CC Sabthia said it best “if you don’t want them to swing 3-0 then throw strikes”
Yes
oof
I’m lost. Shouldn’t it be if you don’t want them to swing 3-0, throw a ball in the dirt, or way outside?
@@tien90802 he means throw a strike on one of the first 3 pitches. Cant get swung on a 3-0 if youre never in a 3-0

“If you don’t want us to score then stop us.” -Bill Belichick
Good one tbh
God this is how it should be. It’s adults playing a game. You suck at it? Sucks to suck. This is why these people are paid millions every year. Fuckin babies.
LOL one time Whitey Herzog's runnin' Redbirds were blowing out the SF Giants. The guys were running like they always did. Roger Craig got pissed and Herzog said we'll stop running when you stop scoring. ROFL!
100% true
That's part of the reason why Belichick is the GOAT, and his players respect him
you'd think it'd be an "unwritten rule" to not trash your own fucking player to the public and justify the other team trying to bean him
The manager is a piece of shit for throwing his player under the buss.
I agree 100%, but the truth is, Tony LaRussa is clown shoes. Mickey Mouse wears Tony LaRussa pajamas. He looks about as lucid and sober in this video as he did in the dash cam footage from his DUI.
@@Jason-hq1mk if any other manager said this he'd be fired that night
here's a WRITTEN RULE: if a team wants to stop playing the game, they can forfeit at any time. more respectful than half-assing it and getting mad at those players who continue to put in an effort which is beyond asinine.
they really wrote all that in the book?
@@jaybandu6976 yep. “Half-assing” is bold and underlined in the official mlb rulebook
Why not put the rookies up to at least pitch a couple of rounds just to try and work on their game against batters who are still going to try and hit to improve their own individual stats?
@@jaybandu6976 just want to let you know your joke was seen, laughed at heartily, and in a just world would have a few thousand likes.
@@HoyaSaxaSD thanks bud! It's hard these days 🤣
Honestly, if we are talking about "respect for the game" giving up in the middle of the game is a little more disrespectful than hitting a homerun
And then putting a guys Heath in jeopardy by throwing 90+ at him because he did his job. So respectful.
These people need to be paid in pesos based on their values. Bunch of babies nowadays
@@jking0.o121 what do you mean nowadays, when the old guys are the ones being babies
@@alejo5267 I mean that being a baby isn't ageist. Young, old, small and tall, anyone and most everyone acts like babes *nowadays*
“middle of the game”? It’s the ninth inning!
Fans paid full price for tickets, they expect a full game.
Is this why they went with a position player to pitch? Just to get 9 on the board? I really don't get it.
Why not use a pitcher? They're barely throwing anyway.
Hell, if it's just for the fans, draft a fan out of the audience to "pitch". Or a mascot. At least that would be memorable.
I'd love to see stats on how many fans watch a full 9 innings. Especially during a blowout.
They have been told they have to get together on these situations. This is coming from the top.
All 17 of them
Why wouldn't the other team try to win the entire game? It's professional sports, not little league LMAO
If my career depended on my batting average and other statistics, I would absolutely hit a home run when given the opportunity. In 4 years, no one will remember this happened but he’ll still have this HR on his record.
Eventually he can make up whatever story he wants about the Homer cuz everyone will move on anyway lmao
Yup every single possible time I can. If they don't want to get scored on they can put an actual fucking pitcher on the mound
Not true! I remember it well.
This is baseball at its worst.
LaRussa- “Don’t swing 3-0 when we’re up by a bunch”.
Players-“but we have incentives in our contracts that make us more money, and the game isn’t over”.
Example…Mets were down by 6 going into their last at bat, scored 7 and won the game. A lot of times, divisions are won by 1 or 2 games. Every game is important, or they wouldn’t keep track.
Everyone knows when you hit a home run you have to bow to the pitcher and start a charitable foundation in their name
You’re a diamond in the rough, Sir William.
And if the pitcher strikes out the batter (the more often occurrence of the two, mind you), he gets to berate you in public and now owns your first born son as his slave.
Don't forget to ask the pitcher for permission before running the bases
#pitcherlivesmatter
The Madison Bumgarner You Run The Bases And You Don't Look At Me Foundation For Pitchers With Hurt Feelings.
Tony LaRussa giving me serious emperor palpatine vibes in those postgame interviews
Palpatine vibes... you're a genius.
I love democracy
I was about to say this😭
You mean looking like a walking corpse?
Because he’s controlling or because he looks 200 years old
It's honestly disgusting that the coach would betray his own team and players like that.
Imagine trying to hit someone with a ball and possibly injuring them because they hit a home run and hurt your feelings
Larussa looked very drunk. He’s probably just getting ready for his drive home.
💀
Fucking dead lol

What a silly manager. Quite literally not something that would have happened in Little League
Happy Hour 🍻 🚗
Bottom line, you can’t put a guy out on the mound who throws 40mph lollipops and get mad when he gets taken yard.
Agreed
@@iplayvideogames2542 if I was a position player pitching I wouldn't give a rat's ass about the results. You're not even a pitcher, no expects you to pitch well. And the batter posturing and gesturing to the sky just makes him look even stupider. It's like hitting a homerun off a guy in the stands and acting like it was Sandy Koufax
@@username-zj9id, well said!
@@username-zj9id then put a rookie pitcher in who has numbers to play for and make a practice game out of it. If you toss the game off you toss the game off, that’s on you. Can’t be mad the other team keeps going.
Actually impressive to go yard off 40 mph, that takes some muscle
If I was losing a game and the other team stopped trying cuz they felt bad, I'd probably feel worse.
I love how you can't swing 3-0 in a blowout game against a fielder pitching, but if you do and hit a home run then it's perfectly okay to beam the other team...
“Respect the game,” means to give it 100% until the game is over. Also, these are professionals. They are grown adults. If they don’t like being scored on, they can do something about it. In fact, they are being paid millions of dollars to do something about it.
So do fighters and sometimes your just beat. Doesn’t mean you beat the guy until he’s dead. at some point you goofballs gotta say okay he’s dead now 🤣
@@Thedirtylittlesecret That is a poor argument. With combat sports, someone can physically get injured and potentially killed. With baseball, worst thing is someone gets their feelings hurt.
@@benjaminbrockway5998 lmao 😂 a dude got hit in the face last week and your comment make 0 sense.
@@Thedirtylittlesecret His comment makes a lot of sense actually. You have to call fights because you risk serious injury if you're losing bad. Where as baseball it is just hurt feelings. And yes there is injures in baseball, but it has nothing to do with losing terribly.

My biggest thing is that people will complain about guys taking a swing when it doesn’t matter but won’t even blink when players are intentionally throwing at guys at 90+mph

This comment can't get enough likes. Why are they out there if they aren't going to play because the game is out of hand? In that case give fans their money back for the "quitting time" and don't pay the players for the mercy time. None of the stats should count! It's just plain silly
You are slightly wrong.
They do, don't throw at heads is the one rule.
Baseball is the sport of mafia clubs protecting reputations by sending pitchers to do jobs, aka throw at people. Exactly what La Russa sounded like - a godfather who issued an apology in hopes of not receiving retaliation. Duffy couldn't shoot straight, but the message was given. La Russa approved of the premeditated hit.
@@Mark_Knight Not even then, there are far too many people, not just turning a blind eye, but outright defending people throwing at heads. It’s sad.
I remember playing little league and this was a thing then, but I'm pretty sure we all understood that was a little league thing...I was honestly shocked the first time I heard people in the majors talk like that. Mercy rule for people making hundreds of millions of dollars a year? Get the fuck out.
I"m in tears 😂😂😂 When the reporter asked if he is worried about the Twins retaliating.... If they could have done something about it they would have beaten the Sox. 🤣🤣🤣
It was nice for Tony to do an interview WHILE napping. That’s impressive.
He was probably drunk

Hi Brian..glad u live a perfect life with no faults. Larusa paid his fine and did CS.
Paid his debt.
Bash Bros: Taking Steroids
Also Tony: …….LOOK AT ALL THOSE HOME RUNS!
I like how following unwritten rules leads to the starting pitcher getting himself tossed out in the 4th inning of a close game because of what happened in a previous game after they basically already lost.
When I played hockey there was no way the coach would let us stop trying even if we were up 4-0. It's not about saving feelings. It's about not getting caught off guard and letting momentum take a sure-win away from you. The game isn't over till it's over.
"I, the manager, hate that my player has hit a home run. So much so that I do not have a problem with them throwing at him." This guy just lost the locker room
He never had it in the first place. TLR should have managed his last game 10 years ago.
Pretty sure he never had it
Nope people called me stupid for saying this a few weeks ago......
He never had it, he has run his course ... these dinosaurs are becoming extinct
No, hall of fame manager Tony La Russa, did not lose a locker room....
honestly we should be thanking mercedes for that 3-0 homer, it made miguel sano so mad that he remembered how to hit
lmao right
That’s probably why la russa was mad
LMAO
😂
Twins out here playing 18D Parcheesi with this move sparking fire in the clubhouse and distrust in the white sox. Rocco is truly a genius
"Giving respect to the opponents" is giving it your all. Of course overly celebrating or something like that is a bit tasteless, since you basically destroyed the team.
But you should always play like it matters. I don't want someone to go easy on me just cause I'm losing.
1. Jimmy, never ever change you’re perfect and I love you xx
2. Look, I’m Australian, and I REALLY wanna get into baseball. It’s history has always fascinated me. However, this stuff is garbage and I genuinely don’t think I can appreciate a sport where managers and coaches care more about their opponents’ feelings than his own players’ safety, and his own TEAM winning the game. This is dumb.
Well, that's just Tony La Russa and people were rolling their eyes for days after this one. Baseball is still really fun :)
I’m from Ireland, watching from across the Atlantic. This stinks, but there’s enough baseball going on to where this isn’t that common, with 162 games per team you’re not running out of competitive matches.
When you mix one of the youngest teams in baseball and a coach that’s 4 times their age you get amazing jomboy videos
Lol😂😂😂
true..
bull.....you wrong tlr....when you stand in this spot is to do that.....and if somebody hit ....we will do the same
Tim Anderson is such a little immature bitch though. He fits the South Side Chicago vibe. He should get suspended for his actions.
@@thecaynuck4694 hmmmm, no.
mans on a rookie level contract as a career minor league player. he’s playing everyday for his job so i don’t understand why he isn’t allowed to pad his stats and play as hard as he can so he can stay in the bigs
Right? Fuck the manager and his outdated BS. Pad them stats for your career in the long-run...
This is an incredibly important part of the deal here. The guy is playing for the only contract he's ever gonna get.
Exactly! Stats don't care what the score in the game was when you struck out or scored.
Jomboy mentioned it in the initial breakdown, but I wish he reiterated it here too, because it really makes LaRussa's take even worse than it appears at first blush.
LaRussa is basically telling his players he would rather they tank their career than make the other team feel bad.
even as a veteran, shouldn't be disallowed to pad stats.. I mean look at Westbrook. Padding stats like nobody's business and called goat for it. That can be Mercedes
Why can’t the opposing team just forfeit the game? Same outcome on paper, right? That way hitters don’t have to trash their BA’s
looks bad on the team and the fans payed to see a full game
Because the season is a marathon basically. The wear and tear of this game will effect the next game. If the game gets called early that wear effect isn't there. It could actually end up an advantage for the next game to call it early. The endurance factor of the season is predicated on that stuff.
@@tripplec03 for the exact same reason, fans payed to see a full game of BASEBALL, not 4 innings of baseball and 5 innings of one (Likely both) teams not even trying anymore.
Tony's disrespect for the fans is Pathetic and embarrassing
“The generation of players that thinks they’re tough are the biggest babies when it comes to getting their feelings hurt” nailed it right there.
The Boomers of baseball.
I also cannot believe that after Yermin got hit by a pitch last night that TLR still didn’t have his back. You don’t have to like what Yermin did, but don’t be ok with him getting hit! What a joke.
@@jfdunn1988 he said he was okay with it which is crazy

@@roo2dee2 or he is deaf
Bruh you legit copied the same comment from another video...
If breaking an unwritten rule gives the other team the ok to potentially injure or hell possibly kill you then that's just plain wrong
When MLB players sign contracts, their pay is largely based on their stats. So one home run can earn them thousands more even if it was in garbage time. Plus, some of the younger/lower paid players on the team's only chance to show what they've got is in garbage time, so to me this unwritten rule is nonsense.
Imagine your manager not having your back
I don't want to
Just ask tatis Jr
If ask for a trade. Only the WS are playing so good this season I would wait until the offseason.
Wild.. I have never seen a manager say anything like this. Upset and we will talk about it is one thing. But Tony basically said it was ok to throw at the kid.
@@andrewboyce7268 publicly throws a pity party about it too. Is money really worth being under this guy lol

@T&Z Tyler Duffey* but yeah the unwritten rules are so dumb. Yermin worked through the minors for a long time. Let him play

Maybe its outdated if ur 12...
Great video as usual. I watch these so much, my wife gets jealous. How can anyone NOT like your breakdowns?? 😂. The 700+ people that gave a thumbs down must be the entire team and staff at the twins. 😂
When the other team gives up, it's an insult to the sport and the other team. They deserve complete humiliation. Take your beatings when you lose, or you don't deserve to celebrate when you win.

well it's suppose to be an unwritten rule in baseball... but i also beg to differ cause. yes your getting blown out your using non using pitchers to pitch. it sucks i know id on't like it but a part of me understand that.. but for me as a hitter 3-0 count i can take a strike or try to hit... it such a tough spot. if it's 3-2 regardless i don't want to strike out i hope i can ground out or something. i hate striking out.
to get back straight to the point.. the signs were giving take a strike please. whether the batter didn't see it or he ignored it on purpose that's all on the white sox.

Him telling the opposition it's ok to hit one of his players with a pitch is a fireable offense.
I agree but i think he means it in a sense that if the other team did it, he wouldnt have hesitated to throw at them either. Any team is throwing at a player if they swing 3-0 in a blowout so 99.9% of the players on the bench would expect someone to be thrown at so in that sense hes like fuck it, my dude made a mistake and we will deal with the consequences. So i dont hate him for not caring, you probably shouldnt say it though lol.

Otherwise, I want to see a demonstration of skills in a homerun derby.
I don't think I've ever seen a pro team give up until the fat lady sang in any other stick and ball sport

@@juice4826 Because there are bunch of crybabies in the MLB. There's an unwritten rule that says you shouldn't swing at a 3-0 pitch when you're team is winning by several runs late in the game. Just like when Tatis hit a grand slam against the Rangers a year or so ago in a similar situation. Of course, in Tatis' situation, if he'd taken ball 4 and walked in a run, he'd have been accused of having bad sportsmanship, trying to draw a walk and force a run with his team up big. At least in this situation a walk wouldn't force in a run. In short, it's just an excuse for professional athletes to act like babies.

@@MarloSoBalJr Why..did you have...to remind me...
I was always taught, that playing "easy" against your opponents and not showing them the respect they deserve is a huge insult. Playing your best shows that you respect your opponent.
This unwritten rule is a result of little leagues trying to keep kids from crying after a loss on the way home. Thus you have, participation awards: a trophy for losing. Just so you can say “hey, I played too!”
@@partycrasher9660 participation trophies have always been for the sake of the parents, if the little league kid is having fun they don’t care about getting a trophy/medal/etc.
You clearly didn't comprehend that they were using a POSITION PLAYER for a pitcher. How dumb can you be.
That's how I learned for any sort of contest, unless you are teaching someone you put your full effort in unless you intend to insult them.
@@jesarablack1661 - diminishing returns -- coaches would rather their players save energy for the next game than waste it on a blowout; they see it as an unwritten rule to respect the white flag because no one wants to watch a game where a team just outright quits.
My son's hockey team got blown out a couple times last year, playing up a couple times. The other team smashed us, and kept smashing all three periods. My son was the goalie, and I was a bit concerned for his mind space. Even though it didn't wind up affecting him, it annoyed me a bit that they were still driving so hard, but we let it go on and they were fine for the experience afterwards.
And that's little kids. These are professional athletes paid to play a child's game! If their feelings get hurt from a drubbing, they have bigger problems as an organization.
If La Russa thinks that beanballs are an acceptable punishment, he should volunteer to be the first on the firing line
I'm sorry, if I'm getting paid millions to hit the ball, and my future contracts depend on my statistical ability to hit a ball, then I'm going to hit the ball when it's right down the middle.
Why are you sorry?
@@LincolnLagger Because I'm sorry that I am going to leave this shit team and get a new contract. :)
But what about the other teams feelings? Have you no care for their precious feelings?!
@@quintus920 fuck their feelings
@@quintus920 oh your right I almost forgot
If my manager said that I’m asking for a trade immediately. Imagine caring more about the other teams feelings than your own players. I’d never hit a homer for this guy again
13 PEOPLE AGREED with that line of b.s you said?? if you played for Dick williams, Sparky Anderson, Don Zimmer (google them)..YOU wouldnt ask for a trade..you would be sent down to the minors or you would be traded....without asking
@@jaydesrochers753 Did you ask them or are you making a fallacious argument to authority without even getting their opinion? Either way it's a fallacious argument to make if they don't explain why, but one just leaves you looking like you're grasping at straws.

Him going and apologizing is even more of an insult to the twins🤣🤣☠️

Twins are punks for throwing at Yermin. Even after all the groveling done by LaRussa and taking his own player to task they still go and throw at him. Dicks

This is so stupid. They are grown men and are getting paid to play a game and try their best for MILLIONS! If they really want to get the game over with, put a damn pitcher and not a position player out there. They are getting paid to hit home runs and to try their best. No matter what, swing 3-0, don’t feel bad for the other team, and keep the game fun!
This moment single handedly ruined his career
La Russa may have just lost the entire locker room in the span of 24 hours which honestly is kinda impressive. God damn.
He lost the city of Chicago even before he was hired.
What La Russa doesn't understand is most of his players don't understand English.
@@LakeFX He should have lost that job after getting popped for DUI/DWI

Not pictured: Larussa driving home drunk after speaking with the media
Damn.
Seriously though Sox ownership needs to take a close look at these interviews, he is clearly suffering from dementia. He sounded like a retired boxer. This is outside the fact that he is not OK with his players hitting homeruns, but is perfectly ok with the opposition throwing at his hitters. Wow.
I’m cryinggggg
Larussa looks wasted doing this interview talk about old school baseball.
"I didn't try to spank him; he's too big and strong."
Tellin me dude really got in trouble for playing the game. Today, May, 3rd, 2022 is the day i have OFFICIALLY given up on baseball.
Men: "Men aren't irrational emotional like women."
Also Men: "I'm going to hit you with this baseball because you broke an unwritten rule."
It's the biggest lie in gender politics. Men have emotions and act on them.
Most pitchers are giant babies.
The fact that he hit a dinger off of a 47 mph pitch is impressive to me.
Zack Greinke wishes he could throw that slow.

New unwritten rule:
“When a position player is inserted on the mound by the opposing team, it is courteous to send up 3 of your reserve pitchers to bat in order to quickly end the inning”
Rule sponsored by Tony LaRussa
Glad that we got clarified
I actually found that idea pretty funny. I mean it makes sense: one side sends up hitters to pitch, so the other side sends up pitchers to hit. Everything in the universe in perfect balance. Play ball.
@@TheEloheim Play ball? Or did you mean to say . . . . Ball play!
What's silly is he said that is what he would do...but that's not what he actually did when the situation presented itself in this game!
You just wrote the rule tho

I can’t believe how accurate your mouth reading is every video. It’s honestly impressive
I've mentioned this to everyone when I'm telling people about his channel. It is very impressive! Most impressive.
I'll be more impressed if someone gave jomboy a muted video that we do have the audio for and see if his transcription matches up.
It’s the best part of the channel for sure
I literally watch these videos specifically because of the lip reading. I can’t stop laughing.
'mouth' reading?.
Where was Tony when my 2A high school fielding 23 players lost by mercy rule to an overfull 5A team filled with rich Dallas kids, some of whom were Rangers players' kids in a high school program employing former college coaches?
Imagine being shocked or surprised when your pitcher gets tossed for trying to assault somebody just because the team got their asses handed to em. Additionally…why does he sound like a retired, punch drunk boxer?
La Russa should've just stayed retired. Like seriously, the gall of this fucking fossil to tell a guy who's barely clawed his way into the majors to not hit a surefire homerun.
idk why the twins would get mad, if you put a postiton player on the mound you better get ready for home runs lmfao
Exactly! The count is 3-0 cause he is struggling to get strikes not cause he's trying to get a strikeout. Don't like a homerun hit on you, then put in an actual pitcher.
Plus walks are just going to drag the game out even more
@@hobonolen2402 the manager of the White Sox were more angry than the Twins lol
The guy was trying for a homerun. He was trying to clobber it. I'm cool with that. I'd be more upset if he just tried to bloop one out there. He went full send or nothing 👍
If slugging on a 3-0 count when a position player is pitching is good sportsmanship, then we should also let boxers come into the ring and pummel the guy whose corner threw in the towel. Putting in a position player on the bump when you're down double digits late in the game IS quitting. But it's quitting in a way that provides a modicum of entertainment for the fans, that's all. Somehow Jomboy doesn't get that.
Just because somebody else gives up doesn't mean you throw away at bats. Too much money to be earned to give away opportunities as a professional.
Wait so... the enemy team gave up and the coach of YOUR team is mad at you for still trying to win and not showing mercy like it's a little league game against a bunch of nine year olds? Is that what happened here?
