Two of the most colorful characters in the last decade; in a sport, whose lore is chock FULL of such people. This should be fun! As an NL Central guy (lifetime Cub fan here, and despite the rivalry, I enjoy watching St. Louis play- they are alway's fundamentally solid), I didn't get to see a ton of Yasiel. Except on Baseball Tonight highlights and the occasional Game Of the Week, until Puig was traded to the Reds. And he was hurt, or underperforming, a good amount of the time he was with that club. So, mostly, I remember Puig as being the talented, but inconsistent, bat-licking right fielder, whom you dared not take an extra base on his cannon of an arm. MadBum, on the other hand, I know all too well. Seeing him twice a year, at least, on the mound and then some more in the postseason, he was consistently the most feared guy on San Fran's staff, if not the NL as a whole. It was weird to see him in an Arizona uniform. I still haven't become accustomed to it. Side note: TWO Clara Morris vid's in the last two weeks!!

I hate to keep being the one to break this to fellow baseball fans, but the unwritten rules are one of the biggest reasons why people who don't like baseball think that baseball is stupid. And they aren't wrong. It boggles my mind that a hitter looking at a home run for a couple of seconds can still be treated as a huge deal. No other sport is like this. Basketball, football (American and beyond), hockey... you name it. The fans, competitors, media, and even coaches in those games have collectively accepted that if someone does something really good, they and their teammates get to enjoy it. Even including absurdly elaborate group celebrations. Baseball is the only game where people still cling to the mindset that I don't enjoy losing, so you aren't allowed to enjoy winning. Thankfully, there's finally been significant pushback against this in recent years. Hopefully it's something that the game can put behind it soon, but I'm sure it'll continue to linger as long as Boomers make up a majority of the viewing audience and teams are still hiring fossils like Tony LaRussa as managers. 🙄

Hearing Clara’s voice lets you know it’s going to be a good one

[@thejmc4074]

I feel the exact opposite.

[@danielsavitz5774]

I really hope they get to face each other again. Neither of them are dominant anymore, but I know they'll both step up their game if they get that chance. They're more alike than they think, and my guess is that they'll have a mutual respect for one another once their careers come to a close.

I still remember puigs first homer off madbum and knew it was gonna be wild from there

We want to see Charles Barkley V.S. Skip Bayless. Your views would go through the roof.

Well this was a pleasant surprise Happy Tuesday!!

I'm still waiting on a Aaron Rodgers vs Mike McCarthy BEEF episode. Make it happen!

[@brandon-yu]

I'd actually be more interested in Aaron Rodgers vs Ryan Braun. More stuff that's out there in the media.

[@seanfraser9162]

Clara Morris, I love your voice.

[@KDSRirelandboy1]

The classic old-school etiquette lover, versus the new-school etiquette smasher.

[@GregTheTerrible]

Considering MadBum has three World Series rings (one of which he was the MVP of) and is still in MLB, I think it’s pretty clear who won this beef.

[@LtNduati]

Maybe it's because nothing even vaguely exciting ever happens in a baseball game, but baseball beef is just *_chef's kiss_* it's probably so good because it's such a slow burn because of the sport

[@thelategreatthanos5211]

[@meatballsportstalk6297]

It always puzzles me when people get pissed at batters for celebrating when they go yard like don't let me hit a home run then

[@meatballsportstalk6297]

[@denistuohy2535]

Puig should be in the league he’s good and more importantly he’s good for the game

[@SplatterJacked]

Lol, its funny to watch Bumgardner yell at Puig like he thinks he's got a chance if there happened to be a physical confrontation. They really could of shortened his last name to about three letters.

[@dirtydan1741]

You act like Bumgarner isn't 6'4, 260 pounds. He has more weight and height than Puig.

[@Michael-eq8th]

“Guy who wore his emotions on his sleeve, and was always showing his sleeves to people.” Nice!

[@matthewrobert1810]

Bumgarner legit got mad at a guy for getting mad at a pop fly. The dudes a loose cannon lol

[@hollycardinal5294]

So not only do I hate pitchers because they're the most whiny, entitled people in all of athletics period, but they can get away with attempting to grievously injure or kill people since a major league fastball that tags you can be a permanent injury. Intentionally beaning someone to get them on base like bonds is one thing, but batters sure as hell arent allowed to walk up to the mound and swing the bat at a pitcher. If I became the head of MLB tomorrow, I'd put a rule on that if you intentionally throw the ball at a batter to injure them, you're banned from playing pro baseball for life at MINIMUM. If I could have my way you should get booked for aggravated assault for doing it too.

[@jdotscott3527]

Fun fact in the clip you have of the pirates reds fight puig shouldn’t have even been on the field because he was traded mid game😂😂

[@chillsportsfanatic372]

Stephan A Smith vs Max Kellerman how first take became split take

[@pangiokuhli512]

i doubt that's a real beef tbh.... sounds like something's they cooked up behind the scenes to get more eyes on their show

[@kumarg3598]

There was a racial, ethnic, and classist undertone to the whole thing. Ever notice how the new escuala has a brown complexion and the Olde school is very white.

[@misterscottintheway]

I say this regularly and get dragged for it every time

[@kumarg3598]

@@misterscottintheway what's even stranger is that if you read about baseball from 1901 to like 1951, baseball players out their emotion on the field. Baseball players would fight fans in the stands.

[@henrymanzano9168]

Very. It's a narrative that's pushed hard throughout sports

[@jonjrambo7976]

2:25 Oof. Clara can't deliver a line to save her life.. enough already, you have good narrators you can use, she's painful to listen to.

Great chipmunk review.

Great to know almost no place in MLB for babies like Madison.

I just wanna see the dodgers destroy Bumgarner over and over as usual, even better that he's on diamondbacks, hope he stays there.

OMG,yes!

[@sinicalypse]

What's puig like? When he was in AA Chattanooga he was pulled over by cops going like 110+ mph and when they were writing him the ticket he was like "do you know who i am? I'm not going to be around here long"

[@lttorok8196]

What is the neon green necklace Puig was wearing called when he was on the Dodgers

[@jammyjam353]

Bumgarner is the classic “Hold me back, hold me back“ athlete. Not a real man. Had mommy issues so he wants to try to give the impression he’s a tough guy because of misplaced insecurities. He couldn’t fight his way out of a paper bag. Soft.... to the core. But.. “everybody look at me, look. I’m mad. I’m tough right, guys? Because I look mean when someone gets a hit off of me. So guys, think I’m tough. Please..... wait you guys are gonna hold me back right? Oh ok just checking... but yeah as I was saying, I’m tough.“

[@maximebousqet1177]

You sound even softer

[@henrymanzano9168]

@Jammy Jam Exactly!

[@ChrisWalters_910]

I'm from NC and I was senior in HS in 2006. He played against a state legendary team that was in our conference. Scotland County High were he dominated Game 1 of a best of 3 State Championship but loss the state championship that year all to come back his senior year and win the State Championship in 2007. He got drafted 10th overall and people from NC were happy but we had never seen this side of him and although he is a great pitcher, he just makes people from NC look bad because of his temper tantrums when things don't go his way. I respect what he's done but he's still got a lot of growing up to do.

[@Outlaws-dg3zv]

Can we get a beef history of the Reds and Pirates in 2019

[@NoUploadJustComment]

Madison Bumgarner is the Kylo Ren of baseball. He's intense, has a short temper, extremely talented, and a total headcase.

[@Gmark25]

I've always said Puig would dismantle MadBum on a one on one. Weird though that Secret Base didn't include the assault trial on Puig though. Dude is one hell of an athlete but to ignore the reason he's playing in a different country seems odd.

[@jonathonschwendler4644]

Not a huge baseball fan so I have no clue about the etiquette, but is MadBum just thin skinned?

[@henrymanzano9168]

Yes. Very
