ilovebrandnewcarpets Because MLB executives are idiots. The 4 pitch intentional walk that happens maybe once, rarely twice a game does not hurt anything. Now, the pressure is off the pitcher. This video should serve as a reason against the 1 pitch intentional walk. MLB is hurting itself more than it helps itself. People like the NBA and NFL, not only because it is high-action, but because athletes are allowed to celebrate. Today, players can't express emotion without the umpire getting on their case. MLB once did fine with no pace of play rules. The game pace is not the issue. This World Baseball Classic, be sure to watch a Japanese, Korean, Dominican Republic, etc. game and note the passion they play with. I guarantee it is more entertaining than MLB. MLB needs to stop tampering with the game and just let the players play.
The commentator at the end isn't totally wrong. When you're used to throwing 80mph knuckle balls, 95-100+ mph fast balls, and 80ish mph curveballs, it's freaky just lobbing a ball 3 feet off target.
Bruh... avg fastball is 93 for 2016. Total average velocity on all pitches thrown in a year is gonna be mid 80s. People throw curves and change ups and sliders and cutters all in the 70-89 range even when they have 95mph fastballs. You dont know shit and just wanted to correct someone for no reason. You understood his point just fine without precise trivial information.
Dave Benny All I can think about is Jon Lester couldn't hold my 96 year old mother at 1st. Or Jason Heyward has the worst swing in baseball. But the Cubbies won so that's all that matters.
This is why the automatic intentional walk shoudlnt be a thing. These things can change the entire game, why would you wanna take that away just to speed up the game by maybe a total one 2 minutes total? *tisk* *tisk*
Ethan Jonas This is exactly why it should be a thing. If a pitcher can't throw a lob to the catcher, that's not the other teams problem. It can change the outcome of the game. Bc you don't know what can happen is why it should be a thing.
they do this against good batters or to get a double it’s not to speed up the game it’s to help the team into a situation with a not so good batter or a double play situation idiot
@@physicalgrafitti4684 Reading comprehension is important, Hen. Ethan wasn't talking about the reasons a team intentionally walks the opposition. He was clearly referring to MLB's rule change where pitchers no longer throw pitches during an intentional walk.
Never again. They should never has changed the rule. We are talking about 3 extra minutes a game for 99% of intentional walks, and the other 1% were exciting errors or batters hitting the lobbed pitch. Sometimes that exciting 1% was game changing.
If you disagree with instant replay in baseball, then you have to disagree with instant replay in every sport. Which means football can't have penalty challenges because it would just be his word vs the other guy's. It's too ingrained into the game at this point. Also, why do you disagree with it?
LuckyYoshi7 if you look at the pitch tracker they threw 4 outside in the same spot just because it isn't a pitch out doesn't mean it's not an intentional walk, they were probably hoping he'd get greedy and try to step into one and hit into an out
These are why intentional walks should have to pitched. A bad intentional ball could be hit, a wild pitch, or the batter can be duked into striking out. Awarding a base automatically does little to accerate the pace of the game. Having to pitch the 4 balls also adds to the shame of refusing to pitch to a guy.
I remember one time Jack Clark hit a home run while the pitcher was trying to intentionally walk him. The 4th pitch went right over the plate and he belted it.
As the announcer said, this is why they should never have implemented the automatic IBB rule. If you are talented enough to earn millions of dollars to throw a baseball accurately, you better be able to do it 4 times in a row without fucking up and costing your team runs.
I've looked and looked. Somewhere, years ago, I'm pretty sure Steve Sax got a double off of a pitch out when he was playing for the Yankees. That was the first time I'd seen that happen.
@Jonathan Stiles I mean that is no longer an impossibility, yet it also isn't a possibility lol. It's somewhere in between, on that grey scale of "yes, this /could/ happen... and god /could/ be real... and I /could/ be god".... but the probability is close enough to zero for all of the above that we can basically consider it to be zero until some new evidence/information/technique is brought forth that makes it more likely.
@Jonathan Stiles I guess that's a good word to describe it; I feel "not plausible" still gives the connotation that it could feasibly happen, but would be surprising. Like I wouldn't consider god to be "implausible", i would consider the notion to be practically impossible without actually being 100% impossible. I guess it's all a matter of connotation even if definitionally you are correct.
I did the same thing in Strat-O-Matic as the Barry Bonds vs. RHP IBB, two out with bases loaded, around the same year, only with Albert Pujols. Gave up the run gladly, and the next batter made the third out. In both cases, a manager would be insane *not* to. My opposing SOM manager was livid.
I swear if MLB gets rid of this rule and just lets the batter go to first I will be pissed. Sure, most of the time this play goes off with a hitch, but as seen in this video and other similar videos, this can cost teams at key moments in the game when the pitcher fucks up.
At the time, Barry Bonds was an extremely difficult out. He wasn't just a home run threat, he was also very disciplined at the plate (he only struck out 87 times the prior year). With the tying run at second, the Diamondbacks did not want Bonds to put the ball in play. An IBB with the bases loaded had last happened in the 1940s.
I can never understand how pitchers who train to be as accurate as possible, hitting their spots while throwing as hard as they can, miss when they need to throw it in a case where there is a much larger room for error
Walking Bonds with the bases loaded was not crazy. It is a savvy piece of managing by Buck Showalter. What the video here didn't show is that next batter lined out to end the game and the Diamondbacks hung on to win 8-7.
Intentional walk is always a double-edged sword. 2016 World Series, Game 7, top 10th, one out. Two intentional walks led to the go ahead and eventual championship-winning runs.
It's kinda sad that we'll never see crazy stuff like this again. And it's not for some player safety reason that we as fans could, if grudgingly, accept, like the universal DH or 7-inning doubleheaders. Rob Manfred is killing MLB.
Back in the day when I used to pitch I can say intentionally walking someone was harder than it looks. Very unnatural purposely throwing the ball way outside.
I wish that I could do this (in a BIG manner of speaking). I looked up "baseball foul ball base runs" and came up empty-handed. Watch out for people who'll do that kind of thing in real life! Working sideways to get where they're headed, because that's all that they can do.
I love Miggy but why is it such a smart play to hit a single on an intentional walk? Seems like in both scenarios you get to first base, but in one you risk taking a strike? Is it because you stand the chance to get a double or more?
Because the single scored the run on that play, whereas the walk would'nt've scored the run. Plus, it looks better in the stat column as a hit than a walk
MLB player's goals One dude: I want to have a 400 batting average Other guy: I want to hit 60 homeruns in one season Me: I want to be intentional walked when the bases are loaded 😏
Things like this kind of put me off from baseball.... things like hiding the ball when you're on base to get out a player when he steps of base, intentionally getting hit by a ball to force a walk (which has happened), intentionally hitting a batter...
Dude how hard is it to throw 4 straight balls. I do it all the time lol.
Bernie Consalvo You're not getting paid millions of dollars to do it. 😃
Well, yeah you are in this case......
Bernie Consalvo .
kylerott qqq
Lol
This is exactly why they should never get rid making the pitcher throw the 4 balls,fun stuff like this!!
Royce Krueger don't share your shit
rip, they got rid of it.
you've just defined TMI
I’m currently watching this while I take a dump. It’s a real oatmeal-like dump too... Very runny.
@M There is only 197 countries
Only Bonds could get intentionally walked with the bases loaded.
ls033189 I think josh Hamilton did that one year he was fucking raking but yeah, Bonds is the only one that it should of ever happened to
Sam Watts well that's what happens when u take peds
ls033189
In the history of MLB, six players have been issued intentional walks with the bases loaded.
LIL_BUFFNESS that was before he started juicing
And this is why the intentional walk should not be shortened to one pitch
jeury can you fucking read?
lol clown
And now it is one pitch

I don't think it's one pitch, I think it's zero pitches. They just signal "walk" and the guy goes to first base.
New title: The rays are terrible at throwing the ball
Yes not this year rays going to win
Coolfool Jr ur funny 😂
@@coolfooljr3332 This comment did not age well
Reynaldo Morales lol
MANCHESTER UNITED F.C whatever

Am I the only person who thought the guy at 3:00 had no eyes for a second lol
Yes
Edgar Salinas lol just noticed
Haha
Edgar Salinas I think so
Edgar Salinas 👁 👁 I see your point
I always laugh at professionals who can throw 80mph strikes but mess up playing catch in the back yard when they try to walk someone.
BlazeChronicGreen420 80 mph? Bruh average pitch is like 95.
Bruh... avg fastball is 93 for 2016. Total average velocity on all pitches thrown in a year is gonna be mid 80s.

Dudeman9339 Stfu. Every time I read the speed after the pitch it is always in the 90s.
Old McDonald Trump had a wall, no illegal-os. when did I say I was. nice try.
Poe Javelski wrong. Those are fastballs.
Lol Miggy was always swinging at the intentional walk pitches
How can they throw 95mph with pin point accuracy but can't throw 70 mph at the guys chest for shit
Rick Harrison Because it fucks up their routine so they aren't used to it.
time wakefield's knuckle ball could
Rick Harrison ur not gonna throw fucking accurate 65 mph ball when ur constantly throw 92mph plus m8
Not their normal pitching motion which leads to an easy fuck up
There not even pitching or doing a motion there just throwing the ball like they do in warm ups
0:07"swung at that bitch!!!"😂😂😂
Markenary Productions pitch
I know it was a joke
All I can think about are the World Series Cubs.
Dave Benny ikr

Pi Day Rocks omg I’m sorry for sounding like a jerk but thanks for the clarification.
This proves the whole point about restoring the traditional pass, every time I see a pitch getting away. Anything CAN happen !
Intentional walk with the bases loaded is hilarious. That's how terrifying bonds was lol
R.I.P. The True Intentional Walk
Garry Sanchez almost hit a homerun but instead a 1 RBI sac fly
Never again. They should never has changed the rule. We are talking about 3 extra minutes a game for 99% of intentional walks, and the other 1% were exciting errors or batters hitting the lobbed pitch. Sometimes that exciting 1% was game changing.
I watched the Gary Sanchez one live. I looked away and I looked back and thought it was gone. Didn't even know it was on an intentional walk lol.
Same. I saw Sanchez come up to bat and I went to the bathroom. When I came back, I saw the ball flying. Just a few more feet..
Ayy ItsGerardo I was at the game and i didn't believe what happened at first
Big papi's got style
what a boss
At first I was in favor of the new intentional walk rule but these clips made me change my mind
Dude I fuckin' love this channel
This is why they never should have made intentional walks automatic.
The automatic base on balls takes some of the fun and excitement out of the game!!
this proves why the instant walk rule is stupid
if you're in favor of it you are not a true baseball fan
***** Im sorry sir but i strongly disagree with you on instant replay
Jeff Frazier would you rather see a DH or a pitcher
+TheGodfatherllmpkp
pitcher 100%

LOL! I like how you added the David Ortiz one even though it wasn't really an intentional walk. Unless it was and I just didn't noticed
Like the announcer said, they don't want to pitch to him and risk possibly allowing a home run.

I love the intentional walk
Now this year you just put up 4 fingers and point to the base. That's so dumb
2:04 It’s almost same with my last game in my junior high school!!!!!
R.I.P. intentional walk hilarity.
I remember one time Jack Clark hit a home run while the pitcher was trying to intentionally walk him. The 4th pitch went right over the plate and he belted it.
No more INT walks
Extra inn rule runner 2nd base
Slides No more to break a double play
No collision at the plate
and 7inn double headers
Dang !
1:54 that's a strike isn't it? Ump didn't call it though.
I was thinking the same thing, it was basically a Tim Wakefield knuckleball.
It's high.
Martin Gardner to low
No idea how a pitcher throws a wild pitch on a pitchout. Insane!
As the announcer said, this is why they should never have implemented the automatic IBB rule. If you are talented enough to earn millions of dollars to throw a baseball accurately, you better be able to do it 4 times in a row without fucking up and costing your team runs.
miggy and bonds ones are iconic
are you from Michigan? because I saw a lot from Detroit

The one with the twins throw it to the net and uptown scores I cried for 5 mins so funny
Walking bonds even though the bases were loaded was actually kind of genius in that situation.
Royal Joker I remember watching that. It blew my mind, but I remember it worked out for them. The no pitch intentional walk rule is BS.
That second guy looked like he was gonna cry 🥺 If you look closely his eyes are sparkling
Thought I was the only one who realized stuff like that
I just wanna say Barry doesn’t deserve that I mean come on people give him a chance🤦🏽♀️
I did the same thing in Strat-O-Matic as the Barry Bonds vs. RHP IBB, two out with bases loaded, around the same year, only with Albert Pujols. Gave up the run gladly, and the next batter made the third out. In both cases, a manager would be insane *not* to. My opposing SOM manager was livid.
Did anybody else catch the typo around 0:15? Mark McGwife.
Papi is a savage. 😂
Kinda miss manual intentional walks. Their removal doesn’t really the speed up the game that much and with the pitch clock they’d be totally fine now.
Miggy being Miggy
I could easily walk someone. I do it all the time!
That twins tigers game.....all 5 people were shocked
I swear if MLB gets rid of this rule and just lets the batter go to first I will be pissed. Sure, most of the time this play goes off with a hitch, but as seen in this video and other similar videos, this can cost teams at key moments in the game when the pitcher fucks up.
@Huzayfa Jasat I can confirm I am pissed now....😡
lol I had no idea this play has been screwed up this many times. I remembered the Miguel Cabrera one
@0:16 Who da fuck is Mark McGWIFE????
they walked barry bonds to force in a run in a tie game?!?
no, that made it 8-7 Arizona and it worked. AZ won.
SniffyPoo It is Barry Bonds, steroids or not, could be argued the best power hitter of all time.
Thanks 007, saved me from looking it up. This shows how well managerial tactics can work.

Was this in 2004 when he was in super beast mode?
and they want to get rid of having to pitch the 4 balls.
Ya, my Tigers have quite a bit of luck in these. Like 4 clips in this vid
not Sauer Ye
Not luck. They used to be really good! Until recent...
I once saw a submarine pitcher intentionally walk a man. Funniest thing I've seen in baseball.
I wouldn't want to be that catcher.
its a shame they got rid of the intentional walks
Watching this pisses me off that now intentional walk are just given
"He almost throws it over his head and he does!"
Today I learned that the Rays absolutely suck at throwing intentional walks
Why are there none of these from 2017 and later
Best sport of the world
Now they can't hit jacks on intentional walks because on the new stupid rule
I don’t see what’s so crazy about most of these. That’s 3 minutes I’ll never get back.
i miss that part of the game
This is why I hate the new rule
i stopped watching baseball yrs ago - i’m guessing they don’t need to pitch anymore?? the game is trash now
@@AztecMC1 yeah they just say intention walk and they go to first
Barry bonds is a legend, intentional walk with the bases loaded
How many people were at that Twins game at 0:34? Twenty?
I can never understand how pitchers who train to be as accurate as possible, hitting their spots while throwing as hard as they can, miss when they need to throw it in a case where there is a much larger room for error
the first one is miguel cabrera driving in Hanley Ramirez... what a flashback
Walking Bonds with the bases loaded was not crazy. It is a savvy piece of managing by Buck Showalter. What the video here didn't show is that next batter lined out to end the game and the Diamondbacks hung on to win 8-7.
It’s still crazy, but it’s “Crazy like a fox”. Showalter trusted his pitcher to get the next guy out & his gamesmanship proved to be effective.
Is it me or does Miguel Cabrera just HAPPEN to be in multiple of these SUPER rare situations
Too bad we won't see these anymore
Why would they get rid of this. Just adds another layer of complexity to the battle between the pitcher and hitters.
Such a shame that these won't be happening next season. It's like a reverse of the NFL's recent extra point rule change.
Intentional walk is always a double-edged sword. 2016 World Series, Game 7, top 10th, one out. Two intentional walks led to the go ahead and eventual championship-winning runs.
This is like watching Shaq throw a freethrow
How do you not have Johnny Bench striking out on a pitch out on this?
What happened to the Bonds game after he was walked? Who won?
Are some of these balls hard to throw because they need to make sure the batter can't hit it anyway?
It's kinda sad that we'll never see crazy stuff like this again. And it's not for some player safety reason that we as fans could, if grudgingly, accept, like the universal DH or 7-inning doubleheaders. Rob Manfred is killing MLB.
He said he’s “saving time” with all of this stuff he’s doing
I think he should have to be the guy on 2nd base for every extra inning game.
He’s only doing this for himself too
Is it me or was a majority of that video Detroit ?
yeah but the 2 for Detroit were recent unlike the other clips
DaBossGaming there were three.
Jed-eye Kman I don't mind that at all xD Love detriot!
Tina Pitcher too bad you can’t spell it
Back in the day when I used to pitch I can say intentionally walking someone was harder than it looks. Very unnatural purposely throwing the ball way outside.
At 2:41 Big Papi Knows that it's gonna be a ball before the pitcher throws it
At 2:50, I'm guessing Ortiz watches Domingo Ayala
what is the sense behind this intentional walks?
I wish that I could do this (in a BIG manner of speaking).
I looked up "baseball foul ball base runs" and came up empty-handed. Watch out for people who'll do that kind of thing in real life! Working sideways to get where they're headed, because that's all that they can do.

how do u put ads on these vids ru making money
RIP 4 pitch IBB
How do we make these type of vids
"he almost throws it over his head and he does"
The funny part is all they have to do is throw a normal pitch away to walk the player. But they can’t even do that 😂
This is the reason why intentional walks should not be done automatically.
Why is there like 10 people at the twins game?
Things like this kind of put me off from baseball.... things like hiding the ball when you're on base to get out a player when he steps of base, intentionally getting hit by a ball to force a walk (which has happened), intentionally hitting a batter...
Wait I don't know baseball but why not just balk intentionally. Like is there any disadvantage?
