Hey Matt, what's it like playing with foreign players who don't speak English as a first language?

[@elliotransom6185]

Hey Matt, great videos! Can you do one on the unwritten rules?

[@joemckim1183]

One of the base coaches is usually the infield instuctor and the other is the outfield instructor a lot of times. So in pre game activities they help instruct players on how to field their positions.

Another #Blessed #Lit #Legit #OppoTaco #Whistle vid from da GOAT Matty Ice!

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Hahaha thanks! Thanks for watching!

[@thomasradigan8411]

quick question, does a first base coach scream “back” when a pitcher throws over?

[@jordanwest43]

That was beautifully illustrated.

[@jasonfuentes6084]

hey Matt thanks, am a ex( a goalie at that) hockey player , who got a job coaching , and i ended up being a asist coach for a travel team( ll U. i had no idea other then remind them to take a larger lead , cause i always let the head coach make those calls. Am learning a lot about being a coach and but kinda lost because i learn baseball in the streets like the sandlot movie. Also am kinda coach like i rises which is from a hockey back round ; which was practice like u play a game , i want to run them more but my boys are country club types and there parents handcuff us. so i got to deal with that mindset. Any tips for on being a coach /first base coach.

[@sclauher]

So if the guy on first is a good base-stealer, and has the green light almost always, when the third base coach gives out signs, that is usually given for the batter to understand what's going down, correct? Are there differences on when the manager wants his guy to steal a base and gives the sign to him, compared to when the guy always have the green light; like does the base stealer sort of know when the manager wants him to steal a base? I hope this makes sense. Great video, and keep up the great work!

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Sometimes the steal comes from the manager and sometimes it is from the runner. It really depends. Thanks for watching!

[@NickKravitz]

Isn't is better strategy to be more aggressive and take risks when behind runs? In this case upside worth more than downside.

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Not sure about that. Depends how many you are behind I guess. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@geraldsmalton2420]

You guys have a deal going on with plate crate? I've been watching your videos for months and this is the first I've heard of it!

[@SanLewy]

Matt: Could you please discuss "bench coaches" too at some point?

[@MrGreen-vu6dy]

Mr.Lewy, I never thought that I'd ever find a channel as perfect as yours. #MuscleCars #AmatureWrestling #PopeVideos and #AntiAbortion videos all in the same place? You've earned yourself a sub sir as well as the like button getting #SMASHED on all of your videos!

[@AntonelliBaseball]

Sure thing!!

[@MrGuzmanra]

[@AntonelliBaseball]

They help with that too!

[@danroux4010]

Man, are those 2nd base coaches ever elusive!

[@dontdoittoyoself6786]

Turn my homerun into a triple is what he did.

[@shannonwilliams1941]

Somebody likes to blow their whistle!

[@MrGreen-vu6dy]

Good one Shannon! You're a master of #Spicy #Memes

[@eugeneczyzewski7237]

Pardon my ignorance. I watch a lot of baseball, so I understand the first base coach job. I understand the third base coach job. I understand the pitching coach's job. I understand the batting coach's job. But what the heck is the bench coach's job?

[@maddenwithalex2569]

Just saying that whistle is anyoing

[@shaynebenjamin8267]

[@MrGreen-vu6dy]

Congrats man! Proud of you! Great moves! Keep it up Shayne!

[@ericveneto1593]

Ever see this happen: 3rd base coach is waving guy home, but he stops. Coach asks,"why did you stop?" Runner says,"Sorry but I REALLY like fruit cup." ;)

[@superduty4556]

They clap a lot, take my batting gloves and give my booty a slap when I hit dingers.

[@MH-Tesla]

Redo video without whistle. Can't take it.
