the box then the hitter gets more of an advantage than the catcher does. He can move back and should. He isn't bound by any restrictions besides trying to get the upper hand on balls in the dirt and framing pitches.. Considering the avg mlb pitcher now throws 95+ mph and the avg hitter hits around .250, he's going to use the back of the box. That's why it's there. There is no reason to be hit by a backswing unless you're too close.. There is a reason you have catchers interference on backswings.. Period. You want to change it make a catchers box..
Also why the record for catcher interference calls in a season has already been broken this year.
What’s weird is how the pitcher is more aggrieved by the accident then Contreras was. I mean they hugged it out already. It’s one of those silly unwritten and also unintelligible baseball rules.
2:08 that is the least convincing "absolutely not" I have ever seen. couldnt stop laughing.
You know Happ watching this breakdown from home with a smile on his face 😂
This nonsense is the oldest and biggest argument against the designated hitter. If a pitcher can regularly buzz hitters with 95 mph pitches then he should regularly be faced with the same. But of course, MLB doesn't make their own rules anymore. That's up to the broadcasters, agents, sports talk guys, gamblers etc. to attract viewers that are not even sports fans.
If you're going to retaliate (for an accident?), at least own it.
Don't play around and pretend. Just hit the batter, get ejected, walk to the locker room.
Been waiting for this one since I saw it live!
The “don’t tell me what to do” is hilarious 😂😂😂
Ok so its a ton of respect and humbleness between the hitter and the catcher followed by a total circus by everyone else 😅
This is easily the most deserved ejection of the year!
I love how Mikolas was being respectful & clean with his retorts: "unacceptable! Garbage!" all the way to the end until he just went on a barrage of F-bombs. Hilarious!!!
Thanks for the last scene- it is beautiful
So the pitcher sees Happ and Contreras hug and neither one being upset at the other because they both know it wasn't intentional and he just decided to drill Happ anyway?
Craziest thing is I saw cardinal fans on twitter blaming the umps for their loss after the game lol
Definitely one of the best breakdowns ever 😂😂😭
The delivery here of “Unacceptable” may be the greatest Jomboy commentary to date
You could do another breakdown on the Cardinal's broadcast booth alone
he really tried to play that off as an accident lol. acceptable ejection if I've seen one
"a beautiful moment in baseball, that's what it's al..." I burst out laughing when he said this after what he just read from their lips lmaoooooooo
I love how Jomboy Media is a multimillion dollar company now, but Jimmy still doesn’t use “your” and “you’re” properly all the time. Please don’t ever change. Love your content.
I’m on my boyfriends account…
We were there, and I was saying Jomboy the whole time this was happening bc I wanted him to do a video on this so badly! So glad you did! This was also my sons first baseball game 😂 such an eventful one
And I thought Mikolas eating a live lizard was stupid...
The other thing that really made me roll my eyes with this situation was the STL broadcast booth trying to make it seem like it was Happ's fault. Like...wow...
BTW that wasn't Mikolas calling Stroman short, that was him reminding everyone where the Cards currently were in the standings. 😛
These narrated lip reads are amazing 😂
Homeboy is so good at it that it’s a legit superpower. He could be a successful spy
The post incident information is awesome.
People saying Mikolas was following some unwritten rule...no. It is not common, or a tradition, or some unwritten rule, to automatically plunk a batter after his backswing hits your catcher. It is not a thing. Possibly if it happened repeatedly or seemed intentional there might be retaliation, but that wasn't the case here. This was just Mikolas wanting to feel like a big man, period.
It's a thing.
"Let's give the guy who accidentally injured our catcher, his former teammate who can steal bases sometimes, first base, that'll teach him!"
It's just a bunch of people who watch a couple of Jomboy videos, have seen people talk about "unwritten rules," then attribute every time something happens to them. It really points out the people who don't watch baseball, don't know the game, and think their opinion is worth anything. It's amazing how many people I see, "I only watch baseball when Jomboy posts" and then have opinions. They really should go watch some bat flip videos or maybe some cat videos or something.
@@Alexander_Grant If there wasn't 3 minutes of entertainment in a 5 hour game then maybe more people would watch idk
@@axis8396 I don't really care about more people watching it. More of a percentage of a baseball game is action than a football game, so action isn't the problem. If you don't enjoy it, then don't watch it, I don't care either way.
Its not a back swing...its a follow through.
It wasnt intentionally tho. I highly doubt it
That father son moment at the end was so wholesome, thats what you like to see in baseball!
(and the cardinals losing)
Is it just me or is this whole backswing hitting catchers thing really way more prevalent lately? What's changed to cause it?
Catchers are crowding the plate more often.
Lol I love how the first two replies are totally conflicting
The size and location of batters boxes haven't changed in like 100 years. It's not possible for batters to be crowding any closer than they have been.
Opening the hips up for power and launch angle, longer follow-through.
Analytics says set up closer to steal strikes
The "unwritten rules" are the worst thing about baseball.
im not american and new to baseball. in this case are you referring to be let go for deliberately hitting batter with pitch as retaliation if they hurt your team. Ive seen that happen many times on Jomboy
Tatis hitting that homer a few years back was the biggest thumb in the eye against the unwritten rules. I loved it more than the actual HR
@@Demon8593 There are some other ones as well but yeah that's one of em. Often the punishment for breaking one of these unwritten rules is one of your guys gets plunked
@@SpiritofAloha11 Thats because you have no respect for the game.
@@whatdudeokman6481It's literally Tatis' job to get runs. It's the other team's job to get him out.
Was at this game as a cardinal fan. It was 110 degrees and all this happened in the first inning.
Sad game indeed
W0W! It's that new announcer you guys brought to town! The Red Bird's haven't been the same since!? Ha!
Retaliation possibly cost his team the game. Changed the whole momentum. Stupid move on Mikolas part. Next time just strike the man out and talk your shit as he’s walking back to the dugout instead of giving them a run.
What a baby lmao. "When I do something I get in trouble, when he takes our catcher out of the game, it's an "Accident"? You guys are just targeting ME!" such a baby way of thinking.
Saw this live but the breakdown is awesome. Laughing my ass off at the lipreading.
I'm a goalie in hockey and don't get why more backcatchers don't use the hockey style mask. Like he wouldn't have gotten hurt there if he had the hockey style mask on. It would have bounced off the mask and made his ears ring but he would be fine
!00% - and there's solid proof now: If Yadi Molina does it, everyone should. Anyone who has some excuse that it affects their view or doesn't feel right should look at Yadi being the best catcher in a generation with his hockey mask and _strongly_ reconsider their stance.
common hockey W
@@jakestine4753 Many catchers believe Hockey style masks increase the risk of concussion and don't have enough padding on the forehead. I don't know if its true or a myth but that's why a lot of catchers don't wear them. Saying "look at Yadi" isn't going to change their minds.
I’m not familiar with how it feels to wear a hockey mask but do they perform well in the heat? Very different being on ice vs being outside in August.
@@louiscypher4186 They are actually better for hits to the forehead as well. Look at the new style All-star hockey style helmets. They are a far superior design to any mask and skull cap.
Would’ve had way more respect for Mikolas if he was like “yeah I drilled him so what”
Beautiful moment with the dad in the end❤
I love how Happ acts like "he doesn't throw hard enough to even bother me." Disrespecting the velo.
I feel like there needs to be something done to prevent catchers from getting smashed in the head with bats. I don't remember this ever happening when I was younger, but seems to be way more frequent now.
I got an idea, if the batter is, presumably in the batter box, the catcher should be back enough, like maybe a designated spot, somewhere he can't possibly be hit by a back swing
@@kennethpierson82 Or a simpler solution, the batter keeps both hands at the bat, this one handed followthrough is the most unnecessary nonsense that they have ever started in baseball.
@@thomasstreich6564 if this is bait it's legendary lmao

Just a terrible look for Mikolas
Why?
every pitcher would have done this in this situation.

@@ravefeild9995so every pitcher is unsportsmanlike?
@@ravefeild9995 LMFAO. I think 99% of pitchers wouldn't even have the thought cross their mind.
Bro I picked up Mikolas on my fantasy team the day this happened because I needed some extra points. I was in utter disbelief when I saw he had pitched 0.2IP and had taken the L
At least it was his fault
This is such a great breakdown.
When you see a man unironically rockin the 70's "adult entertainment" stash you know you're in for some shenanigans.
Single piece hockey style helmets are so much better at protecting against these types of injuries to the catcher.
This is another problem that can be alleviated by the automated strike zone. Catchers wouldn't need to creep up because of the umpire.
