I’ve only ever called a balk on obvious balks. The whole stepping off the mound after being set is a new rule (as of a few years ago) and still doesn’t make sense to me.
@@nolansprojects2840 Oh, that IS the rule? That's the only thing I could figure out it could be and that totally didn't make sense to me. Personally, feels like a weird rule change, and I'm not liking it.
I was at that sumo event too. The image that will never get out of my mind was from the third place winner. When speaking with the in ring commentator, she asked him how he will celebrate? His answer included getting on his hotel bed naked and eating fried chicken. Dude was a 6'3" 370 pound Egyptian guy, who loves his food...
About the UAE tour crash: it was actually contact unrelated to the rider moving over that started the chaos at the finish. There's helicopter footage showing 2 riders making contact, and going down and taking a large part of the field with them. From what it looks like, someone dropping back from the sprint leadout clipped the wheel of someone moving up from behind, and that was it. You can't always rely on the footage from the front of the race, as telephoto lenses always flatten an image and make things look a lot closer than they actually are.
I've been watching these since they started, and this is probably the best crop of "Things You've Misseds" yet, bolstered by the live Sumo. Just banger after banger
jomboy showing ucsd (alma mater) makes me happy. the basketball game they played against sdsu months ago was so hype, ended up losing to a buzzer beater
I love that you guys respect all sports and give them all attention. If you have a genuine interest in Sumo you should react to Mitsugu’s 53 win streak in 1988. That would be a great video.
Suno and Sushi is much more similar to real sumo than the World Championships. It is MCed by a former Ozeki (Konishiki) and has the same rituals and decorum. That being said, a lot of it is explaining sumo and only the end is bouts, which are likely choreographed.
Sumo is awesome! The March basho is coming up in a few weeks. Jomboy yiu need to watch Japanese sumo. Hoshoryu stares down his opponents before the match. You would enjoy the hell out of sumo. Smaller guys sometimes beating bigger guys is fun to watch.
Jomboy's been breaking down Japanese Sumo on these "Things You've Missed" videos since they started pretty much! That's why he was invited in the first place! He's done a few great breakdowns of smaller guys taking down bigger guys!
i mean, Sumo Worlds aren't so bad since the mat is level with the floor, actual Sumo would be scary since it's an elevated Ring and their isn't much separating the rikishi from the fans outside of a couple of the other wrestlers, one of the refs, and a bunch of old farts.
I would pay to have a real Rikishi fall on me. Especially Ura. Or Midorifuji, Tobizaru, Kirishima, Hoshoryu, Atamifuji, Ichiyamamoto, Shishi, Miyagi, Asanoyama, Asakoryu, Nabatame, any of the Waka brothers, Nob Dog, or Onosato.
5:33 his back leg twitched the *tiniest* amount and froze again on the rubber, which falls well within "judgement call" territory but could fairly be called a balk. You can see it more clearly at the top of the knee
Yes you can. Don’t know where the balk was nor did Jomboy explain. MLB pitchers have done this countless times and it is never called a balk. Coming set then stepping off directly after isn’t a problem at all.
The Panathinaikos v PAOK game 2 in the Greek cup is an ending I think you'd enjoy! Insane last minute goal to send to overtime - with a score of 2-1! The team that lost won in a fun way
I REALLY love watching PLL games. Lacrosse is becoming my favorite sport to watch now. It's got everything I love from a whole lot of sports all combined in the same game.
The Egyptian guy who won this event "Sand Storm" is a former top division wrestler in Japan, formerly known as Oosunaarashi. A disgraced (forced into retirement) former Japan pro because he had a hard time following their rather strict rules. He wasn't bad, but was never really a top guy in the division. He still looks strong after all these years though! But yeah this is no comparison to the real guys in Japan.
@@RussellBeattieThat exact thing happened though. There was a World Cup of American Football from 1999 to 2015, and Japan won the first two championships. The United States chose not to participate. Likewise I'm sure the World Championship of Sumo would gladly welcome Japan's greatest stars, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were turned down. They're still touring the world though, so it wouldn't make sense to call it the American Sumo Championship.
Culdesac = roundabout. Genuinely feel bad for that SJSU pitcher on that game-tying balk. Pitch clock and batter in the box rules hosed him more than anything. Not even sure the first balk the umpires could not explain was a balk at all.
Love seeing a baseball fan watch other sports and being this excited over every single other thing he seems simply because there’s actually something happening. Has to be like a Brit trying salt and pepper
This man called two grown ass men beached whales and then referred to one of them as a "that" please protect Jomboy at all costs, he is a national treasure. 😂
That second balk shows how foolish the rule is. I get when it's used for deception - but how can you deceive a player that isn't even in the batters box?
University of south Florida basketball is 13-0 with some very close games. No idea why they aren’t ranked yet, but I doubt not many ppl realize their Cinderella story, as they were slated to be ninth but are now first in the conference.
all those balks feel like a coaching problem to me - seems pretty clear that the pitcher doesn't know or understand when he is and is not allowed to step off the mound, and that's a coach's responsibility to make sure he does.
😂 The judge not wearing a fancy robe and the lack of somebody always yelling "DADA WHOOP!!" repeatedly make this event lack some of the authentic Sumo athmosphere but it's still awesome and much cooler than expected!
@adam_b9903 I don't see why the first balk was called...but the second time he failed to come set before stepping off. I've watched the first one over and over and can't see why the balk was called
We had umpire during the week call a balk with no-one on, the batter had 3 balls on him and awarded the batter 1st base….. luckily common sense prevailed and he called the batter back but I agree balk calls are very subjective
@chrisbarker6797 that's wild...you can definitely balk with no runners on but that doesn't mean the batter gets first. I would've been watching the rest of the game from the lockerroom/stands if I were the coach lol
Perhaps there is different rules for that level of baseball? Maybe disengaging from the rubber after you are set to start pitching is enough to be a balk. I don't know though. It was weird to me as well.
First one looks like a knee-buckle balk, he started to move the front knee (can't see it very well from this angle, but you can see his shin move) before stepping off. Second one is a very simple start-stop balk, he brings his hands together, but doesn't continue his motion.
On the second one he didn't come to set and a complete stop (possibly this only matters on an actual pitch), and he separated his hands before stepping off (definitely a balk). I couldn't see anything wrong with the first balk, but maybe he flinched more than it appeared from this angle, or maybe he moved his left foot in some way not visible to the camera. Or the umpire may have thought he turned his body back to second before stepping off. I would love to hear the umpire's explanation though. Balk rules are weird.
@@SHSrunner09 No problem! Yeah, they are pretty difficult, particularly at the higher levels. I work mostly 16U and below, so stuff like that doesn't get called unless it is pretty bad, but watching training videos/analyzing pro balk calls can be really educational! CloseCallSports RUclips channel has some fanastic rule analysis videos that help too!
At 08:35 you say that the bicyclists are rounding a cul-de-sac. That is a Roundabout, or as they call it here in Long Beach, CA, a Traffic Circle. A cul-de-sac is a dead end street.
In the second sumo round, it looks to me like Bear's socked toe touches outside the ring a split second before the other guy's foot touches. I'd like to see a super slow replay from another angle on that one.
You should give him some slack. Those New Jersey drivers are so poor they don’t trust them to be able to turn left or fill up their own gas like civilized people.
Those 2 guys when they hit the ground probably had HRs in the 180-190bpm range lol. They were so gassed The cycling thing, thats what happens when the pelaton IS the lead group. Way too many riders in that group to the finish. Looks like no one could stage a break away
howdy mister jomboy woud love to see some clips from the PWHL ! its the new professional womens hockey league, they stream all the games on youtube, lots of physical play, fast skating, good stick work .
Just putting it out there that the Cannons probanly won that game through a couple of incredibly dirty plays on defence early in the game. Took out Phillys best offensive player in the first period and a head to head hit and kept that up. PLL isn't really there with how to avoid issues like this in a condensed version of the game like Sixes, not a fan.
I feel like most umpires couldn’t even give you an explanation of what a balk is. They’re just like “ yup, that looked weird, take your base”
Especially these two.
I’ve only ever called a balk on obvious balks. The whole stepping off the mound after being set is a new rule (as of a few years ago) and still doesn’t make sense to me.
On the second one it looked like he put his hands together and then released them before stepping off. That's my guess why they called that one.
His right leg flinched just before he stepped off.

Chiyonofuji is his surname; Japanese names put the surname first.

In traditional Japanese sumo it's considered good luck to have a rikishi fall on you!
I sat courtside for one nba game and got kneed in the face.
The way he was talking about sweat flying I wouldnt want to be in the splash zone for sure

"A ton of fun!" I like what you did, there. 😅
This was prime late 90s ESPN. Just amazing Jim.
Best show on the internet!!
You're spot on. I never planned on watching these.
Live breakdowns are hilarious
Love love love to see cycling content in Jomboy videos! More please!
I like fan C, he just seems content sittin there cross legged
I'm sure someone here will be able to give some clarification but that pair of balks confused me. You can't step off the rubber once you come set now?
Yes you can. Don’t know where the balk was nor did Jomboy explain. MLB pitchers have done this countless times and it is never called a balk. Coming set then stepping off directly after isn’t a problem at all.
You gotta check out the finish of the NASCAR race at Atlanta Jomboy. They finished side by side by side almost all dead even
I was there. It was wild. Saw them go four wide earlier in the race, all the way through turns 1 and 2. No idea how they made it.
The Panathinaikos v PAOK game 2 in the Greek cup is an ending I think you'd enjoy! Insane last minute goal to send to overtime - with a score of 2-1! The team that lost won in a fun way

"I don't know if you could hug that" is amazing
LoL I lost it lmao
Fan of the week is easily D. Pure fan energy that didn't care about being on camera.
Anybody else think it’s weird calling it the world championship of sumo outside of Japan
Came to comment the same thing
Imagine if there was an American football league in Japan called the "World Championship Football League"? It'd be just as ludicrous.
yeah lol. Japan is the real world sumo championship, there are a lot of non Japanese wrestlers that try to move up the ranks
The Egyptian guy who won this event "Sand Storm" is a former top division wrestler in Japan, formerly known as Oosunaarashi. A disgraced (forced into retirement) former Japan pro because he had a hard time following their rather strict rules. He wasn't bad, but was never really a top guy in the division.

baseball is so insane that over a hundred years later you'll see something and just say "I didn't even think that was possible"
Fan of the week has to be Jomboy sitting crisscross, applesauce, hands in his lap on the mat…watching sweaty big people wrestle😂…thats dedication
Hey now, Hands holding the selfie camera! Doing work. Criss cross applesauce was brutal though. Stood up and legs felt broken
@@JomboyMediadid you sneak down into that spot? Sitting on the floor as an old man is a pretty bold choice
That college baseball game was incredible. I love it when people don’t give up while down big.
You love watching refs call 2 balks on legal motions handing the game to the other team?
The pll preseason tourney was hype, wishin the chaos did make it d’o

Live sumo looks awesome!
Early season college baseball is absolutely wild.
Love the sumo coverage.
ESPN is sleepin
This gives me flashbacks to the Japanese Sumo seasonal basho being on ESPN2 at like 1 AM when I was younger. Those were so much fun to watch.
That intro was just too damn good
These are the best Jimmy
That second balk shows how foolish the rule is. I get when it's used for deception - but how can you deceive a player that isn't even in the batters box?
That goal kick was a missile!
C gets my vote for fan of the week.
Hopefully this will get more people interested in sumo. If you enjoy this, you'll really enjoy the Japanese Basho (Grand Sumo Tournaments).
Fan of the week is clearly the criss-cross-apple-sauce beauty in blue.
Ooh as a huge pro cycling fan you should do more cycling breakdowns
C. is the fan of the week!!!
Jomboy breaks down cycling!?😲We need a Lanterne Rouge/Jomboy "Things You Missed" special edition!
the final of the uae tour was insane someone won the race by taking some bonus seconds in a flat stage, and won cuz of the bonus seconds.

Love to see our Greco guys compete in this
Hopefully someday Jomboy can do a vlog for baseball and sumo in Japan.
balks seem like just whatever the umpire is feeling today. can you not step off the mound anymore?
yeah i'm also unsure why those were balks. very confused. and jomboy usually explains that stuff so i'm even extra confused
@adam_b9903 I don't see why the first balk was called...but the second time he failed to come set before stepping off. I've watched the first one over and over and can't see why the balk was called

Pretty dope event to go too
This sumo is awesome!
With due respect to those wrestlers, the Honbasho in Japan are it. Go to one of those live!
Why were they balks? Looks like he stayed still and then removed back foot from the rubber in a way that was not gesturing towards a pitch?

finally cycling!!!
Tim Merlier (Murr-Leer) is just dominant rn, would have won without the crash ez
fan C wins it for life
C looks like a pretty cool guy I guess 😄
@Jomboy it's not a cul-de-sac, it's a roundabout.
i think he lives in new jersey so i would've at least accepted "circle"
You should give him some slack. Those New Jersey drivers are so poor they don’t trust them to be able to turn left or fill up their own gas like civilized people.
Can anyone explain how that first balk was a balk? I’m not seeing it.
I'm 40 and have been watching baseball since I was 5, and still don't understand the balk rules. What did the pitcher do wrong in those two instances?
Give me a breakdown of the Duke player or Cam Newton please!!
NGL, that sumo looked fixed. Fan C is a nerd! lol
Those 2 guys when they hit the ground probably had HRs in the 180-190bpm range lol. They were so gassed

Do more bikes!
Yeah, though I recognized the guy in purple. He's a former top flight sumo wrestler in Japan.
Both were in Japan for a little bit. I believe the first level down from the highest level.
One horrifying thing to remember about the cycling crashes is that they have their feet clipped to the pedals
