LeBron James is leading the NBA in 4th quarter scoring and he’s 39. Unbelievable

You guys should watch some sports movies. The Sandlot, Bull Durham, Major League, The Replacements, Remember the Titans, and I'm sure if you decide to there'll be numerous other suggestions. ✌️

At 25:20 it was EXTREMELY windy, and tracking balls when it's that windy is very hard especially when they're moving like crazy like they were there.

[@horacecock-johnson5035]

Yeah with strong winds a simple pop up or fly ball will make you look like an amateur.

[@blueshky]

1st clip- the pitcher and batter were teammates in the minors and good friends. all in good fun! nobody else knew that though lmao

[@andrewpiro9072]

1:44 the guy pitching is a position player, doing mop-up duty in a blow-out. That's why he's just lobbing the pitches in there, and everyone's goofing around. As it happens, that's Dee Strange-Gordon, who was featured in a video you guys did a few months ago - he's the guy who hit the home run right after Jose Ferndandez died.

[@GreatCdn59]

5:08 - State Farm was started back in the 1920s as a specialized insurance company for farmers, hence the name. (they obviously branched out since then lol)

[@supersasukemaniac]

15:31 that was the Bullpen Phone. With how far the Bullpens are from the Dugout, they have phones set up between the two. Usually only the manager an Pitching Coach use them.

[@fidge54]

When I lived in San Diego in the 80's beach balls coming down from the stands was quite common

[@johncagnettajr344]

State Farm is a legacy company that started out insuring farms against disasters like floods or drought . Also insurance for farm equipment.

[@procommunistdestruction2318]

The guy celebrating the catch they called Johnny over the green wall is a retired MLB hitter that is known for hitting big hits in the big moments like world series. Look him up sometime

[@hifijohn]

state farm started as low-cost automobile insurance to the farmers of Illinois, originally name named State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company.

[@supersasukemaniac]

About those three pop ups, Chicago has weird wind due to Lake Effect Wind from Lake Michigan. add to that, the way the wind travels around the buildings, and you get a comedy of errors on pop flies in Chicago, both for White Sox and Cubs. I think it's worse in Wrigley because the wind effectively just swirls randomly at Wrigley due to the bowl effect. Though those three clips where at, what is now Guaranteed Rate Field in the North Side of Chicago, home of the White Sox.

[@theedon501]

AYE I haven’t watched in awhile and that Mets joke caught me off-guard 🤣 y’all really starting to become real fans! Great reaction 💯

[@Beltran15x]

it was extremely windy its very difficult to catch high infield fly balls because they dance around everywhere.

[@colesmith7754]

Those fly balls at the end of the video were difficult because it was extremely windy that day and the ball would be changing direction in the air.

[@qwedsan3942]

There’s a reason Chicago is known as the windy city

[@colesmith7754]

The dugout phone rings directly to the bullpen! 🙂 It allows the manager to tell the bullpen coach who to get warmed up to pitch

State Farm is an insurance company,but they mainly do Car Insurance.

[@JimboKern99]

Statefarm is property and vehicle insurance, correct!

[@gregorywilliams1308]

On the pop ups, you are taught to move in on the ball, just in case, however someone needs to call for it. Also, the two balls that were missed, was in Chicago, which is known as the Windy City. Those balls were taken by the wind, and were hard to judge.

[@JAB2010]

But the “windy city” has nothing to do with actual wind

[@psymar]

​@@JAB2010Maybe not but Wrigley in particular is infamous for wind. If the wind is blowing out, both teams might score 20 (it's happened twice at Wrigley and never elsewhere.) If the wind is blowing in, well, the 1990 Home Run Derby was held at Wrigley. Ryne Sandberg, of the Cubs, hit 3 home runs. The other 7 contestants combined for 2 home runs.

[@gregorywilliams1308]

@@JAB2010 you are wrong here. Chicago has Lake Affect wind, and it is on the Plains. There is sever wind all the time.

[@benjaylehman]

⁠@@gregorywilliams1308they’re right though. While it may be windy, it was named the Windy City because the politicians of the time were “full of wind”

If you're gonna look at a bumgarner video look at his 2014 run. Especially the post season. You guys might be remembering the stare down correctly too. There's an epic stare down between Joe West and Bum where they just stare for like 30 seconds straight over a disputed strike non-call.

25:20 it's windy as hell!

[@WhodatLucy]

An injured opposing pitcher was sitting in the stands facing the pitcher giving signals what the batter was going to do of course the wrong signals

[@perchanceimhim]

this is my favorite series, keep it going!

[@ThatCronus]

Glad you guys got around to these. I believe this is the last one though.

[@psymar]

One of the recent rule changes is they increased the size of the bases to help cut down on those cases where the runner runs into the basemen LOL those hugs

[@JPMadden]

At 4:49, what's funny is that a human outline has been added to the State Farm sign where the outfielder crashed into the wall the day before.

[@mbdg6810]

There is a jomboy video about Madison Bumgardner’s interaction with an ump, but i don’t know if thats one you’ve reacted to.

[@hifijohn]

it was very windy for the white sox/Seattle game the icing on the cake was stone and Benetti referenced the old association song,windy.

[@ncg195]

The phones in the dugout go to the bullpen. It's there so that the manager can tell the bullpen coach who he wants to start warming up, since only two relievers can be throwing at a time. I'm actually surprised that those phones are still used now that we have text messages. There was an incident a number of years ago during a playoff game where the Cardinals ended up bringing in a different reliever than the manager wanted because the bullpen coach had misheard who he wanted to start warming up. The miscommunication was blamed on crowd noise. I don't remember exactly when that was, but it was definitely this century and well after texting was commonplace.

[@cygnusx-3217]

27:04 The wind was gusting and pop ups were impossible to catch.

[@psymar]

27:33 that isn't just 3 in one game. That's 3 in a row. The whole sequence started with 2 outs in the 5th.

[@hatleyhoward7193]

State Farm has Personal Auto, Renters, and Homeowners as their primary business. They sell Commercial Auto and Property under Lloyds, but it’s a small part of their business. State Farm is famous to other insurance companies for denying liability when they are at fault, and then letting it go to arbitration so that they can tell there customers that they don’t feel they are at fault, while paying out what they should have from the get-go. It’s a way for them to provide customer service by not disagreeing with the customer, despite wasting everyone’s time with answering a ridiculous arbitration filing or filing a lawsuit to indemnify the not at fault party. I work in insurance and have State Farm because I know my rates won’t go up as they will almost always, barring a rear end scenario, side with me and find me not at fault… even if I am.

[@Leafsdude]

9:32 - The pitcher is pretending to the a position player, eg: 1st baseman. If you watch games closely, you'll notice pitchers usually take their time making their way back to the dugout after the last out of an inning, to the point where they're usually the last ones in. This is for a few reasons, but the two most obvious is: position players hit and pitcher's don't (not always the case, but usually at least always a truth as far as skill) and because on defense, pitcher is the most labour-intensive position. The last part to really get the joke is, pitchers are not suppose to catch pop-ups, as, again, they are pitchers, not catchers. So, Burnes, after catching a pop-up (clearly because his catcher had entirely lost it - probably windy conditions), pretended he was a position player, because he's not. :)

[@TreyM1609]

I also learned to juggle when I was a freshman in college cause as a pitcher I pitched in only 3 games the whole season. My main job was starting cheers, learning to juggle and being there before and after practice running foul poles. So ya I’m a good juggler

[@jshoebot]

You absolutely should do a video on Bumgarner. He was great back in the day. I also love his old school attitude, yelling at hitters and things like that. Not enough of that left in the game imo.

[@lowfuel6089]

The phone in the dugout is to talk to the Bullpen coach and let them know what pitchers you want warming up.

[@StanSwan]

State Farm started out selling crop insurance to farmers. If your crop fails due to weather you can collect.

[@nedludd7622]

An educational game that shows how the unexpected can happen in baseball is the Padres vs Cubs game of 4/8/24.

[@ntrong32]

10:26 I think Burnes said later that he had to go to the toilet.

[@johnniekight1879]

The 5 couldn't catch it because the wind kept blowing it away from them.

[@ncg195]

On Corbin Burnes catching the popup for the third out and then sprinting into the dugout, there's a couple of unwritten rules having to do with infield popups. Generally, there's a pecking order on who should be the one to field it, established to prevent players from running into each other and getting hurt. For example, the shortstop is usually given first priority; if the shortstop is close enough, everyone else should give way. The biggest rule with this is that the pitcher should never be the one to field the popup, possibly because the pitcher is (presumably) the most valuable and the one you least want to get injured (certainly the case for Corbin Burnes), but more likely because position players don't consider pitchers to be "athletes," so a pitcher catching a popup is a shot at their pride. That should give some context as to why Burnes caught the ball, looked at his catcher who was initially calling for it, and then ran away with the ball. He was jokingly showing up his teammates.

[@evanlucas8733]

The dugout phone goes to the bullpen so the manager can tell the bullpen coach which pitcher/pitchers to start warming up.

[@abcArtByCarrie]

I’m sure someone already mentioned it but home “base” is called home plate.

[@Beltran15x]

probably had to go to the bathroom cuz corbin ran straight into the clubhouse.

[@johncagnettajr344]

The phone is connected to the bullpen. Manger calls the bullpen coach.

[@fidge54]

Is home plate a base? Home runs are sometimes called "4 baggers" (?)

[@apatheticwraith]

Home is still a base, old mfs remember calling it homebase. Edit: Dollar Hotdogs are epic

[@FuckYoutubeAndGoogle]

Home Plate has been called Home Plate for at least 100 years.

state farm does not do health insurance,. auto, homeowners, renters insurance, they're also a bank.

[@johncagnettajr344]

The issue was the sun was blinding the players from zeroing in on the fly ball.

Bumgarner is one of the best postseason players of all time.His postseason stats are amazing. If you want to take a look at him look at his 2014 numbers.

[@hatleyhoward7193]

Some pitchers will hit batters on purpose. That was clearly not the case here and the pitcher was concerned immediately for the other player immediately after it happened. It’s super obvious when it’s meant to be on purpose.

Anyone else bothered by these two gents talking throughout the video? I usually like you guys but the chatting here made it hard to follow what was going on. The baseball announcers will often give context to these situations but you have to listen. By all means, talk it up. I like your banter, but use the pause button so we (and you) can hear what’s being said.
