British Soccer fan reacts to Baseball - MLB | Not-So-Serious Baseball | Part 2

[@kurtisarndt3607]

“The basket” is exclusive to Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs. The way the ball park was made, a HR doesn’t actually need to go past the fence, as long as it lands in the basket. A baseball game is 2.5-3.5 hours, so half that time is spent in the dugouts. That allows players to have lots of fun, especially because only 9 out of 26 players play at a time. Plus each team has around 8 coaches sitting in the dugouts with them.

9:50 some teams have captains while most just have leaders of the clubhouse, which basically, set the example for other players. Those two particular guys were not captains or most influential but just random players who decided to have a standoff. 11:04 standoffs aren't frequent at all, they happen very rarely 13:53 that's called a unicorn lol

[@JoeSmith-iv3sf]

Pretty much summed it all up there. Clubhouse leaders or Captains obviously vary from team to team, maybe by team make up or identity. Some teams can have more than one really. You can have a Jeter who is a Superstar, or some teams may have guys that are future managers that aren't really great players. Teams like Tampa or Arizona who doesn't typically have big money for a Jeter type might just have an older guy to mentor all the young talent.

[@ktoliman]

the NY Yankees for example, don't regularly appoint a team Captain, but it is normally bestowed onto players who exhibit leadership, both on and off the field. To date, the NYY has had 11 Official captains. The last captain was No.2** Derek Jeter (SS), a career Yankee (1995-2014) and held the position of Captain from 2005 until his retirement in 2014. To date, the position of Captain has been left vacant. **The No.2 has been retired from the Yankee's organization (meaning it cannot be used by another player on the team). Having been retired, there is no single digit number (not including 0) available Yankee player.

In baseball, teams have 25 players on their roster, but only 9 players play at a time, and they play a lot of games (162+ for the regular season), so there is a lot of guys having a lot of downtime. Especially starting pitchers who generally get 4-5 days off between their starts to rest their arms, so those guys spend a lot of time during games just watching/supporting their teammates.

that "cleaning basket" is a basket specially designed to bring sunflower seeds to the dugout. They have a big bucket of bubble gum. All 30 teams have both of them. It's an alternate to tobacco. Which was legal for players to use in the 1960s, '70s, '80s & very early '90s.

[@qthelost]

There's a backstory to the play at 5:05 It's funny because the 2nd baseman is jokingly backing away from the runner Roogie Odor who was out at second. In another game in a fight Odor punched another player on another team in the face. So this 2nd baseman was cautiously, and jokingly, backing away from Odor to avoid getting punched.

[@ethangospodareck]

[@jeffg.6110]

Baseball antics in the dugout and bullpen are common to kill time. There’s a lot of “down time” between pitches; the game has no game clock, so can last 3-4 hours, or even more in the case of extra innings; sometimes they play 2 games in a day (to make up a rain-out, for example); players alternate offense/defense, so even the starters are sitting half the time; plus the reserves are in the dugout waiting hours to possibly only play a pitch or two, if at all. Not to mention starting pitchers, who only pitch every 5th day or so. And last but certainly not least, the season is 162 games long, plus spring training! The hijinks are to keep from going stir crazy.

[@nishaingle1327]

In baseball, there are different power positions. Firstly, the captain, who is like the leader of the group. Then the Ace, the normal pitcher who often leads the tempo of the games. There's also the leadoff; the first hitter, who sets the tone for the first round of batting, and the cleanup; who is usually third or fourth to hit; they are there for when the bases are heavy or loaded to try to "clean up" the field. If you like anime and want to learn more about baseball; I recommend watching ace of the diamond. It does really well at explaining a number of things.

[@medicwebber3037]

I was literally laughing so hard my eyes were squeezed shut at the Indians’ Corey Kluber interview! 🤣 - _Some_ teams have Captains, but it is an honorary title. (The rivals, the NY Yankees and the Boston Red Sox are two teams who started using this title in the last few years, giving it to players who, by action and character, are exemplary players and who have exceptional work ethics and keep up team morale.). Otherwise, subordinate to the manager, there are coaches, such as the pitching coach, hitting coach, first and third base coaches, etc.

[@paulisawesome3]

Designated Captains are very rare in professional baseball. The ones participating in those stand-offs are just regular members of the team, usually ones who know they won't be playing that day.

[@countdooku2691]

I think the white powder they were throwing at Corey Kluber was rosin. Pitchers put it on their hands to help with their grip.

[@johnwray393]

Bro don't stop. Baseball is the most American thing we still have left. Keep it coming you're doing great.

[@baphometic8767]

we have captains in baseball but they're pretty rare nowadays because it's usually a distinction given to a player who has been with the same team for a very long time. the last one was david wright of the mets, who played with just that single team his entire career. he retired in 2018.

Funniest Red Flag Moments in NASCAR: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHule319ap5rf6M A red flag actually stops the race for a time. It could be after a wreck and there is a lot of debris on the track. They will stop the cars under a red flag so that the cleanup crews can clear the track. Red Flags also occur if it starts raining or something happens to the track. Most of the time red flags are only for a few minutes but sometimes they can be alot longer. During the long red flag periods NASCAR will often let the drivers get out of their cars.

We call them Team Captains in America too, the player's that you were referring to. They have a lot of time in the dugouts. Especially Pitchers that arent playing that game. There are a number of pitchers that are rotated to preserve their arms (as no pitcher can throw every game and stay healthy). Theres actually a good amount of strategy involved in how you rotate your pitchers. ALso, UNICORN, its called a Unicorn! hahaa

[@lisazaccardimeunier8378]

The guys who made the baseballs into characters are likely in the bullpen. That's an area away from the rest of the team where that's just for the pitchers. Since pitchers only come into a game every once in a while, they have a lot of extra time on their hands. Sometimes they go for days without playing.

[@From-North-Jersey]

The term your looking for is Captain. Football teams can have multiple captains for different units on the team( offense, defense,special teams) baseball teams usually have one captain, it's not really a thing in basket ball, and in hockey each team has one captain and two alternate captains. The captain will have a C on their jersey and the alternates A's. If the captain is injured or unable to perform for some reason one of the alternates will have their A replaced with a C for that game.

[@Dillpickles719]

Last year when I played baseball. We had a rain delay so our teams started playing tic tak toe on a baseball and threw it back and forth between the dugouts

[@meltedplasticarmyguy]

Baseball is the only sport I have seen where goofing around like this is tolerated and at times encouraged. It seems to be a call back to kids playing ball on a summer's day with no care in the world, just having fun. It did not matter (much) if you won or lost you were there for the love of the game and the good times spent with friends. I miss those days so very much. This is the feeling I get when I get a chance to go to a ball game. I don't care much about the game itself, but the atmosphere. When you see the players have a good time, you do as well.

[@PoemJunkie]

meltedplasticarmyguy also games can be quite long since innings aren’t timed, and innings can pass without any runs scored or particularly spectacular plays. So, sometimes something to break up the tedium is entertaining for the fans as well as the players.

[@DeadJesterCinema]

Baseball doesn't have an official designation for Team Captains - although there might be an unofficial one appointed by the manager or players in the clubhouse (locker room).. but the NHL has Team Captains and so does the NFL - the NFL has a Team Captain for Offense, Defense and Special Teams

"It's like a mental warfare." Yes. Exactly that. 95% of baseball is "the game within the game." The little psychological things over the course of a very long game. The reason so much stuff can happen between "plays" (or pitches) is because...well, there's a lot of time between pitches! It might be the slowest moving game in the world not named Cricket. But if you can get into the game within the game, it's a very fascinating sport!

Football and Hockey have official captains. In hockey there's 3, the main captain has a C on the front shoulder of their jersey and 2 others have an A for, I think, alternate captain. Football has a captain for offense, defense and special teams (kicking and punting) and they have a C in the front of their jersey with stars underneath. Still not sure what they mean, it's something the NFL recently started doing within the last 10-15 years. Other than going out for the coin toss it's more of a symbolic thing. In baseball and basketball it's pretty much entirely symbolic and there's usually no indication of it on the jersey.

[@noahkane26]

There isn’t truly a “captain” on baseball teams. Hockey and football use captains, but not baseball or basketball. For the most part, the catcher is the leader of a baseball team because from his position, he can see the whole field. If a ball is hit deep into the outfield, he communicates where the outlet/relay has to go to. For example, if a runner is on first and the batter hits a double, that runner might try to go all the way from 1st base to home. As the outfielders chase the ball, the catcher yells “cut 4, cut 4!” Cut means to throw to the “cutoff” and the number corresponds to the bases. A cutoff is when a ball is hit into the outfield, the shortstop or 2nd baseman runs a little ways into the outfield to catch the throw. It is quicker to make two hard throws from the outfield to the infield, then to home plate, than it is to make one long throw

Here's an idea for a baseball video to react to: the last inning of the sixth game of the 1986 World Series between the New York Mets and the Boston Red Sox. This game has one of the most astounding finishes in history. All baseball fans know what happened. Please don't tell Luka! Let him experience it for the first time himself. The background is that the Red Sox led the series three games to two. They played game six in New York. If the Red Sox won, they'd be champions. If the Mets won, the Series would go on to a seventh game. They were tied three runs apiece at the end of the ninth inning, so they went into extra innings. The Mets had a chance to score another run in the ninth inning, but failed to drive it in. The announcers question several times the decision of the Mets' manager not to bunt. The entire game is on KZbin, but it's over three and a half hours. That's too long for a reaction video. Here's a link to the last inning, which is "only" about 30 minutes long: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGHNh5Khg9hlppI There's a commercial break at around 3:25:30 that you'll want to skip over. The action resumes at about 3:26:35.
