 Padre's Dodgers game from a while back had two instances of pitch-com and pitch clock and new baseball issues The first one is Snell. He's giving the pitch on his hip to Gary. Gary can't hear it says hey hit it again So he breaks his hands and hits the pitch-com again on his hip and the umpire's like no no no no no no No illegal legal balk and he's like what? I have to tell him which pitch So what do you want me to do? If he's looking he's looking right at it if He's looking at me What do you want me to do? I? Haven't gotten it. I Didn't see you. I didn't see you and you brought your hands together. I haven't gotten it from him yet I'm telling him the pitch and then he sends back. He's got it and he's like hey. Hey, I didn't get it Yes, I promise you that and then the other coach here comes and says something right there like hey You blew it you're dumb and he gets ejected not a big storyline because he's not the manager anything pitching coach I'm guessing he gets ejected, but you know if you look at this what happened is Snell's got the device on his hip He hits the buttons and it tells the catcher what pitch he wants to throw now He's hitting the buttons right here telling Gary Sanchez what pitch he wants to throw and Gary's got his globe do his ear Listening and then Snell gets into kind of his set position and he breaks his hands and Gary's like nah I didn't hear that man do it again. So Snell puts his hands back together Hits the button and that's a balk But Snell's point is if the first baseman is watching me. I'm not deceiving him. He knows what's going on I got pitch calm on my hip hits the button again and Gary's like that's good and you can see Gary Moves to the pitch calm on his knee and sends it back to Snell like yep I heard at that time got it and then Snell is gonna break and go to pitch they called him out on that We've had this happen twice now, and it's this weird pitch calm situation like they should fix it but I don't know how with the Pitch clock it feels like pitch calm might not be necessary anymore, and I love watching the catchers give the sign So I hate pitch calm anyway later in this game many Machado steps up to the plate Representing the tying run in the bottom of the six with two outs so big at bat the Dodgers go to Brewster Gratterall him and Manny have a fun history together and Gratterall is gonna pound him with high Strikes high fastballs and this one Manny says no no no no no I'm says boy says yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes No, no, no, no better not call it a strike. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes I agree with you were friends the 1-0 and Brewster goes back with the same high fast But actually a little lower this time and Manny probably wants that one back Probably wants to hit that one third pitch another high fastball so three in a row 99 miles per hour with some arm side run and Manny's gonna step out and take some time to think about it and the umpire is like hey hold up He he called time fan says yep. He called time Manny's thinking about it Collecting himself he gets he gets one time out per at bat now in the new pitch clock era and Take some practice swings now. He steps back in and when he looks up to pitch Brewster is real quick into his motion Hey, come on now not ready little cutter strike three big old bazooka fist pump from Brewster Manny's not happy. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Come on now Come on. He wasn't ready. I wasn't ready and he says he wasn't looking bro. No, he wasn't he was coming I wasn't ready Bro, what do you mean? I have 20 seconds. What are you talking about same thing? No, no, no Come on, bro. That's fucking bullshit. Oh, same thing. We just talked about no recess when you gave me time You gave me time on the pitch before and then he's got to wait till I'm ready No, he wasn't looking at him. It was Okay, we're good. We're good. We're good. Okay, we're good. Hey Are they fighting? Fucking bullshit brah. I like Gary trying to calm him down He throws his helmet to the coach coach misses it And then he's undoing his glove and Gary's like come on come on and you know what man He's pretty much right here He steps into the box and look when grader all raises his hand and comes into kind of his set position He times it perfectly so it's he's getting away with it. It's actually well done by Bruce are but I think by law He can't really start that movement until they've made eye contact and they have not made eye contact His hands already moving up and then Manny really that's when Manny looks and he's already in his kind of Set position and wind up and not looking at him So I think Manny was right here, but he sure does say bra a lot and this one was brought to you by seek Thank you to seat geek for sponsoring.
