You won’t BELIEVE why this MLB player got pissed at a fan

I feel bad for the fan, and I'll feel bad for YOU if you don't save money on your tickets. Click here for a discount from SeatGeek:
seatgeek.oneli...
But you know what? I also feel bad for the player. What do you think? I've never seen anything like this, and of course it happened at loanDepot Park, which is the weirdest venue in Major League Baseball.
The Pittsburgh Pirates were here to face the Miami Marlins, and of all people, it was last year's NL Cy Young Award winner, Sandy Alcantara, who had this funny interaction with the fan.
Meanwhile I had a particularly frustrating time at this game (which took place on June 23, 2023). The Marlins were supposed to use commemorative baseballs for their 30th anniversary, but because of a mistake on their part, those balls were NOT used. So now what? Do I need to come back to Miami this season and try again to catch one? Uggggghhhhhhh.
Anyway, as promised here's my vlog from Grenada:
• VLOG #20 -- Grenada! D...
Thanks for watching and thanks to Rachel Messbauer for filming and editing the Marlins video.

[@mr.millerrr6006]

I was the guy who couldn’t catch shit. It was funny though and I loved how sandy gave me a bunch of chances. I even got to speak with him. Also Zach was awesome. Great Video❤

[@zackhample]

Aww man, I'm sorry about that and I'm glad you're cool with the video . . . and I hope you get back out there soon and snag one!

[@jorgerodriguez85]

Don't worry kiddo. We all miss, even with experience. One time I played in an adult league softball game in left field. I thought for sure the ball was coming right to me, & it sailed over my head. You'll catch on (no puns intended) in no time !👍

My favorite player of collage games I watch was drafted to the Texas rangers.

[@josiahtribble1706]

Instead of the player getting annoyed at the fan that can’t catch a ball, he should be thinking the fan in question wasn’t actually taught how to effectively catch a baseball, instead of getting mad, teach the person the mechanics and techniques of catching a baseball, it’s not the fan’s fault he doesn’t know how read a thrown and hit ball in how to catch it on the fly or a ball thrown. There’s always room for understanding and compassion.

[@zackhample]

Hey Zack! This is Noah (the ball boy from your last video) I wanted to comment what i'm about to tell you on your last video, but I didn't know whether you'd see it or not. it was a pleasure meeting you and if you're ever back in Miami for a game let me know! I actually happened to get quite a good amount of the 30th anniversary baseballs (like 3 or 4 in great condition). anyways I'm sure you saw already but I warm up the left fielder (typically Bryan de la Cruz) and throw a ball out to the center fielder (now Dane Myers). I get these balls from a bag that the bullpen pitching coach gives me before each game. And I saw that there where some 30th anniversary balls inside said bag, I asked the coach if I could take them home and he said yes! Long story short i'd be willing to give you one if you want whenever you come back to Miami. :) Love your videos man keep up the great content 🙌 -from Noah⚾

[@zackhample]

Noah!! It's great to hear from you. Thank you for being so chill. I greatly appreciate your offer to hook me up with one of those balls, but I'm weird and I would only be able to "count" it in my collection if it comes from you as a stadium employee, and as I recall, you're either done working at the stadium or you WILL be done there soon. I'm hoping to make it back there this season. Hmm . . .

@@zackhample Trust me I understand the reasoning behind the "I would only be able to "count" it in my collection if it comes from you as a stadium employee" statement. And I did figure that might be the case. but I think you're in luck because I'm staying a little longer in Miami because the trip I told you about got postponed by a few months (which I'm actually not to upset about). so If you do ever come back I can hook you up with a ball as a "official marlins employee" 😂.
