honestly, that grab and handoff is slick as fuck; it only took the runner a second to process "oh shit that's a scouting report", grab that shit while using his body to conceal his grabbing it, and then hand it off to the coach in a way that almost actually managed to conceal it from the camera; I'm sure that nobody on the field at that moment noticed what he did
He not lying when he says he knew it was the Jays' scouting report "a few seconds after" he picked it up. He knew it a few seconds before that too, but he also knew it a few seconds later.
That would be comical if that is what he said but it wasn't. You missed the key word 'realized', 'A couple of seconds after that realized it wasn't ours'.

With the amount of cameras, it is pretty much impossible to “be sneaky” about this. The Jays probably found out in a few minutes after finding it out it was missing. The hitter has to know this.
the teams in the game are blacked out from TV coverage, the ONLY footage they're allowed to have access to during the game is in the case of a replay review; all intel gathered in the course of the game is gathered by actual human lookouts stationed in allowable areas
Afterall, had Jays invested in better memory retention or equipment, maybe a rubber garbage can & hammer 🤨, they could have kept their secrets hidden & THIS would have never happened.🤓
@@Gravy_Jones22 They don't have to give warnings if they are "certain" it was deliberate. Now mind reading isn't a thing, so short of a pitcher actually admitting that it was deliberate, they're never going to be actually certain, so it actually means "very little doubt". I think we can all agree there's very little doubt here...
the horrible calls during the series that both him and kupla made behind the plate that always favoured the rays says otherwise. big part of the tension was because of it.
Danny Jansen, the catcher, didn't actually lose his secrets in the at bat where Borucki hit Kiermaier. He was trolling Kiermaier and had tossed his card down while he was at bat as if to say, "hey, why don't you grab this one too and pretend that it also is yours". Freaking hilarious!! 🤣
@@noahphillips9752 You don’t watch the Jays these days do you? Most of the time they are smiling and are able to shake shit off and having fun with their opponents Man shouldn’t have lied about taking the card any team would have thrown at him
@@Diamond-pg4kc If you saw his strike zone the night before this happened, you would not be saying that....balls inches off both sides of the plate called as strikes....balls right over the plate called balls....it was truly embarrassing, but I guess I can say "at least he was crap both ways"
imagine growing up loving baseball watching it and being so passionate about it you get the point where the announcers are talking about you? so freaking cool!
An underrated aspect of Jomboy's videos is how he doesn't shove his opinion in your face... he may state his take, but leave ultimate judgment up to the viewer. Respect.
Walker is the pitching coach. He's the genius behind Robbie Ray slashing his walk rate by just throwing fastballs at the middle of the zone, and turn into a Cy Young favorite.
He didn’t steal anything! The feeble minded Cather dropped it. Bench, Boone, Matheny, or Ausmus didn’t need flash cards they memorized that shit. If you gotta use cheat sheets keep up with the damn things.
@@astropastel Taking something that you know doesn't belong to you, and in fact you know belongs to someone or something else is the definition of stealing. Whether that something is easily accessible is irrelevant to whether or not it is stealing. It absolutely was.
In 1973 the Miami Dolphins were playing the Raiders at a neutral site in Berkeley California. Not sure why the game was moved. My guess it was because Berkeley held 10,000 more seats than the Oakland Colosseum. Anyway because of this both teams had to have their Saturday walkthrough at the stadium. The Raiders practiced first. When the Dolphins arrived, a staffer found a Raiders playbook complete with the game plan and the signal and audible key chart. The staffer took the book to Shula who never opened it and threw it away. The Dolphins lost that game. But later beat the Raiders in the AFC Championship Game. Just because something is not illegal doesn’t make it right. Kiermeier should have left the paper on the ground where he found it.
I like how Joe West was just like, "you gotta go." the chillest ejection I've ever seen I think lol. As for remember signs and whatnot, I know when I played there wasn't as much info given to us, but we went over that stuff every practice and every time before game, shit was engraved into our memory.
Yeah that’s the thing, you had to take note cards out there with you? Like you couldn’t see who was due up that inning and cram for the test while you’re chilling in the dugout?
howdareyou41 I feel like that’s going to be the norm going forward. It’s such a unique situation that I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t encoded. I’m not a Rays fan or a Blue Jays fan so I have no reason to take a side. But I just think this situation is so unique that I don’t really hold anything against Kiermaier for it. I think he could have chosen his words a little more wisely, but I don’t think anything less of him. Now that someone has done it, we know where the league stands.
@@grega490 Exactly. I usually just ask myself how I'd react if someone I liked did it, if a jay took the card I would support it. I wouldn't support lying about it though. I would hope they'd just say "of course we took it, we're trying to win, we think our fans will appreciate that" And if a jay took it and then lied about it, I'd expect him to get plunked.
As a Jays fan who hates Joe West, I’m thankful he did it calmly and not to make a big scene of it. His strike zone is horrible though. Probably a good thing he is retiring.
We’ve seen stuff like this before a few times and every time it is awesome. I think players should be allowed to own up to it like “Ya, I saw an opening and I took it” with no backlash. It builds rivalry and drama in a competitive way
That was a terrible reference. This is a baseball game. they are not fighting to save their country, protecting themselves from tyranny, or taking down evil.
"if it was that important to you guys you shouldn't have dropped it in the first place." honestly, it's pretty weak that teams are even allowed to bring these cards onto the field and if we're lucky, this incident would scare teams out of relying on them so much. But as it is, I like that the advantage of having them can be offset by the risk of it falling into enemy hands like this.
The jays should make fake cards they could intentionally drop next time. If the opportunity to psyche the other team out or just trolling to get in their heads.

So glad to see Jomboy getting such massive attention. Started watching him about a year before the Astros scandal and I love seeing him get the credit he deserves.
Jomboy is the only baseball media I watch. I live in France, I have time for base ball games but damn a real story about stealing the plans, with lots of cameras on the thief while someone try’s to lip read it and explain it is great entertainment.
Wish he would’ve just owned that he swiped the scouting report. Been like “hey, i didn’t break into anywhere, didn’t reach into his arm band to grab it. It was on the ground, i picked it up. Any guy on the blue jays wouldve done the same thing. Don’t want me to grab the scouting report? Secure it better.”
Yea I mean it's not a big deal why not just own it. Any team worth half a damn does their own scouting reports on their own team to begin with so vast majority of that info is probably useless anyways. As isn't all that's really on that sheet is just what pitches a guy does or doesn't hit well and what locations he hits the ball well in and what locations he doesn't. So I'm pretty sure every team in the league already has that info on their own players seeing how you can just go to a shit ton of websites and find such info without even having to do any work yourself. So if that sheet says hey this player can't fastballs up in the zone. Then knowing that fact isn't gonna help them any bit as he already knows he struggles to do just that so knowing a team is gonna try and throw fastballs up in the zone isn't gonna help him at all. Same if a certain hitter struggles to hit or lay off breaking pitches. That is info they already know so learning the other teams know such a thing isn't magically gonna make them a better hitter on breaking balls or help them to layoff them.
Yeah the "I didn't look at it" is BS and such a red herring. Of course he didn't, he gave it to the manager/coaches who would then decide how to use it. "I thought it was mine" yeah ok guy I'm thinking he got plunked for not owning up to it, not for taking it.
Yeah I mean when I saw this happen before he said anything on the matter I thought “what’s the big deal?”. I think the real crime was how he handled it after. If he chose his words wisely he may have not gotten drilled in the back. What rubbed me off the wrong way was when he said “I’m over it.” He’s the one who did something he probably shouldn’t have done. Why is he acting like the victim? What is there for him to get over? If that particular quote played any role in the decision to drill him then I can’t really blame the Blue Jays for that.
I don’t have an issue with picking up the scouting report. I don’t have an issue with not giving it back. I don’t have a problem with K getting hit. I don’t have a problem with the pitcher getting tossed. I do have a problem with K lying about picking up the paper.
@@fergizzo How about the catcher actual do some homework ahead of time and not need a crib sheet? You need a paper wrist band because you didn’t do the work to know your opponent, you better take damn good care of it. Absolutely nothing wrong with what K did. Who give a $@&$/ about his explanation-irrelevant.
@@fergizzo ideally u should give it back as a sign of respect for coach to coach. But in reality, that card was already seen by everyone and they could’ve easily taken pictures of it. The Jays prolly just asked for it back either because it was in the heat of the moment, or to see how respectful the Rays were.
As a jays fan, thank you! Insane you got a shout out from the commentators, congrats, I think you are single handedly bringing some entertainment back to baseball!
I am the same. Think it was emplemon doing the clutch video that sent a bunch of mlb stuff into my feed and I've been enjoying the metagaming, politics, beefs and secret rules of baseball. It's seems very much, that the main game is only 10% of what's actually going on.
About time Jomboy gets the respect he deserves from broadcasters. I don't even follow the sport except for this channel! You make the game way more interesting, at least in my opinion.
I love that you are getting famous on a good reputation. Everyone nowadays try to get somewhere off of nothing. You do what you do so well that there is no comparison. I've been watching you for a long time and since then I've heard you're name everywhere. Love it bro. Keep it up!
When did the Jays realize the scouting report was gone? Kirk didn't seem like he knew when he took that glance. . . I would not like to've been in that dugout when the catcher told his coach he lost his super secret bit of paper. . .
Dont know for sure but I would imagine the next time the catcher needed to look at them so the next batter they faced he would look and not see anything there lol
Pete Walker is the Jays longtime pitching coach...often regarded as one of the better pitching coaches in the game, using examples like Robbie Ray and J.A. Happ as some of his best work.
@Big Al Walker was also venting his frustrations on the umpires for their atrocious strike zone all series long, because Montoyo is too nice to actually stick up for his own players when they're getting dicked around. Fuck Joe West and his shitty crew.
Jomboy, you have made me a subscriber of your channel. i'm not much of a baseball fan but you make me want to be interested in it. i love the way you break it down, adding your touch of brilliance and wit to these analyses. i'm a growing fan of your content, keep it up Jomboy

THIS. He knew he did wrong or why lie about it? He could say, “Fuck your old fashioned sportsmanship, I do this for money.” I could at least respect that. What a piece of shit.
@UCERGWhrfNxqB4hCKDkyOdSA But he lied about not knowing what it was, thinking it was his, after he stared at it on the ground, two feet from his face. That’s not owning it. That’s not telling the truth.

With the amount of cameras, it is pretty much impossible to “be sneaky” about this. The Jays probably found out in a few minutes after finding it out it was missing. The hitter has to know this.
He did as best he could to conceal the handoff. Pretty slick

The craziest part of this whole thing is that Joe West and his crew actually handled a situation right for once. I’ve seen it all
Joe West isn't a bad umpire when he's not emotional.
Except warnings were never given out
@@Gravy_Jones22 They don't have to give warnings if they are "certain" it was deliberate. Now mind reading isn't a thing, so short of a pitcher actually admitting that it was deliberate, they're never going to be actually certain, so it actually means "very little doubt". I think we can all agree there's very little doubt here...
LOL for sure!
the horrible calls during the series that both him and kupla made behind the plate that always favoured the rays says otherwise. big part of the tension was because of it.
Danny Jansen, the catcher, didn't actually lose his secrets in the at bat where Borucki hit Kiermaier. He was trolling Kiermaier and had tossed his card down while he was at bat as if to say, "hey, why don't you grab this one too and pretend that it also is yours". Freaking hilarious!! 🤣

This is fantastic. Imagine an NFL defensive coordinator dropping his playbook on the opposing QBs lap.
Hey! Give it back!
fight immediately
“What playbook? I don’t know what you’re talking about”
In 1973 the Miami Dolphins were playing the Raiders at a neutral site in Berkeley California. Not sure why the game was moved. My guess it was because Berkeley held 10,000 more seats than the Oakland Colosseum. Anyway because of this both teams had to have their Saturday walkthrough at the stadium. The Raiders practiced first. When the Dolphins arrived, a staffer found a Raiders playbook complete with the game plan and the signal and audible key chart. The staffer took the book to Shula who never opened it and threw it away. The Dolphins lost that game. But later beat the Raiders in the AFC Championship Game. Just because something is not illegal doesn’t make it right. Kiermeier should have left the paper on the ground where he found it.
Or better, you have the whole book of plays, taking the Head Coach. SB XXXVII Oakland vs Tampa Bay.
This pretty much happened with Tre’Davius White trying to read the Ravens offensive scheme that blew onto the field.
The fact that the catcher dropped it again on this is just... *MWAH*. Chef's kiss.

All these blue Jays fans being ass ravaged because they couldn't afford a staple
I have goosebumps when announcers called out "Jomboy" if how our man dissect this game.. Proud of you man 💪😎
I like how Joe West was just like, "you gotta go." the chillest ejection I've ever seen I think lol. As for remember signs and whatnot, I know when I played there wasn't as much info given to us, but we went over that stuff every practice and every time before game, shit was engraved into our memory.
Yeah that’s the thing, you had to take note cards out there with you? Like you couldn’t see who was due up that inning and cram for the test while you’re chilling in the dugout?
these "data cards" should be encoded, just like giving signs, why wouldn't it be coded on the card?
howdareyou41 I feel like that’s going to be the norm going forward. It’s such a unique situation that I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t encoded. I’m not a Rays fan or a Blue Jays fan so I have no reason to take a side. But I just think this situation is so unique that I don’t really hold anything against Kiermaier for it. I think he could have chosen his words a little more wisely, but I don’t think anything less of him. Now that someone has done it, we know where the league stands.
@@grega490 Exactly. I usually just ask myself how I'd react if someone I liked did it, if a jay took the card I would support it. I wouldn't support lying about it though. I would hope they'd just say "of course we took it, we're trying to win, we think our fans will appreciate that" And if a jay took it and then lied about it, I'd expect him to get plunked.
As a Jays fan who hates Joe West, I’m thankful he did it calmly and not to make a big scene of it. His strike zone is horrible though. Probably a good thing he is retiring.
We’ve seen stuff like this before a few times and every time it is awesome. I think players should be allowed to own up to it like “Ya, I saw an opening and I took it” with no backlash. It builds rivalry and drama in a competitive way
Jomboy casually dropping Antietam references and I’m all for it
That was a terrible reference. This is a baseball game. they are not fighting to save their country, protecting themselves from tyranny, or taking down evil.
That was a perfect reference
@@quasidiem99 what a guy😂😂i loved the reference
It woulda been better if he woulda just said “hell ya I took the scouting report. Wouldn’t you?”
Yup and if the pitcher who threw at him would’ve said “No it didn’t get away from me I hit your bitch ass on purpose” lol
"if it was that important to you guys you shouldn't have dropped it in the first place."
honestly, it's pretty weak that teams are even allowed to bring these cards onto the field and if we're lucky, this incident would scare teams out of relying on them so much. But as it is, I like that the advantage of having them can be offset by the risk of it falling into enemy hands like this.
@@mannylora hes a pussy for hitting him though

So glad to see Jomboy getting such massive attention. Started watching him about a year before the Astros scandal and I love seeing him get the credit he deserves.
I found him during and need to go back before i found him so i can like them all
I think I've been watching since the brawl between my Tigers and the Yankees
Jomboy is the only baseball media I watch. I live in France, I have time for base ball games but damn a real story about stealing the plans, with lots of cameras on the thief while someone try’s to lip read it and explain it is great entertainment.
The fact that those announcers named dropped Jomboy is GOATED and proves we need Jomboy to be a baseball announcer
He is good where he is.
I think we need to get Jomboy his own ESPN or SportsCenter series. Like a half hour Weekly wrap up show.
@@ThamesCentrePhotography Half hour? He should be ESPN. Just hand the network over to him because Disney it’s killing sports
I'm against this because then he doesn't get to drop all the f-bombs from the lip reading. I will say, however, that no other word looks like "fuck."
That 7 minute video truly felt like 2 minutes huge props to everyone involved especially the umpires
Wish he would’ve just owned that he swiped the scouting report. Been like “hey, i didn’t break into anywhere, didn’t reach into his arm band to grab it. It was on the ground, i picked it up. Any guy on the blue jays wouldve done the same thing. Don’t want me to grab the scouting report? Secure it better.”
Yea I mean it's not a big deal why not just own it. Any team worth half a damn does their own scouting reports on their own team to begin with so vast majority of that info is probably useless anyways. As isn't all that's really on that sheet is just what pitches a guy does or doesn't hit well and what locations he hits the ball well in and what locations he doesn't. So I'm pretty sure every team in the league already has that info on their own players seeing how you can just go to a shit ton of websites and find such info without even having to do any work yourself. So if that sheet says hey this player can't fastballs up in the zone. Then knowing that fact isn't gonna help them any bit as he already knows he struggles to do just that so knowing a team is gonna try and throw fastballs up in the zone isn't gonna help him at all. Same if a certain hitter struggles to hit or lay off breaking pitches. That is info they already know so learning the other teams know such a thing isn't magically gonna make them a better hitter on breaking balls or help them to layoff them.
Literally dropped IN HIS LAP
I don't agree with all of this, I would have liked him growing a pair when asked about it though.
Yeah the "I didn't look at it" is BS and such a red herring. Of course he didn't, he gave it to the manager/coaches who would then decide how to use it. "I thought it was mine" yeah ok guy I'm thinking he got plunked for not owning up to it, not for taking it.
Yeah I mean when I saw this happen before he said anything on the matter I thought “what’s the big deal?”. I think the real crime was how he handled it after. If he chose his words wisely he may have not gotten drilled in the back. What rubbed me off the wrong way was when he said “I’m over it.” He’s the one who did something he probably shouldn’t have done. Why is he acting like the victim? What is there for him to get over? If that particular quote played any role in the decision to drill him then I can’t really blame the Blue Jays for that.

I don’t have an issue with picking up the scouting report. I don’t have an issue with not giving it back. I don’t have a problem with K getting hit. I don’t have a problem with the pitcher getting tossed. I do have a problem with K lying about picking up the paper.

@@fergizzo ideally u should give it back as a sign of respect for coach to coach. But in reality, that card was already seen by everyone and they could’ve easily taken pictures of it.
