@@ColognialNoahDE Nah. They are just allowed to unsafely pack stadiums in some parts of Europe, and use FLARES. If the USA allowed flares, Philadelphia would EASILY make a video alongside "ultras" in footy.
I was at three playoff games at CBP last year, including World Series Game 3. Yh3 crowd gets so amped that you can feel the stands sway under your feet. There is nothing like a Phillies playoff crowd.
Literally. And the stadium was constructed that way, it literally sways and bounces like shocks on a car lol. when it was built in 2003 my uncle was a union carpenter and worked there the whole year during construction. I was in 5th grade. I live 8 minutes walking distance to CBP.
14:09 That’s Nick Castellanos’ 9 year old son. Must be pretty awesome to see your dad hit 2 HRs in a postseason game. You’ll notice Nick points to his son after he touches home plate.
This game showcases why Bryce Harper is a perfect fit for the Phillies. Philly is a loud and aggressive city and you won't find a more aggressive player in the league than Bryce Harper. He's the perfect man to lead this team and represents this city to a tee.
The Phillies are the oldest still in the same city baseball organization in the country. and the only team whose name is the city. Which is a big reason why we are so fanatical about our baseball team and our mascot of course, Phillies aren’t just our team. We are Phillies.
@@technomasta exactly what I keep saying what a lot of people don’t realize.. your team is the one your father took you to see when you were Young I danced with a Phanatic on the dugout the first year he appeared and watched him destroy three cars at the dealership. My dad worked at.🤣 not only do we have the best fan base and the best mascot. We have the best fans but people just focus on the bad ,we are that way because we know this game and we know our team and we let them know
Okay, to answer your question about the 'Check Swing', it is when the batter starts to swing the bat at a pitched ball, but holds back enough so that the bat does not go past the plane of home plate. If the batter can't hold back, it is ruled a swing attempt, and thus a strike. A bit of trivia also for you guys over there - Citizen's Bank. to which the Phillies home field is named for, is a subsidiary of The Royal Bank of Scotland, of which you can see its logo next to the name under the Liberty Bell in the right field.
The Phillies wear powder blue for Thursday home games, cream white for home afternoon games, red shirts for regular season road games with travel after the game, and then grey for all other away games and red pinstripes for all other home games are their two basic uniforms.
If the bat goes over the plate, then it's a strike. If the batter manages to hold it back from breaking the plane, it's a checked swing. But honestly, because of the nature of umpires, it almost always comes down to a judgement call
i was here and you don’t understand how loud it is. you don’t even hear yourself scream it’s that loud! the headache that comes after the game is unreal, from the drinking, the screaming, and overall adrenaline through the whole game. phillies fans don’t sit when it’s red october. we stand all 9 because that’s what fans are supposed to do… support your team!
Players now use bubble gum or sunflower seeds since chewing tobacco has fallen out of favor, but it used to be every baseball player pretty much chewed tobacco. Part of it is just culture and tradition, partly to have something to occupy you in the dugout, but some players insist chewing something helps with the various timing-based aspects of baseball.
Check Swing: the bat needs to cross the front of the plate, but there also needs to be "intent to swing" usually rotation of the shoulders and hips. It's a judgement call by a 1st or 3rd base ump. And one they get wrong a lot, like in this case. No way they call that in the regular season. They've been a lot more conservative in the playoffs this year.
If the bat breaks the plane of the bottom of home plate, it’s counted as a strike. The home plate umpire will appeal to either the 1st or 3rd base umpire because they have the best view for judging check swings.
If a player swings past home plate it’s considered a swing rather than a checked swing. The opposite field umpire makes that call. For a lefty the third base umpire makes the call and for a righty the first base umpire makes the call.
The green thing is the Philly Phanatic. one of, if not the greatest mascot in US sports. Now I will say Philadelphia fans do have a well earned well reputation but the full house and the energy of the crowd makes even watching on TV or listening on radio far more engaging than say the Tampa Bay Rays game with 19k people. I think the Phillies get more than 19k during a normal season weekday game.
Bryce Harper & Nick Castellanos (both hit 2 home runs last night) were wearing Deion Sanders ‘Prime’ shirts going into the ballpark & after. Funny thing is, Sanders won a World Series with the Braves. You couldn’t hear some of the other chants too well on tv (on purpose because they weren’t PG) but they were way better than the mock tomahawk chop! 😂
Best fans in baseball. I heard you guys asking how the MLB playoffs work. Here it is. Wildcard Series Best of 3. Divisional Series Best of 5. League Championship Series Best of 7. World Series Best of 7.
higher seed gets home field. So 2 games at home, 2 games on the road, then 1 at home if necessary. Once it goes to 7 games, it goes 2 home, 3 away, 2 home, higher seed get 4 home games. As an American, I hate the playoff system. Just depends on which team has the momentum going into the playoffs. Regular season does not matter.
The only really hard and fast rule pertaining to check swings is the fact that the rules of Major League Baseball stipulate that the home plate umpire had to determine whether or not , in his expert opinion, the batter swung at the pitch. There is no official guide or anything to tell them how to actually determine that, just their own judgement, expertise, and observation. That said, in the event that the home plate umpire rules that the batter did not swing, the catcher can request that he ask one of the other umpires for a second opinion, and typically they then ask the first base umpire (or the third base umpire, depending on who had a better point of view on it, which will be different depending on whether the batter is batting lefty or righty). The home plate umpire will generally take the other umpire's ruling and use that, in those cases. There is the myth that, traditionally, any time the bat crosses in front of the imaginary plane formed by the front edge of home plate (imagine a flat vertical plane which is bolt vertical and contains the front edge of the plate), that it should be considered a swing, but there's still a lot of ambiguity in that. Whether the batter rotates his body in any way, where he stands in the batters box, etc.
4:45 unfortunately there is no clear rule as to what a check swing is. The way it's worded is the pitch is a strike if it: “is struck at by the batter and is missed.” It's basically umpire's discretion. Typically people go off of whether the wrists "break," allowing the bathead to come around. Other times it seems to be based on if the bathead goes forward of home plate. It's really something they should nail down
Please react to some Diamondbacks! We don’t make it to the playoffs often and we swept the Dodgers in a wild series. Also set a record for most home runs in one inning in the playoffs, 4 home runs. React to that at least, it was insane to watch live!
We don’t burn things down, but the city literally greases the light poles and converges on Broad St/City Hall. When we’re about to win something, announcers and fans alike yell “grease the poles!”.
As a Phillies fan, there are no fans like Phillies fans! There may be about 45,000 people in Citizens Bank Park, but it sounds like 100,000. I wish I could attend more games, but Philly is too far away, especially for night games. You can't hear the person next to you. Saying something terrible about Harper is just stupid. Don't 'poke the bear'; you will pay for it, and the Braves did. He has been a superstar since he was 15 years old. The MLB was already scouting him then, and was on Sports Illustrated's cover when he was 16. CONGRATULATIONS to our Phillies!!! 💗🤍💙⚾⚾⚾
If the USA allowed flares, Philadelphia would EASILY make a video alongside "ultras" in footy. We are CRAZY and considered to be the Newcastle of the USA in terms of rowdy fans

It has been said that the Phillies and the Eagles have the best fans in the nation, in their respective sports . . . . . AND, in the case of the Eagles, the worst fans, as well.
Another example of the flawed new playoff system. 5 days off is way too much and takes the teams who won their division off their hot streaks. The only exclusion is Houston who already have a ton of post season experience. The Orioles and Dodgers are another w smoke along w/ the Braves. Awful decision by MLB to extend the wildcard Eddie’s beforehand..

Yea. It’s 100% a judgement call. Ask 10 umpires, and you’ll get 100 answers. I just asked myself “Did he strike at the ball?”
Also From what I understand there isn’t an official rule to correctly identify what is or isn’t a check swing… I might be wrong tho
Thank you. Great explanation 👍🏻
@@LuigiGHD your bat has to cross the plate for it to constitute a swing iirc

The Bat has to sweep across home plate or its a check swing . Umpires were terrible with calling actual check swings strikes all series both ways.
Checked swing is what ever the ump says it is,generally the barrel of the bat cant go past the foul lines.
I thought it was the bat couldn’t go past the plate?
The bat can’t go past the plate
Love this!
The Bat Has To Cross The Plate To Be A Strike.
If the bat crosses home plate on a check swing then it's a strike. If the batter keeps the bat behind the front of the plate then it's a ball.
Phillies and Mets are the London series for 2024, if you want to see them mash in real life!
Fuck yes. Finally some Phillies reactions!
Finally?? There was one like 2 days ago 😂😂
The determining factor on a checked swing is if the batter breaks his wrists.
The only really hard and fast rule pertaining to check swings is the fact that the rules of Major League Baseball stipulate that the home plate umpire had to determine whether or not , in his expert opinion, the batter swung at the pitch. There is no official guide or anything to tell them how to actually determine that, just their own judgement, expertise, and observation.

Whether the batter rotates his body in any way, where he stands in the batters box, etc.
If the umpire at first base for right handed batter or third for a lefty see's the top of the bat, it's a strike.
Hope you guys are watching this next one

check swing can't go more than halfway through the swing it admittedly can get pretty subective
