Umpires huddle up for a long time to confirm that the Padres reliever was balking, a breakdown

a free base runner. They lead to free

runs. The next batter steps up. Ball

inside. Catcher says, "Come on. Bring it

up. Get it to me. Come on. Come on." No,

dude. No, it's longer than that. You

have to throw it farther than that.

Let's have a mound visit. Seven pitches

in. Mound visit. Not a great start, but

you know, get ahead of it early. Get

ahead of it early. Hey guy, throw the

strikes. You know, come on now. This is

the bigs. 20 ball

three. Ball four. Mound visit did not

work. So now you've got the first two

batters are on.

Walk. You don't want them to come around

and score. That would be bad. You got to

buckle down. Ball

one. Ball two. Okay. Are we going to

swing here? We going to make something

happen?

strike two and one hits it. It goes

foul. And we're going to pause the video

and spend some time on this cuz it's a

good it's a good foul ball. You've got

this guy. It hits his hands. Oh, he

can't believe it. He's almost mad at his

fist. He's like,

"Oh, well, you betrayed me hand. What

the hell? It hit my [ __ ] hand. Right

in my hand. D hit my [ __ ] Come on." on.

And then you've got this dude in the

sunglasses who just starts diving for it

and then just falls and then the woman

next to him has to help him up. And then

you got this guy all the way in the back

who just doesn't move at all and the

ball falls into his lap. And there's

some life lesson to be learned here. You

know, hits off that guy's head. This

dude, he doesn't stand up. He's not

interested at all. The foul ball finds

him. He says, "Hey guys, I got it." They

say, "You look like you're from Chicago,

dude." And he's like, "I know." Or

there's this girl who's just laughing at

the whole thing. Which one are you?

Here's a cool shot off the hand.

Floating. Floating right into his gut.

He deserved it. Don't be overzealous.

Back to the game. Two two pitch. Two

runners on. A little slider on the

inside that lands fair. That's going to

score one run and then we got runners on

third and we got a runner on first. They

hold him to just a single, which is nice

because the double plays in order. And

that's good. Oh no, Justin Turner comes

up next. That's a sack fly. Both of the

guys that walked to start the game have

come around to score. It's three to two.

Padres's thought they were in a laugher.

Three nothing in the first. Turns out

they might be the laugh, not the

laughers. Another walk. Two on, no outs.

There's a strike. There's a There's a

ball. There's a strike. There's a foul

ball. We're ahead. Two- two. We're even.

We're ahead kind of two. One. Oh,

another good at bat. Good at bat here.

Full count. Foul ball. And then a base

hit up the middle. Double play ball. No.

Off the glove. That's going to score a

run. And they get to second cuz no one

covered the bag. It's just not good.

It's a tie game. There's one out, two in

scoring position. Right off of his

glove. So close. And then the glove

slowed it down which allowed the runner

to get to second. So now you don't have

the double play in order. We're going to

lay down a bunt. And they say, "Thank

you. We've been struggling to get outs.

So we appreciate the bunt because we

were really struggling to get out." He

said, "Okay, well at least there's not

two in scoring position now. There's

only one. That's good. Double play is

in." Ah [ __ ] He's still sucking double

play. They don't even need a double

play. What are you talking about, Jimmy?

Why don't you shut up about it? We got a

ball on the outside. We got a ball on

the inside. We got a ball on the

outside. We got a ball on the outside.

Another walk. Base is loaded. They say,

"You know what? Let's bring in another

guy." He's like, "Wedding ring off. What

up, Blue?" Secret handshake with the

umpire there. Base is loaded. Two outs.

New pitchers in. Second pitch. Nice

strike. And now here's where things get

interesting. Before he even starts

throwing his third pitch, the third base

umpire is calling time. He's like, "Hey,

stop. Stop. Time. Time. Everybody.

everybody that looks like me that's

wearing the same clothes, I need to

talk. They talk for a long time, like a

really long time. And the coaches are

just standing there being like, "What

are they talking about? I'd like to know

what are they discussing." And then he

says, "Okay, you guys want to know so

bad? I'll tell you." Goes and finds the

coach and he's going to let him know we

got a b. He's like, "Yeah, we got to b

here on the second pitch." And the

umpire is going to speak very slow,

almost one word at a time and really

break it down. He says, "You can't stop

after the

windup and you stopped." Yep, that's it.

Then he's going to go Horatio Sans, take

the sunglasses off. Respectful eye

contact with the manager and then he's

going to let him know. He's going to go

first one he did not. He kept going.

Second one he stopped and I noticed it.

You cannot stop and then throw the ball

to the plate. You can't stop

moving. He came to his set

stopped after you start your motion.

That's a B from the windup. That's what

we have. So I think the confusion. So a

run scores, but to break it down,

they're not calling a B on the third

pitch, which is what everyone thought

because if you if you were to just watch

the pitcher here, right? If I zoom in

here and just show you the picture, a

lot of people would think

that the bulk was called on this one,

which it could have been cuz he does

stop right there. But it actually

wasn't. It was called on the second

pitch. Just very delayed because I think

the umpire has to wait to see is he

going to throw to third or is he going

to go to home plate because he can't

call a buck until he sees him go back to

home plate after stopping. I think on

that part, I don't know. Or maybe

obviously they had a long visit with all

the umpires. So maybe the third base

umpire's like, "Hey, this is what I got.

I just want to make sure the rules

right." So it's weird that he didn't

call it right away because it's it's on

the second pitch, not on the third

pitch, which was never thrown. And that

confused some for you at home. And you

want to be like, did he stop? Well,

here's this angle and right there he is

stopped. And that's what they're saying

you cannot do and is a bulk. Here's

another angle of it. And right there he

stops. And if you at home want to see if

you can figure this out, if you can play

detective, leave a comment below. Which

one did he does he stop in? The left or

the right? You guys tell me which one is

it that he's stop and Okay, did you

figure it out? It's quite easy. If

that's the rule and the umpire's got it

correct, which I trust them to get it

correct, it's quite an easy rule. The

next pitch is a ball. The 3 0 is a

strike. And then the 3-1 pitch, we're

getting back in the count. He's

fighting. That is another foul ball. One

strike away, but uh oh, he's stopped

right there. They say, "Balk, b." So, he

throws it away because he heard them

yell balk, realized he boked, realized

another run scored. And he did because

he stopped. And like that guy said, you

can't stop. See, look, one, two, and

he's stopping. And that's something that

you're not allowed to do from the wind

up with runners on. Shield is just

looking out there like, this is bad. We

were up three nothing and I thought it

was going to be fun. Turns out it's not

fun. Umpire's like, I did my job. You

know, no one's mad at me about it. And

then 3-2, make a pitch. Make a pitch.

Fast ball caught. Line drive out of the

inning. 5 to3 Padres's. Wild one. And it

was brought to you by DraftKings, who

sponsor a lot of the breakdowns I make.

And I thank you guys for watching them.

And I thank them for sponsoring them.

And now I will rest my
