- British Cricket fan reacts to game 6 of the '22 Baseball World Series
Thanks to everyone who has liked, commented and subscribed. I've really enjoyed watching the highlight of last years World Series & learning about Baseball.
If you know of a video you'd like me to react to please leave details in the comments.
And please share and ask your friends to like & subscribe & help get me to a game!!!
Thanks again!
Original video.... • Phillies vs. Astros Wo...
6:09 0 for 18 means that in his last 18 turns hitting, he had gotten 0 hits. So this was a big hit for him personally since he had not been batting well recently.
when they spoke of "Dusty Baker finally has his ring"..it means the manager finally wins his first world series as a coach. He was close with all the other teams that he coached but always fell short.
The crowd atmosphere in these postseason games is supercharged, but during the regular season the intensity can vary, and many are not close to sold out. A typical game includes a dozen moments of action and excitement and plenty of time to talk to your friends. It can resemble a picnic atmosphere, a tailgate party, or a pub, plus amplified music and noise to try to hype up the home team's fans.
Let’s go World Series champs Houston Astros.
Go Stros!!!

2nd title in 6 years
2016, 2017, & 2019 world series are very exciting series to watch
I am surprised that no one has mentioned that the Cardinals and Cubs will be playing 2 games in London on June 23 & 24 as part of MLB trying to expand the sport in new markets. Something you might want to attend so you don't have to travel to the US to see a baseball game.
In the past the Red Sox played the Yankees at the London Stadium/Olympics... If the British desire to buy baseball gloves, aluminum bats, and baseballs, that kit is sold at the PX at RAF Lakenheath where the USAF bases fighters for NATO... You may have to bribe an American based there to get the goods... And if you desire to learn baseball fundamentals from hitting, throwing, catching, and pitching, watch a game there even at the Little League level... There are numerous videos on the internet showing baseball fundamentals, basic rules, etc. available to watch as well...Highlight reels don't reveal basic fundamentals...
I saw another comment recommending the 2016 World Series and the 2004 ALCS as your next set of games to react to. I couldn’t agree more. Ken Burns’ Baseball is definitely a must-watch too. Also, a little personal recommendation from me is “How to score 10 runs in the first inning and lose” by Secret Base. That video really gives you a taste of just how inherently chaotic baseball is.
12:10 Players and coaches on a team that wins the World Series receive an expensive ring as a personal trophy. So saying that someone “gets a ring” or “has three rings” just refers to them winning championships. Dusty Baker played many years in the league as a hitter and won the world series once. After he finished his playing career, he has managed many successful teams for many years, but they had all failed to win a World Series, sometimes in dramatically disappointing fashion. He is very well-liked by people all around the league, so even though many people do not like the Astros, they were happy for Dusty to finally win a championship as a manager.
Ah, so the ring is the same as a medal.
Very cool to see a cricket fan getting interested in baseball. As a Houston fan, born and raised, you're more than welcome to come down for a series of games. I highly recommend you check out pitching ninja's youtube channel, he highlights all the best pitchers throughout the entire league. He breaks down how the batter sees the pitches and shows overlays of how all the pitches move.
I don’t know how far away you are from London but there’s a sports bars, 3 separate locations, that play all American sports; “Passyunk Avenue”. It’s a Philadelphia themed sports bar but will play any sports game. They also own a batting cage (practice hitting baseballs) & pub.
I'm a fair way away from London in North Norfolk (middle of no-where!) But I'd love to have a go in a batting cage!
'''What do I do when its over?" That is my complaint every September. Good thing I am an Astros fan, the season is longer.
This was very cool hearing this a Brit
At 8:24 is just a bat weight for the hitters warming up.
When the guy on the Phillies held his bat straight, he was attempting to lay down a bunt. The problem here was he already had 2 strikes on his count and attempting an unsuccessful bunt with 2 strikes is an automatic out. He is some of their better hitters so it was kind of odd to everybody why Schwarber tried to bunt there. Many say that was basically Philly waving the white flag. The Astros have one of the best pitching staffs in all of baseball so they were trying anything to get on base.
Thanks, I wondered what it was, that makes sense now!
That at bat was one of the most talked about and most criticized of the series. Most people were saying, "What they heck is he doing???" IMO it was a bonehead decision. The risks were just too high for any possible reward. At best you get on first base. At worse, exactly what happened. He didn't get beaten by the pitcher, he beat himself and self-inflicted mistakes are a no-no in any sport. Make the other team beat you, don't beat yourself. Overall it was a great series and the Phillies did well. But that play was really bad. Especially for a good hitter.
8:25 often while in taking practice swings a player will put a weight on their bat to make it heavier. that way, when he gets up to hit and takes the weight off, the bat feels lighter
There are tons of baseball videos you can react to
longest homeruns
best infield outfield throws/catches
and so on.
FYI, there are Twitter accounts for nearly all 30 MLB teams that are run by fans of those team in the UK.
As an Astros fan, AstrosFansUK for example caters to the Astros fans that live in the UK. They will tweet out the times the games start in the UK and occasionally post about bars or pubs that show the Astros on TV so that way they can watch them live. Certainly something to look into if you want to learn more about baseball and get to know the fanbases that support them across the pond.
Thanks for the info, do you know if any of the TV channels in UK show the games?
@@Cleophas-tl7ic I don't live in the UK so I wouldn't know. From searching online, it the only way to watch MLB games is through MLB TV service or through BT Sports.
I follow AstrosFansUK. So much love for the sport and the team.
Bro deserves like 10 billion subs this is amazing content
Houston, my hometown, is a great baseball atmosphere. Best games are against the Angels, Rangers, Dodgers and Yankees. Those often get the most fans and when it's a walk-off (winning hit) the stadium goes balistic with cheers.
Loved watching the videos! Hopefully you can come to a game here; I got to go to game 6 for my birthday and it was AMAZING. You'd love the atmosphere it's truly one of a kind
The games in London are the St. Louis Cardinals versus the Chicago cubs. It’s the biggest rivalry in baseball
loved this reaction series. One of the great world series of all time is the 2016 one between the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians. Chicago hadn't won a world series since 1908 (and made one since 1945!) while Cleveland hadn't won since 1948, the two largest droughts in the sport. Those two great, loyal, dedicated fan bases got rewarded with not only one of the best series of all time, but probably the greatest last game of a series in history.
The Chicago Cubs will play their historical rival the St. Louis Cardinals in London on the 23rd and 24th of June by the way, don't know if that's an easy trip from where you're at
Thanks, I'm hoping to go to one of the games in June & hopefully do a vlog about it as well
As far as what to look into next...
“Baseball” by Ken Burns is a great documentary series if you want to learn about the history of the game. It’s a good way to get an overview of how the game developed as well as important players and teams from the past that you might hear referenced.
Pitching Ninja is a great account for learning about how pitchers hold the ball for different pitches, as well as different strategies that they use to get batters out. Searching “pitching ninja grips” should give you plenty of options.
Looking forward to videos on choosing a team to root for! What sorts of qualities would make a team a more or less attractive option for you to support?
Thanks, I'll check those out.
It's hard to say really, especially not knowing much about the various teams, but it would be nice to have some sort of 'connection' to a particular team if that makes sense
@@Cleophas-tl7ic Definitely! The star player for the Great Britain team in the WBC will be Jazz Chisholm, who plays for the Miami Marlins, so that might be one team to consider. It must be an interesting experience getting to take time to figure out who you want to support. Since I'm from Houston, rooting for the Astros was such a natural thing that I never even thought to root for anyone else.
@@Cleophas-tl7ic Its best to follow one team, just like any other sport... Rooting for one team is vital, you have to commit to enjoy any game as a fan.
Another great thing for you to watch is this channel called quick question. They answer and five into many different baseball topics and baseball’s history, many people have done reactions of their videos, I think it would be very interesting for you hear what they have.
Thanks, I'll check it out
I want to watch a game with this guy and teach him all the rules/expressions that are happening.
“Why did he hold the bat like that?!”….
Because desperation had set in.. lol..
Check out the World Baseball Classic in March of this year. A new tournament that's growing fast, its a basically a baseball world cup
I second this. It's some fun baseball.
i was honestly a little bewildered when the orioles traded mancini. he's a good dude and i love that he got to participate in winning. the orioles traded one of their best players and he almost won the world series without even being on the field for it. that guy deserved to win that ring.
i say that completely forgetting that boston traded VAZQUEZ! vazquez got a ring, mancini, diaz! those guys had one heck of a year. i know diaz was on the team all year, but he was good on toronto and i'm more than happy to see him prosper.
Baseball is the finest sport to be played in the US, IMHO. Good luck getting here to catch a game!
Hey man, really happy that you’re taking an interest in this beautiful game! I’ve actually started watching cricket, I like it quite a bit. If you’re interested in watching more baseball, I would recommend division 1 college baseball, which just started this weekend, as well as the World Baseball Classic, which is in about 3 weeks. Both are great products and excellent substitutes before the MLB regular season starts!
Now that you've finished the World Series, maybe you could go back and react to the entire 2022 post season? Or at least both the Astros and Phillies post seasons that got them to the World Series.
And best of luck on your goal to go a game here in the states one day! It really is a great experience!!
The NL Games were more exciting & great baseball. But maybe he’d wants to watch the scoreless 50 inning marathon? Haha
@jaime aniloff The NL games were more competitive and exciting but I'm a stros fan so I was more invested in the AL.
That 18 inning marathon was torture until that last inning!
And while the ALCS wasn't exactly 'exciting' it was still entertaining. The Yankees blaming the wind/roof after game 2, Cole saying "I got you" to his outfielders after the misplay only to immediately give up a hr and Pena's hr highlight in game 4 still Crack me up!
(Sorry Yankee fans)
Astros fan? So you only had to sweat for the marathon game?! I’m a Phillies fan and this whole postseason was a heart attack waiting to happen!! Haha
Congratulations on the win!!
Boone blaming the roof has got to go down as the dumbest comment/excuse! I was actually more embarrassed for that excuse than his guys getting a beat down from the stro’s! 😂
@@lovesgucci1 that was a huge misstep by Boone. Those are the excuses the fans and the sports pundits are supposed to give. Not anyone from the team. Had none of them mentioned it I'm sure the media and fans would have done it for them.
You should watch some of the other playoff series from this season. There were some really good ones. Or you can watch some historically great series like 2004 ALCS or, more recently, the 2016 WS.
Loving your videos so far, it would make my day to see you react to my favorite sport, disc golf. Cheers from Texas.
8:38 it is called a batting weight they come in different sizes and you use them to help make the bat heavier so that when you swing in your at bat the bat feels lighter and maybe gain a little bat speed.
What has been called "The Greatest Baseball game ever played" is the 2017 World Series game 5: Astros vs Dodgers. Also,, I too came to baseball later in life, but as an American had been exposed and played a little, just was not a fan. Do yourself a favor and buy a copy of The Dickson Baseball Dictionary 3rd Edition. My second year of baseball, the dictionary was constantly referenced for the slang and terminology. (It is out of print. You will have to order on line or get a bookstore to do it for you.)
As someone who grew up around houston . You need to support the 'stros
there's entire MLB games people upload to youtube you can watch.
Thanks, I'll have a look.
@@Cleophas-tl7ic Just type "mlb full games" in the search window same for NBA NHL and NFL and plenty of college games too.
That was great to watch you react to an entire series. As you asked questions I would yell back at my screen as if you could hear me. LOL! One of the interesting things about these highlights was the fact the editor used both the radio announcers from Philadelphia and Houston. So you were getting their enthusiastic and emotional coverage of the games. Also, you heard a lot of colloquialisms from them. Since baseball is a game that has been played since the 1850s the players have created their own language for different moments and those get passed on to all of us through the announcers (some who were former players and managers). K = strike out, jak = Home run, little looper - a hit into the outfield that lands in front of the outfielder. Meat = young player.... There are so many that I'm sure books are written on it. Lastly, would love to see you react to some of the best of videos on the game. Many are available for you to react to. Me personally, I have been a San Francisco Giants fan since I could walk going to games with my dad. Now I'm in my 50's and got to finally see my Giants win a World Series in 2010. It was a lifelong dream. Then they did it again in 2012 and 2014. These were moments I got to share with my kids who got to experience to joy of baseball.
The Houston Astros. Baseballs current dynasty
It's fun watching you guess what these terms mean!
As for the atmosphere, be careful which game and time of year you go to. These are World Series games, not regular season games, so they are the biggest ones. You won't typically see a crowd like this or crazy, electric environment in a regular game. Choose carefully so you can find a good experience. However, I would recommend that you attend an American college football game. You'll have a much crazier, amazing environment with larger crowds and more nonstop action. Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge on a Saturday night vs a rival is always a good pick. Perhaps you should watch the 2020 college football playoff games on your TH-cam channel to get an idea of what they're like. Football is a bigger sport than baseball and has been for a while, but college football is definitely the craziest.
The Cards vs Cubs series in London is between rivals that is always a sell out at their home parks with intense fan support and loudness. Not so sure the British crowd will give you the same excitement.
Flying or sailing to the States to watch a baseball game is a very expensive trip. I suggest Lakenheath Base east of Cambridge and watch the American’s play an amateur game, most likely little league, where you can ask family members lots of questions and get answers as the games are played. One afternoon of little league baseball will teach you much.
Of course, finding someone to escort you onto the base at the proper time will be the difficult task. But you should not find it difficult to meet local British working on the base at their local pubs. Money saved = thousands of British pounds.
world series championship ring. that's a pretty cool ring.
No one had ever hit a HR over that batter's eye and into the bar before Alvarez did it with that 3 run shot. Richie Sexton of the Brewers hit one near there and about the same height when the ballpark was still in its first outfield configuration with a hill in center field and the aforementioned flagpole Sexton's ball hit - which would have been a HR if it hadn't hit the pole. He got a triple because he thought it was a HR and jogged the bases until he saw the ball coming back in. I actually talked to then Astros 3rd baseman, Geoff Blum, (now the Astros TV color analyst) and he said Sexton was really pissed off.
That is a weight on the batter's bat. Helps with practising swinging awaiting your turn to get into the batters box.
10:38 so what he is trying to do this is bunt but if you do that and the ball fouls off and you already have 2 strikes you are then out. Also intresting thing about that split finger fastball pitcher is the Phillies was his former team. 8:20 this is what we call a mound visit basically there is a certain amount you can have of this per pitcher but typically if it is that big and it has the manager out there either A its an injury, B a fight is breaking out, or C the pitcher is getting benched which is the most common and that is what they did there calling another pitcher or a reliever to close that inning out from the bullpen. 12:20 so what they mean by ring is when a team wins the AL, NL, or WS they get a ring to celebrate it of course if you win the AL and then win the World Series in that same playoff run then you just get a World Series ring. Dusty Baker had gotten over 2,000+ wins as a manager but one thing he didn't do until now was win the World Series as a manager he tried with many teams and got close with a few but until 2022 he was unable to get that World Series win.
I've seen Alverez hit the jumbo tv in left field before.
If you see a game, try to go to a Red Sox/Yankees game in Fenway Park in Boston. Most important and storied rivalry in the sport and the oldest and most historic stadium in the league.
2017 world series was very good you should react to it
I'll add some context to the results of this game as well. Our(Astros) catcher was playing with a broken bone in his throwing hand since Aug 28th, and our third baseman broke his finger in this game. If it had gone to a 7th game, neither of them were likely to play. It would have been much harder for the Astros to win that game.
Also our first baseman Gurriel was out from a knee injury which is why Mancini was there. Altuve (second baseman) had an injured hamstring as well. Probably from trying to steal a base. Thank god we clinched it in game 6. Our guys were beat up trying to get this championship. 🧡
Of course, I would recommend going to a game in Houston. Texas hospitality is a real thing.
Thank you for sharing these videos. Ive been an Astros fan since the mid 80's and I can remember watching the games everyday with my Grandpa growing up. I would ask him the very same type of questions you were about the rules and the terminology. I hope you get to go see a game live. I reccomend night games that have fireworks scheduled after. MLB games are bigger than basketball and about as big as football games as far as attendance goes. Average MLB stadium will hold about 45,000 fans. Just dont go in the middle of summer, those games can be hot and the teams are in the middle of a 162 game schedule. The games pick up in action and intensity towards September when teams are pushing for the playoffs. Feel free to ask about any of the rules and espescially the rivalry and drama around the games too. That adds alot of context to these types of highlights and how special we see them as. Cheers!
There is just one last game you need to react to: Game 5 of the 2017 World Series.
There’s a highlight video by “SonnyMCG”. That’s the best one. It would be awesome to see your reaction on video, but you just need to see it, period. It’s considered the greatest baseball game ever played.
how about game 7 2016?
@@llamabaseball sadly that isn’t the greatest baseball game ever played!
@@mike-0451 if you consider the circumstances it is
@@llamabaseball If I eat a sandwich on Groundhog Day does that make it special?
@@mike-0451 gsme 7 was incredible regardless of the two teams playing, it was just even more special because it was the two teams with the longest droughts and the cubs had just come back 3-1. The drama was incredible. Game 5 of 2017 was a crazy back and forth slugfest (with some crazy juiced balls I’ll add) but come on now
The split fingered fastball tends to dive at the end from the backspin. You get less movement on faster pitches, but the split finger is not much slower than a typical 4-seam fastball (how you hold it). There are plenty of youtube videos on the different pitches, how they move, and how to throw them, though doing it is far more difficult than understanding it. Enjoyed seeing your reaction, thanks. I'm a Houston fan, so this was glorious for me, but a lot of respect to the Phillies -- classy group of guys, and could have easily gone the other way if the Astros played more like they did against the Braves or if Phillies didn't have that little slump period starting in game 5. You can watch the playoff championship runs of previous teams-- the 2017 Astros run was great, and the Phillies recently had a world series win with a dramatic lead-up, etc.. Hope you get to enjoy a game -- if you happen to come see the Astros, get you some good bbq and /or fajitas. I recently set about learning what the HELL cricket was about with the hopping over the wall and back and the sticks, etc, so I know how it feels, lol. Cheers!
Really enjoyed you watching these highlights
At 10:51 he "bunted". Why would he bunt in that situation? It was probably due to the fielder's position. It's possible to catch the fielder's off guard and get a sneaky hit like that. It's used if the hitter's extremely fast.
6:00 "0 for 18" means that in his last 18 at bats, he has no hits.
That makes sense, I was trying to work out how they could get to the world series with no wins & 18 loses!
@@Cleophas-tl7ic and 0 for 18 is very bad.
Support Boston.
It’s the most historic franchise; only our biggest rival (NY Yankees) are comparable.
We also have the crown jewel of all ballparks. It’s like going back in time 100 years, simply walking in the Ballpark; it’s the oldest pro ballfield in the MLB. Only Wrigley field in Chicago comes close.
If you want to learn the basics of pitching the MLB TH-cam channel has a "Quick Question" video explaining the different types of pitches, I recommend that one!!
1:02 if you get to one of those games, could you do some kind of vlog?
If I do (& I really hope I will!) I'll give it a go!
you should watch the previous world series' from each year, cause you don't know the outcomes of those either.
0/18 as a batter the last 18 times at bat without a hit. a hit is only counted when they make it on base via bat on ball or hit a homerun.
if you want to see one of the craziest endings to a baseball game watch the end of game 6 of the 1986 world series
A baseball game is great but that is if some hitting action does happen or there is a no hitter but there is a certain amount of games that fall into boring snooze fest one run games and i dont mean like game 3 of the ALDS Astros Mariners as that was a tense and very good one but not many of those 1-0 or 2-1 games are that and that is the risk of a baseball game but you can get a beautiful experience.
Since the Cubs are going to London this year, you might as well join us Cubs fans in pulling for one of the most iconic franchises in all of sport. 😀 If you become a cards fan, I'll never watch you again! 😉 After that fly to Chicago and see a game at Wrigley. It is a singular experience unlike any other in baseball. You could say the same for Fenway in Boston.
450 my ass.. They just stopped counting at 450..
Good luck,, ask for donations to see the Astros in world series next year in Houston!!!!
So,Iknow you havent uploaded in a long time, but you might be tickled to know that both the teams based in Texas won the world series back to back lol.
10:48 that was called terrible coaching
If your looking for more baseball content to watch, you could watch the Astro's and Phillie's playoffs up to the World Series. Either each game like this or a condensed one video highlights of each of the teams games.
you should react to the 23 World Series
Come to houston texas
Yep the best State in the best country. I mean the best city in the best State. Sorry don't want to offend anyone.
Hate to spam the comments, but I still cannot believe all 4 Phillies hitters swung at the first pitch they saw in the 9th… Down 3 runs?.. That’s just shocking..
They should know better than that.. In that situation I’m trying to get on base any way I can, meaning I take until a strike is thrown (trying for a walk), and I might even take until 2 strikes are thrown..
Go Astros
Go'stros!
O for 18 means he’s had 18 appearances at the plate but has not successfully been able to get on base 0 successful attempts out of a total of 18 to that point
Welcome to America's Pastime. Did you know that Baseball was invented in England?
Here's a video on some basic rules to get you going before the WBC starts, best of luck!

Thanks 👍
only one team in the mlb that isn't american. _and_ it's from the commonwealth. TORONTO BLUE JAYS 🐦
Support the padres 💪
I'm not biased (go astros!). but i highly recommend rooting for the underdog diamondbacks. they seam to be getting better every year and they have some of the best pitches in the NL. almost all of their games have been extremely entertaining and fun to watch last year. Im not pushing you or anything, other teams i recommend are the New York Mets, San Diego padres, and New york Yankees. Have an extraordinary day!
