honestly he only gave up one run, that's better than most of twins bullpen
Why else would we consistently put out a position player on the mound 🤪
Literally. La Tortuga's Era is now 4.50. The only other person in our bullpen that has a 4.50 is Duffey, the rest are much higher. He's still one of our best reliever at this point. Alcala and Robles have lower but it doesn't feel like it.

And honestly, to take an ephus and deposit it 450’ to LC is kind of impressive. You have to take an ALMIGHTY hack to pull that shit off and Mercedes did. Torta should’ve taken the anchorman route and been not even mad, but impressed.

@@darkone12491 all except taylor rogers, he's the only one I trust. Colome needs to go
He took off his hat on the pop up because he’s a catcher and that’s what you do when there’s a pop up to you as a catcher. Tough to break those years of training.
Havent played baseball for the better part of a decade nor am I an avid viewer but I had vague memories of my friend who played catcher, dump his cap and faceplate when he was in play. If he played any other spot, he would still pop his hat off. Now I know why
have you tried being fat and looking at a pop up with a hat on? its hard. gotta lose it. i tell you from experience.
@@barrydingle481 that or maybe because he played catcher and it's a habit of taking off your hat
When playing catch in the yard with our kids, my wife threw one in the dirt at my feet. Without thinking, I dropped down to ready position, snagged the ball off the first hop, and was firing it back at her (hard) before I realized what the hell I was doing.
I wasn’t even thinking about it. I was 14 again, playing 3rd and trying to beat a runner.
She did catch it though...right in the palm. Never seen a puzzled scowl *quite* like that before.
@@DemoDick1 "puzzled scowl" now there's an image.
Him taking off his hat to field the pop up at first base was just his catcher muscle memory kicking in.
Exactly what I was thinking
When he’s playing in the field, pulls off hat on nearly all pop ups.
How dare he hurt a position player's ERA like that
He had a long career ahead of him
I'm a Twins fan and I love that homerun. From a young age I was taught to play hard until the game is over. If you can hit a home run, do it. If the other team can't stop you, not your problem. Run up the score, don't stop playing just because the other team sucks
Fuck yeah. And from a pitchers standpoint I say after one 3-0 homer in a game that’s clearly over is one fastball to someone’s face
@@anthony66615 psychopath behavior
Never take your foot off the gas. Doesn't matter what the score is.

Props to the Twins fans for supporting their guy in the 9th of a blowout.
Hopefully people stop wasting their money to go to the games. Team is an absolute joke and the more time goes on, the more 2019 was a fluke year and an exception to the rule.
@@misst9 Two things, I think a majority of people at this very game were White Sox fans. Anytime the Sox did something good the cheering was loud enough to hear. Also, the twins ticket selling is promoting "Seeing your favorite teams by buying tickets for that game", even the ticket ads aren't even assuming you're buying tickets just to see the Twins.
@@misst9 yeah no ill happily go to games. Who TF just cheers for a team when you're #1??? Get out of here
@@misst9 We dont want fake fans like you at the games anyway. One bad month and you are trying to boycott the team. You're an embarrassment. Hopefully you are 11 years old.
That was the alcohol speaking
Twins needs to hire someone to teach El Tortuga the knuckleball. If you're going to throw 50 mph for entertainment value, you might as well throw the catcher under the bus while you're at it.
Even Tim Wakefield's knuckler was in the 60s
I think there is an unwritten rule about non knuckle ball pitchers throwing knuckle balls. Everyone who has played ball at hs level and up has a knuckleball but they wont throw it.
@@afpdl unwritten rules are the gayest things ever. Like how bitch made do you have to be to make extra rules just so people don’t cry

@@alejo5267 You have all the subtlety of a drunken fist the face of baseball. You are my friend are not a longtime fan, right?
Of course
This whole “unwritten rule” is absolutely asinine... This is like saying the batter “owes” the other team a better chance of getting him out... This is the majors, if you don’t like it, play better and don’t put a position player in there. Don’t cry when the batter doesn’t help you get him out.
As a baseball player, the unwritten rules add a lot to them game for the athlete. Never cared much for what the fans thought of it
@@jonahmosher3024 With the average salary of someone who plays baseball for a living, shouldn't that be more than enough to make up for unwritten rules?
Clearly you've never played past little league.
I think Buster Olney had the best comment for anyone defending the unwritten rule. They're perfectly okay with the Twins just giving up and throwing out a position player on the mound even though they have pitchers available. That's not a mockery of the game. That's in the spirit of competition and all that. But it's not okay to actually hit a home run? The batter's actual job? It's ridiculous to me.
@@jonahmosher3024 No fans, no reason to have players. Fans want you to play your best for the entire game, not give up and go through the motions at the end. The fans paid to see a complete performance, too bad if you don't like it.
I didn't think people would mention that dumb unwritten rule after everyone stood up for Tatis Jr.
I think it is dumb and Tatis was absolutely justified, can’t help but feel bad for the guy in this video though, he just wants to get through the inning
@@gingerdrinkr So? It doesn't matter if he gives up a run and the Yerminator benefits from it. It's the "pitcher's" fault that he cares so much about giving up a home run.
@@gingerdrinkr I feel worse for Twins fans for actually liking the twins more than I feel bad for El Tortuga getting absolutely fucking sent to orbit
No one's really said this but I like the idea that Astudillo seems to be prideful about the outcome of his outing while throwing the ball 2.7 miles an hour. He should've just laughed like Rizzo and Freeman.
@Aristotle was Not a fan of Plato unwritten rules are for the players. fans can hate the rules but it doesn't matter what we think about them, these rules are ultimately for on-field etiquette between players, and that's pretty much their business.
fans used to bitch about the rules back in the day too but there is a sense of entitlement with today's bitching, like fans are almost demanding that things be changed for them.
If you are throwing pitches, you risk giving up hits. It's so weird how that's frowned upon. That's literally the point of going to bat.
I feel like in a game that revolves so much around stats and the judgement of players accordingly, you have to take every opportunity you get to show your worth. Especially the players the players balancing on the mlb/minors line.
People acting like 11 runs in an inning is impossible
Seems like these days everybody’s looking for a reason to be offended.
@@jasonpapciak904 Except that’s been an unwritten rule in baseball forever. People now think it’s stupid which is why the few people that still get upset about it get brought to light.
A lot of people dont know about it, but one of the biggest unwritten rules in modern baseball is "You're not allowed to have fun..."
Side note, A well written rule of baseball is that Angel Hernandez sucks n will always suck.
You're a clown lol
I would say don't tell me you want shit being taken seriously and respectfully if you've got Lard McGee out there tossing 42 mph potatoes to save a pitcher spot. That's pretty hypocritical.
@@БранимирМилошевић well said
Idk to me it didn’t really look like any one was having to much fun with that home run
The catcher trying to frame the first pitch waaaay outside lollipop was the funniest part of this whole breakdown. Damn that got me 🤣
I’m a Twins fan, and I have to say, “it is absolutely friggin’ ridiculous that he got shit for this.” Let him have his free home run, it ain’t gonna hurt the Twins any more than the Twins hurt the Twins.

Yeah fuck the Twins! Seriously what you want me to set my bat down, hey want me to pitch for you. What a joke and la russa is a joke for what he said.
i mean he was laughing and joking last time he pitched because he was getting guys out. now he's upset because someone took him deep.
If he was upset, he would have thrown at the next batter. He does have an 85 mph fastball. Even Jomboy couldn't show footage of Astudillo doing any chirping...because he wasn't.
No man, he was mad because the batter swung at a 0-3 pitch with an advantage of 11 runs, 2 outs in the 9inn.
Which i totally disagree with that unwritten rule. The game is over until is over. But hey his own manager is mad because he swung at it. The same history with Tatis their managers didnt protect them.

For some reason when I first saw this it made me feel yucky with the whole 3-0 thing, but then I was like “what are you? 70?” I’ve done some soul searching and figured out I’m OK with it now.
Good for you. Seriously. I was taught a lot of these unwritten rules are infallible and then when I got old enough to think about them in context I figured out that they were dumb too.
Don't want a guy to swing 3-0? Don't get to 3-0 in the first place.
Two options, a) don’t get your shit kicked in, or b) bring in the good ole’ little league mercy rule! You got a guy pitching 45 mph, might as well ask for the mercy rule, cus ya playin little league
What's the point of 3-0 if there are rules against swinging at the next pitch? It's insanity and I will not have it.
Congrats
@@TonsOfFunk if I’m not mistaken it’s don’t swing at 3-0 when you’re blowing that team out already. The game is already over and it appears tacky when you just keep beating a dead horse.
-T argument for the unwritten rule
Institute a mercy rule or don't be tossing up beach balls around the Yerminator 😂😂
Fck mercy rules this isnt tee ball. But also fck people complaining cuz the score gets ran up
I really don't care
@@6MikeJones9 When a team puts in a positional player to pitch, they have conceded defeat. There isn't much debate here - the coach has decided he will rather preserve his bullpen and just take the L. It's honestly just a drawn out version of the mercy rule in a sport that's still needing to shorten game times in order to stop losing viewers. Hard disagree with you Mike.
@@ReediculousB nothing keeps viewers around like ending a game early because the score was a little too far apart for the professional athletes to bother continue trying
@@6MikeJones9 yeah but the numbers don't back up fans love for watching players not try, as you concede above, which is why the mercy rule has been a very real proposal for several years now, as they still try to solve this existing problem, that again, you conceded exists. Your opinion is not backed by how many fans leave games by the 7th inning stretch.
He probably figured he’d never see a pitch like that ever again and said f*** it , YOLO !
I cant believe the commentator really said, "i dont like it, youre going to see the same pitch right after that one" Oh itd be fine tho if he crushes a 3-1 homer, makes no sense and then his coach apoligized to the twins LOL

@Beth Greene at the end of the season is there gonna be an asterisk by that homerun? No? Interesting

@@John-wb1ny So if a pitcher leaves a curveball over the middle of the plate they just won’t count that one either come contract time because he didn’t hit a proper pitch. Bro just stop it.
Yermin hit that 2.3x harder than the velocity that the pitch came in at. 2nd time that’s happened since they started to track exit velocity
wtf lol
“A lot of mass of the field.” Has me dead
You missed the other big story on this: Larussa was NOT happy with his player swinging away at that pitch.
I don't understand how Larussa thinks it's unacceptable for him do not follow the unwritten rules of baseball and hit a home run. Which is the dumbest thing ever and they need to stop that bullshit " unwritten rule " fans show up and pay to watch their team show up but yet it's okay for Larussa to drive drunk and get a DUI 🤷

we will one day soon have to explain the novelty that used to be position players pitching. seems like it happens at least once a week nowadays
It's not a novelty because it happens more often. The reason being that 20-30 years ago it would be pretty infrequently, but that's because your starting pitchers actually PITCHED MORE INNINGS. In the MLB of today the starting pitchers don't go as deep so that means your bullpen is needed more often. That leads to coaches wanting 'rest' the bullpen in a blow-out.

"You don't want us to score, then stop us."
Exactly. These are two professional baseball teams. It's different if one team is completely outside of the competitive scope of the other (e.g. Division 1 baseball team vs. NAIA team). Don't want to lose 23549258253 to 4? Step up and be professional and don't get your brains beat out.
Jomboy is gonna have another White Sox breakdown tomorrow for when the Twins purposefully hit Mercedes on a pitch
Team is far too depressed to even consider retaliation at this point, so I highly doubt it.
And Rocco Baldelli is not a guy to order pitcher to hit someone intentionally, I guess.
Go ahead, I’ll take a free base, he’ll bring in a run
They should bring back in this fat catcher guy to do it. He can bean a guy with whatever you call that 47 MPH thing he's throwing.
And Garrett Crochet only threw 23 pitches last night and hadn't thrown since Thursday before that, so I'm sure he's available tonight. Kopech also hasn't thrown since his start Friday, so he's probably available. Both capable of triple digits if the Twins try something.
“Says thank you to the sky” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You could do an entire breakdown just on La Russa's response to this. As a Cardinals fan, I'm embarrassed by how our former manager responded. Not only is he saying that Mercedes shouldn't have done it, and not only did he basically say he will be punished for scoring runs, but he apologized on Mercedes behalf and said he won't do it again (even though Mercedes didn't regret doing it at all). And even worse, today when the Twins threw AT Mercedes, he said "I didn't have a problem with how the Twins handled that," siding with the team that just threw a baseball at his player, instead of his player who hit a home run. Doesn't make any sense.
La Russa looked sooooo stupid throughout this. Just showed his team he doesn’t have their back and he will throw them under the bus if it suits him.
He is old and washed up. Shouldn't be apart of this young talented team
Mercedes missed the take sign on purpose! Any manager in the league would be pissed. No one person is bigger than the team. How about listen to the multiple world champ hall of fame manager.
LaRussa's comments are going to be construed as "institutional racism" and "white privilege" by somebody.
@@XP3RTL3G3ND The multiple world champ Hall of Fame manager ought to know that publicly calling out his players shows a lack of class and professionalism. LaRussa is another manager in pro sports who got recycled into a job in a new city primarily because of long-ago success. He's not even aware of some of the rule changes in MLB, but has a job overseeing a pro team.
Honestly, you want to talk "disrespecting the game," I think having a guy out there throwing 47 mph lollipops is a lot worse than swinging 3-0. If a team is willing to have a pitcher on the mound throwing like this, they don't get to complain when someone homers off him.
His not a pitcher thats the funny he a catcher
When you'e up 15-4 facing a position player pitching, you swing at everything close to get the game over as fast as possible.
Yeah a small contact swing. Not a full on power swing like you’re trying to hit a walkoff grand slam

Personally I think that’s one of the dumbest “unwritten rules” most unwritten rules either help the pitcher or serve some purpose relevant to not hurting the pitchers feelings. If you don’t want someone to hit the ball then don’t throw it

People are seriously getting mad at a guy who’s finally in the show after almost a decade swinging away and going yard on a 3-0 count on a position player who’s throwing 45 mph lollipops?
People get mad at the stupidest things.
As a Twins fan I don't care at all, and in fact I encourage not following the stupid ass "unwritten rules." I'm really not sure who is causing the outrage other than the homer announcers.
These are the same people who say it's rude to pimp a home run, but it's perfectly fine for the pitcher to pimp a strikeout. It's all about protecting the fragile ego of the pitcher and the children who are playing in the major leagues.

Thank you Jomboy for reiterating on baseball being fun. The sport is far too entrenched in tradition and unwritten rules that it's killing all joy and interest from their fans and players.
Not to mention, the Twins throw a position player in and it is preserving their bullpen for the next two games, both against the same team, the White Sox.
As a life long Twins fan, this gave me something to watch and find entertaining.
I don't even care about baseball, but somehow Jomboy makes it interesting.

Here’s a solution for pitchers:
Don’t get the count to 3-0, and if you do, don’t throw it where the guy can hit a homer 🤷♂️
Oh and don’t lose 16-4
If you dont want him to swing at a 3-0 pitch then throw a ball and walk him
"a lot mass on the field" i died when I heard that
I’m a die hard twins fan and I don’t blame Mercedes I would have done the same thing. Keep hitting homers it makes the game more fun.
We are giving up, but we are mad that you aren't giving up too. The logic showed that day.
I’m a Twins until I die, which will probably be sooner rather than later if the Twins keep playing like this. My heart just can’t handle it.
At least you have the Vikings.
San Diego is where sports go to die.
If you think that is bad. I am a Phillies fan. 10 years without October baseball.

Astudillo has a better ERA than most of the Twins pitchers at this point in the season... In case anyone was wondering how things are going with the Twins this year.
Yeah it would be that way since he has pitched way less innings than his actual pitchers but they still suck though
@@dominicwilliams2660 no, it for sure shouldn't be that way his era is 4.5 now, but that is not even that great. you should 100% have a closer under that number and multiple relievers too
@@bigwinsports1406 right forgot about closers
Don’t you know you’re supposed to stop trying once you get to a certain point in the game with a certain lead? You gotta make it a little easier for us to come back.
The Twins announcer would have been "you are taking a walk up 15-4 against a pos player pitching?" No matter what he did he would have been wrong. At least he didn't stare it down or celebrate, he hit it, trotted, touched the plate and praised, he did nothing wrong.
dude should've moonwalked around the entire base path and started break dancing doing the worm onto home plate. you play to win and have fun. you don't just quit because you want to protect someones feelings.
Morneau has been complaining non-stop this season because shit's depressing. I think our announcing team needs to sit him out for a bit, bring in Latroy Hawkings again or something. Someone that isn't so emotionally invested.
Now we need the breakdown for the ensuing throw behind Yermin !
As a newcomer to baseball (thank to The Show being on Xbox now) I am really hooked to it now. What is the deal with 3-0 swings?
That first pitch where the catcher tries to pull it back into the strike zone 😆
Dude, never apologize for hitting a home run...
Tortuga is the only thing that makes the Twins worth watching this season. He’s a legend and we all love him up here
jomboy is what baseball needs
This is the most baseball I've watched all season.
Jomboy is, single handedly, doing a better job at marketing for the MLB than the actual MLB marketing department.
Love watching Astudillo pitch, the dude always looks so calm like he knows he's in control.
There goes the ERA ⬆️ 😕. At least he wasn’t forced to apologize
La Russa apologized to the twins today in a press conference. lol
I don't blame him. LaRussa is one of the most respected managers in MLB, and he has NEVER managed that way. That was all Yermin.
La Russa should learn to respect the written rules against drunk driving before he comments about anything else.
“lotta mASSSSS” lmfaoooo
I think that everyone would agree that hitting a homer is better than taking a strike. Leave the unwritten rules and just be happy for the guy that just hit a home run
When he walked out the first thing my buddy said was "this'll be on jomboy tomorrow"
Wait, you're supposed to give me that free strike now that I accidentally gave you three balls and then we can start playing normal again after that.
Ah, just like my cowboys
“Wait, we took the lead, let’s play prevent defense”
Ya some of the "unwritten rules" in baseball make no sense to me just from a competition standpoint.
That batter isn't on your team, why is he trying to help you? Its literally his job to hit the ball, and you got a guy throwing slower than a little league pitcher out there.
I think this one rubs me the wrong way more than others though specifically because the pitcher is throwing meatballs. The guys a professional baseball player, AND a catcher. You know he has a decent arm but hes out there throwing 45.
I remember being at a mets/braves game way back when in a blow out. John Franco blew out his thumb and Matt came to pitch. Jones launched a 3R HR off him, and it was just business as usual since it was a rival. 15-2 game or something like it. So, either grow use it to step up against the rival the next game or peg him first pitch.
Secondly, its a game of stats. You want the winning team to just fold and your relievers at the back end would get similarly padded stats for quick outs and Ks.
You get that juicy pitch ... You Elevate to Celebrate every time ...
You get paid off your stats. “Swing young man swing”
Except now everyone knows he doesn’t follow the signs he gets from the manager.
So these players are supposed to take hits to their batting avg because your team decided to give up and put in a position player? No way
Fun fact: Yermin Mercedes ate a yerminator burger and made him strong
I wish we got a breakdown for that
He ate two
The way Jomboy says "Unwritten rules" at 1:43 perfectly encapsulates my feelings towards all of baseball culture right now.
That’s a fact
I still dont get why every 1v1 brawl turns into a team v team shitshow, theyre grown men
“Does he take it?”
“No, fuckin smokes it into dead center” 😂😂
