“The next half of this video is just Max Scherzer being a psycho” that’s a great line lol
I'd be ok if it was the entire video
It's fitting too coz his eyes are unique. U would be scared if he stares at u. I think he is one if not the best pitcher. I think he used to throw like 103 mph
My fav TH-cam video right now no lie th-cam.com/video/kPznVA-yANk/w-d-xo.html
A true psycho wouldn’t get a rush from winning a playoff game. He’d probably be bored stiff.
@@derrickrr5516 psychopaths thrive on narcissism, I'd think winning a game would be something one would celebrate
Me, a Braves fan: “Thank God Scherzer moved out to LA, we won’t have to hit against that lunatic so often”
NLCS: “Lol bitch you thought”
*As you hear psycho laughter*
Still in same League.
The braves get to get their revenge in now
@@kelpsquad9017
Revenge you say? Junior please, the Braves are an Atlanta team. Just like the Falcons they will choke or flat out dissapear all together. Sports for Atlanta are terrible in big time moments. History has shown that.
@@lastofus35 And a couple of minutes ago I was defending a giants fan from a smug dodgers fan, but now wished I hadn’t. Y’all get treated bad by dodgers fans but I see a lot of giants fans like you are just like dodgers fans. My Braves will prove you and all the smug fans wrong.
When Scherzer hugged the catcher it looked like a vampire biting into a victim
Are you saying the dodgers suck?
@@jeffmoore3449 why tf would he be saying that..
@Ben Norton that is funny, but i think he was speaking metaphorically.
@@KTRFP because vampires suck blood and they're dodgers. Maybe it's my humor that sucks
"He's like a raptor" is the greatest analogy I've ever heard
I’m convinced the ump locked eyes with Max before making the call and realized what would happen to him if he didn’t call the swing
alright, this legit made me laugh
LMAOOOO!!!!
😂😂😂😂
YAWN ! so Maxx would have beat him up huh ?
"You know what to do, blue" 👹
i love how Jomboy always zooms in on Kershaw's mouth
Kinda makes you wonder, huh?
I hate that actually…
@@TERoss-jk9ny makes you wonder if he did some mushrooms
1:20
So do the other dodger players. Boy's got a pretty mouth.
As a Giants fan, I'm still honored by the Giants season; no one even picked them to win the NL West Division against a stacked Dodgers and Padres teams, let alone make the playoffs or even have the most wins in the MLB regular season.
I will never forget all of the incredible things The Giants did this season. It was one hell of a ride!
Future looks good for the Giants. Farms getting better (we didn't lose much to get Bryant for the year), we are shedding older contracts, coaches are really pushing the vets to perform at their peak, FO is top tier. Giants will likely be a force for years to come as they start to get younger and better. Sad way to end this season, but knowing our offseason is going to be opportunistic for the Giants gets me amped for 2022 and beyond.
Post season really matters, and you only won the regular season by a game lol but whatever makes you sleep at night lol
@@Slenderirl Sure postseason matters only if you win the championship, like how the Dodgers won 8 straight division titles and made the playoffs and only captured one championship in a shortened season. I said in my previous comment that no one, including most Giants fans, expected this kind of season from the Giants.
As a Dodgers fan, you guys absolutely dominated this season. The game shouldn’t have ended that way tbh, even i knew it was bullshit. The MLB needs to get new umpires, cuz these guys are blind asf
You had me laughing out loud when you were talking about Scherzer looking like a raptor. He was in a animalistic mindset. I just imagine his whole body being completely stiff during post game celebration with his teammates. That dude was in his his own zone.
Scherzer made it clear to his teammates that he absolutely did not want to have them celebrate every minor victory he had, and they respected that. I'm guessing at some point he either said or was asked, "when was it OK to celebrate", and this was one of those instances. Of course Max Scherzer goes 200% at celebrating - anything he decides to do, he's full send.
Fuck yeah!!!!! I love seeing Mad Max in blue!
Of course, he probably thought the one title he won in Washington was going to end up being his only one. So now he's feeling like he has a good shot at another.
I think Scherzer is just glad to be heading to the NLCS instead of being at home because the nationals have been sitting in last place again
You'll know he's ready to celebrate when he doesn't stop screaming for a 3 count.
Meth Scherzer
Max Scherzer looks like the perfect casting, for “the mean drunk” in any movie.
Or the best pitcher EVER!0
@@ClitRubbs ever?😂
Max Scherzer looks like he takes girls home from the bar and spits his chewing tobacco into their hair while he's behind them.
He’d slide into an episode of Shameless pretty easily
He looks like Sea Bass from dumb and dumber
I love when Jomboy does the lip reading. That shit is hilarious!
I can't say that I've laughed harder out loud at a youtube video, than this amazing breakdown of Scherzer losing his mind, with commentary. The best.
Scherzer looks like a 40 y.o meth head who works at goodwill
Some might say this is a breakdown of Scherzer losing his mind, others might say it's a breakdown of one of the most painful moments in their sporting history. Wish I saw it your way. Genuinely
Then scherzer was back out on the field shirtless after the game drunk again. He is a psycho but damn I love him
Channeling his inner J.R. Smith
was he drunk again???? Max is a beast!!!!°
I would love to see that footage
Jomboy’s breakdown of Scherzer going crazy was the best
I haven't laughed that hard by myself in a long time XD XD I was crying bro
@@kilsonx8262 same
You are certainly not kidding. I could watch that part all day and the hilarity wouldn’t even fade slightly.
@@kilsonx8262 i was literally crying bro🤣🤣 “now he’s just gonna hug everyone with a lot of power, a lot of force, hurts that guys hand, hugs this random guy” oh man 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Get away from me"
Sucks to have my Giants end like this, but I'm proud of them for their energy and strength to get us here. SF Giants forever!
It’s an odd year. They are not allowed to win.
@@choreomaniac Yup...
As a Dodger fan I can appreciate ur attitude. They were a tough team this year. So many comebacks the last couple months of the season when the Dodgers were trying to catch them.
@@tbone2071 As disappointed as I am, the back and forth fight for the finish line between the Giants and the Dodgers was amazing to watch. It made mlb exciting for me which hasn't happened in a few years
@@AndrewIGoode 100% correct
Classic! Watching this two years later. Jomboy really hasn't changed.
“Big let’s go fest, the biggest we’ve had.” Lol
LETTSSS FUUUCKINNN GOOOOO
Absolutely
Lets Go!
Either way, hopefully this is a new era to the Giants-Dodgers rivalry. Probably won’t have both teams winning 100+ games next year, but maybe they face off in the playoffs again.
I honestly don't know what's more likely.. both teams winning a 100+ games again or they meet again. I suppose it's reasonable to suppose they will meet if they both win 100... but there is that wildcard game which in this case the Dodgers just barely squeaked by.
prob not, when was the last time Giants won 100W?
@King Yellowman didn’t know the dodgers were eliminated from playing baseball after that…
@@lcglazer 2003
I mean i think their rivalry existed within last decade one team had a dynasty, while the other struggled in the playoffs.
This is what ESPN back in the day felt like but could still never make sports clips this fun! Well done JOMBOYYY 👏🤟
Even though I was pissed about the call, I love Max so seeing him so fucking stoked was great
Ump: I don’t have the benefit of multiple camera angles when I’m watching it live unlike in the replays
MLB: call is non reviewable
It’s like they want people to hate their umpires for calls they get wrong that could be easily reversed with replay.
@@Troutprophet this
So then don't make a call you're not sure about in such an important moment.
@@Troutprophet Except I don't think this is a call that can be easily reversed on a replay. There is nothing in the rulebook that defines what a swing is. It's purely a judgment call by the umpire on whether the batter attempted at the pitch. That's the only thing that defines what a swing is. How could replay overturn such a call?
The umps fucking hate replay...sensitive ego. It would be better to concede that one fucked up the call, but the MLB will also except excuses as penance.
I love how scherzer is just a psycho, or at least I love that Jomboy calls him a psycho. Scherzer is great.
I don't know, seems like if he wasn't a professional baseball player and was just some guy who screams at you for talking to him at work, you wouldn't think he was great. I don't get the appeal, but he's good at baseball, I'll give him that.
th-cam.com/video/BsINY1-d4Kg/w-d-xo.html this is the vid he’s referring to
Scherzer is the reason I watch Jomboy ;)
@@Kshea44ify
YOOOO! Apple friend! I don't know, I just think it's interesting is all. I couldn't give you a simple reason, it's like trying to explain how humor works... not easy.
@@the_Jdawg88
also, I can confirm that this is not weird shit, it's just a cool vid about Scherzer
In retrospect, maybe they shouldn't have used Max so much
"You can't say he wasn't ready". Well, not for a few games anyway.
Never did the thought of "Is Gavin Lux #RomanReady?" cross my mind until this video... Thanks Jimmy. Also Belli had such a great postgame answer to being asked if Flores went around... "I was in Centerfield, I didn't see it."
As a Giants fan watching this last inning live, my soul crumbled
As a jomboy fan... #firejake
I’m glad. RIP Giants.
I’ve been crying throughout the day it’s horrible
Apollo, as a Dodger fan, nothing but mad props to the Giants. They damn near caught everything hit their way. Webb is a absolute filthy throwing stud of a pitcher. As a fan of good baseball, the Giants earned a seat at the table.. See you next season.
@@majorhavik395 hell yeah, no toxic shit at all. Best of luck to you guys, that was a hell of a series
My favorite was Turner's face. Laughing at Max.
He’s like “Yep that’s about right!” 🤣🤣
lol i think trea is used to it
made me giggle
Turner should be happy. His error set it up
@@ronvitug4641 wrong turner
Trea Turner's face tho when Scherzer was screaming😂😂😂
Watching the end of the game on tv I thought for a moment that Scherzy was going to eat or at the very least take a huge bite out of Will Smith when he was walking towards him 😂
Right??? I got so scared for Smith because he’s very calm most of the time. I thought he was gonna take him down lmaoo
@@toritennant 😂
Random Dodger: “Oh yeah I’ll get involved”
Max; “no, get away from me”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Max: Who are you no
"The last half of this video is just Scherzer being a psychopath"
Did he lie
No lies detected 😂
@@WyJay123 😂
I'm still angry the final game of Buster Poseys career ended like this
I'm not a big baseball fan, but I get a little excited when the postseason comes around! Packed stadiums makes for an awesome atmosphere!
Point made fucko
Imagine eating breakfast with Scherzer. That has to be the most intense eating ever.
And he didn't even tasted the coffee.
"At the Waffle House with Max."
I'm pretty sure prison meals in general population are less intense
I've heard he's a pretty chill dude most days just not on the days he pitches
I'm picturing Cheerios and milk dripping out of his mouth while he smiles at me with his multicolored eyes wide open
Most MLB thing ever to have such a great series end on a blown call
Lol...ask the 85 Cardinals
Wilmer was 0-17 vs Scherzer in his career... He would of struck out anyways... Blown call or not 🤡
@@christopherniceley8848 what about the walk that was denied to Bryant in the bottom if the 4th? That was also a clearly terrible call, and would have given the Giants two men on, no outs-and more than likely led to a run. Definitely would have changed the game.
@UCSN402_IQwAZyQ1kbpcWXTQ sdon’t mean shit, could’ve been 1-18 after that ab
@@christopherniceley8848 What a stupid way to think wow, the only clown is you wow.
I’m a giants fan but in this last series their lack of offense is what led to their loss to the Dodgers, not one bad call from an ump.
Yea. The team that we all thought we had before the season started is who showed up for this game.
Thank you finally a giants fan who can recognize that u guys had no chance even with the bad call
im also a giants fan. the issue isnt that the ump caused us to lose, its that he took the bat out of our hands and the ball out of sherzers hand with that terrible call. umps seemed to be giving their pitchers favorable calls all series as well but that’s a different issue
@@MacLaw3084 as a dodger fan I must say that u have to acknowledge the fact that neither team had a great hitting series but u can’t even say that Flores would have gotten a hit off of scherzer with 2 outs and 2 strikes already bad call or not the series was over already u guys just couldn’t find ur bats on that last game
🏆 for 100% correct. Not one pitch.
Lol see ya next year...
That was an awesome break down! Had me cracking up!
i usually get excited when i see the Giants in Jomboy breakdowns but this one is just bringing back my sports depression 😖
Sad GIANTS are gone being a Yankees fan is rougher now for me
Try being a MN sports fan...
All, be an A's fan and not.a.swing.
@@jordanlaine7412 the wild aren't bad, they won tonight
i feel depressed too :(
One of the many instances where we’ll never know if the outcome would’ve been different had the correct call been made. Even if Wilmer struck out on the next pitch, it wouldn’t have felt as bad as this one. It really sucks that the Giants season had to end on a shitty strike call for the 2nd consecutive year
Tbh it's likely he would've struck. That straight down the middle must ve messed with him. Would've thought that was his chance
@@fazecrazy6266 we will never know for sure. Too many other variables. He could’ve gotten lucky and finally get a hit. Could’ve been walked. Could’ve been hit by pitch. But it is what it is.
Yeah honestly if Wilmer struck out honestly, this wouldn’t be anything. The Giants stranded like 20 runners on base in these 5 games. Wilmer’s at-bat isn’t why they lost, but it’s what will be remembered.
@@fazecrazy6266 That's not the point and not the spirit of baseball. For example, in a hypothetical, alternate universe, people like you would have said the same thing to the 2011 Cardinals if a similar call was made in game 6 before David Freese walks it off
Sure Wilmer probably would have got out, but the beauty of baseball is that maybe he finally beats Scherzer and crushes one 450 feet dead center. But we'll never know
Bryant 5 balls in first inning resulting in a strikeout is another major turning point. Ump card had the game +.68 runs, meaning in theory dodgers won 2 to 1.68.
Bro being an Aussie awesome break down and awesome commentary you have a new subscriber thanks mate 👍👍👍
i’m not kidding this the hardest i’ve ever laughed at one of ur videos and i’ve watched A LOT of ur videos
Crazy these teams played 24 times. Split it and it all came down to one run in the very last inning
$o $urprised to $ee the team from LA get call$
@@SpicyTrifongo On July 22, the Dodgers, were up 3-2 with two out in the ninth inning. Kenley Jansen threw a full count pitch with the bases loaded. Darin Ruf tried to hold up his swing but clearly went around. That was a 3-2 pitch with the bases loaded. If it’s a swing and a miss on a Kenley Jansen throw, it’s game over and the Dodgers get a huge win as they chase the Giants in the tight NL West. First-base umpire Ed Hickok said he did not swing. Tying run walked home. The Giants eventually won the game 5-3.
@@papadopp3870 Yea I watched that game.
That was a makeup call for the blown strike call before that.
Look I don't expect a lot out of the denizens of Los Angeles or Dodger fans in particular, but that ain't it. Not even close to comparable, for multiple reasons.
It didn't end the game, it didn't end the season, and the dodgers had a chance to win it after the call was made.
Brilliant comparison otherwise, yes they were both baseball games.
@@SpicyTrifongo Its not like the Giants are the Pirates or Marlins.
@@SpicyTrifongo who cares giants werent winning that game regardless. ill be very surprised if anyone but the astros beat the dodgers
MLB looks really good when the first base umpire basically says he was guessing. Catchers are going to ask for appeals on anything that looks remotely close to a swing and just hope that the umpire gets the wrong call.
As they should now. If I knew my sports governing body was this retarded, I'd play them for the fools they are too.
Not much different than catchers framing pitches. If you can nudge your way for a call and get it, why not?
All the more reason swings/strike zone calls should be robotic at this point.. Can never have a single person use the "judgement call" argument ever again
@@brettlewis2900 Never should it be robotic. People make mistakes, wrong calls are made. That's apart of life. There wouldn't be anything exciting if things were perfect (which is what a robotic system would produce). We strive to be perfect but can never get there, but that's what keeps us going. 🤷🏼♂️
Not what he said at all but go off
5:35 🤣 “Yah… let’s fuckin’ a ra rah”
I can’t stop watching that. You’re freaking awesome Jomboy
4:46 it looks like Max turned into a vampire for a second, biting Will Smith’s neck. 🧛♂️
Dave Roberts said in his postgame that Scherzer was lobbying him to pitch in Game 5 for the last couple of days. I imagine him peeking into his windows at home lol
I’m a huge Giants fan. Hear me out.
Yes, this was the bullshit ending and the Umps were really terrible through the series. Angel Hernandez? Really?
The bottom line is though we beat ourselves. We did NOT hit the balls we needed to hit. Our great pitching did not have the run support it needed. We should have scored just as many runs as the Dodgers, we didn’t. Scoring no more than 4 runs against another 100 win team is not acceptable even with great pitching. Our defense bailed us out this series.
This final strike was poetic honestly. It sucks, but this loss is just as much on the Giants than the Umps.
Regardless, I’m very proud of my Giants. This was a fantastic season that just ended on a downer note. But I’m hopeful for next season. Unlike the 49ers who always find ways to disappoint me.
I'm a giants fan, and I definitely agree. You can't discount the fact that the Dodgers have maybe the most dominant pitching force in the last decade in their starting rotation and their bullpen, and it's pretty dang hard to hit any of those guys even without all of the confidence they were riding high on, holding the Giants to almost no runs across 3 or 4 games.
The call sucks, and as much as I'm bummed that our season ended that way, I feel for the Dodgers fans that were robbed of a little bit of finality to their well-deserved win. They're a much better team than the Giants, especially on paper, but I was really banking on our ragtag bunch of misfits to come through and take down the goliath. Oh well -- maybe in another decade we can win another NL West title lol.
I hope for another playoff series against the Giants -Dodger fan
I agree to an extent, problem is the umps were dog shit and our team has been notorious all year of working counts and that’s hard to do when balls clearly off the side plate are getting called all night but the giants were not getting those same calls. Usually you find a get back ball or strike but it was super one sided all night
Giants suck
100% correct. They had their opportunities early in the game and failed to get a hit with runners in scoring position.
As a Giants fan, I'm very proud of the team I've followed for so long. No one thought they would make it this far. They played a competitive season and a competitive back and forth series in the post season with the Dodgers. The Dodgers just came out the better team this time. I don't think that call on the checked swing really mattered. Coming back to win in the 9th vs Scherzer with 2 outs is too tall a task for a struggling offense. 🤷
I'm a lifelong dodgers fan, and I still get angry when I see this clip. I get where I coming from, but ending a game (Especially one this important) on such a bad call just shouldn't be done. Best of luck to your giants this postseason 👍
Hey, maybe we'll get a rematch and karma will have to take it's course.
@@tombadil64 Yeah, but like I said, it wouldn’t have mattered. Scherzer was going to get his final out one way or another.
@@ryanandrews9102 That's probably true... sorry if I came off as combatant, wasn't my intention. Just sharing a thought. Either way, hope you're enjoying the season so far, and that the rest of your day is a good one 👍
@@tombadil64 yeah I’m enjoying the season, although it’s an up and down one for us lol. The Giants show a lot of promise with their young players this year, so we might not make the playoffs, but if not this year we will next year I think.
I am not a Giants fan but I am not going to lie this is one of the best series I have watched in many years. I was sorry there had to be a loser. Why couldn't they do a replay on the last pitch?
As a Giants fan the call was definitely heartbreaking but because there is not set rule about what a check swing is and what is mean to "go around", it's up to the umpire's discretion. So no replay because no hard rule on when a check swing becomes a real swing.
As a Dodgers fan, I hated the call. I felt robbed of that definitive "we put you away" feeling. I know it's a 5 game series and the Giants had a lot of opportunities. Obviously I'm happy the Dodgers are moving on but I hate that the conversation around moving on is defined by an umpire and a weird call rather than the Dodgers shutting the door confidently. It is what it is. Great series. Go Dodgers.
the only rational explanation from a dodger's fan i've seen. cheers
-- a giants fan
I dont think anyone liked that call. He obviously checked the swing, and the call is a black mark on Baseball, imo
Felt the same. Watched it live and I was very unsatisfied all around lol
As a Dodgers fan I'm glad we're moving on. As a overall baseball fan I'm fucking pissed because it should never come down to that. It just fucking sucks with this ending.
I felt the same. Even if the Dodgers go all the way, the haters will come back to this play.
Even better, Bellys interview saying Webb "shoved it up our butt, twice"
I was dying when I saw that
Jomboy Missed the opportunity for the Roman Swipes ad placement there
Casual homophobia and people from Los Angeles, name a better duo.
@@SpicyTrifongo Even if taken literally (which no one should've taken an analogy literally) someone talking about how they took it up the butt twice is not homophobic. How in the world is a men saying they were annnally penetrated twice in any way, shape or form homophobic. That's just called being gay. I don't know how you came to that conclusion.
@@tetrahexahedron3168 He talked about a man putting something up a bunch of other men's butts in a derogatory fashion.

The entire series had terrible umps, every game had a bad call that changed the game.
True. The strike zone was horrible for both teams. As poor as Max Scherzer was early in his first start, he lost a lot of potential strikes. The same could be said for the Giants in Game 4. I really don't want a robo ump, but at the rate guys like Angel Hernandez and Doug Eddings are going, they may just wind up doing it to themselves.
@@theswordguy5269 I completely agree.
This Ump had a cold beer waiting for him.
Jomboy needs an Emmy. this is hilarious
You missed the best Sherzer moment: him holding Doc as he screams in his face and Doc trying to escape his clutches to no avail. Love me some Mad Max. Go Dodgers!
I hope he didn't have bad breath...lol
Let’s all take a second and imagine the insanity that would have transpired if Max had BEEN an ACTUAL closer for his whole career!
He’s perfect for a closer. Very intimidating

Hope max likes closing because he picks when he plays

“Oh yeah? Fuck yeah. Get away from me.” 🤣
A season ending in any scenario sucks but for it to end in that way including all the questionable calls earlier in the game is even more gut wrenching
I actually had to turn the game off after the horrid dodger favoring calls just kept rolling in. Absolutely inexcusable.
At least he took a check swing while Yelich watched the season go right by him.
Yeah, it felt like congrats... Dodgers? I guess?
It's called karma
@@xJ0LLYR0GERx 🤣cry cry cry
I’m not even a Giants fan, and that call made me a bit angry.
This entire 5 game series, for the Dodgers and Giants, the umps have been absolutely awful.
I don’t think I have ever seen a group of people actively work so hard at making themselves irrelevant than MLB umpires over the past few years.
As a dodger fan I think that call was stupid
Yup. Ruined for both sides. Scherzer was going to strike Flores out the right way. Umpire took a good save away from Scherzer, now we'll never hear the end from giants fans on how we cheated them! Especially since Dodgers have nothing to do with the umpiring.
It happend to us we could of won 1st place but check swing fucked us and giants won the game.
Read my lips: I never get tired of this shit. It never fails to make me laugh.
Jomboys autobiography will be called “Let’s Go!!!!!”
I love how the Dodgers started a reliever and closed with a starter
Best move Roberts ever made.
that’s playoff baseball
That's why they're going to lose. It'll work sometimes but when they get to the world series nobody will know who's job is what and Robert's will make the wrong call like he has so many times before. They'll run out of pitchers. They're just super lucky they got Scherzer
Genius if they win; idiot if they lose. That's how it goes, always.
@@jenkinsjohn15 No he is lucky the Dodgers got him off of the loosing team he was on,And for two they all win and lose right?And the dodgers won a lot more games than the Braves did this year, And if anyone in the league can beat the braves this year it’s the Dodgers
"He's like a raptor."
LOL
His wrists never broke and the bat never went over the plate. That should be a reviewable call.
They need an electronic system.
At some point.. reviewing everything ruins the game and the moment..
He set up with his legs straddling home plate, from the camera angle that we can see the bat has gone in front of his body so the bat has gone over the plate
But that wrist and bat-over-the-plate stuff isn't in the rule book. One thing I noticed is the ball was right there when he tried to stop his bat. It's basically a swing that he only stops once he realizes he's nowhere near close to touching the ball. So by my own personal uneducated interpretation of the rulebook, he totally offered to hit that ball but then did the whole hold-the-bat-head-just-right thing to pretend he didn't intend to hit that ball.
I dunno, I'm probably just warping my own brain in order to be okay with my team winning in this fashion. But damn if the real rule isn't the most weirdly vague thing in all of sports. Like, what's a check swing? Is it really fair to stop a swing that's already basically halfway? Because in my opinion, who cares if the wrists break or whatever... A lot of times a guy's wrists will break early because of bad mechanics, which results in a lame ground ball... So of a guy stops his swing there it'll still be called a strike?
Bottom line: the rule as written sucks, fans, broadcasters, and probably players don't really know the rule because it's been talked about for so long in a way that isn't analogous to the actual rule, and the MLB should have had the forethought to make such a play reviewable. Really dumb.
Bat over plate imo equals a swing, like just because he didn't follow thru makes it not a swing? He wanted to hit it
Damn I didn’t know the Giants were that close to a walkoff home run. I didn’t get to see the game that night. I don’t know what would suck more. That brutal check swing call or that foul ball that went the distance.
Was waiting for this breakdown! You’re the man Jimmy
Same, how about that for turn around time!
The worst call of the game should have been ball 4 on Kris Bryant, called a strike at his ANKLES! Would have been first and second, then the wild pitch second and third. Home plate ump was GARBAGE
And!
Haha same !!!
Imagine playing 162 games, winning 107 of them, playing baseball for over six months, just for your season to end that way
Imagine if the Dodgers lost a one game series to determine a playoff slot having the second most games won at that time by a difference of 1 game. Gtfoh.
@@James_Bee not that many fans thought that was a good situation for the Dodgers.
That’s baseball; unapologetically ruthless.
You can say the same about the Dodgers though; even moreso since the Dodgers had to play in the wild card
I mean they were gonna lose anyway
The fact that Flores failed to swing on the 87 mph slider UP IN THE ZONE . . . total sweet-spot pitch, a legit mistake pitch by Mad Max . . . takes some of the sting out of it. In an alternate reality, Wilmer hits that pitch 500 feet, and then Scherzer is lamenting in post-game interviews about how badly he hung that one pitch that cost them the trip to the NLCS. When Flores wakes up in the middle of the night covered in sweat after dreaming again about that at bat, it will be failing to pull the trigger on pitch 1 that haunts him. All that said -- no fucking way that was a swing on the SO. Lame ending.
Scherzer gonna be on the bill for the next Jurassic Park blockbuster after this
I am a giants fan. I was at this game. I'm sitting here crying in my chair, why did you re-expose me to this trauma?
We’ll bruh, you could always set your phone down and go surfing - more to life than this ya know…
I am a Dodgers fan. You clicked the video, champ, or should I say “not-champ”? 😬😳
Well if it wasn’t a swing or not the dodgers would’ve still won lol
As a Giants fan, that game ending was a tough pill to swallow. Not just the checked swing, but the entire ninth inning
More like the whole game. The bad calls weren't borderline, they were hands down bad and changed the outcome of the inning and potentially the game multiple times.
Kapler should have pulled Doval after the 8th. The 9th was Gossmans inning… his composure and how he handled his situation proved he deserved that “close”.
@@SecretSauceyjuice giants got the no call against LA during the regular season, they wouldnt even be in the nlds if it wasn't for that call
@@iceysportscards9395 lol what? They would hava had a 1 game playoff with the dodgers for the division.
@@jaysnow701 shhh... let him do the math. Give him time.
I found this channel last week and now officially love Max Scherzer
I never watch baseball, but I really enjoy your videos! You are just very entertaining and funny 😆 It’s also interesting when someone knowledgeable about the sport breaks these plays down to someone who doesn’t know a thing about baseball
Anyone who says “he would’ve struck out anyways” is missing the point. You can’t end these incredibly important games on a bad call even if statistically speaking it probably wouldn’t have mattered. You never know what could’ve happened
Guy had no shot you squid
Exactly, like baseball isn't a game that can go completely the other way regardless of statistics in a single moment or anything.
You're right 100%. But I think you agree he would've struck out anyways.
Karma for the giants stealing a game that affected the rest of the season on an equally terrible call
I disagree the ump was tired just wanted to go home. Give him a break.
Looking at that objectively it was a Horsehit call. As A Dodger fan, we'll take it
He went
If the shoe were on the other foot, I’m sure SF fans would have been fine with a call like this
tbh, that whole series was riddled with bad calls from the ump crew. im not surprised it came down to that at the end
@@rawkusrex neither is the MLB
Eh, Giants had a check swing call go their way to pull ahead of the Dodgers back in July. Scherzer was in a groove. 💯 believe he would’ve gotten the out even if the ump didn’t call that swing. This shouldn’t lessen their win or their hard work all season. Dodgers are also one of the teams that was done dirty by the Trashtros so I think these guys are more than deserving.
Every Scherzer post game celebration looks like it’s 3 seconds away from becoming a post game fist fight with his teammates.
Jim... you are the absolute best baseball commentator in the world. You should have 12 M subscribers... EVERY real baseball fan would appreciate your level of analysis and humour.
You could have called this “Ump throws MLB under bus.” Based on Morales statement about not having multiple camera angles.
If anything, that's exactly what the MLB wanted.
They run a business, not a public service.
And umpires are employees of that business with absolutely no obligation to the public.
Anyone with half a brain would know that umpires cannot review a checked swing. And also it was a play to end the game.
I don’t know about that but it sounds like there’s an arrogant umpire that probably still thinks he made the correct cal
@@noermayo1290 They’re all arrogant.
@@SpicyTrifongo You mean the public that pays to watch baseball? You mean MLB's customers? Well, here's a hint for you. Any business that doesn't feel an obligation to its customers probably won't be in business for very long.
Jomboy really just called Gavin Lux "Sexpot" lol gotta love this channel!
He is awfully cute. I would love to rumple those curls. lol jK
@@lyndarocha8846 this but not kidding
SEXPOT!?!
It's a boy band or something
@@lyndarocha8846 Lynda get yourself a GL Fat Hat
The extended extreme detail breakdown of mad max was so good 😄
I don't think he is even saying words, I lost it 🤣
The zoom on clayton Kees has was the whole video for me, I didn’t see this game😂😂😂
Kershaw
only thing better than a "we're just sticking up for our guys" fest, is a big "LET'S GO" fest
The second half of this video is gold
The funniest breakdown ever jomboy😂😂love the videos
My shock at the check-swing call made me forget that Flores looked at a first-pitch meatball; and also that Lamont almost walked it off just minutes earlier. Not a Dodgers or Giants fan, but I imagine Giants fans must be bitterly disappointed.
We are…honestly, it’s ruined my appetite for baseball for the rest of the post-season, and I won’t be watching again until next year.
After what the Giants did to my Reds in 2012, it was very satisfying to see them get kicked to the curb in gut wrenching fashion. There is still a little justice in this world!
@@kent266You're right, I can always rewind to that Latos meatball that Posey salami'd to bring joy. Thx for the reminder :)
@@kent266 At least the 2012 Giants deserved to win that series and didn't get any favorable calls from the umps. Can't make a bad call on a Buster Posey Grand Slam.
@@kent266 big difference between a bs call and legitly hitting a fucking tank lmfao
"He's like a RAPTOR" LMFAO HAAAAAA
Scherzer a different breed man, dude is definition of intense, I love it!!
Who needs ESPN when we have JB, love it
As someone that comes for the Let's Gos, loved this one. Thanks Jomboy
I opened TH-cam to look for a new breakdown video, went to your page, didn’t see anything new. Went to my homepage and saw this posted! It’s like I knew it was coming 🤣🤣🤣
SO nobody is normally allowed to congratulate this man. So now the passion all comes out.
"Are you not entertained?!" -Max Scherzer
Just remember when the machines are making the calls "You did it too yourselves!"
ffs at least it would be consistent
@@dannybailey3720 wasn’t there one pitch where roboump called a ball at the feet a strike in whatever league they are testing that system?
@@mikecumbo7531 Well obviously they need to do a really good job developing it to make it more accurate than human umps, otherwise there's no point. With enough money spent they could come up with a really good system I'm sure
@@mikecumbo7531 One pitch in a game where they were testing it vs any game, anytime, where you will consistently see umps making bad calls.
Just imagine a game with Laz Diaz, Joe West, and Angel Hernandez all working on the same crew.
This overshadowed the real miracle here.
After a .160 season for Bellinger, he’s the hero in the wild card AND this game 5.
"Form is temporary, Class is forever"
I’m happy for him, that was his biggest at bat of his career IMO
Belli is gonna walk off the WS
The Scherzer stuff is hilarious
Jomboy !!! You sir are the BEST👏👏👏
If you have the balls to end a game on a swing check to first, you better be damn well sure he ACTUALLY FUCKING SWUNG AT IT
not to mention in game 5 of the NLDS
@@yoda9256 Everything about this is awful. I don’t root for the Giants, but as a baseball fan this angers me.
This is exactly what I was thinking watching this. I would've erred on this side of caution and not called that, not in game 5, 9th innings of an NLDS match..
Jaja
Plague on MLB
