The ball that stuck in the wall is a ground rule double. You’ll see this a lot when the Cubs are playing at home, when a ball hit to the outfield gets lost in the ivy. The outfielder has to hold his arms up though to signify a timeout. If they make an attempt to go for the ball, play continues.
@grife30009 ай бұрын
It sometimes depends on the ump, the player can hold his hands up and signal for "unplayable ball" but they may or may not honor it, depending on where the ball is lodged. That one was pretty easily retrievable, so there's a chance that the umpires could let it play on and whatever the results of the play were stands. But generally they do honor the unplayable request. Especially when lost in the ivy.

Regarding the ball getting stuck in the glove, pitchers wear large gloves to conceal the ball. They also field closer to the batter than any other fielder. When the pitcher uses a glove for awhile, it gets old and floppy, and a hard hit ball will sometimes get lodged between the fingers of the glove. However, an example of a pitcher using sticky stuff can be seen in the intro, when the ball literally glued itself to Yadier Molina’s catcher gear.

it wasn't sticky stuff there, that just happens with that older style of catcher mask, which is why nobody uses it anymore. And I say that as a Cubs fan.

About the Mantis... in the US, we had an urban myth growing up as kids that if you hurt mantis you'd be fined $50, at least where I grew up. The general idea was just leave a mantis to do what it wants to do, and that they never hurt humans so you should just leave them to their own business. We also learn that if they need to fly away, they'll just fly away because, well, they can do that if they want. Mantids are good for gardens, generally, and the ecosystem, so long as they're native species.

@danbaker3009 ай бұрын
7:35 - if the ball gets stuck somewhere inaccessible, it is a ground rule double (same as if it bounced over the fence). Getting stuck in the ivy at Wrigley is the most common way for that to happen, but there have been balls hit through a hole in the bottom of the fence, or balls that bounced through an open door in the fence, or balls that get stuck in the roof at the Rays' ballpark (this famously happened at least once at the Twins' old park as well - a ball was hit through a hole in the roof and landed outside on the roof). Also, you cannot be out on a catch if the ball hits the fence, even if it never hits the ground.

If the ball hits the wall it’s the same as the ground. So the stuck ball is still in play unless it can’t be fielded. So if it was higher up and he couldn’t get it then it would be a double. But that instance would be the same as if it just hit the wall any other way since the fielder could reach it.
@arianaink1007 ай бұрын
1:56 sticky stuff is strictly prohibited in baseball all baseballs are brand new stamped and certified for playing the game - if the ball is tampered with it’s clearly noticed. The gloves themselves are leather with straps (each player has different methods for shaping the glove to their hand/to their size/flexibility etc) on occasion if the leather is worn or the straps are too loose the ball can be hit with force and wedge itself into the glove. It’s just stuck on the leather with friction or tangled in the leather straps/ties. The mitt over reaches the fingers by quite a few inches you want to catch the ball above your hand in the mitt, if it’s a little lower closer to the fingers/leather ties it can get stuck if it hits the palm of the hand it will hurt and can pop out of the glove.
@Hessen849 ай бұрын
If the ball hits the wall it is not a catch. The wall is just an extension of the ground really. So if it hits the wall first and goes into the glove it is a hit.

When the ball gets stuck in the glove, it gets caught in the webbing between the thumb and index finger. The leather in that area is tied more loosely than the rest of the glove. Sometimes an area wears iiself even more loose and the ball gets wedged in that area.
@areguapiri9 ай бұрын
Some baseball gloves contain a webbing with openings or "web style". Others dont. ...When a batted ball gets stuck somewhere, or goes out pf the field of play, the fielder must throw up his hands to signal to the umpires that something odd has happened to the ball. From that point, the umpires will make a decision on where to place the batter and runners.

I thought you guys were aware of what constitutes a catch, I guess 1 full season is not enough then...In Baseball, after the ball makes contact with the bat if the ball makes first contact with anything beside the fielder's body, then no "Flyout" will awarded....So if a ball touches a wall then into the fielders gloves without touching the ground, it will NOT count as an out therefore that ball getting stuck in Centerfield is either ruled live or (most likely) a "Ground-Rule Double"

Now that I thibk about it, Ive watched most of your baseball videos, and I dont think superstition has come up once. Baseball players are notoriously superstitious. Some guys will use different battig gloves every at bat until they get a hit, theb keep using them until the "magic wears off." Ive never aeen a pitcher step on a chalk line. Its hard to cite examples because everyone is different, but lots of players have weird warmup routines, little ticks tjey do before every pitch, or a ridiculous reason for some hideous facial hair choices. Jist another side of the game you can look into
