When that young fan handed to ball to the cute girls, you missed the part where he smoothly switched out the Game Ball he just caught, with the ball he already had in his Glove. He handed the girls the ball he already had, while secretly keeping the Game Ball for himself. Smooth Operator right there.
old school baseball purists will say that a bat flip is disrespectful because it’s considered showing up the pitcher. but most young fans and young players love bat flips now
@@kabirconsiders To add on to that, in the old days it'd earn you a 95+ MPH fastball right between the numbers the next time you came up to bat. It's in the unwritten rules that need to be written down and then burned. Personally, I don't care though, these guys get out 7/10 times if they're really good, let them celebrate the few times they get a home run.
The flip side to this is MLB fan interactions. There are several compilations out there, it's great to see the players having fun with the fans, giving gear to the kids, etc.
6:59 that's when the Astros got caught cheating and the pitcher for the Dodgers threw at them and taunted them after the fact. It was hilarious and brought some level of justice to the situation.
Man that Bartolo Colón behind the back flip to first base was even more impressive seeing the big guy run to grab it lol. No way I thought he'd beat out the runner.
7:26 for context, that same pitcher hit him in the face a few years back. he was out for a while. Earlier, that pitcher threw near him again. That home run was his sweet revenge.
A Willians Astudillo reaction would be cool. You wouldn't think of him as a professional athlete given he's 5 foot 9 and 225 pounds, but he's surprisingly good and is all heart. Plays literally every position, sprints around the bases and to the ball no matter what, and despite not knowing English he's a funny guy
back after finishing the vid. but even though im not into sports my self i love badass moments of all sorts sports included and this vid did NOT disappoint and i loved it. i would love to see some more :D
3:58-4:10.... Ricky Henderson (Hall of Famer) was one of the greatest athletes--- and greatest base stealer--- to ever play baseball. Hopefully you can react to his amazing highlights or career one day.
It used to be considered disrespectful and at certain times it still is but recently there's been a lot of young hype players that've came in and made it the norm. So, slowly catching up with the times. Hah
As a former pitcher, if you stood there and flipped the bat (a small bat flip is fine) back to the dugout, the next time that player gets up (if nobody was on base), I'm throwing at you. LoL.
You should check out the MLB Rewind video on Aaron Boone's Walk Off Homerun. The story of how he got to the moment of being one of the most famous Yankees of the modern era is fascinating and inspiring!
@@kabirconsiders Please put Reggie Jackson on your list for old guys such as myself. Especially the homerun he hit in an All-Star game in the early 1970's. Keep up the excellent you do in covering so many different subjects.
after that one guy with the red hat took it in the head i loved how kabir worded it: he hit a homer for revenge :D i thought that wording was pretty badass
Hey dude I don't know if you been following MLB so far this season but my Oakland A's have won 11 straight and are in first in the American League West right now!!! BTW, I just got my first of the two Covid vaccine shots.
I'm a little tired. My arm is a lifted sore. That's about it. I can't wait to get my second shot so I can start going to more baseball games! I just started going out to dine again outdoors. Last week for the first time in 16 months I went to my favorite seafood place in SF that has the best seafood cioppino in the world.
A bat flip is OK so long as it occurs soon after the swing is completed. But any lingering or admiring the ball in flight, then dramatically flipping the ball is taunting and subject to a head shot sometime in the future. In Korea it is an accepted "art form". Last year during the "rona" many American players went there while the MLB was shutdown and a problem adjusting, but soon accepted it as "fun". When I lived in Korea I went to many games (it was practically free for the military like me). The fans there and in Japan are very simila......a big party.
Tossing the bat is a taunt. Tecehnically a player is not supposed to throw it or toss it, but just drop it. In recent years, it has become like spiking the ball in football and umpires have statted allowing it. Until about ten years ago, it was rare. Players used to just stand and watch the ball land in the seats before they would strate running the bases. .
The hardest thing to do, in all of sports, is hit a major league pitch. To be a successful hitter, they have to have such amazing eyesight that they can pick up the way the laces are spinning on the ball. Then, they have a fraction of a second to make up their mind to swing. Then, they have to be strong enough to get the bat moving, and through the strike zone before the ball gets passed them.
Batflips, staring down a homerun, not running fast enough around the bases after hitting one, these, and many other things could mean a fastball coming towards your head next at bat. Jose Battista "showed up" the Rangers at the end of one season, and the first time the teams played the next season there was a bench clearing brawl. It is stupid, but that is baseball.
5:51 Ah, good ol' "Sweet" Lou Piniella. I think I've said it before, but nobody does ejections quite like Lou Piniella. 6:05 This was during the A's-Mariners season-opening series a couple years ago that was Ichiro Suzuki's swansong. Also, funny that it's in the Tokyo Dome, the home field of the Yomiuri Giants (who I absolutely despise, being a Hanshin Tigers fan [the rivalry between the Hanshin Tigers and Yomiuri Giants is the biggest in Japanese baseball, and rivals the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry in the MLB]), but the Mariners are the home team here, and I've been a fan ("true to the blue", as the Mariners say in ads) since the "death star" days of the late 90s (literally, four postseason appearances in franchise history, all within seven seasons from 1995-2001 [1995, 1997, 2000, and 2001]). In Japan, they (more specifically, the Hanshin Tigers) have what's known as the "Curse of the Colonel" (much like the Boston Red Sox' "Curse of the Bambino", or the Chicago Cubs' "Curse of the Billy Goat"). The Food Theorists did a video about the Curse of the Colonel, called "Food Theory: KFC and the Curse of Colonel Sanders". 10:19 Yes, bat flips are seen as disrespectful. They're boastful, like "yeah, I just hit your shit outta here". A 1-year-old fan at a Philadelphia Phillies game tried to eat Mickey Moniak's first major league home run ball. His older brother caught it, gave it to him, and then he did what all 1-year-olds do, and tried to put it in his mouth. And, because it's customary for players to keep their first home run ball, the family struck a deal with Moniak and the Phillies that allowed Moniak to keep his first home run ball while the family got a care package from the Phillies, including some merch about their mascot, the Philly Phanatic. You NEED to watch a video of it, it's just the cutest thing to happen at a baseball game since the "Cotton Candy Girl" at a Mariners game. In 2006, in honor of the Mariners' 30th season, longtime Mariners announcer, Dave Niehaus (RIP) made a top 10 video of great Mariners moments. Someone uploaded it to TH-cam in 2010. It's simply called "Dave Niehaus Top 10 Mariners Moments".
Lou was definitely a strong candidate for best ejections, but id have to give a slight edge (and yes im biased as an Os fan) to Earl Weaver, no one lost their temper like Earl
5:16 Hidden ball trick: He already bought a spare one in his pocket beforehand, so he gave the spare one and kept the one he caught. Cheeky, but nobody knows any better.
Baseball is old fashioned, there’s a lot of unwritten rules and etiquette players are expected to abide by. Bat flips are considered disrespectful. In American baseball. I don’t think it’s the same in Japan. Just a FYI, baseball is huge in Japan. It was really their first team sport. Before baseball they played solo sports.
if you react to Japanese baseball, react to the Koshien, its like march madness but for Japanese highschool baseball. Its very popular there and has some cool traditions
2:43 Unlike cricket, where you must throw the ball back no matter what as they are re-used, he just threw it because the ball was hit by an away team, and he was livid.
30 years ago and before, flipping your bat after hitting a home run would get you a fastball around your chin next time up. St. Louis Cardinals great Bob Gibson definitely threw at batters he thought showed him up. Gibson was also 6 feet, 6 inches tall & 235 pounds.
Batters have to be careful about being too over the top with their celebrations, batflips, and watching the baseball when they hit homeruns. I am not a fan of it, but baseball might be the sport with the most "unwritten rules" that govern how players should act. If you show up the other team too much they are likely to hit you with a pitch on purpose the next time they come up to bat. You should do a video reacting to "The Unwritten Rules of Baseball" especially if it actually explains the unwritten rules and not just a compilation of players getting upset when one of them is broken. 7:50 is a good example, you can see the catcher immediately take offense to the batter 5:10 the kid actually did keep the ball. He had his own ball for some reason, and when he caught the foul ball he gave the girls the ball he already had 6:07 The A's and Mariners started the 2019 season in this clip in Japan both to promote MLB in Japan and also because Ichiro, one of the legendary players on the Mariners, was retiring after the two games (weird to retire 2 games into the season but worth it because of how revered he is in Japan, words do not do justice just how much the country loves him). I would encourage reacting to stuff about baseball in Japan, it is the most popular sport there but people in the US actually know very little about the culture of baseball in Japan. th-cam.com/video/O9FK_4w-COE/w-d-xo.html is a good video to start with, big youtuber who's channel is all about going to various games (and trying to get as many balls hit into the crowd as he can, not a fan of that part) goes to his first Japanese baseball game in the legendary Koshien Stadium. The way the crowd acts at games is very different in Japan compared to the US. I have just started to get into baseball in Japan myself, would really like to see you react as well. To help you search Japanese baseball, their pro league is called Nippon Professional Baseball or NPB. There are lots of videos of people going to their first Japanese game and most of them go over the differences between baseball in Japan and the US. But even more than the NPB I would look up videos about what is Japan's most watched sporting event of the year, the Summer Koshien, which is the tournament to crown Japan's High School national champions of the year, held in the stadium of the video I posted earlier.
10:22 Some pitchers def. consider it disrespectful to do any sort of showboating like the bat flips and some of the other things that occurred in this video. Pitchers will sometimes respond by later throwing the ball at the batter on purpose. This has changed with time though...its def. more acceptable to show boat in today's game than it was 20-30 years ago.
You should react to Ken Griffey Jr. highlights!! My favorite player and played on my favorite team for years(Cincinnati Reds), he’s the GOAT of baseball in my opinion
Yes it's considered disrespectful ,its show boating and it shows up.the pitcher, that's why you saw the catcher get mad. But it's becoming more acceptable
It’s a sport with incredible highlights but a horribly slow game pace, thankfully MLB have been trying to speed up the game but I’m still struggling to get into it
You mentioned that hitting a baseball is probably difficult. Well yes, a round bat hitting a round ball. The ball coming in at up to 102mph and spinning, moving, breaking up or down and breaking to the left or right.
A bat flip is the ultimate sign of disrespect.... and it justifies a pitcher intentionally throwing at a batter's head the next time they are at the plate
Yes, flipping the bat is considered "showing up" the pitcher. There are a lot of unwritten rules in baseball involving showing respect for your opponent. On one hand, I agree that good sportsmanship should be encouraged in all sports but on the other hand, it's a game-they should have a little fun.
Just an FYI, headshots are 99% of the time intentional. A pitchers mistake is clipping an elbow, cathing a guy in the arm, side or hip. But the head is so far out of the strike zone it's almost always on purpose. Why? Sometimes strategy, it may be an attempt to rattle a guy. It may be to avenge a slight, or it may be because you just don't like the SOB. Major bench clearing brawls have occurred from headshots or even worse, throwing BEHIND the batter. Think about it, even the crappiest major league pitcher has ball control so far beyond the average human it's unreal. Headshots are a message.
Flipping your bat is a bit of a weird thing. It's seen as disrespectful... sometimes. It all depends on who is doing the flipping and what the situation of the game is. Generally, if it's a big rivalry flipping a bat can lead to bench clearing brawls, so it's probably not a good idea. Hitting a baseball is the single most difficult thing to do in sports, and this isn't just me saying it. That's a generally accepted fact among fans of all sports and people that know way more than I do about such things. When they make perfect contact, it's one of the sweetest sounds in the world. I hate seeing guys take a ball to the face though. Having been hit in the head by both a thrown and batted ball in the past, I can tell you it isn't fun. Makes my spine crawl every time I see it.
Can you please react to, 10 Reasons Not to Move to Miami Florida, by From Here to There. The video just came out this week and some good information about the place in there.
Bat flips are considered disrespectful, depending on who you ask. Lol. I don’t personally like them, i don’t see it as being a good sportsman. But to each their own
@@kabirconsiders yes, it can be seen as disrespectful, but where they are playing and what has happened before in the game sometimes influences the reaction. Also, standing at home plate for a long count after hitting a home run is seen the same way
When Bautista flipped his bat against the Rangers that (and his attitude in general plus trying to take one of the players out) is why in a game the next year he got punched in the face. He deserved it!
Dont ever take advice from anyone that says baseball players arent tough. Those ppl never took a short hop to the face or been hit in the bones by a 90 mph fastball.
Doing any of the following is totally disrespectful when you hit a home run 1. flipping your bat, 2. staring down the pitcher 3. running very slowly around the bases, 4. any celebrating while running around the bases (unless your home run ends a game.) 5. talking trash to the pitcher or catcher. These transgression must be avenged at some point in the future, (of the pitchers choosing.) Expect a fastball in the ribs, or back {not the thigh or arm bcuz they don't hurt enough), a fastball under the chin that doesn't hit you but causes you to dive out of the way. This settles an old score. Baseball has it protocols (commandments) and there are consequences for breaking them.⚾⚾⚾ Players learn these rules at a young age and they are very rarely broken. Standing in that batters box is intimidating enough when the pitcher can throw 95 mph. If he also has a personal score to settle with you, look out!!! Baseball players (especially pitchers) have long memories. 😝😝😝😝
Baseball has "unwritten rules" that are usually only enforced by a team that's butthurt about losing. I get showing some respect and sportsmanship, but any remote slight will piss off some players and teams whose egos can't handle being shown up.
This video is incomplete and tragically devoid of Albert Belle's bad ass moments leveling a 2nd baseman and refusing to take first after being hit by a pitch. Watch those clips lol.
They showed so many Bautista David Ortiz and Albert Pujols home runs in didn't show not one Miguel Cabrera who is one of the best hitters of all time just like them and in terms of Batista he's better than Batista
If you really want to see bad ass baseball clips, look up Nolan Ryan and Robin Ventura, and then just Bo Jackson highlights. There’s more bad ass in those two google searches than there is in this entire video.
The old farts get all uptight about bat flips, but I have no issue with it. It's one of the hardest things to do in sports...hitting a baseball. And you aren't supposed to celebrate??? Everyone else on the field can pump it up when they make a good play, but all the poor pitchers get their feelings hurt when a guy throws his bat.
When that young fan handed to ball to the cute girls, you missed the part where he smoothly switched out the Game Ball he just caught, with the ball he already had in his Glove.

It’s the best sound in sports when a ball and wood meets at the perfect time

I remember people complaining about the Bautista flip, like calm down it was a great moment.
I see, thanks for answering my question mate. I don’t see it as disrespectful to be honest, just a bit of showmanship from the guys
@@kabirconsiders I think a lot of the celebrations in modern sport would be considered disrespectful 100 years ago. Especially NFL!
It’s like the Gronk spike but MLB
@@kabirconsiders To add on to that, in the old days it'd earn you a 95+ MPH fastball right between the numbers the next time you came up to bat.

The flip side to this is MLB fan interactions. There are several compilations out there, it's great to see the players having fun with the fans, giving gear to the kids, etc.
For sure, athletes interacting with the fans is awesome to see. It doesn’t cost the athletes anything but the fans remember it forever
That Henderson bat flip is Legendary.
A very cool moment, I bet it triggered a few people on the crowd though 😂
6:59 that's when the Astros got caught cheating and the pitcher for the Dodgers threw at them and taunted them after the fact. It was hilarious and brought some level of justice to the situation.
Ahh I see, thanks for letting me know!
Yeah cause it’s mature to hit someone in the head with a hard solid object
@@rp3569 he didn't hit anyone in the head
@@rp3569 next time don’t cheat.
Lol, no
I like to think I'm more of a "purist" with baseball, but batflips are one of my favorite parts of the game, straight up swagger
Man that Bartolo Colón behind the back flip to first base was even more impressive seeing the big guy run to grab it lol. No way I thought he'd beat out the runner.
he was just wanting to go sit down on the bench
My man Big Sexy! Love Colon!
7:26 for context, that same pitcher hit him in the face a few years back. he was out for a while. Earlier, that pitcher threw near him again. That home run was his sweet revenge.
I love stories like this, sweet revenge
I’m not gonna lie, baseball players are hella smooth.
Very, they have style

Probably because he did that to the astros who didn't get any suspensions from their cheating
It depends on the situation if a bat flip is disrespectful or not.
You mentioned that hitting a baseball is probably difficult. Well yes, a round bat hitting a round ball. The ball coming in at up to 102mph and spinning, moving, breaking up or down and breaking to the left or right.
Yeah, has to be one of the hardest things to do in all sports
A bat flip is the ultimate sign of disrespect.... and it justifies a pitcher intentionally throwing at a batter's head the next time they are at the plate
8:56 Possibly why the MLB is proposing to move the mound back by a foot either late this season or next season.
Whoever made this compilation left out Amir Garrett taking on an entire team.
Yes, flipping the bat is considered "showing up" the pitcher. There are a lot of unwritten rules in baseball involving showing respect for your opponent. On one hand, I agree that good sportsmanship should be encouraged in all sports but on the other hand, it's a game-they should have a little fun.
Nice.
Thanks mate :)
Just an FYI, headshots are 99% of the time intentional.
A pitchers mistake is clipping an elbow, cathing a guy in the arm, side or hip. But the head is so far out of the strike zone it's almost always on purpose.
Why?
Sometimes strategy, it may be an attempt to rattle a guy. It may be to avenge a slight, or it may be because you just don't like the SOB.
Major bench clearing brawls have occurred from headshots or even worse, throwing BEHIND the batter.
Think about it, even the crappiest major league pitcher has ball control so far beyond the average human it's unreal.
Headshots are a message.
The boy that gave the girls a ball switched the game ball for another he already had. Check this video. th-cam.com/video/8cQruSrslSU/w-d-xo.html
Smart kid!
You saved me the trouble, thanks.
I love it when guys pimp their homeruns. F the old rules, have fun. It was funny when Odor rocked Battista though.
Agreed, they hit a homer they should be allowed to enjoy the moment!
Flipping your bat is a bit of a weird thing. It's seen as disrespectful... sometimes. It all depends on who is doing the flipping and what the situation of the game is. Generally, if it's a big rivalry flipping a bat can lead to bench clearing brawls, so it's probably not a good idea.
Hitting a baseball is the single most difficult thing to do in sports, and this isn't just me saying it. That's a generally accepted fact among fans of all sports and people that know way more than I do about such things. When they make perfect contact, it's one of the sweetest sounds in the world. I hate seeing guys take a ball to the face though. Having been hit in the head by both a thrown and batted ball in the past, I can tell you it isn't fun. Makes my spine crawl every time I see it.
Can you please react to, 10 Reasons Not to Move to Miami Florida, by From Here to There. The video just came out this week and some good information about the place in there.
Bat flips are considered disrespectful, depending on who you ask. Lol. I don’t personally like them, i don’t see it as being a good sportsman. But to each their own
They might not take too kind to you flipping the bat while playing on the road, especially against a rival in their stadium.
Is bat flipping seen as disrespectful?
@@kabirconsiders Yes, a bat flip is considered grounds for a retaliatory beaning, especially if the player is not an established player.
@@kabirconsiders Yes
@@kabirconsiders yes, it can be seen as disrespectful, but where they are playing and what has happened before in the game sometimes influences the reaction. Also, standing at home plate for a long count after hitting a home run is seen the same way
Hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports.
When Bautista flipped his bat against the Rangers that (and his attitude in general plus trying to take one of the players out) is why in a game the next year he got punched in the face. He deserved it!
That casual guy is David Ortiz, should react to him.
I'll put him on my list!
Dont ever take advice from anyone that says baseball players arent tough. Those ppl never took a short hop to the face or been hit in the bones by a 90 mph fastball.
Very true, when that ball is hit it can go anywhere, and it’s moving bloody fast!
The mlb sesone is going on right now if you want to watch it
I’ll definitely start reacting to game highlights now I’m moving my reactions indoors
@@kabirconsiders just so you know it has just started so you have not missed much
@@kabirconsiders check out the MLB channel on TH-cam. They've started streaming a live game there a week
A amazing anime you should check out is Hajime No Ippo it's a boxing anime. Alot of awesome fight scenes to react to.
6:06 Was it on Ichiro's retirement game?
Dear youtube. I'm not installing the chime app or playing candy crush saga. Sincerely,
Everyone
😂😂
I like bat flips, but the batters are being a little bit conservative nowadays because pitchers doesn't like it.
3:32 Center Field wall.
If you want to see a great young talent, you should check out Ronald Acuña Jr.
I’ll put him on my list!
I’m not sure those guys who get hit in the head should just be getting up and jogging to first base.
Yeah they should probably go for a head injury assessment
@@kabirconsiders parts of his brain matter did fall out btw
Doing any of the following is totally disrespectful when you hit a home run 1. flipping your bat, 2. staring down the pitcher 3. running very slowly around the bases, 4. any celebrating while running around the bases (unless your home run ends a game.) 5. talking trash to the pitcher or catcher. These transgression must be avenged at some point in the future, (of the pitchers choosing.) Expect a fastball in the ribs, or back {not the thigh or arm bcuz they don't hurt enough), a fastball under the chin that doesn't hit you but causes you to dive out of the way. This settles an old score.
Baseball has it protocols (commandments) and there are consequences for breaking them.⚾⚾⚾
Players learn these rules at a young age and they are very rarely broken. Standing in that batters box is intimidating enough when the pitcher can throw 95 mph. If he also has a personal score to settle with you, look out!!! Baseball players (especially pitchers) have long memories. 😝😝😝😝
Baseball has "unwritten rules" that are usually only enforced by a team that's butthurt about losing. I get showing some respect and sportsmanship, but any remote slight will piss off some players and teams whose egos can't handle being shown up.
I need to put an unwritten baseball rules vid on my list!
Best game. You Brits love soccer, this is better. Period.
Bro, please react to the American Eye channel's video on Best Baseball Stadiums in the US.
This video is incomplete and tragically devoid of Albert Belle's bad ass moments leveling a 2nd baseman and refusing to take first after being hit by a pitch. Watch those clips lol.
No, unwritten rule; don’t showboat a ding. Next batter will get drilled.
They showed so many Bautista David Ortiz and Albert Pujols home runs in didn't show not one Miguel Cabrera who is one of the best hitters of all time just like them and in terms of Batista he's better than Batista
Please at least look up Jomboy breakdowns, even if you don’t react. They’re great
I'll put some of his vids on my list!
I get upset when people call baseball a pussy sport cause it just isn't
If you really want to see bad ass baseball clips, look up Nolan Ryan and Robin Ventura, and then just Bo Jackson highlights. There’s more bad ass in those two google searches than there is in this entire video.
Get your head wrapped around this...The best hitters in the game are only successful one third of the time.
That’s crazy, just shows how insanely difficult it is!
Revenge is a sin
Revenge is bad
The old farts get all uptight about bat flips, but I have no issue with it. It's one of the hardest things to do in sports...hitting a baseball. And you aren't supposed to celebrate??? Everyone else on the field can pump it up when they make a good play, but all the poor pitchers get their feelings hurt when a guy throws his bat.
It's more disrespectful to watch it go out that flip the bat
The Joe Kelly thing is not a "Badass moment" but ok
Baseball. Tge American past time.
Dont use God’s name in vain
