 Cardinals are playing the Reds and out of the near 1000 breakdowns we've made I don't think we've covered what we're about to talk about so I'm excited about it I'm interested I love learning new things and finding out the process and this one's brought to you by DraftKings and download the number one sportsbook app use promo code Johnboy when you do to let him know I sent you sunny gray little picture on picture crime gonna squeeze that one right past the glove to put himself on first base that's a runner on first the next batter rookie of the year nominee favorite Jonathan India wears Johnboy media hats in his postgame press conferences he's he gets a single Stevenson next up puts that one like through that guy's glove and he kind of just squeezed it too early and that's a problem because now it's bases loaded for a dude who's absolutely lights out with the bases loaded 350 average 81 RBI six home runs and not only that Castellanos is also lights out against Jay Hap is 13 for 26 500 average so if you think you know what's about to happen you probably do first pitch low and away fouled off oh and one low and away again fouled off oh and two time to bust them inside let's move it around that's a ball they try to do it again here on the one two pitch misses his spot too much of the plate Castellanos says I'll just do what I do hits a Homer a grand slam puts the reds up big and here's what the video is all about the bat is chipped at the top the cup it's all broken up is that legal illegal can you use a broken bat the Cardinals notice this before he even stepped in the box probably put it in their brain like hey let's have them check this out check out the camera guy shot here tracking the ball like an absolute stud great job by that camera operator if you know him personally tell him I say good job Schilt comes out and he says can we check that bat can we check his bat um says check his bat says yeah check his bat broken on top so nixon the dugout saying what's going on is the umps get together and the main ump is going to say can you use a broken bat trying to figure it out like what's the rule here and then he says I don't really know what to enforce they're trying to figure out I think cousin now is telling him we're like well I don't think it's actually you know a corked bat or broken to his benefit I think he was just using a chipped bat and then the home plate ump he says well hold up I'm pretty sure we got to check the bat out first so let's bring it out hey can you bring that bat out we've got to take a look at it and they take a look at it and they're like yeah you know what this wasn't for your benefit it's just a broken bat but you know you can't use it again that's fine we're not everything's going to stand I don't think you did this to benefit you it's not corked it's not extra pine tar it's just a little broken but you know clear things up in the future let's just not use it safety concerns there is a specific rule about how much your bat can be chipped on top and how much it can't and I think maybe that's a little more chipped than it can but castellanos is like well if I can't use it you use it kid and those girls are overjoyed for him and look at that kid's face that's what it's all about so this kid should think castellanos and the reds but he should also think she'll the cardinals manager because if he doesn't say anything he doesn't get this bat now he's got an awesome bat that kid's excited reds just making fans happy non-stop they go tell shield they're like hey everything stands he's not going to use the bat again it wasn't messed up in his favor it was just broken a little bit and she was like well I don't know if it's an illegal bat and you're saying it's illegal it doesn't count can we just double check this or like sure we'll call up New York and this is something he's like yeah is there a rule on this is there a rule that says he can't do something like that and he's just trying to get it get it right good job biomes it's a really it's a really weird rule if you're not positive on it call up and check they tell shield he accepts it he's like okay whatever and then they're gonna walk over and they're gonna clear it up with the reds and castellanos a little bit and he's just has one question so everything stands though they're like yep he says who was the one who asked to see it who was it the manager that asked they're like yeah I think it was the man the manager okay all right well he's a new enemy now and I'll remember that forever because he's like no no he was fine he's just clarifying it's all good it's all good and castellanos okay thank you guys appreciate it bell says thanks guys love it and then jesse winker in the dugout he says get out of here with that weak get out of here I don't got a problem with any of it at all I think everyone handled this well castellanos hits a grand slam the umpires handled this properly and even shill you know his postgame press conference was all right is it a little bit of gamesmanship would he have cared if they said you know what it wasn't a legal bat he can't use it that home run doesn't count would he have been a little happy sure worth the risk didn't go your way not going to complain here's his postgame press conference about it he speaks on why he asked to check and everything and this one reminder was brought to you by draft kings go to draft kings download the number one rated sportsbook app use promo code john boy when you do bet on my reds they're my nl team they rep john boy media so I rep them that was chipped you know it's just by rule look I don't want to make it a big deal a guy at home with a chip bat so good for him we're not going to say anything initially but the bad boys ran out there so quickly I just wanted I don't want the bat to get gone I knew there really wasn't any recourse you know thought the crew handled it well um just wanted to make sure we captured the bat because he went out there so quickly but it's really just a safety issue with a cracked bat but put a good swing on it and had a couple good swings and you know that was that was it nothing bigger than that
