 This Rizzo at bat came at a time when the Yankees were struggling like crazy. Judge just got a hit, so he's on first base and they're thinking, maybe, maybe we can put something together. So Rizzo's a little amped up. Yarby's got some funk, comes with his fast ball up top, lefty on lefty and see that drop down. So it's coming from like behind Rizzo a little bit, sneaks the fast ball in there. Rizzo, look at him on the plate. Now he's gonna readjust his feet a bunch, dig a new hole, maybe he wants more room, maybe he wants to last, I don't know, he definitely wants to bang the hell out of his shoe there and then step back in. Rizzo stands on the plate, getting hit by pitch. It's kind of a skill set of him, because he's fearless. He stands so close to the plate, takes away that inside from pitchers, that's part of his whole gig. Yarby comes to the one-one and he tries to drop down a slash bunt. You're thinking, all right, what's that about? Well, they show the shift and there you go, the whole left side's open. This guy says, well, what happens if they put it over there? And he says, that's what he's trying to do, beat the shift. So they're just talking some baseball in the stands and then breaking ball hits him, but the ump says, no, no, no, you're staying here. You're staying here. And he says, no fucking way, DJ, I'm on the fucking plate. That's bullshit and you know it. Come on, tries to reason with him. But the umpire's saying, no, you didn't get out of the way of that ball. Booney's gonna come ask him, what's going on here? And the ump's gonna explain to him. He says, I see movement towards a pitch ball. That's what I saw. And Reza says, no way. That's just my foot coming down. I'm turning the hit with it. And the ump says, no, that's what I saw. Now, obviously it's a pretty tricky call cause any slow-mo it's gonna look like he went right into it cause look, the ball's coming and he leans into it, right? So the ump says, no, you, the rule is it's not even you can't lean into a ball. The rule is you have to attempt to get out of the way of the ball. So all the replays don't really do Reza any justice cause one, yeah, he's right. He's on the plate and then here, especially in slow-mo that looks like he comes forward. Where it gets tricky is look where the ball's coming from. It's behind him. So if Reza thinks that it's gonna hit him here or at this point, if he's reading fast ball cause I mean, you can see the way his eyes are looking behind him. He thinks it's gonna go behind him so he moves forward and then it hits him cause it's a breaking ball. I mean, that would be the one defense of Reza there but obviously it looks like they didn't try to get out of the way but he's like, I was trying to get out of the way. I thought it was gonna be behind me. Look how far behind me that pitch is. Then it comes in. The other thing is this is rarely ever called. Now Boone's gonna tell him like, hey, I can't have you thrown out. We got a short bench. DJ's hurt. We don't got another first baseman. And he's like, all right, I got it. I won't get thrown out. Appreciate it. See ya. And then he's gonna turn to the ump and he says, that's a ball, right? He says two and two. Yep. Well, got hit by a ball. Not even in the zone. Fuck! Not happy about it. Like I said, this is more than just one at bat. Rezo been slumping. Yang's been slumping. Tensions are high. And he gets hit a lot and rarely gets called for that. And then another little slide breaking ball strikes Rezo out. The inning changes. The at bat changes. This guy says, there's a bullshit call. And Rezo says, yeah, it was. I'm gonna take it out on the bat rack. Slams the helmet. Slams the helmet. Slams the helmet. Slams the helmet. Mad. Very upset. Can't get over it. Watches the replay. Still thinks it's a bad call. Doesn't like it one bit. The ump's gonna peek over and be like, what's he doing over there? Is he mad at me? Huh? Is he still frustrated? Oh, okay. Don't look. Don't look. And Rezo's talking to everyone and he says, where the fuck am I supposed to go? Huh? And his point is, the ball starts behind him. So he's not gonna move backwards. And then it comes forward into where he's trying to get away from it. I think he, you know, the way he's ducking, it looks like he thinks it's gonna hit him on the ass. And then it hits him there. He was prepping to get hit. Definitely looks bad because all, like the ump said, all his movement is coming towards the pitch. The pitch is breaking. You don't see this called that much. If you do it, usually with the elbows, not really with the legs. So there you have it. A little, maybe you don't know that rule, but you've never seen it.
