Super important context- in a game against the Diamondbacks, Cutch was baited into reaching out for a pitch in a similar way, then was intentionally hit by a pitch in the back. A day later, it was found he had a rib fracture. That was the first actual trip to the DL in his career. Cutch definitely remembers that, and you can tell because he stands so far out. That down and away pitch surely took him back to when he was knocked out in a playoff season.
I remember that. The Bucs broke Goldschmidt's hand earlier in the series. (I don't think it was the same game but I could be wrong.) But they waited til the 8th inning of the (next?) game and threw two pitches low and away before going for his ribs. Bush league. Edit: It was the next game. But in the 9th. Plenty of time for that crap earlier.
figured it had to do with an old injury. felt it was an extreme reaction considering the brewers have hit the Cubs 27 times since 2020. Counsel is crafty little B
I recently revealed the genders of my two girlfriends. It got a lot of hate and now has 30 times more dislikes than likes. I am really sad that people can be so mean. Sorry for using your comment to talk about my problems, dear rea
McCutchen seems like a good dude. Jason Hayward running in like he's going to fight the whole Brewers team during his own team's blowout is unintentionally hilarious.
McCutchen was with the Pirates when they were deliberately throwing pitches at Cubs pitcher Arrieta and he didn’t say anything about that. There is some history there. Like someone prior said, it’s Heyward. Not Hayward.
I feel like the pitcher didn't want to bean him and was having a hard time intentionally throwing at a dude he had no issue with. Even in the last thing when he was telling his coach "he told me to do it on the first pitch." His body language is like how someone would react when you get scolded for doing something you knew was wrong and you deserve it and you know the other guy is right and you feel bad. Great breakdown.
I came down here comment this, forgetting I'd already made a comment, so thanks for validating me. I feel like he was definitely intimidated by Cutch's willingness to be hit.
Then he should come out and say that yes, i was told to do it. But no. I would show no loyalty to a team that wants me to hurt other players. Expose them.
Kid's got no experience. Fuck it. Even if McCutcheon was standing off the plate like that, hit the fucker. You got sent out there to hit their best guy...fucking DO IT and quit wasting people's time. WTF. I hope he learns to fucking do that next time he's told to hit a guy.
@@malikjohnson7950 Yeah he should come out a get blacklisted by every team in the mlb. Look at every time a rookie/young player stand against his team, you dont see them back for a second season lol
The growth of this channel since I started watching... to the point where players are reaching out and telling him what they said instead of Jomboy relying solely on lipreading. Insane
Im not sure if the MLB league is comfortable with lipreading; all these horse shit, fuck..... and NO mask!!! I like it and love baseball more since jomboy do his breakdown; but if only one Marge Simpson in the entire of America is offended...
@Michaël Lamontagne I don't like that you brought up this point...but it is valid and worthy of consideration. I can just imagine one offended Karen getting all this taken away from us...all to protect the 'children'. Yeesh. 😒🤬
Hey! If you throw a comment down on one of my videos, I can send you my email. Just don’t wanna do it on this comment section since it’s a popular channel lol. But I can help you out! I own a business and make shirts, stickers, etc.!
Also showing he's a man of class and sportsmanship. He expected to be the one punished, he accepted it full out, and he encouraged the kid forced to do it. _That's my baseball._
Any pitcher who hits a batter - accidentally or not - should be removed from the game and not allowed to pitch in the teams next meeting. Bet the pitchers could magically stop hitting batters.
As soon as I heard the sarcastically delivered, "The Cubs and the Brewers spent the weekend just hittin' each other with pitches," I just started smiling. So happy you're back, Jomboy. So cool. So original. Keep at it!
Pretty much the Brewers hitting the cubs they hit us 3 times in that game and didn’t get a warning and then the first batter we hit gets ejected and suspended 3 games great job mlb the cubs are just tired of getting hit by the brewers and yet the Brewers are a bunch of pussies
Agree. In a situation like this, young guy brought in specifically to bean a batter, the manager should get the suspension. If it’s a seasoned veteran, like Cole or Verlander, then suspend the pitcher too because it’s just as much their decision. But this young guy has no agency here. He has to do what his manager tells him.
Only in baseball would a manager/coach not be viewed negative for intentionally inflicting harm to another player ….kind of ridiculous to be honest but then again, without baseball wouldn’t be as enjoyable
I get what you mean. Especially for a young pitcher who might get sent down or traded away for not doing what the manager says. But how do you prove a manager told a guy to do it? And hit-batsmen is like fighting in hockey. Sometimes you need it to keep people honest.
I think in this case he got suspended for throwing at the batter multiple times but yes, agree that managers need punishment for the orders they are handing out.
@@trent5843 yup this is what I meant, suspending the pitcher and not the manager makes 0 sense as the manager will be allowed to just use another one of the 15 or whatever pitchers on the roster to hit someone.
@@Wozrop He figured out the suspension part quickly enough. He served a day or two, put in an appeal, made a mound appearance, then withdrew his appeal and served the final game on a day he wouldn't have pitched anyway.
I think it was more that Cutch was SO far outside he was “F this, I can strike this dude out.” Throws the first strike, then he gets scolded by everybody, so he throws at him, but not with much tenacity. Now everyone is like “kid, wtf are you doing? We told you what to do.” So now he really has to hit him. I think it was just a young pitcher in a bad situation.
2 things. 1, I actually reached a new level of appreciation and respect for Cutch for having the stance of "if you're gonna do it, do it, idgaf, just do it." 2, the fact Cutch *actually* contacted Jomboy directly to make sure the lip-reading was perfect is ... awesome. Simply awesome. Awesome thing foe Cutch to do. Awesome for the channel. Awesome way to start a season.
Except that he’s obviously lying and does give a… that’s why he’s throwing a hissy fit. That’s why he stood 4 feet off the plate. He’s CLEARLY not ok with it. His first pitch stance is ridiculous too. The other guys didn’t know when they were gonna get hit and he deserves no such luxury either. Especially standing that far off the plate. I’d of recommended another outside strike while he’s standing that far from the plate tho. Get him down 0-2 and see if he doesn’t move his frightened self a little closer. He has NO moral high ground here
@@respectfullydisagree711 There absolutely is a moral high ground here, and an unspoken rule. Lulling a batter into getting relaxed by throwing honest throws just to try to hit him is precisely the way to injure them. You're telling me all of a sudden, the pitcher just managed to throw more progressively way off almost three times in a row after one good one? The second throw was even ambiguous as to if it was a fair throw or an attempt to hit him. That's way dirtier than just looking to hit the person in a game that's already riddled with hits. You ever play baseball with guys that can pitch past 60mph? You'd get ejected borderline anywhere trying something like that. Accidents happen, but three curved throws in his direction, getting progressively worse and closer to the batter, dude deserves getting ridiculed. At the very, very least, conceal it better
It was a soft breaking ball and he missed which probably rattled him. Cubs pitchers don’t make a habit of this crap like Milwaukee does. And it doesn’t matter if Contreras was hit accidentally when it’s his third time & a couple others were hit in the same damn game. Piss on McCutchen & his poor feelings. Imagine how Contreras feels enduring this bullshit year after year? How about that Cutch? F***ing big baby.
I love how much of a G Cutch is about it. Like, he's not even mad about getting thrown at. He's just agitated that the kid didn't just come right after him. But he also gets that he's young, probably nervous, super inexperienced, so he coaches him up after and is like; "Next time just do that on the 1st pitch and we'll all be fine" 😆 Such a stud about it. Lol
That’s hilarious. The other guys didn’t know when they were gonna get hit and he deserves no such luxury either. It is so funny that you actually think he’s ok with it. He isn’t. It’s why he stood so far off the plate. It’s why he’s clearly throwing a hissy fit too, that you are obviously overlooking. His frightened self was so far off the plate that I’d of recommended another outside strike. Get him down 0-2 and see if he doesn’t creep his scared self up a little closer. Like maybe 3 feet off the plate instead of 5 ft. Then bean him. He is on NO moral high ground here whatsoever
@@respectfullydisagree711 *have. It's funny that you think laying outside to draw him back in, then hitting him, doesn't somehow result in something worse happening. He knew he was going to get hit so he didn't bother digging in and getting settled. The pitcher could have drilled him on the first pitch and saved his own arm the 4 additional pitches. That he didn't, quickly became an obvious sign of nerves. Everyone saw that. Yeah, getting hit by a 90+ mph pitch doesn't feel good. So naturally, his adrenaline is gonna get going a little bit in agitation. Having to wait out all those pitches until he finally got the gumption up to hit him is clearly going to exacerbate that. So yeah, it's entirely natural that he's probably gonna have something to say to let the steam out a little. But his point is valid. "We all know it's coming. Just do it and get it over with so we can all move on, and I don't have to have this shit looming over my head". He's just a veteran, top guy, giving a young kid a good pointer. This is the bigs, everyone knows how the game is played. Everyone is grown and super talented at this level. So just be a man about it and do what you gotta do, and noone will take much offense to it. They all get it. But dragging it out, or baiting a batter, that sends and entirely different message. And that can bring about an entirely different result. That's half the reason the benches cleared. But Cutch is a seasoned vet, and an MVP, which is why he's a leader in his clubhouse. He calmed things down just by talking it out for a second. Clearly we respectfully disagree. But I'll say this, if you go with your approach, you won't be around for long. The umps would toss you. Your coach wouldn't give you the trust of making a call like that with you on the mound, and eventually your team would send you down until you wisened up. These are all elite level athletes playing a game and making a living. 99.9999% of the time noone is deliberately trying to hurt anyone. If they wanted to, they could really damage one another. That's not the point of any of this. Have a nice day kiddo.
Not gonna lie, I feel like cutch kinda has a point. If everyone sees it coming then just get it over with, take your lumps, and keep it moving. I know the pitcher got told to do it but taking that many pitches to do it and playing around before doing it just isn’t the best look.
No, he was lying, dude was standing way out, clearly had no intention of "taking" a hit as he clearly wanted to avoid it. The Brewers are a team full of assholes.
I kinda feel for the kid pitching. Guess he should've done it the first pitch, but after he missed on the second pitch he was in a bind - either do a regular AB and his coach & team think he chickened out or just go through with it and get it over with.
@@cassnate6259 I think his catcher needed to have his back on that one. I kinda think that it's maybe because Cutch was backed off the plate so far that it was a first pitch in the zone?
I absolutely love cutch so much more after this breakdown, and honestly love his mentality on it. You got 1 pitch to throw at me to hit me, after that let’s play ball
Really? Dude is standing like 6 feet off the plate, he was clearly not fine with being hit by the ball, but perfectly okay with his team's ridiculous run of hitting Cubs players.
@@nerofl89 This is a stupid fucking comment. First who wants to be hit but if it has to happen do it on the first go. How do you know how he feels on cubs players being hit? I'm also pretty sure he got fractured ribs while being hit by a pitch so yea I'm standing off the plate. Just admit your a clown.
Certainly some internal hesitation from the pitcher, as to my knowledge he hadn’t been asked to hit anyone in his college or minor career before. While I’m with Cutch here on the “just get it done” point, as well as mocking him for his missed attempts, I think the first strike seems like an effort for plausible deniability to try and avoid getting tossed. Certainly the multiple attempts to hit destroyed that strategy. Somewhat odd in that if he had just hit him on the first attempt post-strike he might have just gotten tossed from that game rather than the subsequent suspension
when I pitched in high school and college I always refused to hit someone on purpose. I want to get them out. Sure I might throw some high and tight heat, and if he gets hit he gets hit. I always thought coming back with a strikeout was better then hitting someone.
I only pitched into college but I can say for me, you spend your whole time trying to locate pitches and obviously not hit batters. To suddenly be told to hit a guy can be harder than it sounds, physically and mentally
@@JHulse29 mentally I'd say over physically. If you can a 90 something fastball over the plate, you can definitely hit a guys ass. I understand why teams do it, but I just wouldn't do it.
@@pokeygorilla9368 it's physically tough too. muscle memory is all about NOT hitting a guy. you have to change basically your whole movement to the left/right to hit a guy, especially when he's standing as far away from the plate as Cutch is here. it feels like trying to hit the dugout from a normal windup
Or, hear me out, don't hit anyone. If you are mad, go beat them. The second baseman running in was stupid. It only escalated things. "Don't show us up" is a dumb thing to say. You tried to hit a guy, poorly. Him yelling about it isn't showing anyone up. The unwritten rules of baseball are inherently dumb.
I don't even follow baseball and I could understand that explanation. Dude. Great job. That's how you get a subscriber. You actually contribute something meaningful to their understanding of the situation. Thanks.
What makes the McCutchen situation even more amusing it that the exact same scenario played out in 2014, when Bruce Bochy sent George Kontos out to hit Cutch, and he missed the first time, but not the second. Cutch is the Frank J. Coppola of HBPs.
The YES partnership is NOTHING compared to Cutch reaching out to MAKE SURE the lip read is done perfectly. IMMACULATELY. When the players themselves make sure their own cameos are voiced right, it's no longer fringe. It's a phenomenon. Well done, Jomboy.
@Seba Tarth Couldn't really at first because he stood so far out, had to bring him in first. If you know its coming and are "fine with it" play by the same unwritten rules and stand in and allow the pitcher to have plausible deniability.
The whole hit-by-pitch and bench clearing culture has got to look so odd to anyone outside of baseball culture. What a strange way for players to govern themselves.
I'm primarily a basketball fan...every time I see one of these videos I'm just baffled. Baseball has so many perceived slights and unspoken rules, it's just bizarre. Feels less and less like a sport when this stuff happens.
@@TheIggyTech Whats baffling? The same type of stuff happens in the nba. Someone takes a hard foul other teammates usually will come to their defense. The only reason the nba benches dont clear anymore is because of the suspensions handed out.
@@tomc5435 what I don't understand is how something like "intentionally hitting someone with a 90mph pitch" turns into a pissing contest. I mean yeah hard fouls happen in the NBA all the time, but there's no unwritten rule that you have to go back and foul the shit out of someone else later on. Or that if you foul someone you gotta do it on the first chance. It's like wtf just accept that you play a sport involving a hard ball flying at you all the time. People will get hit. Why is it okay for pitchers to be told to intentionally hit someone?
@@TheIggyTech Literally watch the nba. It happens all the time. Hell its even happened between these two cities. Grayson Allen fouled and injured Alex Caruso. Bulls came back and had two obvious intentional hard fouls on him the following two times the played.
Cutch has consistently said this, since he got hurt in AZ, they did the same shit. Started him off breaking and he wondered if it's because they want to get him reaching out and get him hurt. He has been saying this for a long time
I remember the night back when Cutch was still in the Burgh, he got nailed between the shoulder blades by an Aroldis Chapman fastball, so that’s probably why Cutch wasn’t really fazed by this HBP.
“Cutch reached out to me to let me know what he said so that I got it right.” Imagine being so good at something that you become well known to the point where people don’t even make you do it. Jomboy actually goated as hell.
Amazing how much these athletes respect dudes like my man throwing down the narrative like a boss , between him and Pat MacAfee putting ESPN and their woke cancel culture agenda to shame
While i agree its cool players are reaching out... i think it could be out of necessity for their reputation rather then a tip of the hat to jomboy. If i was a well known athelete id make sure the guy famous for reading lips to know what i said too. Lips can be read wrong and you dont wanna be out here looking like you said something you didnt say.
Cutch, LoCain, and Yeli.. man. I know Cain is past the prime of his career at this point, but if you had all three of these dudes at their peak, it may be one of the most like-able outfields all time. And super talented. Just reminiscing on the 2013-15 Royals here, don’t mind me.
Back in the day, for me at least, the Twins had Torri Hunter, Jacque Jones and Shannon Stewart. Those three dudes may have made the most likable outfield that I can remember. It was like the second soul patrol or something as a nickname.
I honestly have never seen a player that understands what needs to happen and not only accepts it, but basically enforces it by saying “if you’re going to do it, do it on the first pitch.” He totally showed up that pitcher, but it wasn’t his intention. Cutch is a bad ass for that one, if the astros acted like that while getting beamed they might’ve gotten off easier but no. Cutch simply acted the way I feel most players should act. Innocent or not you’re part of the team and messages are sent, whatever happens after that shouldn’t bring bad blood.
He’s exactly right in my opinion. There are unwritten rules in every sport. He knows he’s getting hit. He understands why. He’s fine with it. There is a correct way to do it though and that’s all he’s saying. Play with class. Play with respect. McCutchen ❤️
These unwritten rules are downright moronic. It is just straight pettiness... unwritten rules? What a load of crap.. how about the league make some hard rules and serious punishment for this kind of crap. Unreal, no wonder this sport is almost always on a decline. Every sport has problems with sportsmanship, but baseball takes the cake by miles
Im a die hard Brewers fan and both teams have been beaning each other for the past 2 years. Both teams need to expect it and once it happens expect it to keep happening. Respect to Cub fans everywhere, youre good folks.
If this is actually what McCutchen said, I then have that much more respect for him. And that includes watching him hit the ball hard when he was a Pirate against my Cubs.
Always loved Cutch. Never even played for my team, and he’s played for plenty, but I feel like he’s always been a class act, guy who really loves and respects the game.
Cutch may be the classiest, knowledgable, most respected, coolest player in the last 15 years. He knows and gets shit. So if he's pissed off you know you did something wrong.
If he was so classy & respectful he would have said something to his own new teammates about constantly hitting the Cubs players over & over & over literary every time the 2 teams played
@@joshuashoup4261 Right. He decided that since he was going to get hit, he was going to make it as obvious as possible by standing that far off the plate. You have to be intentionally hitting a guy to hit one standing that far off the plate.
Interesting sport. Apparently if you're up by a certain number of runs, you shouldn't swing-away for fear of hurting the pitcher's feelings, and coaches will teach you better if you happen to hit a home run on the first pitch. But then I see a game like this where the pitcher can be ordered to just shell your team with pitches, even when they're already up 9-0. ⚾
To be fair, I don't know why they bothered to hit anyone. I mean sure, the Brewers hit *three* of the Cubs players this game, but one of those HBP's ***drove in a run*** so they were just hurting themselves. lol. If you're gonna give me free runs, I'll have my players take the hits so long as they're not getting hit in the head. Eventually MLB is gonna have to start fining these fuckers for this shit.
@M P Oh I know the reason, I was being sarcastic. I'm not mad about it either, I hate the Brewers as an organization, they're worse than the 90's Pistons in the NBA.
No! If he was he would have realized it’s part of the game when your pitcher hits the opponent 5 or 6 times. All because he missed him 3 times. Cubs pitchers aren’t used to hitting people on purpose. They don’t practice it like his team does now. He should blame the garbage pitchers for getting him plunked. Hell, he almost got walked because the pitcher was so bad at hitting him. It wasn’t a grande conspiracy against your poor baby Cutch.😭
One of the reasons I just love Cutch...he's ole school baseball! He handed out some education to the young lad so next time, he knows better. I think the Crew get's sixteen more meetings with the Cubs. This will, as always, be interesting!
I’m surprised Jomboy didn’t emphasize that the first pitch cutter/slider was definitely on the outside part of the zone in order to get Cutch to come in closer to the plate. That way, it’s more passable as an accident than if he hits Cutch and he’s at the far edge of the batter’s box away from the plate.
You gotta do one on the Braves/Nats multiple pickle rundown that led to both runners safe and a Braves run. Plus, you should throw in Dee Strange-Gordon plunking Travis d'Arnaud with a 56mph fb that nearly killed Trav
I'm with Cutch on this one. Though maybe the Cubs thought get one over 1st to maybe avoid gettin tossed? idk ... but yeah 1 shot. Similar thing happened with Shawn Estes back in the day with the Giants, basically ruined his cred for a long time
@M P It's hilarious that anyone liked this comment. Cubs fans are so delusional like its only Brewers hitting Cubs and not the other way round. Everyone including Cutch knew this arm was brought in to hit him.....so do it. Don't pretend its a real at bat and you are trying to be competitive. Throw at him, fk off, and let the game continue. Cubs can't even get intentionally beaning hitters right.
@M P a hit by pitch is different from a “bean”. The only one that was clearly intentional was the one on Cutch, that’s a beanball. Nobody is complaining about the Yelich one because it was clearly not intentional. Also, the Brewers have only hit the Cubs with one more pitch since 2020. So it’s mutual.
IF the Cubs thought that they are idiots. Cutch was standing so far off the plate that you have to intentionally throw at him to hit him. There is no way you can make that look like it was unintentional.
@M P LOL none of them were beans except the Cubs beaning Cutch. Also, the Cubs have hit the Brewers with just as many pitches the last couple of seasons Get off the high horse. Oh and by the way, He stood that far off to ensure the pitcher got tossed by making it completely obvious it was intnetional. .
@M P He wasn't complaining. He was simply telling the pitcher that if you are going to intentionally throw at him, do it on pitch one. Don't wait until pitch 3. Everyone knows he was ordered to bean Cutch. Just do it. The fact that they thought they could make it look unintentional by throwing in the zone first just makes the Cubs look even dumber when everyone knows you are going to hit him intentionally and Cutch makes it even more obvious by standing that far off the plate..
A warning should have been issued when Happ got hit. It was pretty clear it was intentional and it was what the 2nd or 3rd hit batter of the game. The first one or two may not have been intentional but the one at Happ definitely was. I agree with the ejection but the suspensions to Thompson and Ross are kind of ridiculous.
I hate the punk ass “hold me back!” move Heyward did. There’s always THAT guy who comes in hauling ass trying to be a hardass knowing damn well they aren’t going to do anything. Mainly because people will intervene before he gets there, but even they didn’t, it’d just be a “that’s not nice” yell match.
@J G he was beyond overrated and he wasn’t even “rated” very highly. And for some reason they insist on keeping him around. I’m actually a Brewers fan but my good friend is a die hard cubs fan and he can’t stand Heyward lol
Since 2020, the Brewers have hit Cubs hitters 27 times; Cubs pitchers have hit the Brewers 26 times. On the receiving end of many of those has been Contreras, who has been hit 12 times since the beginning of the abbreviated 2020 season.
9-0 cubs and Brewers are just beaming cubs players all game. Young kid throws at one Brewer and gets suspended for 3 games while noone on the Brewers gets suspended? Umps just made all this worse.
@@jscott6 Hey man I am a Cubs fan, but both teams are guilty on plunking one another. It’s just wild how no Brewers players have been suspend for hitting Contreras.
@@jscott6 Name one of the Brewers HBP against Chicago that was intentional. Then go back and watch Contreras literally say on live television that last year they intentionally threw at the Brewers starting pitcher (Woodruff). And then tell him that when you lean over the plate and your weakness is the inside pitch, sometimes you're going to get hit.
@@6Snaus My point is was that from that entire game when players were getting hit left and right, only the Cubs player was suspended. Right or wrong, that is only going to fuel the tension between the Brewers and Cubs going forward. If it was just throwing at a player to get even, fine, but MLB decided to officially take the Brewers side which won't solve anything.
Heyward may suck, but he’s no more of a clown than McCutchen. McCutchen whined like a little bitch when he got plunked on the leg. Contreras was hit 5 times in that series. He wasn’t happy about it, but said nothing. Catchers get beat up enough as it is without getting plunked twice a day. I’ve never liked McCutchen from day one. There’s really just something about his attitude that rubs me the wrong way. This really didn’t help that situation at all. Such a freaking cry baby. 😭 He’s a good player, but don’t respect him too much aside from that. He wanted out of Shittsburg, & has gone downhill every season since. Be careful what you wish for, huh? He’s just another dude out there now, nothing special anymore. He hasn’t been since 2015.
If Heyward wanted to be tough he should play football. Very few actual tough guys in Baseball. More than soccer, but Football, hockey and even basketball players got nothing to fear from guys who ROUTINELY MISS GAMES GETTING HURT IN THEIR OWN HOMES and allow themselves to get bullied by fat old white guys - the obese umps.
Jomboy needs to talk about this umpiring Saturday Jays and A’s game. Thus umpire was atrocious. They need to watch the replays their mistakes. Do they even review their performances?
@@toxicvillain - yo the Umpire was atrocious for the the Jays game on Saturday Vs the A’s. Not just for the Jays but for the A’s as well. It was bad. Umpires need to get called out when they execute their job horribly. Make a video on how shitty this guy actually was.

@@fw8465 I understand that, but in this situation, don’t throw to the guy like you’re going to give him something he can hit if you plan on hitting him. I’ve been a die hard Cubs fan since day 1, but this isn’t right no matter how you look at it.
@@marvinjaywilliamsiii cubs fan by birth. Don’t care how the message was delivered, just that it was understood. Stop hitting our catcher. Remember, he calls the pitches so you have to be a real moron to think it wasn’t coming. Look up Perez, braves, padres.
When I pitched during the seventies I can honestly say that I never hit a batter intentionally.I always felt that a strikeout was of better effect for that kind of situation ⚾️
I've gotta agree with Cutch. It's bogus to draw him in on the first pitch, but that's the lesser offense. That dude took 3 throws at Cutch, and turned that at bat into a one sided game of dodgeball with the potential for serious injury. If he's not good enough to hit a person at all, then why should we believe he's not gonna hit him in the head/neck area? I'd agree with Cutch then, either you're good enough to do it right, or you shouldn't be doing it at all. You can change someone's life up there.
If you’re doing a breakdown, it doesn’t take much effort to google that #71 for the Cubs is Keegan Thompson not “the kid”. He’s not Cutch but he’s a major leaguer too. He has earned his spot and deserves the recognition. It’s not like this is his debut or anything either. Spent significant time up in the big leagues last year too.
To be fair, the kid looks like he's about to shave his face for the first time, and now he's being asked to throw at a grown man. He knows it could have been an inverse of Ryan vs Ventura.
When Cutch is that far off the plate he knows he can't claim it was an accident. YOu hae to intentionally throw at a guy to hit him when he is that far off the plate.
Funniest part is that Cutch didn't need to reach out, his lips are super clear to read for a pro. This is an unwritten baseball rule that makes more sense, unlike the 3-0 don't swing nonsense.
Fun fact. Over the last couple years, the brewers have only the cubs 1 more time (maybe a couple more after the start of this year) than the cubs have hit the brewers
Important context: Willson Contreras has been the recipient of most of those HBPs. I understand the HBPs team to team are fairly even, but the Contreras factor makes me think at the very least that part is intentional. I can get behind the fact the Cubs and Brewers have generally wild pitching which accounts for a decent chunk of those HBPs, but when most are focused toward one player, that’s what makes me think it’s at least partially intentional.
@@ChargerBulldogs19 Contreras crowds the plate more than any Cub in recent memory, Rizzo included. Milwaukee's strategy to pitch to him has always to bust him inside so he can't get his arms extended. He's gotten hit a lot because he doesn't give an inch while standing damn near on top of the plate. Then he gets pissy when he gets hit and looks for retaliation. He admitted as much last year that they were trying to hit Woodruff.
@@meltingface2558 no they don't. They pitch him in because that's how they want to pitch to him. It's probably the weakest area for him to hit. Why would the Brewers keep doing it on purpose?
My issue is that look at the score, the Cubs were up by nine runs to Milwaukee's nill. Why are they hitting batters, it serve no purpose with a score that wide of a margin.
@@darthrevan2957 That's what some pitchers on teams do when they're frustrate that they're pitching well but have no offense to back their good performance
"Cutch reached out and wanted to let me know what he said."
We have transcended.
Cutch always a class act
Jomboy was obviously joking lol
@@Mike-cu5ih nope, Cutch reached out to Trevor and he told Jimmy on talkin' baseball
Anyway, those are his rules for hitting batters. Hes cool with that shit, bro.
@@cotydinsmore4868 He’s a hall of famer
Super important context- in a game against the Diamondbacks, Cutch was baited into reaching out for a pitch in a similar way, then was intentionally hit by a pitch in the back. A day later, it was found he had a rib fracture. That was the first actual trip to the DL in his career. Cutch definitely remembers that, and you can tell because he stands so far out. That down and away pitch surely took him back to when he was knocked out in a playoff season.
surprised jomboy missed this tbh
I remember that. The Bucs broke Goldschmidt's hand earlier in the series. (I don't think it was the same game but I could be wrong.) But they waited til the 8th inning of the (next?) game and threw two pitches low and away before going for his ribs. Bush league.
Edit: It was the next game. But in the 9th. Plenty of time for that crap earlier.
Wow! Thank you for this context. Hope more read this comment
I was hoping someone would remember this
figured it had to do with an old injury. felt it was an extreme reaction considering the brewers have hit the Cubs 27 times since 2020. Counsel is crafty little B
Jomboy on a whole nother level this season, players reaching out to make sure their lips are read perfectly
He's cool with that sh**, bro.
100% you know you've earned the respect of players when they do stuff like that.
I recently revealed the genders of my two girlfriends. It got a lot of hate and now has 30 times more dislikes than likes. I am really sad that people can be so mean. Sorry for using your comment to talk about my problems, dear rea
“nother” is not a word my guy.
That's an unfair advantage to be calling this lip reading
McCutchen seems like a good dude. Jason Hayward running in like he's going to fight the whole Brewers team during his own team's blowout is unintentionally hilarious.
*Heyward
McCutchen was with the Pirates when they were deliberately throwing pitches at Cubs pitcher Arrieta and he didn’t say anything about that. There is some history there. Like someone prior said, it’s Heyward. Not Hayward.

@@tacticoolalan368 Dumbest comment on the post!
I feel like the pitcher didn't want to bean him and was having a hard time intentionally throwing at a dude he had no issue with. Even in the last thing when he was telling his coach "he told me to do it on the first pitch." His body language is like how someone would react when you get scolded for doing something you knew was wrong and you deserve it and you know the other guy is right and you feel bad. Great breakdown.
I came down here comment this, forgetting I'd already made a comment, so thanks for validating me. I feel like he was definitely intimidated by Cutch's willingness to be hit.
Then he should come out and say that yes, i was told to do it. But no. I would show no loyalty to a team that wants me to hurt other players. Expose them.
100%
Kid's got no experience. Fuck it. Even if McCutcheon was standing off the plate like that, hit the fucker. You got sent out there to hit their best guy...fucking DO IT and quit wasting people's time. WTF. I hope he learns to fucking do that next time he's told to hit a guy.
@@malikjohnson7950 Yeah he should come out a get blacklisted by every team in the mlb.

The growth of this channel since I started watching... to the point where players are reaching out and telling him what they said instead of Jomboy relying solely on lipreading. Insane
Jomboy's humble brag. I approve!
it’s really been a min. lip readings were classics but i’m glad he’s here
Im not sure if the MLB league is comfortable with lipreading; all these horse shit, fuck..... and NO mask!!! I like it and love baseball more since jomboy do his breakdown; but if only one Marge Simpson in the entire of America is offended...

"If you're going to intentionally hit a batter, do it on the first pitch"

Pretty much the Brewers hitting the cubs they hit us 3 times in that game and didn’t get a warning and then the first batter we hit gets ejected and suspended 3 games great job mlb the cubs are just tired of getting hit by the brewers and yet the Brewers are a bunch of pussies

@@StainlessSteelPolish Listen to the tone, dude, the nuance, if you're capable.
@@shanekraus9905 subtlety and sarcasm are not synonyms
Why are we suspending pitchers? When this happens managers need to be suspended too... obviously he didn’t do that on his own
Agree. In a situation like this, young guy brought in specifically to bean a batter, the manager should get the suspension. If it’s a seasoned veteran, like Cole or Verlander, then suspend the pitcher too because it’s just as much their decision. But this young guy has no agency here. He has to do what his manager tells him.
Only in baseball would a manager/coach not be viewed negative for intentionally inflicting harm to another player ….kind of ridiculous to be honest but then again, without baseball wouldn’t be as enjoyable
I get what you mean. Especially for a young pitcher who might get sent down or traded away for not doing what the manager says. But how do you prove a manager told a guy to do it? And hit-batsmen is like fighting in hockey. Sometimes you need it to keep people honest.
I think in this case he got suspended for throwing at the batter multiple times but yes, agree that managers need punishment for the orders they are handing out.
@@trent5843 yup this is what I meant, suspending the pitcher and not the manager makes 0 sense as the manager will be allowed to just use another one of the 15 or whatever pitchers on the roster to hit someone.
Kid pitcher was probably scared to throw at him. He was talking himself into it after a couple of pitches...
That was when that kid realized the MLB wasn't what he thought it was.
Hell I figure he just wants to make it look unintentional because he doesn't wanna get suspended
@@Wozrop He figured out the suspension part quickly enough. He served a day or two, put in an appeal, made a mound appearance, then withdrew his appeal and served the final game on a day he wouldn't have pitched anyway.
I think it was more that Cutch was SO far outside he was “F this, I can strike this dude out.” Throws the first strike, then he gets scolded by everybody, so he throws at him, but not with much tenacity. Now everyone is like “kid, wtf are you doing? We told you what to do.” So now he really has to hit him. I think it was just a young pitcher in a bad situation.
Or maybe he was raised right and was struggling with compromising his ethics to further his career.
2 things.
1, I actually reached a new level of appreciation and respect for Cutch for having the stance of "if you're gonna do it, do it, idgaf, just do it."
2, the fact Cutch *actually* contacted Jomboy directly to make sure the lip-reading was perfect is ... awesome. Simply awesome. Awesome thing foe Cutch to do. Awesome for the channel. Awesome way to start a season.
Except that he’s obviously lying and does give a… that’s why he’s throwing a hissy fit. That’s why he stood 4 feet off the plate.
He’s CLEARLY not ok with it.
His first pitch stance is ridiculous too.
The other guys didn’t know when they were gonna get hit and he deserves no such luxury either.
Especially standing that far off the plate.
I’d of recommended another outside strike while he’s standing that far from the plate tho. Get him down 0-2 and see if he doesn’t move his frightened self a little closer.
He has NO moral high ground here
Do you really think he reached out to him lol
@@respectfullydisagree711 I'd like to see you after somebody beans you in your beer league. I'm sure you wouldn't be as composed as Cutch.
@@respectfullydisagree711 I respectfully disagree with you.
@@respectfullydisagree711 There absolutely is a moral high ground here, and an unspoken rule. Lulling a batter into getting relaxed by throwing honest throws just to try to hit him is precisely the way to injure them. You're telling me all of a sudden, the pitcher just managed to throw more progressively way off almost three times in a row after one good one? The second throw was even ambiguous as to if it was a fair throw or an attempt to hit him. That's way dirtier than just looking to hit the person in a game that's already riddled with hits. You ever play baseball with guys that can pitch past 60mph? You'd get ejected borderline anywhere trying something like that. Accidents happen, but three curved throws in his direction, getting progressively worse and closer to the batter, dude deserves getting ridiculed. At the very, very least, conceal it better
As soon as I saw this live I was thinking "this is gonna be a good Jomboy breakdown".
Lmao i koveeeee The reaction to things when I see them live
WTF I never expected to see you watching Jomboy videos. Also, need that Scream 5 breakdown on the things I missed.

Fancy seeing you here. Good to see I’m not the the only horror creator that enjoys baseball 😂
@@juiicex2 same
the players reaching out to Jomboy to tell him what theyre saying....this channel is next level.
Cutch was so confused on that first pitch. You could tell he was ready to brace for impact 🤣
It was a soft breaking ball and he missed which probably rattled him. Cubs pitchers don’t make a habit of this crap like Milwaukee does. And it doesn’t matter if Contreras was hit accidentally when it’s his third time & a couple others were hit in the same damn game. Piss on McCutchen & his poor feelings. Imagine how Contreras feels enduring this bullshit year after year? How about that Cutch? F***ing big baby.
Lol he was like 10 ft away from the box
Cutch has been hit so often, especially back when he was with the Pirates. He's just become resigned to it.
Same with Contreras, if memory serves he was actually the most hit player in the league last season.
So resigned he throws a fit.
Interesting take
So resigned he stands 5 ft off the plate.
Interesting take
@@respectfullydisagree711 bro why are you so pressed lmao go outside
@@respectfullydisagree711 Interesting take
I love how much of a G Cutch is about it. Like, he's not even mad about getting thrown at. He's just agitated that the kid didn't just come right after him. But he also gets that he's young, probably nervous, super inexperienced, so he coaches him up after and is like; "Next time just do that on the 1st pitch and we'll all be fine" 😆
Such a stud about it. Lol
That’s hilarious.
The other guys didn’t know when they were gonna get hit and he deserves no such luxury either.
It is so funny that you actually think he’s ok with it. He isn’t. It’s why he stood so far off the plate. It’s why he’s clearly throwing a hissy fit too, that you are obviously overlooking.
His frightened self was so far off the plate that I’d of recommended another outside strike. Get him down 0-2 and see if he doesn’t creep his scared self up a little closer. Like maybe 3 feet off the plate instead of 5 ft.
Then bean him.
He is on NO moral high ground here whatsoever
@@respectfullydisagree711 *have.
It's funny that you think laying outside to draw him back in, then hitting him, doesn't somehow result in something worse happening.
He knew he was going to get hit so he didn't bother digging in and getting settled. The pitcher could have drilled him on the first pitch and saved his own arm the 4 additional pitches. That he didn't, quickly became an obvious sign of nerves. Everyone saw that. Yeah, getting hit by a 90+ mph pitch doesn't feel good. So naturally, his adrenaline is gonna get going a little bit in agitation. Having to wait out all those pitches until he finally got the gumption up to hit him is clearly going to exacerbate that. So yeah, it's entirely natural that he's probably gonna have something to say to let the steam out a little. But his point is valid. "We all know it's coming. Just do it and get it over with so we can all move on, and I don't have to have this shit looming over my head".
He's just a veteran, top guy, giving a young kid a good pointer. This is the bigs, everyone knows how the game is played. Everyone is grown and super talented at this level. So just be a man about it and do what you gotta do, and noone will take much offense to it. They all get it. But dragging it out, or baiting a batter, that sends and entirely different message. And that can bring about an entirely different result. That's half the reason the benches cleared. But Cutch is a seasoned vet, and an MVP, which is why he's a leader in his clubhouse. He calmed things down just by talking it out for a second.
Clearly we respectfully disagree. But I'll say this, if you go with your approach, you won't be around for long. The umps would toss you. Your coach wouldn't give you the trust of making a call like that with you on the mound, and eventually your team would send you down until you wisened up. These are all elite level athletes playing a game and making a living. 99.9999% of the time noone is deliberately trying to hurt anyone. If they wanted to, they could really damage one another. That's not the point of any of this.
Have a nice day kiddo.
Wild series to start off the season. 158 games to go!
Hahahaha
Wayyy too many games
Let’s Go Cubs!!
I can't wait until this garbage "sport" is done. I really wish the lockout had just gone on forever.
@@jonmendelson1104 lol
Not gonna lie, I feel like cutch kinda has a point. If everyone sees it coming then just get it over with, take your lumps, and keep it moving. I know the pitcher got told to do it but taking that many pitches to do it and playing around before doing it just isn’t the best look.
No, he was lying, dude was standing way out, clearly had no intention of "taking" a hit as he clearly wanted to avoid it. The Brewers are a team full of assholes.
well even more importantly, tricking a dude into believing it's gonna be a normal AB and causing him to let his guard down is dangerous and stupid.
I kinda feel for the kid pitching. Guess he should've done it the first pitch, but after he missed on the second pitch he was in a bind - either do a regular AB and his coach & team think he chickened out or just go through with it and get it over with.
@@cassnate6259 I think his catcher needed to have his back on that one. I kinda think that it's maybe because Cutch was backed off the plate so far that it was a first pitch in the zone?
Total bitch move. Not the kids fault. Cubs bench is pathetic for calling those pitches.
I've always respected McCutchen's attitude about the game.
McCutchen is an underrated gem for baseball.
Love Cutch, he’s a perfect fit for them and reaching out is awesome
Will always love Cutch. thankful for his time in Philly.
Cutch is great, very sincere dude
As a giants fan I enjoyed him on my team as well
Class Act.
The entire state of Pennsylvania loves him. Philly and Pittsburgh disagree about a lot of stuff, but we can both admit that Cutch is awesome.
Brewers fan here, can't wait to see how he likes it with our Crew. Glad to hear from so many what a great guy he is.
I absolutely love cutch so much more after this breakdown, and honestly love his mentality on it. You got 1 pitch to throw at me to hit me, after that let’s play ball
Really? Dude is standing like 6 feet off the plate, he was clearly not fine with being hit by the ball, but perfectly okay with his team's ridiculous run of hitting Cubs players.
I get it. Don’t bait me further in and hit me on pitch 4.
lol we can hit your guys whenever we want but if you want to hit me you have to do it on my terms gtf outta here
@@nerofl89 This is a stupid fucking comment. First who wants to be hit but if it has to happen do it on the first go. How do you know how he feels on cubs players being hit? I'm also pretty sure he got fractured ribs while being hit by a pitch so yea I'm standing off the plate. Just admit your a clown.
Did you watch? He got in close after that. And the guy missed twice
Certainly some internal hesitation from the pitcher, as to my knowledge he hadn’t been asked to hit anyone in his college or minor career before. While I’m with Cutch here on the “just get it done” point, as well as mocking him for his missed attempts, I think the first strike seems like an effort for plausible deniability to try and avoid getting tossed. Certainly the multiple attempts to hit destroyed that strategy. Somewhat odd in that if he had just hit him on the first attempt post-strike he might have just gotten tossed from that game rather than the subsequent suspension
when I pitched in high school and college I always refused to hit someone on purpose. I want to get them out. Sure I might throw some high and tight heat, and if he gets hit he gets hit. I always thought coming back with a strikeout was better then hitting someone.
I only pitched into college but I can say for me, you spend your whole time trying to locate pitches and obviously not hit batters. To suddenly be told to hit a guy can be harder than it sounds, physically and mentally
@@JHulse29 mentally I'd say over physically. If you can a 90 something fastball over the plate, you can definitely hit a guys ass. I understand why teams do it, but I just wouldn't do it.
@@pokeygorilla9368 it's physically tough too. muscle memory is all about NOT hitting a guy. you have to change basically your whole movement to the left/right to hit a guy, especially when he's standing as far away from the plate as Cutch is here. it feels like trying to hit the dugout from a normal windup
Or, hear me out, don't hit anyone. If you are mad, go beat them. The second baseman running in was stupid. It only escalated things. "Don't show us up" is a dumb thing to say. You tried to hit a guy, poorly. Him yelling about it isn't showing anyone up. The unwritten rules of baseball are inherently dumb.
I don't even follow baseball and I could understand that explanation. Dude. Great job. That's how you get a subscriber. You actually contribute something meaningful to their understanding of the situation. Thanks.
What makes the McCutchen situation even more amusing it that the exact same scenario played out in 2014, when Bruce Bochy sent George Kontos out to hit Cutch, and he missed the first time, but not the second. Cutch is the Frank J. Coppola of HBPs.
The YES partnership is NOTHING compared to Cutch reaching out to MAKE SURE the lip read is done perfectly. IMMACULATELY.
When the players themselves make sure their own cameos are voiced right, it's no longer fringe. It's a phenomenon. Well done, Jomboy.
Couldn't be truer!
Cutch is probably the most wholesome player in baseball. Dude literally got hit with a pitch intentionally and was like “Good job” lol
@Seba Tarth Couldn't really at first because he stood so far out, had to bring him in first. If you know its coming and are "fine with it" play by the same unwritten rules and stand in and allow the pitcher to have plausible deniability.
He's a real good human.
@Seba Tarth that was because Cutch was so far out. Had to throw out to get him to come in.
@@jordancrosno9711 He stands so far out cause this shit happened to him before and got his rib

The whole hit-by-pitch and bench clearing culture has got to look so odd to anyone outside of baseball culture. What a strange way for players to govern themselves.
I'm primarily a basketball fan...every time I see one of these videos I'm just baffled. Baseball has so many perceived slights and unspoken rules, it's just bizarre. Feels less and less like a sport when this stuff happens.
@@TheIggyTech most of the rules are stupid and make the game less fun for player to play and watchers to watch
@@TheIggyTech Whats baffling? The same type of stuff happens in the nba. Someone takes a hard foul other teammates usually will come to their defense. The only reason the nba benches dont clear anymore is because of the suspensions handed out.
@@tomc5435 what I don't understand is how something like "intentionally hitting someone with a 90mph pitch" turns into a pissing contest. I mean yeah hard fouls happen in the NBA all the time, but there's no unwritten rule that you have to go back and foul the shit out of someone else later on. Or that if you foul someone you gotta do it on the first chance. It's like wtf just accept that you play a sport involving a hard ball flying at you all the time. People will get hit. Why is it okay for pitchers to be told to intentionally hit someone?
@@TheIggyTech Literally watch the nba. It happens all the time. Hell its even happened between these two cities. Grayson Allen fouled and injured Alex Caruso. Bulls came back and had two obvious intentional hard fouls on him the following two times the played.
Cutch has consistently said this, since he got hurt in AZ, they did the same shit. Started him off breaking and he wondered if it's because they want to get him reaching out and get him hurt. He has been saying this for a long time
I remember the night back when Cutch was still in the Burgh, he got nailed between the shoulder blades by an Aroldis Chapman fastball, so that’s probably why Cutch wasn’t really fazed by this HBP.
Oh God, Internationaly hit by champion would suck.... Mf throws it from like 55 feet on top of 105 mph.
Holy crap, players are reaching out to Jomboy to just straight up let everyone know what is being said?? This is gonna be a fun year!

Cutch, LoCain, and Yeli.. man. I know Cain is past the prime of his career at this point, but if you had all three of these dudes at their peak, it may be one of the most like-able outfields all time. And super talented. Just reminiscing on the 2013-15 Royals here, don’t mind me.
Back in the day, for me at least, the Twins had Torri Hunter, Jacque Jones and Shannon Stewart. Those three dudes may have made the most likable outfield that I can remember. It was like the second soul patrol or something as a nickname.
As a Brewers fan, I always said "When do they get McCutchen". I do wish it had been a little sooner, though.
Here we go with the phantom o in his name again
I honestly have never seen a player that understands what needs to happen and not only accepts it, but basically enforces it by saying “if you’re going to do it, do it on the first pitch.” He totally showed up that pitcher, but it wasn’t his intention. Cutch is a bad ass for that one, if the astros acted like that while getting beamed they might’ve gotten off easier but no. Cutch simply acted the way I feel most players should act. Innocent or not you’re part of the team and messages are sent, whatever happens after that shouldn’t bring bad blood.
He’s exactly right in my opinion. There are unwritten rules in every sport. He knows he’s getting hit. He understands why. He’s fine with it. There is a correct way to do it though and that’s all he’s saying. Play with class. Play with respect. McCutchen ❤️

Cutch may be the classiest, knowledgable, most respected, coolest player in the last 15 years. He knows and gets shit. So if he's pissed off you know you did something wrong.
@M P would you like to hit by a baseball coming at over 90mph? It’s almost never easy to stand in and get hit
no he was just showing up a rookie pitcher.
If he was so classy & respectful he would have said something to his own new teammates about constantly hitting the Cubs players over & over & over literary every time the 2 teams played
@M P He was trolling the pitcher. Letting him know he knew what was coming.
@M P apparently contreras doesn't know where to stand in the box. Considering half the time he gets hit its a strike.

“I’m cool wit dat shit bro!” This is a great channel.
Interesting sport. Apparently if you're up by a certain number of runs, you shouldn't swing-away for fear of hurting the pitcher's feelings, and coaches will teach you better if you happen to hit a home run on the first pitch. But then I see a game like this where the pitcher can be ordered to just shell your team with pitches, even when they're already up 9-0. ⚾
To be fair, I don't know why they bothered to hit anyone. I mean sure, the Brewers hit *three* of the Cubs players this game, but one of those HBP's ***drove in a run*** so they were just hurting themselves. lol. If you're gonna give me free runs, I'll have my players take the hits so long as they're not getting hit in the head. Eventually MLB is gonna have to start fining these fuckers for this shit.
@M P Oh I know the reason, I was being sarcastic. I'm not mad about it either, I hate the Brewers as an organization, they're worse than the 90's Pistons in the NBA.

@@Scorpious187 LOL this is delusional. One of the dumbest things I have ever read.
@@chriskay1449 No, I meant the Brewers pitchers who've been doing this to the Cubs players (especially Contreras) for the past, I dunno, four seasons?
As I was watching this, I remember vividly thinking, “hahaha, what the hell is Heyward doing?”
Sprints.
wasting his time to just come in and flap his gums
Trying to justify the monster contract the cubs gave him.
Jomboy your breakdowns are so incredibly accurate and so immensely enjoyable.
Cutch is old school baseball class. He seems like a good guy.
No! If he was he would have realized it’s part of the game when your pitcher hits the opponent 5 or 6 times. All because he missed him 3 times. Cubs pitchers aren’t used to hitting people on purpose. They don’t practice it like his team does now. He should blame the garbage pitchers for getting him plunked. Hell, he almost got walked because the pitcher was so bad at hitting him. It wasn’t a grande conspiracy against your poor baby Cutch.😭
We gotta make a t-shirt out of that:
“Do it the first time, Bro!”
Love the Cutch-Man since his Pirates days. Wish the Yanks had kept him.
One of the reasons I just love Cutch...he's ole school baseball! He handed out some education to the young lad so next time, he knows better. I think the Crew get's sixteen more meetings with the Cubs. This will, as always, be interesting!
Such toxicity tho
Or just don't intentionally bean hitters and play the game?
I miss Cutch, it was a short stay with the Phils but he was a favorite while he was here.
I really love watching your videos, I alwAys see them late but I see them. Good times had by all involved!! Love you jomboy!!
Loved Cutch when he played for Philly. He plays the old school way.
Great breakdown, yet again! Only gripe I've got is this is not a scuffle; it's clearly a kerfuffle!
Contreras’ favorite pastime of getting hit 😂
Yup even as a die hard cubs fan I have to agree with McCutchen here
I’m surprised Jomboy didn’t emphasize that the first pitch cutter/slider was definitely on the outside part of the zone in order to get Cutch to come in closer to the plate. That way, it’s more passable as an accident than if he hits Cutch and he’s at the far edge of the batter’s box away from the plate.
He did say that though
You gotta do one on the Braves/Nats multiple pickle rundown that led to both runners safe and a Braves run. Plus, you should throw in Dee Strange-Gordon plunking Travis d'Arnaud with a 56mph fb that nearly killed Trav
I'm with Cutch on this one. Though maybe the Cubs thought get one over 1st to maybe avoid gettin tossed? idk ... but yeah 1 shot. Similar thing happened with Shawn Estes back in the day with the Giants, basically ruined his cred for a long time
@M P It's hilarious that anyone liked this comment. Cubs fans are so delusional like its only Brewers hitting Cubs and not the other way round. Everyone including Cutch knew this arm was brought in to hit him.....so do it. Don't pretend its a real at bat and you are trying to be competitive. Throw at him, fk off, and let the game continue. Cubs can't even get intentionally beaning hitters right.
@M P a hit by pitch is different from a “bean”. The only one that was clearly intentional was the one on Cutch, that’s a beanball. Nobody is complaining about the Yelich one because it was clearly not intentional.
Also, the Brewers have only hit the Cubs with one more pitch since 2020. So it’s mutual.
IF the Cubs thought that they are idiots. Cutch was standing so far off the plate that you have to intentionally throw at him to hit him. There is no way you can make that look like it was unintentional.
@M P LOL none of them were beans except the Cubs beaning Cutch. Also, the Cubs have hit the Brewers with just as many pitches the last couple of seasons Get off the high horse.
Oh and by the way, He stood that far off to ensure the pitcher got tossed by making it completely obvious it was intnetional. .
@M P He wasn't complaining. He was simply telling the pitcher that if you are going to intentionally throw at him, do it on pitch one. Don't wait until pitch 3. Everyone knows he was ordered to bean Cutch. Just do it. The fact that they thought they could make it look unintentional by throwing in the zone first just makes the Cubs look even dumber when everyone knows you are going to hit him intentionally and Cutch makes it even more obvious by standing that far off the plate..
Need a breakdown of the nats hitting Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor in the face
Why did you actually enjoy that? Sick f**k.
Alonso got hit in the shoulder lol
@@lldunkz4317 it hit his shoulder first but it got redirected into his face
Lindor got hit because he was trying to bunt. It's his own fault his face was even there in the spot where the ball went.
Also when Cutch got hit by Delgado he did the same this started him off with an outside pitch then he broke Cutch’s ribs.
The Cutch face with the "I'm cool with that shit bro" should definitely be a shirt!!!!!
Someone give this man a job in baseball commentary and I guarantee You will up viewership by 500 percent!
Make Baseball great again.
A warning should have been issued when Happ got hit. It was pretty clear it was intentional and it was what the 2nd or 3rd hit batter of the game. The first one or two may not have been intentional but the one at Happ definitely was. I agree with the ejection but the suspensions to Thompson and Ross are kind of ridiculous.
How was the Happ hit intentionally? It was obviously a slider that got away. Thankfully his x-rays are negative at least.
I hate the punk ass “hold me back!” move Heyward did. There’s always THAT guy who comes in hauling ass trying to be a hardass knowing damn well they aren’t going to do anything. Mainly because people will intervene before he gets there, but even they didn’t, it’d just be a “that’s not nice” yell match.
What was Heyward even mad about? The guy who got hit is on the other team.
@J G he was beyond overrated and he wasn’t even “rated” very highly. And for some reason they insist on keeping him around. I’m actually a Brewers fan but my good friend is a die hard cubs fan and he can’t stand Heyward lol
Since 2020, the Brewers have hit Cubs hitters 27 times; Cubs pitchers have hit the Brewers 26 times. On the receiving end of many of those has been Contreras, who has been hit 12 times since the beginning of the abbreviated 2020 season.
9-0 cubs and Brewers are just beaming cubs players all game. Young kid throws at one Brewer and gets suspended for 3 games while noone on the Brewers gets suspended? Umps just made all this worse.
@@jscott6 Nobody on the Brewers deserved to get suspended. Not one was on purpose until that lil biatch threw on Cutch.
@@jscott6 Hey man I am a Cubs fan, but both teams are guilty on plunking one another.
It’s just wild how no Brewers players have been suspend for hitting Contreras.
@@jscott6 Name one of the Brewers HBP against Chicago that was intentional. Then go back and watch Contreras literally say on live television that last year they intentionally threw at the Brewers starting pitcher (Woodruff). And then tell him that when you lean over the plate and your weakness is the inside pitch, sometimes you're going to get hit.
@@6Snaus My point is was that from that entire game when players were getting hit left and right, only the Cubs player was suspended. Right or wrong, that is only going to fuel the tension between the Brewers and Cubs going forward. If it was just throwing at a player to get even, fine, but MLB decided to officially take the Brewers side which won't solve anything.
The lip reading was great!
Ahh 😆 hahaha!
Amazing breakdown...Can't stop laughing, at the same time, it makes you think. This is definitely your calling in life my man!
McCutchen handled it perfectly. Also Heyward is a clown lol.
No he didn't he cried while Contreras got hit five time in that series
Heyward may suck, but he’s no more of a clown than McCutchen. McCutchen whined like a little bitch when he got plunked on the leg. Contreras was hit 5 times in that series. He wasn’t happy about it, but said nothing. Catchers get beat up enough as it is without getting plunked twice a day.
I’ve never liked McCutchen from day one. There’s really just something about his attitude that rubs me the wrong way. This really didn’t help that situation at all. Such a freaking cry baby. 😭 He’s a good player, but don’t respect him too much aside from that. He wanted out of Shittsburg, & has gone downhill every season since. Be careful what you wish for, huh? He’s just another dude out there now, nothing special anymore. He hasn’t been since 2015.
If Heyward wanted to be tough he should play football. Very few actual tough guys in Baseball. More than soccer, but Football, hockey and even basketball players got nothing to fear from guys who ROUTINELY MISS GAMES GETTING HURT IN THEIR OWN HOMES and allow themselves to get bullied by fat old white guys - the obese umps.
Jomboy needs to talk about this umpiring Saturday Jays and A’s game. Thus umpire was atrocious. They need to watch the replays their mistakes. Do they even review their performances?
What?
@@toxicvillain - yo the Umpire was atrocious for the the Jays game on Saturday Vs the A’s. Not just for the Jays but for the A’s as well. It was bad. Umpires need to get called out when they execute their job horribly. Make a video on how shitty this guy actually was.
Can u do the hosmer double called back? It was kind of interesting watching it in real time
I was thinking the same thing
Lmfaoooo Jayson Heyward running in like The Rock interrupting a match is sending me😂😂😂😂😂
I love it when they stand so far back they’re closer to the dugout than the batter’s box… Cause they know it’s coming.. haha!..
Tell me baseball isn’t the best game ever?!..
Cutch is a class act and he's absolutely correct. That first pitch strike can get a batter hurt.
And it did get him hurt the last time a pitcher threw him a strike, then came back the next pitch and hit him.
Every pitch can get a batter hurt. Be alive in the box.
Look up Perez, braves, padres.
@@fw8465 I understand that, but in this situation, don’t throw to the guy like you’re going to give him something he can hit if you plan on hitting him. I’ve been a die hard Cubs fan since day 1, but this isn’t right no matter how you look at it.
@@marvinjaywilliamsiii cubs fan by birth.
Don’t care how the message was delivered, just that it was understood.
Stop hitting our catcher.
Remember, he calls the pitches so you have to be a real moron to think it wasn’t coming.
Look up Perez, braves, padres.
@@fw8465 not disagreeing with you there. Just play the game and stop hitting each other. 😂😂
When I pitched during the seventies I can honestly say that I never hit a batter intentionally.I always felt that a strikeout was of better effect for that kind of situation ⚾️
It's always hilarious to I see the Bullpen come out for a scuffle like they are relevant.
That was one of the best explainations I've heard in a long time! I also agree with best lip reading.
Yo! JIM! JIIIMMMY! Breakdown the bottom of the 4th from the Yankee Tiger game on Apr. 19th. Thanks man and looking forward to seeing it
The Cubs were crushing them. They probably didn't need to do it, but the Brewers really need to control their pitchers more, too.
Yeah exactly
Brewers were being sore losers and have a clear, recent history of hitting Cubs, so it makes sense to punish the Cubs...
You do know that the Cubs have hit the Brewers only 1 less time as the Brewers have hit the Cubs.
@@VeNinjaK Brewers have hit Cubs 27 times since 2020. Most in baseball
@@izzysvids yep. 26 times the Cubs have hit the Brewers. Second most.
I've gotta agree with Cutch. It's bogus to draw him in on the first pitch, but that's the lesser offense.
That dude took 3 throws at Cutch, and turned that at bat into a one sided game of dodgeball with the potential for serious injury. If he's not good enough to hit a person at all, then why should we believe he's not gonna hit him in the head/neck area?
I'd agree with Cutch then, either you're good enough to do it right, or you shouldn't be doing it at all. You can change someone's life up there.
If you’re doing a breakdown, it doesn’t take much effort to google that #71 for the Cubs is Keegan Thompson not “the kid”. He’s not Cutch but he’s a major leaguer too. He has earned his spot and deserves the recognition. It’s not like this is his debut or anything either. Spent significant time up in the big leagues last year too.
He’s still a kid bud
@@who4486 he’s 27.
Good to have you back. Your other sports breakdowns are cool, but theses I throughly enjoy.
Another awesome breakdown!!!!! Just absolutely the best!!
Anybody else watch the video before commenting?
Quality content as always Jomboy!
The pitcher seemed afraid of hitting cutch 😂
Never been asked to do it before either at Auburn or in the minors.
To be fair, the kid looks like he's about to shave his face for the first time, and now he's being asked to throw at a grown man. He knows it could have been an inverse of Ryan vs Ventura.
When Cutch is that far off the plate he knows he can't claim it was an accident. YOu hae to intentionally throw at a guy to hit him when he is that far off the plate.
Funniest part is that Cutch didn't need to reach out, his lips are super clear to read for a pro.
This is an unwritten baseball rule that makes more sense, unlike the 3-0 don't swing nonsense.
That break down was spot on. Some kids don't get how sports were.
heyward running in like hes about to take on the entire Milwaukee dugout is so funny to me
Fun fact. Over the last couple years, the brewers have only the cubs 1 more time (maybe a couple more after the start of this year) than the cubs have hit the brewers
Important context: Willson Contreras has been the recipient of most of those HBPs. I understand the HBPs team to team are fairly even, but the Contreras factor makes me think at the very least that part is intentional. I can get behind the fact the Cubs and Brewers have generally wild pitching which accounts for a decent chunk of those HBPs, but when most are focused toward one player, that’s what makes me think it’s at least partially intentional.
@@ChargerBulldogs19 Contreras crowds the plate more than any Cub in recent memory, Rizzo included. Milwaukee's strategy to pitch to him has always to bust him inside so he can't get his arms extended. He's gotten hit a lot because he doesn't give an inch while standing damn near on top of the plate. Then he gets pissy when he gets hit and looks for retaliation. He admitted as much last year that they were trying to hit Woodruff.
@@ChargerBulldogs19 Contreras says and knows the Brewers aren't hitting him intentionally.
@@johnweinstock2697 he is being classy about it. They definitely do it on purpose ya dolt.
@@meltingface2558 no they don't. They pitch him in because that's how they want to pitch to him. It's probably the weakest area for him to hit. Why would the Brewers keep doing it on purpose?
My issue is that look at the score, the Cubs were up by nine runs to Milwaukee's nill. Why are they hitting batters, it serve no purpose with a score that wide of a margin.
Probably had something to do with the metrics.
Why are the brewers hitting batters down so many runs?
@@darthrevan2957 That's what some pitchers on teams do when they're frustrate that they're pitching well but have no offense to back their good performance
@@alski200 pitching well? They lost 9-1 they did not pitch well
@@darthrevan2957 You didn't read what I wrote, I wasn't talking about The Cubs I said "pitchers"
My goodness Cutch was so far off the base than usual.
He knew it was coming. He was going to make sure the pitcher got tossed by making it incredibly obvious the throw was intentional.
I usually don’t care for commentary like this but this was good. Great video!!!
Best part of baseball season is jomboy breakdowns being back
