- British Cricket fan reacts to game 4 of the '22 Baseball World Series
I'm really enjoying learning about Baseball, thanks for all your comments!
Original video... • Astros vs. Phillies Wo...
#baseball #reacts #cricketfan
I can’t believe no one in the comments said this…..
But, 16:00, yes, a no hitter in the World Series is extremely significant and rare. This is the second no hitter in World Series history.
A no hitter is exactly what it sounds like - when your pitching staff allows no hits against the other team. Before this game, there were only 2 no hitters in the postseason EVER - in a sport that’s been played for 150 years. The first was in the 1956 World Series. The second was in the 2010 ALDS - ironically, thrown by legendary Phillies pitcher Roy halladay.
So, this was the 3rd no hitter in postseason history, and the 2nd ever in the World Series. What you’re watching from the Houston pitching staff is all-time historic stuff. Everyone in the comments is doing you a disservice by not mentioning this. It’s the only thing game 4 of the 2022 World Series will be remembered for.
It was the 2010 NLDS against the Reds. It was Roy’s first game pitching the postseason and his first year with the Phillies. Score was Reds 0 @ Phillies 1
I’m not a fan of a pitching duel (kinda boring) but it was a really fast game and Roy only allowed 1 walk! He also had his Perfect game a couple months earlier in Miami!
@@lovesgucci1 thanks for the correction, editing my post now
AYE! The video I was waiting for.
This game is the second time in baseball history there was ever a "no-hitter", where the opposing team cannot get a single hit the entire game. To understand how impressive this is: The starting pitcher responsible was a 25 year old out of the Dominican Republic, who was converted into a pitcher at 17 after failing as an outfielder. As far as prospects go, he was worthless; the Astros signed him for 10,000 dollars anyway, and he developed into one of the best pitchers in the game. This is unprecedented. At such a young age, too, being able to be basically a nobody can then go into the WORLD SERIES and no-hit one of the deadliest lineups is surely a moment that will not be forgotten by history.
Your interest and curiosity for this game, especially as as a Brit, is unbelievable. You've come full circle, actually. Baseball was invented in England and was taken to America, where it would thrive while it was forgotten in England. Anyway, thank you for these videos. They are amazing.
Thanks so much for your comment. I've surprised myself, I'm really enjoying watching it & would love to see some games live, the atmosphere in the stadium looks amazingI didn't realise Baseball was invented here!
I’m not sure that it was, but it may have been adapted from a similar game - Rounders? - that did begin in England. There’s a whole “History of baseball” entry in Wikipedia.
@@sprtswrtr10 Thanks, I'll have a look at the Wikipedia entry. We still play rounders but generally only at primary school, as kids get older its more football/soccer, rugby and cricket
Just wanted to point out that he (Javier) threw another combined no hitter this year, to the Yankees.
@@Cleophas-tl7ic If you do get the chance, don't rule out minor-league games as an option as well. MLB Baseball has a very well established series of lower leagues to scout for prospects.
A no-hitter is very special and very rare. In the ~150 years of baseball, there have only been ~316 no-hitters. Of those, maybe 16 of them were combined no-hitters.. meaning, it wasn't done by just 1 pitcher. In this case, it was Javier, Montero, Abreau and Pressley who all didn't give up any hits to the Phillies. What made it even more rare and special is that this is only the 2nd no-hitter ever thrown in a World Series. What a night!
"It's a round bat and a round ball, and you have to hit it square."
You should make a video watching cricket highlights and explaining it for us american baseball fans!
Where he was "chased off of the plate," he was out by swinging and missing counting as a strike - in this case the 3rd strike. Side note, while a foul ball is counted as a strike, a foul ball cannot be the 3rd strike. A foul ball after two strikes is still counted as a strike thrown by the pitcher but it is not a strike against the batter batting.
Back to back K's is back to back strike outs. A strike out is colloquially called a "K" and is a shorthand for anyone keeping a scorecard.
When a batter is hit by a pitch they get to go to first base. It's the equivalent of a "walk" but a walk itself is the result of an at bat which had four balls (non strikes) thrown and not swung on or hit the batter.
Batters also use their bats to move the ball around, but it is a lot less exacting than cricket and basically rests on if the batter gets a pitch he can anticipate and see where it's going to cross where he can get a bat on it. Batters practice hitting into the "hole" or spaces between the fielders, down the line, as well as hitting over their reach and into the gaps between outfielders.
A fly ball is also called a pop fly. It is a high arcing ball, usually giving the outfield ample time to intercept and catch, which might leave the ballpark but usually doesn't.
A No Hitter is where a pitcher or the pitching staff get 27 outs without the opposing team getting on base with a hit. Not a single Philadelphia Philly was able to swing the bat, hit the ball, and make it to first base without the ball being caught or without being called out at first when the fielded ball was thrown to whoever was covering 1st base.
A No Hitter is a comparatively rare but not unheard of game result. This was only the 2nd No Hitter in a World Series game in Major League history, though this was a Combined No Hitter because multiple pitchers each in their stints pitching gave up no hits whereas the previous No Hitter in a World Series, all 27 outs were thrown by one pitcher.
A No Hitter is a pretty big deal because they are so rare. It's usually a combination of dominant pitching and airtight fielding, and the opposing team just having a really bad day at the plate, including X factor bad luck like borderline umpire calls.
The St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs will be playing two games in London this summer.
By the way, a "K" is short-hand for strikeout. A "backwards" K is a strikeout-looking, where they simply watch strike-three as the ball hits the strikezone. Any time you swing, it's a strike, so if you swing with two strikes and miss, you strike out.
Been watching (and playing) baseball a long time and never realized the inverted K thing. THANKS!
Oh no.. No no no, don’t teach him how to score a game, he’s not ready..
Pretty sure the backwards “K” can also mean they’ve had more than 1 strikeout in the game (the pitcher)
@@CrispyMaceee0.4
No, backwards K means struck out looking..
@@CrispyMaceee0.4 I haven't heard that before.
7:03 The mound is 10 inches high (0.25m). It was 15 inches high (0.38m) until 1969 when it was lower to make it a bit more difficult for pitchers.
a K..is how a strikeout is marked in a baseball scoresbook
A Curveball is thrown by spinning the baseball as it is released from the hand. If you want to know exactly how, there are plenty of tutorials. Generally, the more the ball spins, the more it curves.
An example of a good curveball is at 7:17. At first, the ball appears to be headed for the strike zone, so the batter swings. But the ball curves away from the batter (and downward!) out of his reach.
0:44 Pitching Ninja is a great channel for learning about all the different ways that pitchers hold the ball and strategize their pitching locations.
Thanks, I'll check it out
Love these videos
A fly ball as called by the announcer will be the easiest ball to catch for an out by any outfielder. Will be clearly visible for a long period of time and should gently fall into glove. A no-doubter.
15:11 A fly-ball is a ball that's just hit really high in the air. These are incredibly easy to catch.
Its a can of corn!
11:22 If you asked any athelete from any sport, "what's the hardest thing to do in sports? The answer is this: hit a baseball
I could take you out into my backyard, toss 30 balls at you at 50 km/h and you wouldn't hit a single one. It's that hard. The fact that these guys can hit 160 km/h HARD with that thin little bat is nothing short of incredible.
Reminder: in baseball, if you succeed in 30% of your at-bats and fail 70% of the time, you are one of the greatest hitters alive. If you succeed 40% of the time and fail 60%, you are the greatest of all time.
It amazes me that they manage to hit the ball, let alone hit a homerun. I would love to have a go in one of those batting practice cages (sorry if that's the wrong name, hopefully you know hat I mean) but I suspect I wouldn't hit a single ball but it would be nice to experience what it's like facing even slow balls!
Throw that soft shit at me, bud.. lol..
Definitely, you should watch the World baseball classic.
I'm looking forward to it, just hope it's shown in the UK!
@@user-es4mf9qb6j it definitely should be also there are some videos showing how pitchers make the ball move so much
FYI that 100 you saw was how hard the pitcher was throwing in mph. So that would be 160 kph. Which is on top end. Hardly any throw that hard. Not sure how hard they throw in cricket
if no one else says it. at the beginning you talk about scuffing the ball. There is actually a famous baseball era called the "Deadball Era" where the ball was so covered in tobacco juice that many people couldn't see it as it came.
glad you're back! these videos are great!
16:00 there are two major individual single game accomplishments for a pitcher. a no-hitter and a perfect game.
a no hitter means that the pitcher(s) did not allow a hit the entire game, but they did allow a runner to reach base (ie. walks, hit batter, or fielding error).
a perfect game means that the pitcher got got out all 27 batters he faced. no hits, walks, or errors, allowed. this has only been done about 25 times or so in over 100 years of baseball.
no hitters are relatively common i would say theres at least one almost every season. perfect games are obviously way more rare.
Thanks, I'd heard the term perfect game and wondered what it meant.
No hitters are “relatively” common in the regular season - although still quite rare statistically - but they’re extremely rare in the postseason. This is the third time it’s ever happened in 150 years.
No hitters a very uncommon as most season you might get a few which makes sense for a 162 game regular season for each teams. But basically what that is one team doesn't get a single hit for the game now there are way to get runs by getting walk and sac flys as they dont count as hits and it a great achievement. There have only been 3 post season No hitters with 2 being in the world series. There are also several rare types of no hitters. The loss no hitter and the perfect game. So yes you can lose but still have a no hitter and that has only happened a few times. The perfect game is basically a no hitter but no errors, wild pitches, or walks which are insanely rare the last one was about 10 years ago.
This is a sport where really bad teams can beat really good teams. I would not be surprised if Great Britain wins games in the WBC however it will be really hard for them.
It would be great if we could win a game or two & hopefully raise the profile of Baseball in the UK
I Enjoy your videos reactions of the World Series, keep up good work. Cheers
You should watch a Boston Red Sox game where they play in Fenway park! It’s one of the most unique fields in baseball as it has a roughly 11 meter tall wall in left field called the Green Monster. The 2018 World Series had some really good games there.
8:03 As the ball flies through the air, it spins, and this "spin" can actually cause the ball to move in the direction it is spinning. This is called the magnus effect. For a curveball, instead of making the ball spin "up" (backspin) as with the fastball, the pitcher changes his grip so that the ball flies out of his hand spinning downward, causing it to literally dive into the ground due to the aerodynamic forces.
Ah, I wondered how the pitcher could make it curve, that makes a lot of sense, I guess a good batter will try to see how the pitcher is gripping the ball when it's pitched although that must be hard at the speed the ball is pitched.
He will if he can, but great hitters can even catch the spin as the ball is released and adjust. I played the game reasonably well and can’t imagine pulling that off. There’s a phrase in American sports: “The hardest thing in sports is to hit a baseball.”
Yes, and this applies to batted balls, too, of course.. Getting backspin will help the ball carry..
I’ve heard a while back that the average lifespan of a Major League Baseball is 7 pitches. Also, scuffing a baseball is illegal. In baseball so many things factor in pitch type, the laces are used as leverage to generate spin, arm angle and velocity can affect how well a ball moves. Then there’s guys that throw a knuckleball, which basically doesn’t spin at all and the air makes the ball kinda flutter in all directions.
Thanks, I wondered what a knuckleball was
It's not a real no-hitter. Multi-pitcher no-hitters are BS.
there is only one canadian and not american team. the toronto blue jays. i live an hour from there, so it's a no brainer for me, but for the most part all of canada are blue jays fans.
Hard to watch this game (I’m a huge Phillies fan!) but love watching your interest in baseball! I never played (was a gymnast & dancer) but as a daddy’s girl m, I had no choice but to love it!
You need to watch the Phillies v Padres game 3 & 4 - NLCS
Both under dog teams & the best baseball in years!!
“Jomboy Media” and “Baseball Doesn’t Exist” are great channels
Phillies Padres game 4 & 5
Thanks, I'll look them up!
New fan here! Saludos from Mexico!
Welcome & thanks for watching.
There are some very good videos on youtube that explain the different types of pitches.
Gosh I would love to take you to a game and explain every little thing. This game is so much fun and I love it when others take an interest in it. Especially when it's not very well understood in their native country.
And how to throw a curveball is pretty difficult to explain via text but I'll try my best. On the baseball, if you imagine it spinning on an axis on its side kinda like the planet Uranus and then place your finger at the "equator" as it spins, you'll notice your finger cross the seams a certain number of times before you you return back to the starting point.
Sounds like a lot but it's important.
Anyways, you'll notice on the baseball that there's a bit of a horseshoe shape in the seams. What you want to do is take your first two fingers and place them inside the horseshoe on the side furthest away from you. Getting a good feel of the seams along your middle finger. As you throw, you'll snap the ball over your fingers, imparting a forward spin on the ball. Because you're presenting all 4 seams to the relative wind, you get an exaggerated effect. Since the top half of the ball is rotating into the wind and the bottom half is rotating with the wind, the top half is creating more drag and will make the ball drop very sharply provided that you gave it enough spin.
This is the basic principle behind all kinds of pitches. There are all manner of ways to get a call to break in the direction you want to. The curveball explanation I gave is the most standard. The main point is getting the proper spin axis and you can get it to break anywhere you want it to.
In the US, the term bandwagon fan is typically used for a fan that likes or supports a team when they win and could care less about them when they lose.
A good example of this would be the Houston from 2011 to 2013, the team averaged 100 loses in a season and a number of Texans began to support the Texas Rangers, a state rival of the Astros, because at the time, they had been in two back to back World Series.
LMAO.. no one from Houston is going to support a team from Dallas. Period.
This never happened. Lmao. If your argument was that people from Houston who used to support the Astros didn’t care too much about them during that period when they were losing…… sure, that’s normal of a rebuilding team. But what you just said is straight up fantasy. No one from Houston supported the rangers, dickhead. No one who was originally an Astros fan ever switched sides. And the fact you said that not only proves you’re not from Houston, but you’re not even from Texas. No rangers fans would ever say what you just said 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 they know better
The Haters Guide to the 2022 MLB Season: Debriefing if you like you baseball with a heavy dose of sarcasm.
That video is gold, as well as most of his channel
Tree is the best
A no hitter is exceptionaly rare in the World Series along with a score like 6-0
Only two in the history of world series. The first one was a perfect game (where the losing team never gets anybody to first base, not even for ball walks)
If you want to be impressive check out the best of little league world series.
In case you choose the Phillies as your team:
Philadelphia Phillies is the oldest team w/ the same name (1883)
Only won 2 World Series- 1980 (wasn’t born yet) & 2008
Lost well over 10k games
Philadelphia A’s moved out of the city in the 1950s
All our sports teams play next to each other (NFL Eagles, NBA 76ers, NHL Flyers, MLB Phillies)
2:54 Be a mets fan!!! we have a really fun team. we've struggled for a long time almost our entire history and now we're finally really competitive.
