I might be a Giants fan...but I like Cutch; the dude just seems like a straight-up legend...
Snakebloke well he’s on your team now
Snakebloke giants fan here too
He never forgets his small town FL roots. He and his wife have done amazing work with underprivileged youth back home. No matter what team he’s on, his hometown people are proud of him.
He is a good dude. @@BrendaD72
I’ll never forget that walk off he had against the Dodgers. That was a fun night.
Cutch is seriously the man. Great all around player, class act, great story, good PERSON, what more could you want?
sustianible income sounds nice
@@Ant-fe7ku He's a baseball player. Like most pro athletes, he is making enough in the years he has to play professionally to set himself and his family up for the rest of his life. Plus he will probably have advertising deals for years after he retires from baseball.
he is the larry fitzgerald of baseball
Love this. Everyone getting stuck in, helping each other out.
There's no 'that's not my job'. That's a proper team there. Not just the players, but coaching staff, grounds crew, security, all part of 1 team 👍👍
if it was the Mets 3 of them would’ve gotten hurt doing this, 1 being season-ending
That's class right there. New found respect for the pirates organization.
Captain_of_Solitude True. Then again, it's always been there. Not to mention they had a sense of humor about it...I mean, where else can you purchase a T shirt that reads "I Survived The Tarp Monster" from the team shop?
+Captain_of_Solitude that's not class. They are doing what they should be doing, helping. They are not above that, which I tip my hat to.
I'm a die hard Orioles fan but I like the Pirates a lot. Lots of good guys on that team and a great organization. This video just helps solidify that these guys give a shit.
MatthewRein1 I
God im so over everyone using class or class act to refer to anyone in sports.
This guy is lucky he didn't die or get horribly hurt. My uncle is a grounds crew with the tarps for the cardinals. That thing is very very heavy. And he's lucky the wind didn't just pick it up and it could've moved much higher and farther in the air. Thank goodness the bucs and others helped. True teamwork and graditude.

You look like you are 5 years old, lmao
These are the types of things that don’t seem like such a big deal to the players helping, but mean an astronomical amount to the groundskeepers. It all boils down to respect.
Definitely. Mccutchen also seems like the kind of guy to genuinely make eye contact and acknowledge each stadium staff he passes by and interacts with on a daily basis. A humble and awesome guy. I also am a big NBA fan and the Portland Trail Blazers are my local team and Damian Lillard is the same kind of guy. Knows and says hello to every stadium staff on his way down the tunnel no matter how insignificant that employee is on the organizations payroll
This is what I call real teamwork...aside from playing the game, these guys are willing to help the grounds crew out with the tarp.
McCutchen is a class act.
Medevah everything is more interesting than baseball
trf12567 better than not getting the tarp on... it’s not like a big tsunami will cover the entire tarp.
I am a Cardinals fan and I stand and applaud the Pirates on this one! Well done!
Sharpe Dunaway
Hey, same here!
Yankee fan here, and I am doing the same!
Sharpe Dunaway yeaaa Cardinals!!
Respect +
Cardinals fan: These extra guys deserve the extra job for helping out on a windy rainy💨 🌧 day & doesn’t have to be paid for their help.
He got pummeled like it was an ocean wave. Really cool to see the players and staff go out there. Rare type of moment, everything is usually so orderly and goes as planned. It's interesting that chaos can actually ensue, and in this case, there were so many competent and good men around. Awesome.
Nice seeing humble players help
Nobody asked.
@@davidmccallum3950 ….read how long ago the comment was made
@@vlucas6134 5 years ago; so what?
Baseball is a sport of humility
I know nothing about baseball and just learned that they cover ground with a huge tarp because of rain, woah
Not all heroes wear a tarp
@Yankee Fan Not all schools have baseball/football/soccer (or honestly any sport except for basketball, volleyball, or badminton) since baseball needs a huge place just for this sport.
@Yankee Fan ah, I see. I'm from Turkey. I may have exaggerate a little about "not knowing anything about baseball" but the tarp thing was something I didn't think about because of the size. Yes, there is no baseball, american football or golf in schools here with some exceptions. It's a culture thing. Although football, basketball and volleyball is very common with a lot of other sports branches.
@Yankee Fan the reason I wrote that is the size of the tarp and efficiency of the process which I didn't think it's worth for because I see a lot of people handling bad weather conditions on other sports and that was a first one for me. But when I think of baseball I get it. Of course I know what a tarp might be used for but I didn't know what is the term tarp means in English before watching this video. I used internet and learned them all. The internet is an interesting place, you can encounter people from other cultures which don't know common things in others countries :)
@@mindtropy I don't find the tarp worth anything either. Other sport locations can handle really bad weather I don't know what makes baseball "more sensitive" to the weather where a tarp would be necessary 😅 maybe it's for the grass but then again don't they hire someone to maintain those anyway? A tarp seems really time consuming and inefficient. That's why our school has a roof over any sports location (unless they're not competing regionally/nationally and they're only doing it for a small school event)
Casually just pops up in recommended 4 years later
Your Google Home device must have noticed it was windy outside.

Players were so vigilant for the situation. This shows that we are all humans and we care about each other
Not all of us, that's extremely naive. You have to search hard to find people like that these days, don't believe what you see.
Most people do, some don’t though. I’d say it’s 80/20 there’s a genuine 20% out there that are selfish and lazy and narcissistic
I don't think a lot people realize that could be fatal. They're lucky they got that guy out of there when they did. It was dragging at least ten grown men when it first happened. That guy would be nothing against the tarp if it picked up enough air. He could get slammed into stuff pretty bad.
+Brianna Gordy
I'm not much of a baseball fan. Who are the Bucks
+drmayeda1 probably a abbreviation of bucaneers(other word for pirates)
+Brianna Gordy lol I seriously doubt that could end up fatal... I don't see the danger in that. Worst case scenario he goes flying around the diamond for a little bit. It's not like the wind would carry the tarp into the stands... it wasn't hurricane whether.
Tyler Livingston
A 70 mph wind is very strong. I was in a 50 mph wind and could barely stand straight. Getting hit by the edge of the tarp at that speed can be painful, or fatal. People have been killed hitting a solid surface at less than 1 mph
***** Well I seriously doubt that was 50 mph wind then because everyone seemed to be able to stand just fine. Also, considering the fact that everyone else was holding it and preventing the tarp from going all over the field, I don't see how he could have gotten hit by the edge of it.
And 1 mph??? haha what? Do you even understand how slow that is? That is basically zero momentum. I fail to see how anything that isn't a knife slowly digging into your stomach could kill anyone going 1mph towards someone...
I suddenly like the Pirates.
Coming from a diehard Red Sox fans, I kinda feel the same way rn.
Christopher Burns i only have a soft spot for the Pirates because one of their legendary players attended my high school back in the day.
Yay
What about Roberto Clemente? He died trying to give. Pirates fan, even though I'm from the Atl.
Christopher Burns good they are the best #Pittsburghstrong
Cutch has got to be one of my favorite players who has never been on a team I follow. love to see the class & respect on display
I will always be and Andrew McCutchen fan no matter where he plays
McCutchen seems very humble. I like him
Damn that tarp sure was hungry.
+Knight of TH-cam ikr
lol
Shoulda had a Snickers.
+Tornait the tarps not a it when it's hungry

I like seeing half a dozen pirate players out there helping their grounds crew, especially after watching that video of the Yankee grounds crew struggle with a tarp for 15 minutes and not a single yankee player coming out to help them.
I was waiting for this comment I kept scrolling and scrolling I was like is no one gona point that out
Yankees players…. Much like their fans…. Are arrogant drama queens that don’t want to break a nail
Well they get paid millions to play baseball not be groundscrew
Yankees too cute for that lmao
@@Matt-jf2ml their fans...yes nahh
How great it is to watch and see the players help.
Sorry if it sounds condescending but, "Dear MLB, please talk to an engineer." This wind and tarp problem materializes time and again all throughout the league, year after year. All that's needed is a large hole in the very middle of the tarp. The wind which gets under the tarp will just exit that hole, not at all affecting your effort to lay the tarp. Then once the tarp is down you go and place another tarp on top of that hole.
With winds that strong the tarp edges would still flap around and give you problems, hole or no hole.
Hence the tarp flew away before it was properly unpacked so a hole wouldn't have helped anyways.
In this specific situation at least.
@@dadaniel2k11 So what you meant to say is great idea, I mean, under other circumstances. Stroker.
I was at this game, that rain and wind was wicked! Love how the Bucs helped out.
Mccutchen is an awesome dude. He’s more than just baseball
Who else just had this pop up and realize how much you miss Cutch on this team?
Yes, same. I really hoped he would be able to defy the odds and spend his whole career in Pittsburgh. Not so much because of his play, I mean I think we got his best years play wise, but because he was just a great person and the type of guy you want to be a leader in the clubhouse. That's what I really miss.
@@steveg7066 I was a little bit of a bandwagon because of him I wont lie. I didnt know what it was like in Pittsburth before him, but Im guessing its very similar to what its like now and we are just missing that "GUY" on and off the field. Cutch is one of those playerss that I still root for and will until he retires
Nope don't even know him :P
Y’all can have em
Only you
good teamwork that sounds and seems scary and dangerous to be out doing that in that kind of weather thankfully that one coach was able to get out due to the players helping the grounds crew
I'm honestly still wondering who didn't weather delay that game long before the tarp had to come out. Those winds were nasty before a single drop of drizzle started.
@@connorryan9602 🤑
That just shows his character pitches in and helps not asked to just gets in there and gets it done . That’s a team of good guys .
Friend: ''What happened buddy?''
Ground crew member: ''Tarp swallowed me whole!''
Friend: (dafuq?!)
Lol
XD
Hope Rodrigues got his glove back. They were watching, saw the man eaten by the tarp - and he and McCutcheon went in to help. But there was already an umpire in there, first to see and grab the section of the tarp where the man was. Nice to see everyone recognize a potential tragedy before it got out of hand, and rush in to help get him out of there safely, then hold down the tarp. Wow.
Lol the fact the its raining and they are playing 'Singing in the Rain' 🤣
I remember watching this like it was just last night... Unreal how fast time has gone.
I don't see Greg Gibson, the home plate umpire, motioning to both players.
Dustin Pfarr I don't even see him helping with the tarp, or motioning to the Grounds Crew.
sm6175
lmao
***** Boom... He's a real doctor
Dustin Pfarr I also don't see the Dodgers celebrating in their dugout.
+Dustin Pfarr Well... I am a wizard from the future...
Tarps like "I'm hungry for some Groundscrew"!!!
Sportsdude 994 lol
says a lot about McCutchens character.
"Stay with us here on the weather channel." Lol! Epic.
The things that are possible when we all work together!
I thought the thumbnail was a giant-ass bird
This is why the Pirates are the best team! I didn't a single San Diego player try to help when 15+ pirates players came to help! I'm not dissing the Padres but giving the Pirates a thumbs up for doing what was right!
It's not the padres field..... they're not required to help....
Solerdude Well the Pirates players weren't "required" to help, but they still did. Nothing was stopping the Padres players from pitching in.
Tobin Zerby
It's different when it's not your field
Yea while they could've it's not their job and every stadium has a slightly different way of doing it and the pirates ran out cuz they saw someone was trapped which the padres may not have been able to see from the angle
of course a pirates fan says that. its there feild.
this is why the city of Pittsburgh is going to dearly miss Andrew McCutchen
Definitely much respect to those Pittsburgh Pirate players who stepped up to help it shows so much class.
Sincerely, Dodger fan.
Together we stand, divided we fall.
I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often with this tarp especially since PNC Park is open to the river and winds come in from the river constantly causing problems kudos to McCutcheon and the rest of the pirates for stepping in to help when there was a problem
The greatest accomplishment by the Pittsburgh Pirates in decades

PNC Park is a great park to visit. Really nice view of the skyline and some really good food, ice cream and milkshakes too.
Amazing amount of respect for these people🙌🏼✊🏼
really cool underappreciated moment
Hope Cutch has a monster season this year. I'm a Mets fan but have respected this gentleman the moment he hit the league.
Proud to see all the team work.
Great hero’s! Great job done! True characters came out in needs! Bravo! Some just stood there and watching!
Even the Pittsburgh Grounds Crew will miss Cutch!
Gotta love that guys are willing to be helpful. The real question is.. why don't they have carts to pull the tarp on the field and then park the carts on top of it to hold it down?
Because they don't want to mess up the field ding dong
Jay W lol
Cardinals have the carts and get the tarp on in minutes, then fix the field while it's being removed. It's very effective.
Ethan May two reasons here.
1. as Jay stated, they don't want to mess up the field any more than needed
2. if they drove a vehicle onto ant part of the tarp then it will damage the tarp itself, and those tarps are not cheap.
Battlefield Bill this isn't the Cardinals field. There's a reason PNC Park is top 3 in best fields every year. I work there and the way the take care of that field is crazy
Love their teamwork
Props to those who helped out. They saved that dudes life. Wonder how many were chilling in locker room laughing at the tarp blowing around 🙄

That's the beauty of baseball. The road to the majors is a very humbling experience and these players aren't divas because of it. Baseball is the sport for the blue collar guy and it shows with how these players carry themselves compared to athletes in other sports.
Even though I'm a diehard Cubs fan, Cutch has always been one of my favorite players.
Dude is a pro.
Agreed!
Talk about some down to earth players, many mlb players think of themselves higher than others. What a selfless act by some great players!
Birds on the roof: "foolish hoomans."
Greg Gibson motioned too strongly at the tarp
And the ground crew is cheering in their dugout
These players deserves respect.. kudos to you guys.. salute!!!
I've seen this in cricket players helping the grounds men. nice to see that some of this sports players have the same kind of ethos
Hard not to like Andrew McCutchen, stand up guy
It's funny how they said that San Diego doesn't need a tarp because the weather over there is so beautiful. 😂👌🏼☀️🏖
That is in Pittsburgh
all Major League Baseball stadiums have tarps
Now that is team work, the players going above and beyond.
Hats off to the players. I remember having to do this a lot in high school for our field. The wind def makes it hard to control.
If that guy wasn't walking on the tarp when it got let go of, they would've had an even bigger problem! I bet that did scare him a little though. Awesome to see people helping people. 👍
I shouldn’t of laughed when he got stuck in the tarp😂😂
You weren’t the only one lmaooo i feel bad 😂😂😂
Interesting watching this for the first time today, because I am a Phillies fan. Cutch plays for us now, and Hughes and Sean Rodriguez both did in the last 5 years.
I love 💗 when NFL and MLB players circle ⭕️ around teammates with injuries
This is "We Are Family" in action...

2:09 “Die, blanket of death!”
Impressive that the players helped, could have been a much worse situation. I applaud all grounds crew everywhere, each park around the leagues look great
True definition of teamwork
How many guys could it take to set up the trap when it rains

Wow.
That's terrifying.. Happy everyone pitched in and he got out..
