Baseball is "woke" and soft asf now. It's getting a bit much. I saw nothing here, but a yell at the plate from scoring. Dude got plunked, landed on and the pitcher went for a hard tag. I see nothing wrong with a little flex for scoring on purposely getting hit. MLB is losing it.
He didn't do anything bad, the pitcher should've chilled and let him blow off some steam, after all he did bean him really good. I'd appeal it no punches exchanged just bruised ego by a pitcher, ridiculous.
I understand that the don’t touch an ump is meant a little different than in this type of situation but I’m shocked Yadi wasn’t ejected for the little body check to the ump
He didn’t mean to, in grabbing onto someone else he was moved to the right and collided with the umpire. He’s one of the few players that are phenomenal with umpires, especially with the plate umpire as he catches.
@@grantg610 not when the benches clear. When the benches clear they generally give you a lot of leeway for contact if you're protecting one of your guys. We've seen it a LOT.
Did Castellanos say something? It certainly didn't look like he did enough to get tossed. Especially compared to everything else going on on the field.
Showboaters and people who scream in others faces like that are weak-minded and/or have some personal inadequacy issues to deal with, making them potentially detrimental to a team. Even though I would consider the skipping and the screaming bitch moves, Castellanos did nothing against the rules to get ejected, and I’m not sure how Molina and the pitcher didn’t get tossed.
@@NoNameForThisGuy pitchers that throw a fastball at a batter are weak minded. They think they have a protective shield. A hit batter should always throw his bat or ball back at the pitcher.
@@Erlov71 yeah, I wouldn’t recommend anyone throwing anything at anyone. My point is that while I think anyone who does the bat flips and the flexing and whatnot is a straight up horses ass and should be mocked, it’s not against the rules and doesn’t deserve retaliation. In this particular case, that seemed to me like a pitch that got away based on the pitchers reaction, but I still think the pitcher and Molina should have gotten tossed for going after Castellanos after the play, and Castellanos shouldn’t have been tossed.
They are right though, there was no need to toss him here. He was hit by the pitcher to get on base. If anything, they should have tossed Yadi for overreacting to him.
@@loganmitchell7498 Oh yes it was... 1) His skip-to-doo/bat fling after the home run. 2) His offering of the ball that hit him back to the pitcher. 3) His shouting in the pitcher's face and aggressive flex. Any one of them could have started a brawl. It was the 3rd one that eventually did.
@@ButchRahman ur an idiot. 1. Everyone bat flips and gets pumped like that now. So quit living in the past. 2.

Maybe if the pitcher wasnt a prick and tried to get him out that wouldnt of happened and the pitcher wouldnt of allowed 3 more runs with 2 outs...
If you ask me, the pitcher should have been the 1st ejection of the season. This crew knew about the incident from two days prior and there’s no way you can think that the bean ball was accidental. With the pitcher ejected, and a possible warning of both sides at that point, Castellanos is not ejected for this play (all things being equal)
1. That was Woodford pitching, he's not that great and has had control issues his whole 'career'. 2. He just about threw the ball to the backstop a few pitches later. It was not intentional, it was his shitty control.
@@zantar2482 A bean is a pitch at the head so it wasn't a 'bean ball' Woodford is 24 with not even 100 innings to his name at the major league level, he has always struggled control and the ball running on him is an especially major concern. The incident was two days ago and did not involve Woodford, we're not in the 90's, we're in a different era where pitchers [generally] don't want to plunk guys. Castellanos started all of this with his antics when he got to home plate and was rightfully ejected. You cannot have the benches clear and have 0 ejections, you have to eject the person who incited it which was Castellanos
@@detroitrockcity8 Not a single sport where screaming in somebody's face while you flex on them will get you ejected. He was only ejected because of their reaction, which is bogus.
@@detroitrockcity8 Were not talking high school or college. Show one instance of a professional athlete being ejected for yelling and flexing on their opponent. You cant. And probably still couldn't from a high school or college game either.
@@detroitrockcity8 In response to taunting, the NFHS rulebook states: "The umpire shall warn the offender unless the offense is judged to be major, in which case an ejection shall occur. A warning may be verbal or written. If written, the offender shall be restricted to the bench/dugout for the remainder of the game." Even by those rules, yelling and flexing after being pumped about scoring, while continuing to walk away the entire time, is hardly major and would likely result in a warning at most. Its like ejecting somebody after a bat flip because the other team took offense and shoving ensued.
@@jasonw2942 well the Reds can only blame themselves. Especially Castellanos. If he started the "I want to get out of Cinncinati talk". This team was gelling because of teamwork and good chemistry. They said so themselves. Imagine how it all goes to shit when someone thinks they are above the team.
That’s the softest call so far this year. If you drill a guy, you’re going to get a “LET’S GO!!!” in your face when he scores. He walked away, he didn’t incite anything.
@@hbk314 It was a SERIOUS overreaction by the Cardinals. Obviously the pitcher should have been thrown out when he hit him with the pitch earlier as it was obviously intentional.
It even looks like the pitcher was getting ready pat him on the back and say my bad for the sliding into your back knees first, then Castellanos stood up over him, yelled and flexed in his face. Not saying he should be ejected for it but he acted like a real tool and I'm not surprised the pitcher took exception to that.
There were a Ton of missed calls in today’s mets/Phillies game that degrom started. You usually defend the umps and have been against instituting electronic strike zone. Would like to see your analysis on how many missed calls Brian o’Nora made behind the plate and whether it was more than the average error rate you’ve cited in the past or if pitchtrax was wrong. Thanks.
He scored because of the pitcher's inaccuracy in nailing him, walking another batter, and throwing a wild pitch into the right hand batters box with the bases loaded which is the one time you don't do this. It's possible hitting him was on purpose but it's hard to assume so considering the pitcher had no accuracy this inning. If it was intentional, it backfired on the pitcher because you scored. You won this situation, let it go. Hitting him could have been a warning from officials if they thought retaliation might happen, but you can't ignore the taunting either as an umpire. If you keep letting a player taunt over and over until he makes the other team fight him, it's bad for the game in so many ways. He had to be punished for the taunts or players will start thinking it's acceptable to do ridiculous taunts in someone's face and face no consequences for it aside from walking away while your teams get into giant fights because of you, but your hit and run taunt was "okay" because "he's walking away now". It's also funny that fans love taunting so much nowadays and say that this is nothing. This is a penalty in football let alone baseball because taunting is a dirty move in any sport that will cause fights. I remember when you were expected to play baseball or any sport with class and sportsmanship. Show some respect. Play hard but play right. It's not hard to do, just don't scream and flex directly in people's faces. Don't taunt and get into ego battles with the other players.
Man the pitcher was a baby simple as that. The batter took a nice heater in the back like a man and a belly flop on an errant pitch to home plate , what else does the sport want the batter to take? Fries and and a shake to go? Hell no. Let him blow off steam. He scored on a guy who lost his command of pitching and was pumped about it. This is the same beaned batter that offered the pitcher the ball out of humour and goodwill how many beaned batters do that 😆?
@@8kigana you're crazy if you think that was humor and good will offering the ball back, take your base and stfu or have a real problem with it and charge the mound
It's baseball,a game of emotions and excitement! It happens when you have two teams competing for one Ultimate goal and that's a World Series! Both the Reds and Cardinals hate each other,but they both respect each other because both of these ball clubs are rich in history and success. These emotions will emerge when you have two teams battling it out for who's best in the NL Central! Nobody should have been ejected or suspended because of this bench clearing altercation. If no punches are thrown then there shouldn't be any ejections or suspensions! Emotions will show during stiff competition but as long as no punches are thrown nobody should have been ejected or suspended! Rob Manfred has taken the excitement and emotions out of the game with his new rules and regulations. The major league baseball commissioner is not very popular with the players or the fans. He is probably the worse commissioner MLB has ever had!

Molina who do you think you are a super hero. Aren't you going to retire. He is always involved in fights. You see Molina face when they hit him . Pitcher and manager should have been thrown out. Umpire needs to be trained again
How did this pitcher earn some taunting. Castellonos deserved to be thrown out of the game for doing what he did. Castellonos was childish about the whole thing
@@donaldallen6746 BS. If you get hit you are going to react to it, period. The announcers are right, how does the pitcher miss that badly with a pitch?
Boy, I wonder what teams announcers these 2 guys were for? Lol. I love how they say Castellanos is 100% innocent. I don't understand why he got in trouble? Lol. Well, he incited a bench clearing "brawl" that's why he got in trouble. There's no instance in which standing over a man flexing like that is acceptable. That was a low blow to a team he just scored on.
Anyone notice the bump home plate umpire gave Castellanos after flexing on the pitcher who just beamed him? So essentially, umpire flexed on a guy that flexed on another guy who just flexed on him. It's a flex fest!
He was aiming to hit him and I think that is just dirty and should be no place for it or anything like that in any sport and I think he had that flexing taunt coming. If you don't like people dancing or taken long looks at home runs they hit of you do better.
@@redatlanta3100 Not how that works, watch the video. Bodylanguage indicated Woodford didn't mean for it to run that far inside, he missed his spot but not wildly. He's 24 and inexperienced, he had no bone to pick. Castellanos is the one being a child here so... Try again next time
@@TeemoQuinton lol what? It was the first pitch of the at bat, a fastball, and it missed 2 feet inside... I could understand control issues with a breaking ball, but a major league pitcher isn’t missing that bad on accident. The cardinals were clearly in their feelings if you watched the post game interview where they cried about him offering the ball back to the pitcher.
This is what happens with all that extra celebrating and bat flips, You don’t get to do all that without repercussions. Side note, These announcers are terrible. Larkin should know better
Agreed I don’t really get why the benches cleared so fast after he did that. Pitchers are just soft as fuck and need tons of back up when their feelings are hurt I guess
"I really don't think anyone takes exception to that..." Who tf is this guy and what weirdo version of baseball has he been watching? Literally every pitcher going right now gets butt hurt over everything. It's so bad im waiting for the day a pitcher intentionally hits a batter because he hits a foul ball.
Pitcher should've reminded himself after falling over the batter he just beaned that he owes him for beaning him. Instead he acts like the batter offended his sense abilities 😆.
It’s a new thing now. Not sure you’ve heard, but bat flipping and your trot around the bases is now somewhat of an art form. If you’re mad that someone is celebrating a HR, then pitch better, don’t bean the guy for hitting off you. I don’t know if it was intentional, but to then get upset when Castellanos flexes after scoring is ridiculous
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. In other words, don't act like a horse's ass after you hit a homer if you can't take the punishment. May as well let batters start flipping the pitcher off after they hit a homer.
1) Batter hits a homer and showboats a bit. Score: Batter 1 Other team 0. 2) Other team doesn't like it and retaliates two games later by plunking him. Other team figure it's over. One volley from each side. Now both sides can all forget about it and move on. Score: Batter 1 Other team 1. 3) Batter doesn't let it go and showboats about getting hit by offering the pitcher the ball back. This further escalates things. Now it's no longer even. Batter now has two "attacks" to the other team's one. The other team just wanted it to be over and move on, but Batter didn't let it drop. Score: Batter 2 Other team 1. 4) Batter escalates things even further by scoring in that same inning and continuing to taunt the other team. Score: Batter 3 Other team 1. 5) Other team, feeling the heat of three "attacks" from the batter to their one, tries to verbally counterattack and the benches clear. Not choosing sides here, and I'm not saying either side was right or wrong. I'm just saying how, in my opinion, this whole scenario went.
No way I am going to take a beaning and then a body flop on me by some sensitive pitcher and not say something. That's too many freebies, come on man!!,😆
Be better to watch this brawl without the Pro Red commentary standing over the tagger taunting the opposition not good sportsmanship if I was the coach I would be upset no punches thrown at that taunting punk

I'm fine with the plunk if it's in the first at bat. Third at bat in the fourth once the game is out of control is weak sauce.
yeah they was pissed cause they was losing by 4 runs. shows how weak they are lol
Pitcher is a big softie
It would have been far more classy for Castellanos to pop up and immediately offer the pitcher a hand up.
Idk I'd call this weak. Castellanos flexing on the pitcher is just weak. Great, you got hit, you scored and then you act like that?
As a reds fan I can say it made the home run 10x better
He was aiming to hit him and I think that is just dirty and should be no place for it or anything like that in any sport and I think he had that flexing taunt coming. If you don't like people dancing or taken long looks at home runs they hit of you do better.
"He barked, sure, but he got drilled"
Incite a fight and that's your night!
The pitcher incited it by throwing at him.
@@redatlanta3100 Not how that works, watch the video. Bodylanguage indicated Woodford didn't mean for it to run that far inside, he missed his spot but not wildly.
He's 24 and inexperienced, he had no bone to pick. Castellanos is the one being a child here so... Try again next time
@@TeemoQuinton lol what? It was the first pitch of the at bat, a fastball, and it missed 2 feet inside... I could understand control issues with a breaking ball, but a major league pitcher isn’t missing that bad on accident. The cardinals were clearly in their feelings if you watched the post game interview where they cried about him offering the ball back to the pitcher.
@@redatlanta3100 Ok child, please come back when you have some semblance of intelligence
@@TeemoQuinton lol what an articulate counterpoint. Wouldn’t expect anything different from a cards fan 😂
Announer Homer's in mid-season form...
The dramatics of baseball is fucking hilarious.
I was at this game! It was crazy! Castellanos gets ejected! What!
Commentators are part of the problem. Condoning his actions.
Pitcher started it by beaning him and Nick ended it
Castellanos should have just stood off to the side flexing the whole time.
Why? Castelanos isn't Goldschmidt or Arenado.
He shoulda just stayed home and flexed in front of mirror whole night!
This is what happens with all that extra celebrating and bat flips, You don’t get to do all that without repercussions. Side note, These announcers are terrible. Larkin should know better
Nick didn't cause the benches to clear. Molina's usual antics when he gets mad caused it, yet NOTHING happened to him.
Bc he’s the goat
@@micahshotthat, not even close.
A whole lot of red in this video with a hint of sissy blue.
No reason for Nick to get tossed on that play
Agreed I don’t really get why the benches cleared so fast after he did that. Pitchers are just soft as fuck and need tons of back up when their feelings are hurt I guess
What a bs call..
"I really don't think anyone takes exception to that..."
Who tf is this guy and what weirdo version of baseball has he been watching? Literally every pitcher going right now gets butt hurt over everything. It's so bad im waiting for the day a pitcher intentionally hits a batter because he hits a foul ball.
Pitcher should've reminded himself after falling over the batter he just beaned that he owes him for beaning him. Instead he acts like the batter offended his sense abilities 😆.
It’s a new thing now. Not sure you’ve heard, but bat flipping and your trot around the bases is now somewhat of an art form. If you’re mad that someone is celebrating a HR, then pitch better, don’t bean the guy for hitting off you. I don’t know if it was intentional, but to then get upset when Castellanos flexes after scoring is ridiculous
Ridiculous ejection. Made no sense.
Arenado and Yadi want all the smoke
No they don't.
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. In other words, don't act like a horse's ass after you hit a homer if you can't take the punishment. May as well let batters start flipping the pitcher off after they hit a homer.
No way he should be ejected. Let that guy who made that decision get hit and see if he is a little emotional about it.
If he was hit on purpose ok but it was NOT intentional I saw MANY wild pitches in the video.
WTF DID HE DO!!!!! STOP GETTING THE EJECTIONS BACKWARDS!!!!
You know exactly what he did!!!
1) Batter hits a homer and showboats a bit. Score: Batter 1 Other team 0.
2) Other team doesn't like it and retaliates two games later by plunking him. Other team figure it's over. One volley from each side. Now both sides can all forget about it and move on. Score: Batter 1 Other team 1.
3) Batter doesn't let it go and showboats about getting hit by offering the pitcher the ball back. This further escalates things. Now it's no longer even. Batter now has two "attacks" to the other team's one. The other team just wanted it to be over and move on, but Batter didn't let it drop. Score: Batter 2 Other team 1.
4) Batter escalates things even further by scoring in that same inning and continuing to taunt the other team. Score: Batter 3 Other team 1.
5) Other team, feeling the heat of three "attacks" from the batter to their one, tries to verbally counterattack and the benches clear.
Not choosing sides here, and I'm not saying either side was right or wrong. I'm just saying how, in my opinion, this whole scenario went.
WHAT THIS BOXING.GAME. O BASEBALL PLAYER.???.
Announcer: *amazed Castellanos got ejected*
MLB: “Hold my beer”
The faxt he got 2 game ejection is bullshit
Not baseball !
He was out at the plate!!!
Why would he have been out at the plate? There was no tag. Do you know anything about baseball?
How about a 1 on 1 instead of all this gang activity?🥸🗣 1 on 1?
Good play.
Pitcher slid into him knees first into castellano's back. Guess the ump didnt see that
No way I am going to take a beaning and then a body flop on me by some sensitive pitcher and not say something. That's too many freebies, come on man!!,😆
Literally both teams were waiting for their chance to leave the bench for some action
Be cool if the bullpens met in centerfield and had brawl.
My newest favorite RED Nicky 2 Baggs!!!
I love how catcher always protects the pitcher
Baseball players can't handle anything
Be better to watch this brawl without the Pro Red commentary standing over the tagger taunting the opposition not good sportsmanship if I was the coach I would be upset no punches thrown at that taunting punk
They plunked him earlier..... is that sportsmanship?
@@jameslowell9656 not intentionally. Why would woodford no name pitcher plunk him
@@micahshotthat because the manager told him to? Because the unwritten rules called for it ? You can't actually be that ignorant
Let them play.....don't make it the NFL...
