Aaron Boone’s umpire mockery is my personal highlight of the year thus far…and I *attended* a game where the Red Sox won via grand slam walk off. That’s how hilarious that particular incident was.
Nah, it's only going to get worse. Just more clown behavior and unlikable jerks acting like gods cause they hit a home run off a 4A pitcher in an 11-1 blowout. More overpaid has-beens under performing or getting injured and sucking up far too much money. More stupid rule changes, more billionaire owners alienating fans. 2023 won't be an outlier, it will be the "good old days"
As a Dodgers fan , I'm in support of you guys but I would like to see you A's fans win a World Series sometime in the near future but not too far into the future , guys should stay in Oakland but the Coliseum should go under a massive renovation to fix everything but I know the owner won't do that , Fisher reminds me of Snyder from Washington
As someone who has been a Guardians fan since birth (previously Indians) The Tim Anderson K.O was the greatest thing I've seen in years. Seeing the gross missed call of pushing on that tag. To later in the series him just getting K.O'ed was one of the funniest and craziest things ever! When he says that Jose is a folk hero in Cleveland he means it. The next day It was all people were talking about. I love baseball!
As a diehard angels fan this is the most soul crushing season of any sport I’ve ever witnessed, so much hope and potential just withered away as the season went on. The Seattle series was the nail the coffin. They just can’t compete at the level they need to
I was at the reverse protest at the Coliseum in June. I’ve been a fan of the Athletics since birth and it was legitimately one of the best baseball games I have ever been to.
A's fans don't deserve a single inch of that platform. They have neglected their team for years, not attended games, not bought merchandise, and only seem to show up when the team is already out the door and even then they act like petulant children throwing garbage, throwing tomatoes, and being ultra passive-aggressive by showing up in droves to games. They're like an abusive husband when his wife is about to leave him because those situations are never about actually being sorry for what they did-- it's just them freaking out at the idea of losing control. The Raiders left for similar reasons and, like them, I don't blame the As here.
@@j.menapace625If you actually went to a game you understand do not even start to judge because we have the worse stadium , we have a better mayor now but before she sucked, then the owners raised the price on concessions and rarely do giveaways and their management of the stadium is just straight up ghetto since our owners don’t even want to care so don’t even to begin saying we don’t have a good fanbase, if you saw the games 6 -10 years ago you’d understand but you won’t because you judge things to early
@@techwreck7613 Sure, blame everyone except yourselves. Classic abuser denial.

A's fans don't have anything close to that level of compassion and are about as fair weather as it gets-- just like every other franchise in that area. The fans are absolutely the reason the team is leaving and their recent behavior only further validates the move.
@@techwreck7613 going to a Red Sox game is extremely expensive as well, yet when the Red Sox still had bad seasons, THE FANS STILL SHOWED UP!

I’m a Pirates fan and you didn’t even mention the absolutely PATHETIC coaching staff we have. We’re so irrelevant we didn’t even make it into this video lol. Started off 20-8 and ever since we’ve been as bad as the last 5-5 years. The misery continues!!
Probably because Pirates fans exist less than baseball. I was there a few months back when they were in first place and the stadium was maybe 1/4 full. Even the uber driver who took me to the game didn't know they were playing that day.

@@NoNameNo.5No it doesn’t, because those stadiums are worthless to the municipality if the team ever leaves. I mean look at how many stadiums just rot away into disrepair afterwards.

i'm mostly not seeing it but your video gives me the impression i know something or other. thanks. i used to watch you long ago. you are still awe-inspiring.
This whole season has been insane. I've lived in cincinnati my entire life and I've NEVER seen an excitement like this with the Reds in all my 32 years. As far as the protests go, I think it's just another symptom of people being sick of the bs when it comes to pro sports. Prices at ballparks have exploded. I went to a reds game about 3 weeks ago and even nosebleed seats cost almost 40 bucks through ticketmaster, concession prices are outrageous, like 12 dollars for a beer and 8 dollars for a hotdog, all these players have bigger and bigger salaries with nothing to show for it. Fans are fed up with overpaid diva players who dont produce wins, fat cat arrogant owners who don't give a shit about the fans and self important umps who get as many calls wrong as they do right
This Ohtani saga reminds me so much of the Harry Kane saga. One team chose to cash out, the other went all in on keeping their star. Really curious to see what happens to the Angels but it looks like the answer is downfall
Most interesting storyline is definitely the Scherzer/Verlander rivalry, which I wasn't even familiar with as a National League devotee - super excited to keep watching that. Thank you for bringing attention to it, I hope the MLB would consider marketing that rivalry to play it up. Saddest part of the season so far has been Rizzo and his concussion. Poor guy. The Yankees were straight up negligent to let Rizzo continue playing - did none of their medical staff see a replay of the collision? I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since Rizzo passed concussion protocol, but still... How sad for such a great, charismatic guy.
It is rare these days, but it does happen, I remember Both Joe Panik and Mac Williamson from the Giants who were both going on tears and were on pace to easily make the all-star team only to have concussions ruin both of their careers.
Ohtani will end up a Mariner.... I hope. He already has a house in the Seattle area, has a good friendship with a few of the players, and Ichiro is still on the field for practices.
Not to mention Seattle's games can be viewed live in Japan I think however that if he requires Tommy John, he may wish to settle for a small deal or a qualifying offer to just stay an Angel
as a ken griffey, jr fan who saw him go to cincinnati, i would hope that shohei goes to seattle and wins a title. the guy is too incredible to have his talents wasted.@@jayinthebx
This is my first time paying close attention to baseball and its been wild! Hope my Mariners Can reach the playoffs and be a good team for the next decade!
2023 is full of weird stories. The a's had such a passionate fanbase. I'm so proud of what the fanbase is doing. Elly and Ohtani are insane. Boone was hilarious and I am glad he protested the awful umpire. The Angels season continues to shock
Beat baseball video I’ve seen all year! Thanks brother! As a dead met fan this got me excited for a REDS V ORIOLES WORLD SERIES, it’s just good baseball.
I know it happens every year, but it just feels like players are getting injured a lot more often than they used to. So many teams lose 2-5 of their best players at the same time
I go back to Seattle about once a year and make sure I catch a Mariners game. I got to see Julio's fakeout when he robbed the Padres guy of the sure home run. And then run all over outfield catching every fly ball in his zip code. The kid is incredible.
As someone who doesnt watch any American sports, i find it absolutely astonishing that the owners can just… pack up the whole club and move 100s of miles away
The fact that 2 of the best baseball players in history (not even an exaggeration) have wasted a majority of their careers on the same garbage team and have played in a combined 3 career playoff games (all by Trout in 2014 when he was 22 years old) - should be a crime against sports.
As a lapsed baseball fan, the drama and new generation of players this year have brought me back, baby!😂 Also, Ohtani can't make the same mistake as Mike Trout and stick around a mediocre franchise in his absolute prime.
I’ve never watched a single game of baseball in my life yet I always keep up to date with your videos! Your videos are top tier my guy, keep up the great work!
“The Oakland Athletics are the worst team in baseball but according to many, that is exactly what their ownership wants.” So… this is just the plot of Major League only modernized and with less Chief Wahoo.
For videos like this is why I love baseball and no doubt about baseball is the most beautiful sport in the world, drama, action, strategy, speed, power, it has it all!!
The 2023 season patch really shook up the meta, this season is crazy. The young talent is really making the rich teams look foolish and I'm here for it, it's not pay-to-win anymore. It's so thrilling to see the O's, Rays, and my Blue Jays dominate the AL East!
this series is so hard you gotta keep doing it. i can't keep up with everything happening in the league so this is such a good way to stay informed about what to stay informed about
Ohtani's free agent contract is gonna be the craziest thing to ever hit an MLB team. He's gonna get paid like nobody's ever been paid, and that's assuming the team paying him is gonna be a playoff contender who's already spending on other pieces. Someones gonna be breaking the luxury tax record with the possibility of him getting injured ruining either part of his game and making him the worst albatross contract of all times. I hope the guy comes out as one of the best to ever play the game but man, what a dice roll that could turn out to be.
I think the funniest possible outcome is if he goes to an AL central team. At least he'd have good odds of making the playoffs without it feeling like he joined a superteam.
Which is why I think he'll be a free agent likely into the next season if not longer. Name a team other than the Dodgers who have the payroll to pay him and are an immediate playoff contender. Yankees are a mess and will be for a while.
@@grumbofps They've already got ads on every inch of stadium space including the grass, and now ads are infiltrating the uniform. Whichever team signs Shohei to that $600-700m contract will have to change its name to the DraftKingsApplePepsi DodgerGiants presented by TH-camTv
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Cardinals. They have so many blown saves that if they just had the same amount as the team above them in their division, not only would they be winning their division, they'd be one of the best teams in baseball
This is the first MLB season I've ever watched (British guy here), and i am so glad I did. It has been wildly fascinating and entertaining. Excited to see how it all ends.
I’m beyond pissed off about the Framber Valdez situation. He got a ton of people to think it was an accident, which looked probable at the time. They like 2 days ago he hit Jose caballero in the ankle after a homerun. My bet is that he’s just mad that he was a legit Cy Young contender and now he sucks. I now realize that Marcus semien isn’t an asshole, he’s right
This is one of the best baseball videos I've ever seen. I basically have sat this year out bc the Yankees are so bad, and I seriously feel completely caught up, and I was riveted the whole time. Masterful video, fantastic edit. Great job
i remember orioles games where we bought $10 tickets and then just walked to the first base line and nobody told us to move. the state of the team is nothing short of amazing. good for them
During a sub-par season for a Cleveland, the Ramirez fight was a much needed highlight! He was already beloved in Cleveland, but now he’s a hero. Let’s go J-Ram!
Julio just broke the 98 year old record for most hits in 4 games with 17 yesterday. The Mariners have been kicking the crap out of the Astros and going on another winning streak from the one last week and have now secured a wild card spot. But please, let’s hear more about the White Sox.
Nah, it’s too ridiculous. I mean, the GOAT being a debauched fat alcoholic man-child who was both a great hitter and pitcher? And a hundred years later some rando weeb comes along and does the same? No one would believe that
I don't watch Baseball and have only been to a few games but, these are excellent for someone trying to learn about the sport and what is going on. Great work, please keep it up.
As a rays fan. I was happy to see the A’s actually have an in person fan base and upset us that series. Can only imagine what it feels like to have to play to nobody
I am sorry that A’s fans will lose their team. The fight/protest they have made against the Fisher’s is legendary.
We'll still have our A's, just a few hundred miles away
It’s not the worst thing people in Oakland have going for them 😅
@@aidanrogers6767
At that point they’re no longer “[y]our A’s”

@@danlorett2184I don't think you understand how much money business and occupation taxes come in from pro sports. In my state, the municipal b&o tax rate is 1.5-3%. Of course, sometimes stadiums aren't in city limits 🤫
@@NoNameNo.5No it doesn’t, because those stadiums are worthless to the municipality if the team ever leaves. I mean look at how many stadiums just rot away into disrepair afterwards.
The teams should be subject not just to normal tax rates (they usually aren’t) but the municipality should have a stake in the team as well.
@@ChipCheerio taxation is theft. Na, if the venu is good, it will make multiple revenue streams. Concerts, kids events, host rallies and conventions etc
Hey man I love how you hype up baseball so much. Around the time I started watching again I found your videos. I used to find baseball somewhat boring. Now I am starting to love this sport partly thanks to you! Keep it up!!
This has been an amazing season of baseball. It has reenergized the sport.
i'm mostly not seeing it but your video gives me the impression i know something or other. thanks. i used to watch you long ago. you are still awe-inspiring.
Might be a wild season, but so far a good season for us Mariners :)
Lmfao yall still aren't good
Agreed. We are just sitting back and enjoying the chaos while others crumbled.
Bro, you just jinxed it
@@warlordofbritannia you saying that is probably what will jinx us you fool
@@TripenJJ
I’m a Red Sox fan, actually. I don’t think I *can* jinx Seattle…I hope.
This whole season has been insane. I've lived in cincinnati my entire life and I've NEVER seen an excitement like this with the Reds in all my 32 years.
As far as the protests go, I think it's just another symptom of people being sick of the bs when it comes to pro sports. Prices at ballparks have exploded. I went to a reds game about 3 weeks ago and even nosebleed seats cost almost 40 bucks through ticketmaster, concession prices are outrageous, like 12 dollars for a beer and 8 dollars for a hotdog, all these players have bigger and bigger salaries with nothing to show for it. Fans are fed up with overpaid diva players who dont produce wins, fat cat arrogant owners who don't give a shit about the fans and self important umps who get as many calls wrong as they do right
This Ohtani saga reminds me so much of the Harry Kane saga. One team chose to cash out, the other went all in on keeping their star. Really curious to see what happens to the Angels but it looks like the answer is downfall
Well his story has now ended in disaster too.
@@The8BitNerd yeah it's a yikes, how long is UCL recovery again (and can he even hit with that shit)
@@Jarrett_Leeyea u can ( Bryce Harper )
Rip to shohei’s pitching career I don’t think we’ll ever see anyone like that again.. wish he would have accepted that mri😢
New to following baseball and this was a brilliant download to get up to speed on this season. Great stuff. Subbed.
Most interesting storyline is definitely the Scherzer/Verlander rivalry, which I wasn't even familiar with as a National League devotee - super excited to keep watching that. Thank you for bringing attention to it, I hope the MLB would consider marketing that rivalry to play it up. Saddest part of the season so far has been Rizzo and his concussion. Poor guy. The Yankees were straight up negligent to let Rizzo continue playing - did none of their medical staff see a replay of the collision? I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since Rizzo passed concussion protocol, but still... How sad for such a great, charismatic guy.
Rizzo got Tua’d
It is rare these days, but it does happen, I remember Both Joe Panik and Mac Williamson from the Giants who were both going on tears and were on pace to easily make the all-star team only to have concussions ruin both of their careers.
The thing is, with that replay, not knowing about Rizzo's concussion, I thought it was a leg injury.
Yeah as a cubs fan I felt so bad for him
Ohtani will end up a Mariner.... I hope.
He already has a house in the Seattle area, has a good friendship with a few of the players, and Ichiro is still on the field for practices.
This is the way
Home is where the heart is. GO M"S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not to mention Seattle's games can be viewed live in Japan
I think however that if he requires Tommy John, he may wish to settle for a small deal or a qualifying offer to just stay an Angel
@@thedude3065he has to do tommy john or he wont pitch the rest of his career
as a ken griffey, jr fan who saw him go to cincinnati, i would hope that shohei goes to seattle and wins a title. the guy is too incredible to have his talents wasted.@@jayinthebx
This is my first time paying close attention to baseball and its been wild! Hope my Mariners Can reach the playoffs and be a good team for the next decade!
if they land ohtani in fa this year they will become a juggernaut for years to come.
GOMS
@MrFlyGuy12 We’re on the right track and now have the second wild card and are a half game back from Texas.
2023 is full of weird stories. The a's had such a passionate fanbase. I'm so proud of what the fanbase is doing. Elly and Ohtani are insane. Boone was hilarious and I am glad he protested the awful umpire. The Angels season continues to shock
Beat baseball video I’ve seen all year! Thanks brother! As a dead met fan this got me excited for a REDS V ORIOLES WORLD SERIES, it’s just good baseball.
I know it happens every year, but it just feels like players are getting injured a lot more often than they used to. So many teams lose 2-5 of their best players at the same time
Same thing is happening in the NFL. It’s crazy to me because they have the absolute BEST training by/conditioning and rehab technology.
Had you waited another week to release this, I'm sure the Mariners and Julio's recent absurdity would make a spot in this
I go back to Seattle about once a year and make sure I catch a Mariners game. I got to see Julio's fakeout when he robbed the Padres guy of the sure home run. And then run all over outfield catching every fly ball in his zip code. The kid is incredible.
I live in Seattle. What'd I miss recently?
@@eltio2400 I believe I read Julio hit 17-22 over a few games, with extra base hits thrown in for good measure. Basically he's being a beast.
When Jose Ramirez knocked out Tim Anderson, Jose Ramirez did not just knocked down Tim Anderson, but he’s ego too
And Jose did him a favor, was more of friend to him actually.
You hope Ramirez knocked down Andersons ego. Time will tell.
Apparently they took MRIs of Anderson’s head to check for damage afterwards. They found nothing.
@@warlordofbritannia I'm assuming that included brains as well, right?
@@prollins6443
That’s the joke, yes.
As someone who doesnt watch any American sports, i find it absolutely astonishing that the owners can just… pack up the whole club and move 100s of miles away
The fact that 2 of the best baseball players in history (not even an exaggeration) have wasted a majority of their careers on the same garbage team and have played in a combined 3 career playoff games (all by Trout in 2014 when he was 22 years old) - should be a crime against sports.
As a lapsed baseball fan, the drama and new generation of players this year have brought me back, baby!😂 Also, Ohtani can't make the same mistake as Mike Trout and stick around a mediocre franchise in his absolute prime.
I’ve never watched a single game of baseball in my life yet I always keep up to date with your videos! Your videos are top tier my guy, keep up the great work!
That one Yankees fan losing his shit at 8:53 brings so much joy to my soul.
For today's old timers baseball will forever be thought of as the real America's greatest pastime.
Because this season has been so wild I’ve definitely been watching a lot of baseball, the offensive madness is entertaining alone!
“The Oakland Athletics are the worst team in baseball but according to many, that is exactly what their ownership wants.”
So… this is just the plot of Major League only modernized and with less Chief Wahoo.
"You run like Mays, but you hit like Shit."
I think the A's need lasteroiddaddyhack back in their lineup. Dude hits piss missiles.
i hate to inform you, but hes kinda not real. and im glad hes not! he'll ruin the league!
I don’t know how those videos spread so far and I’m not sure why they’re as funny as they are but I love them
no shit lol@@koolkatzjoey1717
Tell me why i cant stop replaying and laughing my ass off aaron boone doing the ump impression
For videos like this is why I love baseball and no doubt about baseball is the most beautiful sport in the world, drama, action, strategy, speed, power, it has it all!!
2023 baseball season is just insane
See what happens when you introduce a pitch clock?!
this has been my first year watching baseball and it’s been…interesting. I picked the Yanks because of proxy and lollll they blow
The 2023 season patch really shook up the meta, this season is crazy. The young talent is really making the rich teams look foolish and I'm here for it, it's not pay-to-win anymore. It's so thrilling to see the O's, Rays, and my Blue Jays dominate the AL East!
this series is so hard you gotta keep doing it. i can't keep up with everything happening in the league so this is such a good way to stay informed about what to stay informed about
The Angels wasted not one, but TWO generational talents.
Why am I not surprised that Trout is hurt.....again.
Having a pitcher and batter combo and having one of the best hitters of all time is basically three generational talents wasted
Love the video... You should document Julio Rodriguez historic feat over the last week. It was insane 17 hits in 4 games 🤯
we need a julio vid
We could extend that to a rising stars vid, what with Adley Rutschman and Bobby Witt Jr being amazing as well and Franco’s questionable behavior
as always an incredible production. always enjoyed watching these and the quality has only gotten better. keep up the great work!!
What you call "out of control", I call friggin awesome. I love chaos. Especially when it's televised.
Ohtani's free agent contract is gonna be the craziest thing to ever hit an MLB team. He's gonna get paid like nobody's ever been paid, and that's assuming the team paying him is gonna be a playoff contender who's already spending on other pieces. Someones gonna be breaking the luxury tax record with the possibility of him getting injured ruining either part of his game and making him the worst albatross contract of all times. I hope the guy comes out as one of the best to ever play the game but man, what a dice roll that could turn out to be.
I think the funniest possible outcome is if he goes to an AL central team. At least he'd have good odds of making the playoffs without it feeling like he joined a superteam.
Which is why I think he'll be a free agent likely into the next season if not longer. Name a team other than the Dodgers who have the payroll to pay him and are an immediate playoff contender. Yankees are a mess and will be for a while.
@@grumbofps They've already got ads on every inch of stadium space including the grass, and now ads are infiltrating the uniform. Whichever team signs Shohei to that $600-700m contract will have to change its name to the DraftKingsApplePepsi DodgerGiants presented by TH-camTv
Ohtani should just walk into the owner's office and say "You and I are about to become partners."
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Cardinals. They have so many blown saves that if they just had the same amount as the team above them in their division, not only would they be winning their division, they'd be one of the best teams in baseball
bro how you doing these high quality animations of a sport that doesn’t even exist? teach me your ways.
This is the first MLB season I've ever watched (British guy here), and i am so glad I did. It has been wildly fascinating and entertaining. Excited to see how it all ends.
I’m a Vegas local. I hate that we are taking the team from Oakland. I wish it was an expansion instead. I feel for A’s fans
I’m beyond pissed off about the Framber Valdez situation. He got a ton of people to think it was an accident, which looked probable at the time. They like 2 days ago he hit Jose caballero in the ankle after a homerun. My bet is that he’s just mad that he was a legit Cy Young contender and now he sucks. I now realize that Marcus semien isn’t an asshole, he’s right
This is one of the best baseball videos I've ever seen. I basically have sat this year out bc the Yankees are so bad, and I seriously feel completely caught up, and I was riveted the whole time. Masterful video, fantastic edit. Great job
i remember orioles games where we bought $10 tickets and then just walked to the first base line and nobody told us to move. the state of the team is nothing short of amazing. good for them
During a sub-par season for a Cleveland, the Ramirez fight was a much needed highlight! He was already beloved in Cleveland, but now he’s a hero. Let’s go J-Ram!
Hell, your guys are only 5 and a half back😂
I think a video on the mariners and Julio would be cool because they are literally killing everyone rn
Julio just broke the 98 year old record for most hits in 4 games with 17 yesterday. The Mariners have been kicking the crap out of the Astros and going on another winning streak from the one last week and have now secured a wild card spot.
But please, let’s hear more about the White Sox.
Agreed that a video on Mariners should happened.
Cómo me encantan este canal, contenido entretenido y de calidad, justo lo que el beisbol, con todo lo que tiene para ofrecer, necesita
1:05 😐 Yeah, well that doesn't sound very athletic _to ME._
The season has gotten out of hand and I’m loving it. Total chaos!!! Enjoy
This has truly been one of the seasons of all time!
This amazing baseball channel dwarfs all others!
Ohtani is practically a cheat code, it’s just insane how consistently great he is
I don’t watch baseball or even know a single thing about it but this video was insanely entertaining to watch
I had no idea the rest of baseball was so fun, messy and interesting. 😂😂😂
The astros and rangers fighting for the division title:
The mariners after this series with the astros:😈
DOWN GOES ANDERSON !!!😂😂😂 SOUNDS LIKE A BOXING MATCH
Any one watching this 2 months later when Texas ranger and astros are in the playoffs
Rangers won😇
Love your vids keep posting bangers 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I feel like baseball is on a rise though, ever since players actually participated in the Classic
Baseball lore is so cool, hopefully one day someone actually makes it real
Nah, it’s too ridiculous. I mean, the GOAT being a debauched fat alcoholic man-child who was both a great hitter and pitcher? And a hundred years later some rando weeb comes along and does the same?
No one would believe that
So tired, not funny.
If TH-cam required commenters to be over 12 I think it'd be a better place.
I don't watch Baseball and have only been to a few games but, these are excellent for someone trying to learn about the sport and what is going on. Great work, please keep it up.
that's the spirit! it's an incredible sport. i argue with people who don't like baseball. at least you're trying!
5:20 Bro had Rickey Henderson on his side
As a rays fan. I was happy to see the A’s actually have an in person fan base and upset us that series. Can only imagine what it feels like to have to play to nobody
Being an orioles fan in 2023 is nice
And now Ohtani is injured…
