👶👶👶👶👶 Bunch of cry babies!!! The game was not over! Guy hit a grand slam and can't celebrate with his teammates??? Not like he stole a base up 17-1. Ridiculous
There is a bit of an argument for backing off. You want the opposition to wallow in their own self pity. Do not give them a reason to focus on you. Let them keep seeing how crap they are. That way they are more likely to keep playing crap.
Here’s a rule that could be unwritten; If you’re down by seven, don’t walk three batters. Especially when you know the fourth batter is hot for hitting homers.
Joe Roth I mean he’s won 6 championships and had a dynasty that lasted arround 20 years and I’m still not sure it’s ended, I’m pretty sure he knows what he’s taliking about. Also learn better grammar please
Sounds like the unwritten rule should be “if your up by 6 after the 7th inning and the count is 3-0 with bases loaded, the other team needs a new pitcher”
Unwritten rules to protect a pitcher's feelings: - Don't steal when leading big - Don't swing at 1st pitch after b2b homeruns - Don't swing at 3-0 when leading big - Don't bunt to break up a no-hitter - Don't talk about a no-hitter in progress - Don't step on pitchers mound when entering / leaving the field - Throwing at a batter in retaliation is ok when a team breaks these rules Unwritten rules that help batters: - Nothing. Not one damn thing. So yeah, to hell with pitchers.
It’s because they hate wasting pitchers. They needs to open up the roster if every pitcher is blowing their arms 4 pitches in throwing 110. They’re pissed because they’re going to blow the game plan for the next 10 days because they can’t get any out. 🤷🏽♂️
7 runs is not even some insurmountable lead. It's silly grown men are upset at a professional for doing his job. He earned the 3-0 count. The pitcher shouldn't have fallen behind 3-0.
Here's a new rule, play to win at all times. This aint a children's game where you have to take it easy on the other team when you're giving a beat down. it's a man's professional sport, win by as many points as you can. Stupidest unofficial rule I've ever heard of
Well according to the unwritten rules of the NBA, you aren’t supposed to score on the last possession of the game if you’re team is up by a lot...Let’s not act like baseball players are the only babies here.
@@khamjaninja. I think if someone strikes a pitcher with clear intent then that batter should get an automatic home run rather than a walk to first. I think teams would start cracking down on baby pitchers if it started costing them a ton of runs because that pitcher just let two or three people get home because of their ego.
I half agree but half don't. I also don't like when pitchers are removed in the middle of innings. It's like, they should have to pitch whole inning and either get out of the jam or give up more runs until they do.
People are missing the point. The reason the rule exists is to increase odds of finishing the game. Baseball is very imbalance at the extremes. Because there is no clock, other team can just take a fan out of stands to pitch when a score differential gets high. They have no incentive to waste arm of a pro pitcher at this point.
was just about to say the same thing. That pitcher was throwin meatballs lmao they should be mad at him not the dude whos doing what hes supposed to be doing lmao
Historic comebacks in the MLB happen all the time. The Mariners trailed Toronto 8-1 after 5 innings in the playoffs but came back to win. And look at game 6, Mets-Boston in 1986. Play until the final out, never let up. Don't apologize because the other team is inept.
Dankmasters 445 same here the rangers can go f*ck themselves there literally complaining that tatis didn’t give them empathy if I was tatis on the press I would have said idc but he probably didn’t want the media on him so that’s why he didn’t say it
@@lildad559 - Were you literally just thinking? Thank you for clarifying, otherwise I would have thought that you were metaphorically just thinking. Whew. I appreciate it. You saved me a lot of confusion.
I play baseball and basketball, and it’s one thing to shoot a 3 pointer when you’re up 20 with 20 seconds left in the game, when there’s no shot of a comeback. But in baseball, you could theoretically be down 20-0 going into the bottom of the 9th and end up that. Which is why this is one of the stupidest unwritten rules in all of sports
There’s a reason baseball is the only sport they say “anything can happen in baseball” because their is no time limits in mlb. Happened to the dodgers in a World Series game they where up by a lot in the 9th when into so many extra innings and lost the game
@@sternxsaturn I mean what and Nancy boy.... And if he struck him out or he took that pitch and the other team came back and were about to take the lead do they just stop and say well he didn't hit one out of the park in the 8th so let's just hang up our bats and score no more runs for the win yeah right They would come back with vengeance and they should but to cry this unsung rule come on stop with the everybody got to get a trophy no you got to get your ass kicked get your ego hurt and practice just a little bit harder
I have said this before. “In any sport if you don’t want to get embarrassed then simply stop the other team from scoring” This is not poor sportsmanship, that guy is just doing his job.
Yeah, but if they were up by double digits then it would be a different story, but team have come back from bigger leads, but as a ranger I’m sure I would be pissed too but I don’t play for the rangers so yeah that’s my opinion
Amen! The biggest thing I hate is when a team jumps out to a big early lead and then just quit for the rest of the game wanting it to get over. Last week, I saw the Pirates jump out to a 7 run lead and then they didn’t even get three hits after that.
I was just thinking the same thing! Skunk Rule! In basketball, you’ll never see a time take the ball down court when they have a huge lead and 2 minutes left, take a shot clock violation or wait till the shot clock is at :01 and pass the ball to their opponents, football the same way offense isn’t gonna down the ball at the beginning of the 4th quarter with a 4 touchdown lead! Not sure if this is the chicken or the egg to the not keeping score in T-Ball kinda crap!
In high school we were told not to run the score up when we played a way worse team... but thats high school! This is pro! They should all be playing their hardest
i couldnt care if he stole third if they were up by 20. Funny in the states you get upset if your team gets beaten by a few runs or points. In Australia you want you team to score as many points as possible. This is a non story.
Smfh ok let's make it for pitchers too. If they're about to throw a no-hitter, there should be an unwritten rule that says they should throw meatballs starting in the 8th
Homerun 29 completely different, players only avoid crushing rookies that’s re small becaus they don’t really want to end a kids career, this guy just hit a baseball like they had been all game
100% SOO true. They need new fans, and this bullshit just makes me sad considering this kid is one of the MOST entertaining players to watch in the game right now and they yell at him for swinging "too hot" of a bat. Hey - Baseball old heads - LET THE GAME EVOLVE! and enjoy this guy while he's playing on this kind of level, please 🙏
Lol I made a similar comment. If MLB were smart, since they failed with marketing Trout, they need to market Tatis as the face of MLB. Young exciting talented player with latin background but raised in America speaks Spanish and English very well. He's the guy. He's everything they need. He should be the guy the whole country gets excited to look up what he did his last game. People did that with Bonds and they hated him! So now do it with the most likeable guy in the game!
@@LudaChez Trout failed himself too... I think he just wants to play baseball. That's fine too, but his fans blame MLB for his obscurity. He plays in frickin LA, he's from the East, but he can't draw casuals... I don't blame MLB.
This isn’t high school. These are paid professionals, who fans are paying to watch. It’s ridiculous to have unwritten rules like telling a guy to just not bat normally.
All I can think about in this situation is nobody would care if he swung at a 3-0 count and grounded out. So the only reason anybody is mad is because he is good, end of story
His coach would be pissed off if he grounded out because that was a take sign. His coach was unthrilled about a grand slam, imagine what would happen with a groundout.
@youtubesucks Are you saying Tatis will be intentionally walked from now on when the bases are loaded? (with the exception of a tied game in the bottom of the 9th) Or, are you saying they'll intentionally walk him in some other situation? Forgive me, but I'm really confused here. 😊
That unwritten rule is intended for kids getting their asses whooped in Little League so they can play a full game and not get 10 run ruled, where the game is called early. Not grown men being paid millions to give 110% regardless of the score. Pro teams come back from a big deficit late in the game all the time.
how grown men went on a podium and apologized for giving 100% effort in a game ill never understand. how baseball is the only sport that evolved into players never even standing up for themselves i dont get
Tatis does not have to wait for a strike, he has personal goals to reach, just like a pitcher does, all players should do their best till the end no matter the sport or score.
Exactly. Why should a pitcher be given a free pass to thrown it down the middle after he fell behind 3-0. These are paid professionals. He can swing 3-0 if he wants.
But for real, imagine if in the NHL there was an unwritten rule about having to bench your best player if you're up by 3 in the third, or if the NFL disallowed field goals in the 4th quarter for teams up by three or more TDs. Baseball already has comparatively limited action throughout the game, so why the **** would you limit it even more? What a joke lol
Honestly Tatis’ press conference should have gone “Yeah he threw me an easy pitch, so I hit it over the fence. Pitch better and we won’t have this conversation.”
thats exactly what happened too. guy was throwing shit pitches so he got punished. this is not only embarrassing for the ranger bull pen, but the org as a whole since they went on to try and hit manny now shits personal. 4 game sweep incoming as a big fu too would be nice(edit aye called the sweep and 4 slams let's go slam Diego)
Honestly it wasm't that easy a pitch but a great piece of hitting. Ball was a bit outside and he took it the other way. He tries to pull that and odds say he doesn't hit a granny. I hope he hits 4 homers today.
Another analogy would be the Lakers Coach telling Lebron to stop dunking on the other team because their feelings are upset. I don’t even watch baseball but this is so fucking dumb. If you don’t want the opponent to score, stop them. I don’t think you should care about the other teams feelings
@@jordanalmanzar9105 probably because basketball is timed while baseball is by innings...you cant "run the clock" in baseball to guarantee the win...i really dont understand this "unwritten rule" like its a sport its your job youre an adult...its like if your job had an unwritten rule that if you got employee of the month you get a pay cut like the fuck???
@@vanixiii5657 It’s not that I disagree with what Tatis did in fact I wasn’t even aware of this in baseball since I don’t really watch baseball. My point is that there are unwritten rules in basketball
Ok, on the unwritten rule thing, if the pitcher goes up 0-2, is he required to throw a garbage pitch to take it easy on the batter? That's the same thing, right? If a batter isn't supposed to swing when the pitcher can't find the zone for three pitches, shouldn't the pitcher take it easy on a batter who isn't seeing the ball well enough to hit it? I know this is 4+ years old, but it popped up today and I had to watch it again. Jomboy's breakdowns are great, and this one that highlights the inanity of the "unwritten rules" is one of his better ones. Cheers. Edited to add: Just watched all the comments following the press conference. Saw one from Johnny Bench. No one doubts his baseball credentials, right? "Everyone should hit 3-0. Grand slams are a huge stat." I'll take his word for this. Cheers.
My theory on it: if you don't want him hitting a grand slam, get him out. The unwritten rules are really just a player or manager's excuse for being a crybaby and a sore loser.
@AVERY HUEBEL At least with football there is a clock, and there is no way the team can come back. In baseball, you could score 8 runs in an inning and have an implosion from your bullpen. I'd rather win by 10 runs than leave it to a shaky bullpen.
@AVERY HUEBEL this is pro sports this isn't house league where kids are just out there for fun and skill development. If you're gonna suck in a competitive league, be better.
@AVERY HUEBEL just like football, if you don't want them to run up the score, stop them. It's selfish to expect the other side to take it easy on you because you are being competitive enough. Even then, beaning a guy because "he watched his home run leave the park" goes back to being a crybaby.
@AVERY HUEBEL This is a professional game, not a co-ed Sunday League. I'd agree with you on most sportsmanship rules, but not this one. The rangers should blame their lack of skill instead of the other team.
@AVERY HUEBEL If you're playing in the most elite league in the world in your sport, it's the losing team's job to keep the game from becoming a blowout. If you don't want to get embarrassed, play better or go back to the minors. Sportsmanship is playing hard no matter what. Going easy on your opponent should be seen as even more disrespectful
it's one thing to complain about running up the score in a league like the NBA where there is a set amount of time left and each team takes turns having possessions. Sure you probably don't need to dunk on a breakaway with 40 seconds left when you're up 120-65, I can see how people wouldn't like that or find it unsportsmanlike. But baseball has no limit to how many runs you can score in an inning, so a comeback is ALWAYS possible. If you don't want to be scored on when you're down 10-3 then forfeit the game. Otherwise shut up and play better.
@@pyrocrispycris2330 I'm new to baseball but this is just kind of weird unwritten rule. How is going easy on your opponents just because they are losing is respectful lmao. I mean for me it would be disrespectful if someone is looking down on team and going easy on purpose. Going full throttle and not underestimating your opponent can't be disrespecting. It's fucking weird rule.
And seeing a young exciting player having to say he's sorry.. And they wonder why young people dont give a shit about baseball or find it boring. ''Let the kids play'' right MLB?
As a Padres fan I cant respect him after that. Be upset if he missed a sign yeah, but talk to him in the dugout, not through the media. Then he adds "we're not trying to run up the score"... like what?? Should everyone bunt out? Has Tingler been asleep when our BP has been blowing leads all season? He was totally kissing ass for his former team. Tinglers a clown for how he handled this whole situation
@@soulawaken24 I seriously just went to google, and typed big baseball comebacks and this was up there "With the Tribe trailing, 12-2, it chipped away with three runs in the seventh, four in the eighth and five with two outs in the ninth." how can people defend this dumb "unwritten rule" is beyond me
@@josephsekrieh7462 Exactly. In most every other sport, not trying hard when having a lead is not seen as a sign of sportsmanship. It's almost always seen as an extreme form of disrespect to the opponent. That's why I'm surprised to hear about this "unwritten rule". It's crazy.
I agree 1000%. I hate when the same thing happens in the NBA. They get mad if they are getting blown out and you score. If you don't want the other team scoring, play defense🤷♂️
Gotta remember baseball is the sport where the unatheletic guys go to have fun. It's the only sport so boring that the players all eat or chew food/gum/chew all game. Theres as many coaches as there is players. It's also the only sport that equals soccer for the whining and crying. Baseball is almost as lame as golf.
This reminds me of a HS basketball game when my coach literally TOLD US to play hard. We were up like 80-4 then she got mad when someone shot a 3 at the last second. One more shot doesn’t matter.
@ I felt so bad! Those girls couldn’t dribble and my coach had us playing full court press. They couldn’t get past half court unless they just launched the ball lmao
The fact that he was forced to apologize, after HIS team ousted him, is disgusting. Respect = not giving pity, swing at the ball because that’s the game!
Seriously after what Tatis's buddy Vladdy is doing with the Jays... you score as much as you can. Unwritten mercy rule? The Jays are posting 11 runs in the last inning.
If this is the "unwritten rule", then they should just have teams that are down 6 after the 6th forfeit the game & go home early. You know, a mercy rule to mercifully spare their fwagile feewings.
I thought that these were professional sports teams if you don’t want to get a grand slam scored on you, you probably shouldn’t have walked three fucking people. Stupid af.
@@hyperstargaming6150 Right!? The Braves BARELY squeaked by tonight! If they hadnt tried to "run up the score," they would have lost! In baseball, unlike other sports, there is no timer. You get a full 27 outs. You can theoretically score a hundred runs on a single out. An infinite number of runs on a single out, really. There is no set timer where it becomes absolutely 100% futile. It isnt like in football where theres only 30 seconds left on the clock and youre down by 5 touchdowns, making a comeback impossible. In baseball, there is no such thing as an "impossible comeback."
While I agree, the ineptitude and history of the Rangers franchise just gets into one’s head. Look at how things went in DC for this disaster of a team.
@youtubesucks It's a competitive sport, he should do what he believes gives his team the best chance to win. What is this, little leagues? He's paid to do it, he shouldn't care about beating the other team TOO badly, that's just silly lmao.
Imagine being up 110-76 in basketball, and you have to give the other team 10 straight open dunks because it's not fair to win that much. Whoever told him he's wrong needs to be fired asap.
@@HeHeeHeeheHe nah it probably would have been worse, especially since the pitcher he homered off of wasn’t white, it woulda been all of this bs and add racism with it
Taking it easy on a team that you're beating is the most disrespectful thing you can ever do in sports. It's simply saying "you're not worth my effort."
@@totobaby12 I agree. You should always give your 100%. That is why you play the game. Nobody plays to lose, why should anyone half ass their abilities because someone gets their feelings hurt. Makes absolutely no sense.
@@launchbase4944 i mean, it is disrespect, if you're saying, there's no way you'll beat me, especially when you're a competitive person, is offensive, and not all people are as competitive as i am when it comes to sports, and the notion that i could never beat someone, is disrespectful. Especially once you have gotten to a pro level and ESPECIALLY in baseball, because in baseball, things can change VERY quickly.
There’s no such thing as a fastball count in the MLB anymore. Don’t want to give up a HR? Then don’t walk the bases loaded and then be forced to throw a good pitch. Put yourself in a better position
You're 100% right! It's a pitchers league now anyways. The science of pitching has come a long way. A swing will always be the same. Either way, they're adults that get paid millions to play a game... They can get off of their egos. LOL
I mean they did "apologize", thats why everyone hates them. It was the most half assed-couldnt care less Apologies I've ever seen. Tatis looked genuinely dejected because he loves and respects this game and the people he looks to for guidance made him feel that way. The astros don't give a shit about the game because they make money
That's the thing though!! Nobody is going to throw in the towel!! Tatis didn't and nobody ever should! This is the best in the world...if ya gotta beat some ass...BEAT SOME ASS!!! Keep swinging Jr. Play ball!!!
This is the part I don’t understand lol the older generations call younger generations and the younger players soft meanwhile they get offended if a hitter literally does his job lol
Boomers: "These kids these days are such snowflakes." Also Boomers: "OMG HE STARED AT HIS HOMERUN REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
You'd change your mind if their "retribution" could take you out of the game for months/years. One fastball to the face or inner knee or elbow and you lose your career, permanently. Definitely not right, but things you have to think about...
@@reeepingk maybe don’t be a bitch for getting absolutely smacked 😂 and if they did that shit on purpose you think I ain’t gonna take them out the game next chance I have 😂

Basically what I learned from this is, in pro baseball, when you're giving the team a beat down, you have to let them come back. This is something I'd expect to see in a children's game not an adult sport.
@@MCash7709 it’s the same with any sport in football when up by 3ish scores u only run the ball think about the receiver and qb stats that could be broke if they wanted to run the score up and not play safe
@@uzi1307 it's different in football.. You can actually lose the game by not playing safe and injuries are a lot higher when you are being careless. In basketball, you bring in the backup to give them playing time, but those guys are trying. Baseball is just doing it for some dumb appearance
@@uzi1307 it's not the same at all. You run the ball in football to eat up the clock so that the other team has an even less chance of winning. In basketball they only put in backups to get them reps. It has nothing at all to do with not wanting to hurt the other teams feelings. That's stupid culture and I hope he keeps pouring in on when the enemy team is down so that hopefully they can lose this dumb unwritten rule.
@@uzi1307 i would agree, but in football they put in their next string so they can get experience. Theyre worse because they want the team to be better.
All the unwritten rules are stupid. Those "rules" are how pitchers justify beaning batters whenever they feel like it, and why teams feel the need to all rush out on the field and stand around for 10 minutes pretending to fight at the drop of a hat. Just play baseball!
It definitely exists even at the lower levels, like high school and middle school, but it doesn’t make any sense. I remember always getting that sign in similar situations and I never got it. I have seen 10+ run innings in middle and high school happen, so I do not believe at any point in time it is impossible for there to be a comeback. That rule is like he said a rule because pitchers are wimps and have fragile egos. If a pitcher gives you a pitch you think you can crush, I do not care if it is 20-0 and the top of the 9th. If you want to swing you shouldnt be scolded for doing so. It is sad to see that the game is still being affected by dumb rules like this.
If there's an unwritten rule that you can't get a home run if you're up by 7 in the 9th inning, then there should be a *written* rule that the game is over if any team has a 7-run lead at any point in the 9th inning.
How about... If you are up by seven in the top,of the ninth, the other team is up to bat, but if they surpass or tie up, your team gets another inning as a chance to beat back their 'comeback'.
I think that's how they do it in Little League. If one team goes ahead by ten runs (or however many it is) the game is over. They call it the Mercy Rule. Of course having mercy on 12-year old boys is one thing: having mercy on grown men making millions of dollars is another.
@@keithsmith4780 I played a season once, 2-3 games a week, and all but 2 games ended in mercy, each game was 6 innings until about halfway through, than it was 7

Neither should exist, it should just be a competition to the end. Baseball is one of the few sports that doesn't have a time limit, why are we leaning away from the spectacle of crazy comebacks? Last inning, losing team is in the outfield I can understand, there's no making back score. But when there's still a whole inning to go it's such a bummer.
"Pitchers, historically, are huge babies." Couldn't agree more. They get mad about everything but their shitty pitching. Be better and maybe the other team won't take you deep.
Rules like this are for children - not grown ass men getting paid millions of dollars to play the sport. You play as hard as you can until the game is over. You see a good pitch - swing at it. No matter the score, no matter the inning. This is why major baseball is stupid. I mean - forget the fact that you sit in front of your TV and watch 2 guys play catch for three and a half hours only for the game to end with a 2-1 score...but then there's all these unwritten rules and these dudes get mad because you're trying to win and not letting them win instead. So dumb.
@Mikuru-Kun bruh like who even let's the other team get the bases loaded that's just asking for a grand slam I'm from Texas but oh my God do the rangers disappoint me they want to be babied even though they are complete ass
As someone who played sports at a high level, the look on his face really saddened me. The Joy of success should never be taken from anyone because it is so hard to be successful consistently.
Exactly what I was saying. It’s not little league. Your paid as a professional. They rather let the team amd fans down than upset the opposing team. Makes no sense. If it were up to me I would call all fans to go on strike and not pay to go to the games
In 2001, Cleveland came back from a 14-2 deficit to win against Seattle. There have been hundreds of 7-run comebacks in MLB history. Do you owe it to the opposing team to strike out and give them a better chance to come back? Play to entertain the fans and play to win until the game ends. If you're doing anything less, you don't deserve to be out there. "Unwritten rules" are trash, if a rule is important, it is written down. Not giving 100% in a child's game in order to protect other millionaires' feelings is ridiculous.

It’s because they hate wasting pitchers. They needs to open up the roster if every pitcher is blowing their arms 4 pitches in throwing 110. They’re pissed because they’re going to blow the game plan for the next 10 days because they can’t get any out. 🤷🏽♂️
7 runs is not even some insurmountable lead. It's silly grown men are upset at a professional for doing his job. He earned the 3-0 count. The pitcher shouldn't have fallen behind 3-0.
Here’s a new rule.. if you’re trash enough to go down 6+ runs you don’t deserve to be shown any respect
as a rangers fan i fully agree
As an Arlington TX resident but NOT a Rangers fan I REEEAALLY agree
That’s how I play sports. When we got our ass whooped, you worked harder so it doesn’t happen again
Here's a new rule, play to win at all times. This aint a children's game where you have to take it easy on the other team when you're giving a beat down. it's a man's professional sport, win by as many points as you can. Stupidest unofficial rule I've ever heard of

Well according to the unwritten rules of the NBA, you aren’t supposed to score on the last possession of the game if you’re team is up by a lot...Let’s not act like baseball players are the only babies here.
The Cleveland Indians lost a 15-4 lead in the top of the 8th in 1925. There is no “safe lead”, always score the run.
The greatest coach in the NFL once said: “If you don’t want us to score, then stop us.”

@@khamjaninja.
I think if someone strikes a pitcher with clear intent then that batter should get an automatic home run rather than a walk to first. I think teams would start cracking down on baby pitchers if it started costing them a ton of runs because that pitcher just let two or three people get home because of their ego.
They are pampered from a young age and used to getting their ass kissed. Like NFL quarterbacks.
NEW UNWRITTEN RULE: If a pitcher fills up the bases and then throws 3 balls, he should have be removed from the game
Automatic 'SIT YO ASS DOWN" rule
I half agree but half don't. I also don't like when pitchers are removed in the middle of innings. It's like, they should have to pitch whole inning and either get out of the jam or give up more runs until they do.
@@ericdickson2065 I think they removed him so that the other pitcher would take the fall for throwing the ball behind the batter

Exactly, just end the game if you have to instead of "unwritten rules"
The funny thing is both of these managers were subsequently fired by the teams they were managing in this video.
“Pitchers historically are huge babies” nothing more needs to be said jomboy
Except our king, Joe Kelly
People are missing the point. The reason the rule exists is to increase odds of finishing the game. Baseball is very imbalance at the extremes. Because there is no clock, other team can just take a fan out of stands to pitch when a score differential gets high. They have no incentive to waste arm of a pro pitcher at this point.
All the players are. How many hitters did yoh see talking to tatis?
Sam Dyson comes to mind. Another time the Texas Rangers get triggered by a home run they gave up.
Tell nolan ryan that, wait for the uppercuts

Historic comebacks in the MLB happen all the time. The Mariners trailed Toronto 8-1 after 5 innings in the playoffs but came back to win. And look at game 6, Mets-Boston in 1986. Play until the final out, never let up. Don't apologize because the other team is inept.
Here’s an unwritten rule: Don’t put a bunch of guys on base then throw three consecutive balls. And if you do, YOU apologize.

I play baseball and basketball, and it’s one thing to shoot a 3 pointer when you’re up 20 with 20 seconds left in the game, when there’s no shot of a comeback. But in baseball, you could theoretically be down 20-0 going into the bottom of the 9th and end up that. Which is why this is one of the stupidest unwritten rules in all of sports

Amen! The biggest thing I hate is when a team jumps out to a big early lead and then just quit for the rest of the game wanting it to get over. Last week, I saw the Pirates jump out to a 7 run lead and then they didn’t even get three hits after that.
I was just thinking the same thing! Skunk Rule! In basketball, you’ll never see a time take the ball down court when they have a huge lead and 2 minutes left, take a shot clock violation or wait till the shot clock is at :01 and pass the ball to their opponents, football the same way offense isn’t gonna down the ball at the beginning of the 4th quarter with a 4 touchdown lead!

That unwritten rule is intended for kids getting their asses whooped in Little League so they can play a full game and not get 10 run ruled, where the game is called early. Not grown men being paid millions to give 110% regardless of the score.

Tatis does not have to wait for a strike, he has personal goals to reach, just like a pitcher does, all players should do their best till the end no matter the sport or score.
Exactly. Why should a pitcher be given a free pass to thrown it down the middle after he fell behind 3-0. These are paid professionals. He can swing 3-0 if he wants.
"I'm sorry you're offended by my grand slam."
I am sorry your pitcher couldn't throw strikes, and that when he had to throw one, I teed up on his useless fucking ass.

Baseball already has comparatively limited action throughout the game, so why the **** would you limit it even more? What a joke lol
Honestly Tatis’ press conference should have gone “Yeah he threw me an easy pitch, so I hit it over the fence. Pitch better and we won’t have this conversation.”
thats exactly what happened too. guy was throwing shit pitches so he got punished. this is not only embarrassing for the ranger bull pen, but the org as a whole since they went on to try and hit manny now shits personal. 4 game sweep incoming as a big fu too would be nice(edit aye called the sweep and 4 slams let's go slam Diego)

Most werent raised like this, especially me and ive played my whole life. you throw it down the middle? nuke
Ok, on the unwritten rule thing, if the pitcher goes up 0-2, is he required to throw a garbage pitch to take it easy on the batter? That's the same thing, right? If a batter isn't supposed to swing when the pitcher can't find the zone for three pitches, shouldn't the pitcher take it easy on a batter who isn't seeing the ball well enough to hit it? I know this is 4+ years old, but it popped up today and I had to watch it again. Jomboy's breakdowns are great, and this one that highlights the inanity of the "unwritten rules" is one of his better ones. Cheers.
Edited to add: Just watched all the comments following the press conference. Saw one from Johnny Bench. No one doubts his baseball credentials, right? "Everyone should hit 3-0. Grand slams are a huge stat." I'll take his word for this. Cheers.
Due to the actions of Tatis, Joe Kelly will be receiving 8 more games of suspension.

My theory on it: if you don't want him hitting a grand slam, get him out.
The unwritten rules are really just a player or manager's excuse for being a crybaby and a sore loser.
@AVERY HUEBEL At least with football there is a clock, and there is no way the team can come back. In baseball, you could score 8 runs in an inning and have an implosion from your bullpen. I'd rather win by 10 runs than leave it to a shaky bullpen.
@AVERY HUEBEL this is pro sports this isn't house league where kids are just out there for fun and skill development. If you're gonna suck in a competitive league, be better.
@AVERY HUEBEL just like football, if you don't want them to run up the score, stop them.
It's selfish to expect the other side to take it easy on you because you are being competitive enough. Even then, beaning a guy because "he watched his home run leave the park" goes back to being a crybaby.
@AVERY HUEBEL This is a professional game, not a co-ed Sunday League. I'd agree with you on most sportsmanship rules, but not this one. The rangers should blame their lack of skill instead of the other team.
@AVERY HUEBEL If you're playing in the most elite league in the world in your sport, it's the losing team's job to keep the game from becoming a blowout. If you don't want to get embarrassed, play better or go back to the minors. Sportsmanship is playing hard no matter what. Going easy on your opponent should be seen as even more disrespectful

THE DOUBLE CHAMP DOES WAT THE FOOK HE WANTS

it's one thing to complain about running up the score in a league like the NBA where there is a set amount of time left and each team takes turns having possessions. Sure you probably don't need to dunk on a breakaway with 40 seconds left when you're up 120-65, I can see how people wouldn't like that or find it unsportsmanlike. But baseball has no limit to how many runs you can score in an inning, so a comeback is ALWAYS possible. If you don't want to be scored on when you're down 10-3 then forfeit the game. Otherwise shut up and play better.
"Wah, wah, wah. Mommy, he hit a grand slam off me. It's not fair." Just play the game. Good for him. Do not apologize for being good.
"He cheated by being better than me at the game"

@@HeHeeHeeheHe nah it probably would have been worse, especially since the pitcher he homered off of wasn’t white, it woulda been all of this bs and add racism with it
Its not cheating. Just a sign of weakness
Taking it easy on a team that you're beating is the most disrespectful thing you can ever do in sports. It's simply saying "you're not worth my effort."
Not disrespectful to them, but to your own abilities. At the end of the day you're messing up your own stats
@@totobaby12 I agree. You should always give your 100%. That is why you play the game. Nobody plays to lose, why should anyone half ass their abilities because someone gets their feelings hurt. Makes absolutely no sense.
I mean it's not really disrespectful idk if I'd go that far but to all of this that happened in the video is bullshit
@@launchbase4944 i mean, it is disrespect, if you're saying, there's no way you'll beat me, especially when you're a competitive person, is offensive, and not all people are as competitive as i am when it comes to sports, and the notion that i could never beat someone, is disrespectful. Especially once you have gotten to a pro level and ESPECIALLY in baseball, because in baseball, things can change VERY quickly.
That's 100
There’s no such thing as a fastball count in the MLB anymore. Don’t want to give up a HR? Then don’t walk the bases loaded and then be forced to throw a good pitch. Put yourself in a better position
Facts 💯💯
wasnt even middle middle! he hit it opposite field!
You're 100% right! It's a pitchers league now anyways. The science of pitching has come a long way. A swing will always be the same. Either way, they're adults that get paid millions to play a game... They can get off of their egos. LOL
If a team is lead by more than 6 and they want the opposing team to stop adding to the counter, there's a very simply way. Just forfeit the game.
Whys tatis have to apologize for hitting a grand slam, but the Astros don't have to apologize for literally cheating in the world series
I mean they did "apologize", thats why everyone hates them. It was the most half assed-couldnt care less Apologies I've ever seen. Tatis looked genuinely dejected because he loves and respects this game and the people he looks to for guidance made him feel that way. The astros don't give a shit about the game because they make money
But remember at the time what the astros did was not technically illegal or cheating was not in rule book at the time until the end of season
@@pudinbar8516 that was probably an unwritten rule
@@laa0fa502 well I mean if they didn't apologize, then you fools are going to be crying about it even more
Because he wanted to
the solution should be a a "tap out" rule. A team can quit if they are embarrassingly behind.
otherwise shut up and lose big.
It called forefit
@@yesa36 no. it's called conceding
@@agentorange4146 same thing it still means to quit
That's the thing though!! Nobody is going to throw in the towel!! Tatis didn't and nobody ever should! This is the best in the world...if ya gotta beat some ass...BEAT SOME ASS!!! Keep swinging Jr. Play ball!!!
Thank you.
Baseball unwritten rules are made by people who don’t like getting their feelings hurt
Actually, they have been made by people who don't like 95mph fastballs thrown at their star players' heads.
Thank you! Bunch of P%$$*#$
Made for teams that suck ass
Towelie thank u
@Towelie I agree
Old heads: league got soft
Also old heads: UNWRITTEN RULES
This is the part I don’t understand lol the older generations call younger generations and the younger players soft meanwhile they get offended if a hitter literally does his job lol
Haha straight up... But other team can still do a defensive switch?
Boomers: "These kids these days are such snowflakes."
Also Boomers: "OMG HE STARED AT HIS HOMERUN REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Phil Michaels facts 😂😂 the worst part is when you call them out on it they won’t admit they’re soft as shit lol
Facts. We're out here trying to score runs, if the other team doesn't like it they can forfeit and leave XD
I’d rather have everyone pissed off at me than take the strike.
You'd change your mind if their "retribution" could take you out of the game for months/years. One fastball to the face or inner knee or elbow and you lose your career, permanently. Definitely not right, but things you have to think about...
@@reeepingk maybe don’t be a bitch for getting absolutely smacked 😂 and if they did that shit on purpose you think I ain’t gonna take them out the game next chance I have 😂
There a lot of unwritten rules in life and sometimes not following them will get you shitcanned. Like don’t sleep with the manager’s girl. You don’t play along, they snuff you out like an anomaly. Scary stuff.
@@reeepingk if you're that petty to openly cheat or condone hurting someone via cheating (not you specifically, people in general) then you deserve 0 respect in life
@@TeamTimeRiders that’s not an unwritten rule, it’s a very obvious rule haha
The only mistake Tatis made was not flipping his bat.
Followed by a “suck it” hand gesture.
nowww that would have caused a brawl....
Fax
Best thing the Rangers should do there is nothing then, just give up and accept their annual failure.
god damn right boss, shit i should of totally said that... should of gave them the old deitrich home run pimp job
If you don't want the other team to score, then get the batters out! It's really just that simple
Tatis owes no apologies. Everyone who threw him under the bus should apologize to him.
That's so God damn true
another padres grand slam in first inning today AND tatis stole third with 2 out up 6 today, loving this narrative
He’s another “I’m the best” so I’m just going to be a jerk. Disgraceful to the whole sport
Tatis shouldn't have apologized I love watching him play and should keep playing and listen to no rules
MLB fan 7 lmao stfu troll.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry everyone. I’m just too good at baseball”
Hosmer pissed me off on that one
That comes off as poor sportsmanship. Kind of like a guy who sucks at everything but can do one things well.

Coming back from 10-3 isn't impossible, run up the score and keep your team in control of the game.
People complain about baseball losing popularity but then complain when exciting players do exciting things.
Facts ‼
If you made it to the the Big Show and got lucky enough to take a swing at a granny pitch, wouldn’t you swing?
Exactly!!! People complain that baseball is "boring" as well... With all the crybaby unwritten rules about not-celebrating homers, no bat-flipping, no.... swinging on 3-0 cuz ur up... 7??? Wtf man. I can't defend this sport sometimes lol.
Baseball: “I wonder why people don’t watch baseball”
*This*
lol
That, and it's boring as fuck.

@@jimmytwotime6875 na far from boring actually it's the hardest game in sports I'd love to see you try an do thare job
This is why so many people feel like baseball is dumb
No no it is dumb
this is why people KNOW baseball is dumb. I’d have been kicked off my college team for anything remotely like this.
Justyn Jordan baseball is damn near dead because of this. Also the unwritten rules of walking anyone with talent.
Basically what I learned from this is, in pro baseball, when you're giving the team a beat down, you have to let them come back. This is something I'd expect to see in a children's game not an adult sport.
@Barack Obama I mean i’d assume baseball is boring when u have a unwritten rules where u don’t allow players to have “fun”
Unwritten rules were written by losing teams and pitchers that gave up home runs
Why do the rangers care didn’t they beat the Orioles 30-3?
🤣🤣🤣
Exactly
exactly, even in football that'd be a blow out. lol
And what if Texas comes back? Loser mentality on both sides
Ya we did.
So, basically, most pitchers stats are inflated due to "respect" that's fucking nuts
Think about how many batters averages were probably lower over the years from not swinging in these instances.
@@MCash7709 it’s the same with any sport in football when up by 3ish scores u only run the ball think about the receiver and qb stats that could be broke if they wanted to run the score up and not play safe
@@uzi1307 it's different in football.. You can actually lose the game by not playing safe and injuries are a lot higher when you are being careless. In basketball, you bring in the backup to give them playing time, but those guys are trying.
Baseball is just doing it for some dumb appearance
@@uzi1307 it's not the same at all. You run the ball in football to eat up the clock so that the other team has an even less chance of winning. In basketball they only put in backups to get them reps. It has nothing at all to do with not wanting to hurt the other teams feelings. That's stupid culture and I hope he keeps pouring in on when the enemy team is down so that hopefully they can lose this dumb unwritten rule.
@@uzi1307 i would agree, but in football they put in their next string so they can get experience. Theyre worse because they want the team to be better.
I don’t know about everyone else but that seems like an utterly stupid unwritten rule to me
I've never heard of it. Seems like something losers made up
All the unwritten rules are stupid. Those "rules" are how pitchers justify beaning batters whenever they feel like it, and why teams feel the need to all rush out on the field and stand around for 10 minutes pretending to fight at the drop of a hat. Just play baseball!
It definitely exists even at the lower levels, like high school and middle school, but it doesn’t make any sense. I remember always getting that sign in similar situations and I never got it. I have seen 10+ run innings in middle and high school happen, so I do not believe at any point in time it is impossible for there to be a comeback. That rule is like he said a rule because pitchers are wimps and have fragile egos. If a pitcher gives you a pitch you think you can crush, I do not care if it is 20-0 and the top of the 9th. If you want to swing you shouldnt be scolded for doing so. It is sad to see that the game is still being affected by dumb rules like this.
Those unwritten rules sucks, in basketball or soccer you celebrate when you score, that’s how you win games
“Unwritten” means it’s literally not a rule
Don't be a smart ass.
@@lukaz3336 how its true
@@lukaz3336 We don't like none of that head thinkin' 'round here.

@@atticusmanning5688 That's not an unwritten rule. That's just one of the superstitions that a lot of players subscribe to.
“We’ll talk to him.” Seriously? Talk to the Rangers about loading the bases and working the count to 3-0.

If that’s me and that’s how the team acts to me doing that, I’m out.
People are such pussies, run the score up. Your fault that you can’t keep up, cry about it.
I would have made the Waah, Waah crying baby sign at them.
SIXPACFISH you would have been hit by fastball
"i would like to apologize.... TO ABSOLUTELY FOOKIN NOBODY!"

Love this one 🤣
❤️❤️🤣🤟🏽
Acuna quote
I would like to apologize....for NOT GIVING A FUCK
That's a long, complicated and specific unwritten rule.
If there's an unwritten rule that you can't get a home run if you're up by 7 in the 9th inning, then there should be a *written* rule that the game is over if any team has a 7-run lead at any point in the 9th inning.
How about...
If you are up by seven in the top,of the ninth, the other team is up to bat, but if they surpass or tie up, your team gets another inning as a chance to beat back their 'comeback'.
I think that's how they do it in Little League. If one team goes ahead by ten runs (or however many it is) the game is over. They call it the Mercy Rule. Of course having mercy on 12-year old boys is one thing: having mercy on grown men making millions of dollars is another.
@@keithsmith4780 I played a season once, 2-3 games a week, and all but 2 games ended in mercy, each game was 6 innings until about halfway through, than it was 7
@@hhiippiittyy How about... people play the sport and all try to win instead of creating more complicated rules. These people are paid to be the best of the best, why are they expected to restrict themselves when the other team are gonna play as hard as they can to try and win?
Neither should exist, it should just be a competition to the end. Baseball is one of the few sports that doesn't have a time limit, why are we leaning away from the spectacle of crazy comebacks? Last inning, losing team is in the outfield I can understand, there's no making back score. But when there's still a whole inning to go it's such a bummer.
"Pitchers, historically, are huge babies."
Couldn't agree more. They get mad about everything but their shitty pitching. Be better and maybe the other team won't take you deep.
Best example is bumgardner
Best example of pitchers being babies bumgarner
Best example of a pitcher getting mad at himself and not the other team ken Giles and kershaw
Mr.Papagiorgio i was about to say that😂😂
I was pretty sure that i was going to see Bumgarner's name at some point in the comments lmao
As a former pitcher, I endorse this message.
Rules like this are for children - not grown ass men getting paid millions of dollars to play the sport. You play as hard as you can until the game is over. You see a good pitch - swing at it. No matter the score, no matter the inning. This is why major baseball is stupid. I mean - forget the fact that you sit in front of your TV and watch 2 guys play catch for three and a half hours only for the game to end with a 2-1 score...but then there's all these unwritten rules and these dudes get mad because you're trying to win and not letting them win instead. So dumb.
@Mikuru-Kun bruh like who even let's the other team get the bases loaded that's just asking for a grand slam I'm from Texas but oh my God do the rangers disappoint me they want to be babied even though they are complete ass
You got it backwards
As someone who played sports at a high level, the look on his face really saddened me. The Joy of success should never be taken from anyone because it is so hard to be successful consistently.
Thats right!!! Facts!!!
Exactly what I was saying. It’s not little league. Your paid as a professional. They rather let the team amd fans down than upset the opposing team. Makes no sense. If it were up to me I would call all fans to go on strike and not pay to go to the games
In 2001, Cleveland came back from a 14-2 deficit to win against Seattle. There have been hundreds of 7-run comebacks in MLB history. Do you owe it to the opposing team to strike out and give them a better chance to come back?
Play to entertain the fans and play to win until the game ends. If you're doing anything less, you don't deserve to be out there. "Unwritten rules" are trash, if a rule is important, it is written down. Not giving 100% in a child's game in order to protect other millionaires' feelings is ridiculous.
