Posey is literally a quarter of the video. This dude is one of the best all time and a true badass
That's why he had a great year in '21 when he took '20 off.
He also took a ton of bats to his globe hand due to how shallow he was behind the plate.
its because he was in SF. They can't see straight...
@@Skinnypig711bro 🤣🤣🤣
@@benjamifresc3094 I’m glad someone got it. lol
Props to the umpires in this video. Each made sure the catcher got time to pull it together before allowing the play to resume. Walking the ball to the pitcher or dusting the plate are done for a reason
You'll notice that when it's the ump getting nailed, the catchers catch them and give them aid too. It's a professional courtesy because we are both in the line of fire (I say that as a catcher growing up and an umpire today.) At this level, it's even worse because of the velo's those pitches are coming in at. When I played, MLB pitchers were fast at 90... today.. 90 is the changup... but even at much slower speeds, when they go off the mask, it will knock you a bit silly. Now we know more of concussions to add credence to that. Not to mention that some of those went off the catcher "junk"... If you're a guy, I don't need to tell you that even at 1mph, that's won't tickle..
As an NCAA ump, your best friends for the day are the catchers. You always slow down for them when they need it. You gotta work with 'em all day. If they're sticking pitches, let 'em know exactly why you think it missed and how close it was. If they give you enough gruff, listen -- they're the only person with a better view than you. And if they get nailed, you give them time. Always.
“Breaking ball, on Sanchez.” Sir, I believe he broke both.
As someone who played catcher several years, a cup helps absorb a hit but still hurts a lot, same for mask/helmet shots.
Helmet shots dont hurt as bad as a cup shot
@@dluce9804 Head shots usually don't hurt unless you get tagged in the jaw. Mainly it's about getting your bell rung and seeing straight.
@@PeteNice29 Fair. It IS a bit disorienting but its not bad
I was a catcher last two years of high school, cup protected me and twice got hurt like hell plus a broken thumb of my throwing hand at practice getting ready to throw 2nd against base stealer but the foul ballots me.
Yeah the cup is the difference between ruining your day and never being able to have kids again
0:53
The reaction time of that umpire was on point.
Like he knew right away that he was gonna go down.. Well done my good man.
I remember I used to think that catchers were being dramatic about foul tips hitting them in the mask. But in high school, one day at practice I had to practice catching cause our main catcher was having an oblique issue, and our backup already had a broken thumb and they thought I could pick up on it quickest cause I had the ability to play anywhere on the field and I had worked on catcher in the past, very briefly though. To try and get me some reps before our next game I caught pitches and was back there for live BP. Had the pitching machine throwing the ball at mid to upper 80’s and one of my teammates fouled tipped it and hit me square in the mask, all I did was stay squatted and kinda put my head down and closed my eyes cause I actually got dizzy. Worst part about it is our next 2 games got cancelled cause of rain and our starting catcher was able to play before we played, so that happened for nothing. Never judged a catcher about that afterwards and always think to myself “welp he needs a couple seconds” when one gets hit by a foul tip
Bro literally same. I definitely learned the truth lol
It’s called a concussion😂😂😂😂😂
Same here, last game I played as catcher, it was a pick up game and I didn’t have my shinguards and took wild pitch off my shin. Every time I bump that spot now and its been a couple of weeks , a shooting pain that makes me grit my teeth and groan
@@Neverforget343 who the hell let you step behind the plate without all your gear😂😂
@@EV-qu2lbmy own dumbass, it was a pick up game between a group of friends.
When I played ,at tryouts, everybody was either a pitcher ,or first baseman,my dad told me to lose the first Batemans mitt ,and get a catchers mitt !!! ,I was the first name called as starting catcher !!!! ,Greatest day of my life !!!!!!
Your dad should have told you to focus on education instead of baseball!!!
Kindergarten story
@@surf101-you can literally get an education and play ball that’s the point
You won't play baseball as a career
Joey+Posey+Giants= ball magnet
Buster Posey went thru war back there.
Shakin up is Sanchez might need to be a new baseball phrase 😂
The ball stuck in the mask had me dying!😂😂😂😂
Molina taking two to the face in the same at-bat is brutal.
Remember the show "Ow! My balls!" on the movie Idiocracy? Thats us right now.
At least we have adblock
@@poika22 dont bother me, im 'batin
HAHAH
And crocs are popular. .
Just like as predicted
I have always appreciated the respect between catchers and umpires. They really look out for each other.
0:48 1:34 every man watching yelped on those.
Thats why we have cups and it still hurts
I think a catcher in the late 80s had that happen twice in one game.
Vin Scully went silent out of respect. He knew.
Can't look away at the springy motion the ball makes on the cup😮🗿
Dude give buster a break lmao
Watching these, there are a few good umpires left that give us hope.
I’m in disbelief how many times posey has been in this video lmaoooo
I've had a few fouled off my mask when I played ball. Best way I can describe it is that you get staggered. Ears may ring, your vision may flash at impact, and you kinda lose sense of your surroundings for a second (which is why you see most of these guys sorta go limp like they're knocked out, but then get back to it like nothing happened after a few seconds). Those helmets do a great job at taking shots. Sure, may get a bruise or two, but usually not an injury that forces you out of a game.
All I can say is that it is a good thing that catcher's gear exists.
Damn that first on gonna sting.... why my coach always told the catcher 'basically you scratch your ass with your throwing hand until you need it to throw'.
They don’t call the gear “the tools of ignorance” for nothin….
😂
To many thing happens with the giants 💀💀💀
Man, half of these are Posey. That dude took a regular beating behind the plate. Champ!
1:28
I love how fast the crowd goes from cheering to concern upon realizing the injury.
Granted we were kids in the backyard, but it's a wonder I'm still alive playing catcher in the backyard with zero gear...lol
Imagine a hammer coming at your face at 90 mph or more😳
Buster posey!😂😂😂
He was a heck of catcher! This makes him look like the unluckiest catcher ever
When Buster retired, he said he wanted to be healthy for his family and spend more time with his kids. What a warrior and champion that dude is. First ballot all the way.
Giant catchers really take a beating!
SO many giants catchers and a lot of Buster Posey, man its gotta be tough catching in the Bay Area
At aged 11, my catcher Teddy asked me to NOT do the cup check. Coach wanted the pitcher to give a rap to the catcher before each game. Teddy forgot his. Anyway, later in the game, foul ball below his glove, and BOOM! I had the best shot in the house. He crawled all the way to the dugout, and threw up! It was AWESOME!
Molina gets lit up a lot apparently lol
I remember a young man that played LL with my youngest son…he was the catcher AND also a hockey goalie…I teased him for not being wrapped too tight since he had balls thrown at him and pucks shot at him on purpose…
Buster Posey and Kurt Suzuki were two of the toughest catchers I have ever seen! Posey should easily make the HOF! Suzuki no chance but always fun to watch! This is why catchers finish their careers as first basemen!
My son caught for ten years before switching to pitcher in college. He had four surgeries for various broken bones and injuries. You have to have a different mentality to be a catcher.
Catchers sure do sacrifice their bodies not to mention the effect it takes on their knees alone. Make you a old man quick.
Played catcher in highschool, foul tips off mask or chest protector hurt like hell, back swings to back of glove or another backswing I took to the elbow of glove hand hurt a whole lot more
What is with every 3rd or 4th clip being a Giants catcher
Buster Posey is a G and madbum (Madison bumgardener) is mad
Geez, why would ANYONE want to be a catcher...? Ouch!
You are a part of every play, you control the game. Catching is the best position in baseball to play. IMO. These moments are just a part of it.
0:48 my soul left my body
1:34 my skeleton left my body.
Yep these are he worst catchers in baseball. Oh wait....did I read this wrong? LOL
Props to the umps and batters who acted concerned for the catchers.
These should be a part of Posey's HOF vid
I took a foul tip that did nerve damage to my catching thumb. Doctor called it skiers thumb. Pretty much ended my college career.
those purple flake Rockies helmets were so cool. everything is so boring now because of Nike.
My boy Posey was getting a beating on the Giants😂🤦🏽♂️
Oof. Some of these give new meaning to the term 'breaking ball'. 😂
God they need to give catchers hockey goalie style armor
Between Posey and Molina, that’s half the video. Throw in the Giants catchers and there is 3/4 of it.
If the catchers helmets are like cricket helmets than one thing that probably isnt obvious is the noise when a ball hits it , i played for many many years and i can assure you that the noise is very loud when you do get hit , BUT my fellow team mates would think it was funny to tap the helmet with a ball , thats loud enough lol
Except for my first year of LL I spent every year of my baseball career thru HS as a catcher. I never received a nut sot or a bell ringer to the mask. Afterwards, I had a 3,000 game career as an umpire and spent 40% of those games behind the plate. No nut shots, one broken bone, one severely bruised abdomen, and one incident where a cross up between a pitcher and a catcher resulted in a fastball taking my add on throat guard off my mask and planting it against my throat. if not tor the add on my throat is crushed and I choke to death The only thing all that protection is meant to do is to minimize injury, not prevent it.
Man that wire mesh being dented on that one mask was scary to see.
Like 40% of these are Giants. Poor fellas.
The Force 3 catcher mask was available for every one of these concussion hits. its all on the catchers equipment choice.
Im starting to understand why Posey retired to early… lol
Just a couple days ago Logan O'Hoppe had to be removed, and then missed the next game after DBacks hitter Randall Grichuk fouled one so hard off his groin it moved his cup almost 5"
There's tough, and then there's MLB catcher tough.
Tough with a side order of masochism. LOL
Crazy to think that every catcher in this video got hit eith the baseball. What are the odds?
The baseball kept getting bigger, then it hit me
Was a catcher for many years. Will never forget how I took two off the throat in one practice
Posey took beating after beating back there.
I caught from 14-17 years old. Got a mouth guard after my first year which helped with foul balls off the mask so my mouth wouldn't go numb.
0:46 i felt that
Tough position to play. I wonder how many times a catcher gets hit like that in a season on average?
I'm buying my catcher a 12-pack after this
The one on Sanchez is brutal.
This is why I couldn't be a catcher as a kid
Do you have any more with the Giants? Jfc
Damn, this was a Buster Posey ouch lite
I’m surprised there was only one Alex Avila shot on this one….he took more than anyone.
Does the foul tip make the ball travel faster into their face?
Most of these announcers do not know what a foul ball is or what a foul tip is
How many times is Buster going to get hit lmao
Buster Posey is just going through it
Damn. I love my giants. I feel for our catchers.
how are not showing Alex Avila? dude had SPARKS come off his mask he got hit so hard
They aren't foul tips, they are foul balls.
Foul balls-1 San Francisco’s catchers-0
🤔... Note to self: Pick a fight with anyone but the catcher on a baseball team.
Yeah people think 'on it hit him on the mask he'll be fine'... well from personal experience with both I can tell you getting tagged on the mask is just like getting hit with a flush punch in a boxing match. Depending on just where it hits it can literally 'ring your bell'... hard...
Interesting that there are few reactions from the hitters
4:29 is that not a Balk? That little stutter step or whatever you want to call it. Serious question
0:36 that was the start of the Giants Catcher woes that weekend. Think they ended up with 3 or 4 of them that series. 2:01 no its not because it hit equipment. There's actually a rule that if you field it with your mask its considered a Balk, or something equivilant that lets the runners move up something about an Equipment violation
Catchers are tough there's no doubt. how about a video showing catchers in the 70's and 80's getting hit by a pitch. Those guys were tough.
I wonder how many Catchers develop concussion syndrome...
1:14 hits the face mask SO HARD that flecks of paint shoot off the metal!
1:30 ouch 😬
Feels like half of these chips are of Buster. No wonder he retired so early
I don't know. I think I would rather wear a cup so it hurt less to get hit in the bean bag,
I remember the chest protection going all the way down to the crotch. Since when did that piece get removed? If it got removed, seems like they would start wearing cups.
Maybe go in the locker room and check out their protection. They do wear cups and padding underneath. By the way how hard the ball comes in no amount of protection is going to help.
@@kbs8597No flexible protection, anyway. And a rigid guard would impair movement. If a guy wants to have a big crop of kids, he better not play catcher.
They wear cups...
And it just takes a little off the total injury in the event... it doesn't eliminate injury at all.
the brother hood of catchers and plate umpires....
Buster always getting beat up
Follow up with the injury and if they missed any time!
Hmmm, you missed the Yadier Molina foul tip against the Cubs 3-4 yrs ago
I remember the one that hit him in the nuts so hard he needed surgery.
All I can say is that’s using your head mate
One new injury = a compilation of all the highlights we’ve seen a million times before
Well you are going to see it a million more times and you are going to like it
All I hear is “molina”
Poor guy
I was catcher in hs and college, nowhere near this level and this shit sux!!! Foul tip 85-90 mph fb sucks, these guys are upper 90s most the time!!!!
1:34 "Breaking ball"
