 Something happened in baseball that has never happened before in the Angels Rangers game from last week And this one is brought to you by draft Kings Joe Madden is a manager that does weird shit That is a man who caught a foul ball and instantly gave it to a girl or just a woman behind him a Instant friend high-five baseball. That's what it's all about now The Angels are gonna get in some trouble but not on this play because that's a nice play by squid up the middle for the out But then the 2-0 pitch goes down the line into the corner. Is that gonna be a double? No, it's played really well by the caveman and holds him to a single So now there's a runner on first for the Rangers, but the next batter We got strike one on probably a ball strike two on a foul ball Oh, no hit him right in the elbow pad did not hurt him, but hit him Pooping Pooping classic sound effect noise so they go talk to the pitcher and they're like hey Don't be afraid just come at this guy So he does he comes at him with a double over the left fielder's head That's gonna score one run and put another runner on second Angels still in trouble not they're eating that's a little flair into right field and the manager says hey Catch go talk to him now. I didn't slow this down or edit this at all This is live time the catcher goes to talk to the pitcher if you're new to baseball there It's just a strategy to give the warm-up the new pitcher that's coming in more time to warm up So the catcher usually says some nonsense this time the catcher isn't even talking and Joe Madden is just waiting And they're just waiting and no one's saying anything and Joe Madden is whistling to himself and nodding and they're just waiting Usually you wait for the umpire to break this up and then you go make your pitching change Buying time goes on for a long time They're just standing on the mound and the catcher usually talks to the pitcher somewhat But they're all just standing around quiet finally looks at Joe like dude Are you gonna come get me out of this game or what are you doing? Right here. He's like what's going on and Joe Madden's like, okay I guess the ump isn't gonna tell me that I have to Ump, are you gonna like tell me I got to make a change? He says, okay. I'll come out and make the change Man baseball is a slow sport sometimes. I was literally just a stall tactic and it was so long So they take this pitcher out of the game and they bring in a new pitcher and he says hey good job, man You did great. See you later new pitcher comes in his name is Austin Warren zero earned runs so far this season and that's a ball The next pitch is a ball even worse a ball again and a ball even worse four pitch walk And now the bases are loaded and there's a lefty coming up in Corey seager Joe Madden goes to the mound to talk to his pitcher and he has confirmed that while he was out here He said hey, we're gonna intentionally walk this guy so you can get the next two guys He doesn't really have a reaction to that information They're gonna tell the catcher and he's gonna say I think Joe Madden at one point here says like blah blah blah He says it okay. You're right and then the next two guys and then those are your guys like walk them And then those next two are your guys the numbers don't support this and Joe Madden admitted this as well These numbers don't support this righty and a lefty usually that means he's gonna crush him But seager's actually better against lefties this year and they walk them and they're down and Mike Trout's face is like what wait what huh the fuck huh what? The fuck and if you're a lot of people watch breakdowns that don't watch baseball you're like what what what? What does this all mean? He intentionally walked the batter. You don't have to throw the pitches anymore and That spins a run around because the bases were loaded They were already losing three to two now this runner scores and it becomes four to two now This has happened in Major League Baseball before but usually it's when the team is up a couple runs And there's a huge threat at the plate like Barry Bonds and they don't want them to get multiple RBI's and score multiple runs. So like we'll just let this dude get one run and move on No one's ever done it this early in a game and At this score when they're losing and you can see the runners are so confused simian on first like where am I going? He's like yeah get moving dude. You guys score to run the pitcher after it happens It looks like now he looks into the dugout. He's like you motherfucker Madden. That's a bad look for me I didn't realize how bad this was gonna look and then Madden is sitting there. I think he says I Shouldn't have talked to him. I think I think that's what I shouldn't have talked to him That's kind of what I see right there and other coaches like yeah, well you did and he's like yeah, but maybe I don't know That's what I read. I don't know if that's correct I do that seager is over at first base and he's like he knew the bases were full Says something something suppin let me work a walk Like let me work a walk if you're gonna walk me and make me earn it just intentionally walk me Madden said that this wasn't a numbers move It was an emotional move the emotions of the game determined it makes no sense Madden just likes being talked about for being a weirdo and doing new and unique things So he did a new and unique thing and it backfires Immediately because the next batter puts one rule almost to the track and that scores a run So now you've scored two runs if your fear was that the batter Hits a single and two run score will now that happened and if your batter was that he hits a double and all three run score Well, that's about to happen Next and you'll never guess how so he's starting to you know Squirm a little bit and now the pitcher box and the umpire calls and the other umpire calls it So the runner on third goes home So now all three runners have scored and it's a complete backfire. This is the block He moves his arm you can't do that unless you do it like every single time while you're on the rubber So Madden's gonna have a lot of problems with this He goes to the umpire when he's getting mad at him and he's like did you have to call it? He's like I have to I have to I have to Joe I need to call a block you did not have to call a block right there It was to deceive the runner was it to deceive the runner does it deceive the runner? Was it to deceive the runner? I'm just asking you a question was it to deceive the runner But was it to deceive the runner? That's my question and the umpire starts giving him an answer and Joe doesn't like it. No, that's not the question No, I'm asking you was it to deceive the runner the ump says yeah, could it deceive the runner? You thought that was to deceive the runner right there. Yeah, sure it could have been come on John You're better than that you're better than that John You're better than that John So Madden said all of two sentences that entire time and maybe he's a wound a little tight because of something else Because I mean that's just a balk by the book and then the next batter does get out Pops out to the infield and that ends the inning But all the runs that were on base when Corey Seeger was up score in the pitcher I think it's sunk in like what the hell was all that about and Joe Madden turns to his assistant coach and he said well Doesn't matter now. I screwed up now a lot of people are saying well They won the game show hey hits a home run and the angels win the game So it didn't backfire and it's like even Joe Madden admitted that this backfired And there was no reason to do it and you kind of just embarrass your pitcher because you have no confidence in them and Joe Madden just Wants to be Joe Madden and he is so he can't fault them for that Thanks to draft Kings for sponsoring this breakdown appreciate them as always
