@@SomeRandooooHe didn't change it, it was already empty the first time, but they had to check and make sure it was, that's why the second time it was allowed because they didn't know if it was allowed even empty the first time
Ask yourself this, it's a question that none of the idiots in league officials or some of those sly but obvious haters never will. How can that sensor or anything that insignificant can help him run faster, catch better and definitely not hit better.
If someone stole your significant other and flaunted it to your face, would you be cool with that, or would you be upset? You can lie to me, but you cannot lie to yourself.
I have that thing, it’s called a blast and it tracks all your swing data and you can play a home run derby on it and it tracks how far the ball goes by bat speed
It actually allows for faster bat speed, but can do long term damage to your hands and the nerves in them, also can make your swing habits horrible by changing the angle over time.
You guys are idiots, it gives more grip to your pinky, if he keeps the bat abit loose in he's hand while swinging the weight of the bat will be mostly at the front, while the knob held mostly by the pinky on the back doesn't let the bat fly out he's hands, it's definitely an advantage, just not illegal, I used to do this with my mini tennis ball, God I'm smart as fuck
The video asks if it's cheating. I'm a big fan of this channel but asking if it's cheating to make sure you get rid of the cheating aspect so you can play more comfortably? Bruh.
I would have done the same thing. I don't exactly think he's a fan of tattle tailing for something he didn't actually do. Totally unnecessary. Just like pointing at the knob. Tit for tat is what thats called. Some might call it karma.
Keeping it on makes so much sense, if you are practicing with it swinging thousands of times it would be beneficial to keep everything the same if you can.
so basically he "the batter" is just trying to troll everybody into thinking he's cheating when he's not. what a waste of time for everybody. just kick him out of the game for being a douche.
He did hit with it. Did you see how far it went? It went over the fence. There’s a lot of haters in here and he’s a good player. The light is a good player and he’s new and he’s gonna be great probably because I hate Morning get a grip.

@@kriegcore how because he rubbed it in that he got his way like a child? Yeah when you put it like that true...

It's selfish, and it's a great way to get teammates blasted with fastballs. Twenty years ago this would have been a death sentence for the next batter.
The umpires are just doing their job. What literally happened was the coach pointed it out to the hump the then took the bat to investigate the investigated with the MLB and thought that it was illegal so decided to remove the MLB then reached out and said that no, it is legal, so the pull out it, literally all the is doing is his job he handled this situation perfectly
Dumbest thing to get mad about, despite it tracking your “stats” it doesn’t make you hit the ball any more on point or any harder than your skill allows you to. Pure skill👍
Actually it makes the bat tiny bit heavier, so it does hit harder. I mean its probably negligible amount, but if you push it to the limit you might get some sort of advantage. Also you might be able to grip it tiny bit lower.
@@alexh3974if you actually knew what the fuck you were talking about, you would know that it doesnt matter which side of the lever the weight is on, it will still affect its dynamics And that aside, why do you assume the goal would be more weight on the long end of the bat?

Kids at school did similar to others. The best way to describe it is someone not getting their own way and getting upset over it but looking for people to feel bad for them not getting their own way and then mocking them for being upset over something like that. 🙃 Note. If its a legit reason to be upset then pity parties aren't acceptable lol
Funny, if you don't show emotion or passion you don't have "killer mentality", when you do, you're "cocky" sports fans are in a world of their own lol@@Goyxrd3
Please tell me if I’m wrong but the nub would slightly increase the bat length causing a greater moment arm and consequently cause the bat to hit the ball at a greater force
close not wrong though big barrel bats are an advantage abpower hitters bat little guy almost even avg size guys can't use the due the length weight ratio....big barreles are extremely top heavy so sometines to get the edge you can take a top heavy end loaded bat with a big barrel and counter the weight by adding weight to the knob as elly did now I have a solid balanced big barrel bat hope that makes sense
You guys are idiots, it gives more grip to your pinky, if he keeps the bat abit loose in he's hand while swinging the weight of the bat will be mostly at the front, while the knob held mostly by the pinky on the back doesn't let the bat fly out he's hands, it's definitely an advantage, just not illegal, I used to do this with my mini tennis ball, God I'm smart as fuck
how were they messing with him? they saw something illegal and said something. Nobody informed them or the umpires about the exception until the following at bat, at which point the Nationals got their explanation and accepted it
@@valz2282 “the next time he came to the plate, MLB had already told the umpires” means that between the at bats, they told them. If they told them before the game, he would have said it at the beginning of the video during the part about the first at bat and the giant delay 😂 that’s pretty obvious

@@leprechaunbutreallyjustamidgetIt’s completely legal outside of games. Google Statcast also collects that stuff already. The weight changes the feel of the bat, which is why having the tech in there is illegal
Almost certain they can get some swing data thanks to HawkEye to work on his swing between games but I believe the concern is use during games. Keep in mind that players also can't have their phones on them in a game (remember Rodolfo Castro)
He didn’t have that great of season let’s be honest here Eli had up and season with a lot of strikeouts there back in June early July he was doing great then fell off . He definitely had a lot strike outs
As a nationals fan, Davey SUX. the fact he was the world series winning coach was not due to his team leadership and he should have never been put in the roll. For the first 2 years he was coaching he looked lost out there. And now hes just a big baby.
He's a big fucking baby and has acted as such when disputing calls including "swimming" at home plate and throwing bases. Yeah, we don't need "those antics" in baseball. Cruz was also looking at his own dugout when pointing to the knob on his bat. 🤷♂️
This is a random UA-camr pointing out that Elly did something legal. Are you serious or just trolling? I can’t imagine that a single person liking this comment has a high school diploma. So much butthurt.
As a baseball fan and player, I love when you can find something that's comfortable so if you can do that and not need the useless tech inside, power to ya, fuck the salty officials. I'd have done the same thing if I was in the MLB
Well the officials are just going by the rules. When they were told it’s legal they let him use it. Of course some rules are murky and there’s human error
You guys are idiots, it gives more grip to your pinky, if he keeps the bat abit loose in he's hand while swinging the weight of the bat will be mostly at the front, while the knob held mostly by the pinky on the back doesn't let the bat fly out he's hands, it's definitely an advantage, just not illegal, I used to do this with my mini tennis ball, God I'm smart as fuck
MLB needs players like this. Follow the rules, play your game, and throw in a little swagger while you're at it. Let these guys enjoy the game. The fans love it!
What were they supposed to do? Rules are the rules and they had to figure out whether it had a sensor or not and even then it's liekly that the rules aren't entirely clear enough in the wording whether the entire thing is illegal or the sensor alone. The baseball player is just incredibly petty
@@vornamenachname594 More than likely, the Nationals manager made multiple complaints. Was probably told it was okay after the first complaint, but decided to challenge it and refuse to resume play until it was removed. So the umps had it removed while they confirmed with the league.
I mean it sounds like he was asked about it in a press conference, so he had no choice but to address it I blame our 1 star sports reporters for this one
I hate the word "whiny". It's an old school game with old school if it ain't broke, don't fix it type rules. I understand that technology has taken over every aspect of everything we do now a days, but as these things are introduced into things like sports where any little advantage can and will be exploited to someone's advantage, you can't blame people for raising an eyebrow. Specially when were talking about ONE player using this thing out of 2 teams worth of batters
@@kennethmeek-ff4mh because dave martinez is legitimately whiny. he complains about every aspect of opposing players having fun. i'm tired of these managers that sit in their press conferences and complain about bat flips and taunts. it's a competitive game of high emotions, and that's marketable now in a day and age where that's accepted. get over it.
@@kennethmeek-ff4mhwe should be using tech to get an advantage. Just as long as it's available to everyone else, like NASCAR. Gives the best experience imo and the best chance for the sport's continued survival
I actually thought this. If he put something dense there, like a stack of gold coins, he could maybe improve the handling of the bat by redistributing the weight to be more like a sword in that the balance point would end up just ahead of his hands. also F=ma and he'd be adding mass, so there's that too.

Actually it makes the bat tiny bit heavier, so it does hit harder. I mean its probably negligible amount, but if you push it to the limit you might get some sort of advantage. Also you might be able to grip it tiny bit lower.
@@mapu1wrong end pf the lever. Its like a sword Pommel if top heavy ot takes the weight balance further back to the handle not the end of th4 bat
@@alexh3974if you actually knew what the fuck you were talking about, you would know that it doesnt matter which side of the lever the weight is on, it will still affect its dynamics
And that aside, why do you assume the goal would be more weight on the long end of the bat? Have you ever swung a bat in your life? Dding more weight doesnt make you hit better...
@@mapu1and the darwin award goes to
Try telling that to the people who believe steroids make you hit the ball 500 ft right after you use it instead of the regular 490 😅😅

Ouch!!!
He's not even close to being a karen calling out someone breaking the actual written rules of the game, and I say this as a Reds fan lmao
@@xJeremySx Did you not watch? He proved he didn't break the rules. The electronic device was taken out. He was just used to the feel of the clear (you could see the device was not there)holder.

@@destinymarie9409 a pity party is where you guilt people into showing sympathy/pity for you?
@@skinniestmothh sooo when I was younger anytime I'd get upset over something not going my way (I was like 5 😂😪) my brothers and sister would go "looks like she's looking for a pity party. 1.. 2.. 3... awww poor baby" in the most mocking way.
Kids at school did similar to others.
The best way to describe it is someone not getting their own way and getting upset over it but looking for people to feel bad for them not getting their own way and then mocking them for being upset over something like that. 🙃
Note. If its a legit reason to be upset then pity parties aren't acceptable lol
I didn't RSVP to this pity party...I have one of my own to attend
National's manager always has something to cry about.
I bet the doctor slapped his mother when he was born....
Well if they weren't the Nationals they would still be the Montreal Ex-pros.
“He hurt my feelings after I complained about nothing.”
Well, it wasn’t nothing to start with, it had an illegal censor in it. That was the whole point.
@@sedmark6328except it didn’t, the sensor was never inside the knob during the game

"He wasnt a fan of a player doing something perfectly legal and didnt kiss his ass and remove it for no reason." 😂
Please tell me if I’m wrong but the nub would slightly increase the bat length causing a greater moment arm and consequently cause the bat to hit the ball at a greater force
close not wrong though big barrel bats are an advantage abpower hitters bat little guy almost even avg size guys can't use the due the length weight ratio....big barreles are extremely top heavy so sometines to get the edge you can take a top heavy end loaded bat with a big barrel and counter the weight by adding weight to the knob as elly did now I have a solid balanced big barrel bat hope that makes sense
Baseball staff try not to cry lvl: impossible
Baseball fans/players/managers whenever their opponent does anything
You guys are idiots, it gives more grip to your pinky, if he keeps the bat abit loose in he's hand while swinging the weight of the bat will be mostly at the front, while the knob held mostly by the pinky on the back doesn't let the bat fly out he's hands, it's definitely an advantage, just not illegal, I used to do this with my mini tennis ball, God I'm smart as fuck
Any sport for that matter
Let's just say "Anybody whenever anyone does anything."
He’s the type of player that will get people in the seats. I’ll be there when he comes into Pittsburgh.
Yeah maybe once baseball gets faster, I can’t stand the speed of the sport. It’s sooooo sloooow
He pointed to his knob and I took it personally. 😂
Best and most polite move he could have done. Well done.
ua-cam.com/video/S6fj4Pzry6E/v-deo.html part 2
So why were they so hurt? 😂
because it could change the mass of the bat giving him a more powerful swing, it's physics@@idc_cope
They were trying to mess with him and he just hitting back with the Jedi mind tricks! You know that got the nationals team fuming 😂😂😂
how were they messing with him? they saw something illegal and said something. Nobody informed them or the umpires about the exception until the following at bat, at which point the Nationals got their explanation and accepted it
@@aran8143he said in the vid they were informed already it was legal so ur whole argument falls apart
@@valz2282pretty sure it happened on 2 separate occasions. However it is childish from both sides.
@@valz2282 lmao what?? he said in the vid that MLB informed the umpires between at bats and after they made him take it off the first time.
@@valz2282 “the next time he came to the plate, MLB had already told the umpires” means that between the at bats, they told them. If they told them before the game, he would have said it at the beginning of the video during the part about the first at bat and the giant delay 😂 that’s pretty obvious
I love what Ellie did. Pure showmanship. Give us more. If the Nationals didn’t want him to do that, they should have pitched better. 🎉🎉🎉
I agree
YEP pitch better because when he gets on base he will steal at two.
SAY DAT SHIT!! 😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🥳🤪
Him pointing at the knob after crushing that ball was a solid "get effed" moment 😅

They're still pissy about selling off their entire world series team.
This is not a real fing sport wtf is this?!
I think "fuck the managers feelings" if the MLB approved it
That's the best passive aggressive statement ever.
You point at that knob sir. Crushing baseball's like that should be a felony 😂😂😂
Should be legal to have the sensor, thats some sick data
Right like how is collecting data going to affect the game
@@leprechaunbutreallyjustamidgetIt’s completely legal outside of games. Google Statcast also collects that stuff already. The weight changes the feel of the bat, which is why having the tech in there is illegal
Guaranteed within 5 years, everyone has this and the swing data becomes part of the broadcast, sponsored by someone
Almost certain they can get some swing data thanks to HawkEye to work on his swing between games but I believe the concern is use during games. Keep in mind that players also can't have their phones on them in a game (remember Rodolfo Castro)

Hop off lad

He didn’t have that great of season let’s be honest here Eli had up and season with a lot of strikeouts there back in June early July he was doing great then fell off . He definitely had a lot strike outs
Is that why he was batting 8th in September? Face it, the league figured him out, and he's not talking so much anymore.
You do not want to be near Dave when he's mad
This kid is a sparkplug... LOVING watching him play
Loved how he pointed at the knob after he cranked that ball out of the park. 😂
My guy called the whole team a knob.
“So why are you in therapy today”
Ump and catcher”he pointed at his freaking bat knob”
This player is unbelievable I haven't followed baseball in years but seeing the shorts on his talent has rekindled my interest.
Another short with Dave Martinez on the opposing side, MLB just has something against him
This time he was just being a little bitch though
As a nationals fan, Davey SUX. the fact he was the world series winning coach was not due to his team leadership and he should have never been put in the roll. For the first 2 years he was coaching he looked lost out there. And now hes just a big baby.
He's a big fucking baby and has acted as such when disputing calls including "swimming" at home plate and throwing bases. Yeah, we don't need "those antics" in baseball. Cruz was also looking at his own dugout when pointing to the knob on his bat. 🤷♂️
Bad example here.
This is a random UA-camr pointing out that Elly did something legal. Are you serious or just trolling? I can’t imagine that a single person liking this comment has a high school diploma. So much butthurt.
As a baseball fan and player, I love when you can find something that's comfortable so if you can do that and not need the useless tech inside, power to ya, fuck the salty officials. I'd have done the same thing if I was in the MLB
Well the officials are just going by the rules. When they were told it’s legal they let him use it. Of course some rules are murky and there’s human error
You guys are idiots, it gives more grip to your pinky, if he keeps the bat abit loose in he's hand while swinging the weight of the bat will be mostly at the front, while the knob held mostly by the pinky on the back doesn't let the bat fly out he's hands, it's definitely an advantage, just not illegal, I used to do this with my mini tennis ball, God I'm smart as fuck
5 years: “todays swing data is sponsored by the google pixel 13”
MLB needs players like this. Follow the rules, play your game, and throw in a little swagger while you're at it. Let these guys enjoy the game. The fans love it!
Yes sir
This is the Way.
Sports need personality
Ted Williams tipped his cap once in his final at bat in his career. No one will respect or remember this hot dog dbag 70+ years from now
I think some people NEED what they did wrong rubbed in their face to keep them humble otherwise they will always act superior
What were they supposed to do? Rules are the rules and they had to figure out whether it had a sensor or not and even then it's liekly that the rules aren't entirely clear enough in the wording whether the entire thing is illegal or the sensor alone. The baseball player is just incredibly petty
@@vornamenachname594 More than likely, the Nationals manager made multiple complaints. Was probably told it was okay after the first complaint, but decided to challenge it and refuse to resume play until it was removed. So the umps had it removed while they confirmed with the league.
Old school baseball players/coaches are probably the whiniest athletes across any sport. The whole tradition thing is just played out and annoying
Hey! You took .05 seconds to look at your homerun. Let's hit him with a ball next at bat.
I mean it sounds like he was asked about it in a press conference, so he had no choice but to address it
I blame our 1 star sports reporters for this one
I hate the word "whiny". It's an old school game with old school if it ain't broke, don't fix it type rules. I understand that technology has taken over every aspect of everything we do now a days, but as these things are introduced into things like sports where any little advantage can and will be exploited to someone's advantage, you can't blame people for raising an eyebrow. Specially when were talking about ONE player using this thing out of 2 teams worth of batters
@@kennethmeek-ff4mh because dave martinez is legitimately whiny. he complains about every aspect of opposing players having fun. i'm tired of these managers that sit in their press conferences and complain about bat flips and taunts. it's a competitive game of high emotions, and that's marketable now in a day and age where that's accepted. get over it.
@@kennethmeek-ff4mhwe should be using tech to get an advantage. Just as long as it's available to everyone else, like NASCAR. Gives the best experience imo and the best chance for the sport's continued survival
Trolls will troll, and Karens will Karen

Man discovers why swords had pommels at the bottom of the hilt
Did clubs typically have pommels or are you just being a sword nerd
@@RadicalEdward_115yes. Helped make sure it didn’t fly out of your hands during particularly aggressive swings
@@samreid6010 knobs aren't pommels. Pommels are removable
So it serves as a counterweight.
I actually thought this. If he put something dense there, like a stack of gold coins, he could maybe improve the handling of the bat by redistributing the weight to be more like a sword in that the balance point would end up just ahead of his hands. also F=ma and he'd be adding mass, so there's that too.
