I love the Ballpark in Arlington, it’s still a gorgeous stadium in my opinion. But it was always a mistake to make it an open air stadium. Forget about thunderstorms, it gets awfully hot in Texas during the majority of the baseball season, even at night. I always said it was the perfect stadium for a northern sports city.
Speaking of awfully hot in Texas, college stadiums are always open face. The University of Texas definitely has the funds if they wanted to have a covered stadium, but there's too much tradition associated with DKR. The side effect; it's still topping 100 degrees in September. That's when the Horns are playing their cupcake games. Tickets in the upper bowl are literally 90% cheaper than usual, lol.
Ummmmmmmmmm the first clip wasnt a delay ,its a mets tradition called stolen bases where in between an inning they have someone come onto the field and try to run accross the field and get a base as fast as possible
@@rksr7026 Usually it’s not supposed to happen. They have a kid run on the right field wall to collect a base against a timer, not run onto the field to get a base. So that’s why he probably got confused.
The longest game delay I’ve seen was a Mets/Marlins game the first year the Marlins started. It was in the evening in Miami when it rains every night in the summer. The ground crew had a one piece tarp that covered the entire infield and when it started to rain they unrolled this tarp and about 8 guys tried walking it from right field to cover the infield. The rain was coming down hard and the surface area of this tarp held a lot of water so by the time they go to the mud between 1st and 2nd base they got bogged down so they tried it again and got more guys. They failed again. This time they got more guys, took the tarp to center field and angled it so when they ran in they could just be done. It looked like Pickett’s Last Charge with 50 men running this tarp to cover a swamp of an infield after 40 minutes of a South Florida downpour but they got it covered! Five minutes later it stopped raining and they removed the tarp and it took over an hour to fix the infield! It’s been almost 2 hours and the game resumes and after the first pitch the catcher goes to the mound to talk about the signals! 😂😂😂
as long as the ground isn’t wet it’s best to get as low as possible if you feel tingly and your hair stands on end . but if it’s wet the electricity can move through the water and get you
Years ago I remember a center fielder that ran into the dugout in record time after a thunderclap! The inning was still in process and his manager sent him right out there again. 😂
I'm surprised you didn't show the Battle of The Bays when they had the big earthquake at Candlestick Park. Game 1 of the world series between the Oakland A's and the San Francisco Giants
They told him to steal the base in front of the cheerleaders. After some quick math the kid went to 2nd base first. Which made the base in front of the cheerleaders 3rd. Which made the cheerleaders "home."
That lightening charge was right over their heads. In that moment, everything stops. even you. Look at the pitcher in that moment & and tell me he didnt fart.
Great Jose Altuve showing a little kid how to steal. I’ve always wondered what his kids are gonna think of him when they start hearing the rumors as they get older about his involvement with dishonesty.
Um, I made a comment earlier tonight that, I guess, went out over the air that I am deeply ashamed of. If I have hurt anyone out there, I can't tell you how much I say, from the bottom of my heart, I'm so very, very, sorry. I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4-0 ballgame. I don't know if I'm gonna be putting on this headset again.
i was at a game in Philly at Vets stadium when a severe thunderstorm hit and lightening hit the flag in CF at the top of the stadium scared the crap outta most that were there . was far away from us but i’m sure some fans had brown pants
No it's not a balk is when: Balk Rules 1) You can't just be up there and just doin' a balk like that. 1a. A balk is when you 1b. Okay well listen. A balk is when you balk the 1c. Let me start over 1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can't do that. 1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can't be over here and say to the runner, like, "I'm gonna get ya! I'm gonna tag you out! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even do that. 1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to pitch and then don't pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense? 1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it. 1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the ball up here, like this, but then there's the balk you gotta think about. 1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Balk hasn't been in any movies in forever.

Put yourself in a kid’s shoes. If you were in a Major League Baseball game. Around 40,000 people. With big league players you would think it would be cool, but probably overwhelmed and nervous like fuck. Of course even more so than someone making their rookie debut. So, yes a kid needs assistance. They are indeed a kid. After they steal they might not know which gate to go to next. Or where their parents are. Adults… you just don’t know with them. There are some crazy ones out there.
As someone who grew up in Tennessee, it makes me laugh when people are scared of lightning. There are so many storms in the Spring time here that we are used to it. If I'm 50 years old and I literally only know 1 person who has been struck by lightning, I don't think there's that much danger...
1:30 Really? They needed the fire company? They could have gotten five drunk fans together and put it out with their beer, which they would have been more than happy to do, o long as their $8 beer was refilled.
@@deew_knird_reeb_ekomS Incorrect. Lightning strikes the path that gives it the least resistance to ground. That's why lightning rods actually work, if what you said were true they'd be useless.
@@snap-off5383 you are correct that lightning strikes a given path of least resistance in a given moment of time. But that doesn't mean that lightning necessarily always follows such principles, nor does it mean that high up objects are the path of least resistance 100% of the time. Physics is very complicated and there are plenty of factors that can change where the lightning strikes. It is incredibly unlikely for lightning to strike the field, but it's not impossible which is it's ill advised to play outside during a thunderstorm and why and all major league sports who operate in outdoor venues tend to stop play for a thunder storm. Many an unfortunate victim thought they'd never be struck by lightning for xyz, and thus lightning became the leading killer among all meteorological phenomenon. If Lightning never struck the field like you say, then pro leagues wouldn't stop play. Why would a pro league stop play if there was no threat at all? Delays lead to worse tv ratings, people leaving early, and overall less money for the league. No one wants delays not fans and not sports leagues. There is a reason the NFL played in extreme dangerous cold conditions but would not play in a thunderstorm. If you say it's to protect the fans, then I would point again to the recent Chiefs-Dolphins NFL playoff game played in the extreme cold. It's been reported that many fans suffered extreme frostbite and may need amputations. Clearly the NFL was fine playing a game even in conditions that posed extreme risk to the fans, but a thunderstorm also poses risk to the players and team officials so when it thunderstorms, the NFL undergoes it's weather delay protocol. Even if you want to say that its the NFL and not MLB, my point is simply that the actions of the NFL treating an extreme cold weather game vs a thunderstorm game clearly show the risk of lightning striking players or other people on the field is real enough to warrant suspending play. Overall Lightning Accidents have happened a lot and there is no fool proof way to prevent lightning strikes even with a bunch of lightning rods or high up structures around a person. You can reduce the risk but not prevent it entirely. As long as a person is outside while it is thunder storming, or even if there is a thunderstorm miles away, they remain a potential conducting path for the lightning to strike at.
That lightning… players were like “screw that”
Wasn’t it thunder that caused the scare?
@@drewzalowell yeah. Thunder is the sound of lightning.
And they be like NO MAS!
I thought it was gun shots
0:34 the fact that the camera glitches milliseconds before the loud bang is incredibly chilling
Loud bang💀 totally not lightning or thunder
Lol nice
Yeah it’s a build up of electrical particles in the air before the thunder/lightning strikes, if I remember correctly.
There's a delay on the feed, the lightning strike interfered with the broadcast itself.
Now we know why the Rangers literally never open the roof anymore
That 2nd one was insane!!!!! LOL
Nothing like a Texas thunderstorm!

Willingham(?) had the correct response. If you're about to get hit by lightning, you have a better chance of survival by getting down on all fours.

0:34 - Thought it was a new clearer signal for batter, then I saw it wasn't a Thrastros game.
The lightning had already struck way before you heard it. So taking cover won't do much good.
Ever consider that it could happen again?
I couldn’t tell the difference between that kid and Altuve
God dogs at a baseball game Rediculous
bark at the park promotions ugh , i’m a cat person . i wish i had gone when grumpy cat was at a dbacks game
Why was that kid the same size as Altuve
