CC Sabthia said it best “if you don’t want them to swing 3-0 then throw strikes”
Yes
oof
I’m lost. Shouldn’t it be if you don’t want them to swing 3-0, throw a ball in the dirt, or way outside?
@@tien90802 he means throw a strike on one of the first 3 pitches. Cant get swung on a 3-0 if youre never in a 3-0

“If you don’t want us to score then stop us.” -Bill Belichick
Good one tbh
God this is how it should be. It’s adults playing a game. You suck at it? Sucks to suck. This is why these people are paid millions every year. Fuckin babies.
LOL one time Whitey Herzog's runnin' Redbirds were blowing out the SF Giants. The guys were running like they always did. Roger Craig got pissed and Herzog said we'll stop running when you stop scoring. ROFL!
100% true
That's part of the reason why Belichick is the GOAT, and his players respect him
you'd think it'd be an "unwritten rule" to not trash your own fucking player to the public and justify the other team trying to bean him
The manager is a piece of shit for throwing his player under the buss.
I agree 100%, but the truth is, Tony LaRussa is clown shoes. Mickey Mouse wears Tony LaRussa pajamas. He looks about as lucid and sober in this video as he did in the dash cam footage from his DUI.
@@Jason-hq1mk if any other manager said this he'd be fired that night
If my career depended on my batting average and other statistics, I would absolutely hit a home run when given the opportunity. In 4 years, no one will remember this happened but he’ll still have this HR on his record.
Eventually he can make up whatever story he wants about the Homer cuz everyone will move on anyway lmao
Yup every single possible time I can. If they don't want to get scored on they can put an actual fucking pitcher on the mound
Not true! I remember it well.
Fans paid full price for tickets, they expect a full game.
Is this why they went with a position player to pitch? Just to get 9 on the board? I really don't get it. Why not use a pitcher? They're barely throwing anyway. Hell, if it's just for the fans, draft a fan out of the audience to "pitch". Or a mascot. At least that would be memorable.
I'd love to see stats on how many fans watch a full 9 innings. Especially during a blowout.
They have been told they have to get together on these situations. This is coming from the top.
All 17 of them
Why wouldn't the other team try to win the entire game? It's professional sports, not little league LMAO
Honestly, if we are talking about "respect for the game" giving up in the middle of the game is a little more disrespectful than hitting a homerun
And then putting a guys Heath in jeopardy by throwing 90+ at him because he did his job. So respectful.
These people need to be paid in pesos based on their values. Bunch of babies nowadays
@@jking0.o121 what do you mean nowadays, when the old guys are the ones being babies
@@alejo5267 I mean that being a baby isn't ageist. Young, old, small and tall, anyone and most everyone acts like babes *nowadays*
“middle of the game”? It’s the ninth inning!
here's a WRITTEN RULE: if a team wants to stop playing the game, they can forfeit at any time. more respectful than half-assing it and getting mad at those players who continue to put in an effort which is beyond asinine.
they really wrote all that in the book?
@@jaybandu6976 yep. “Half-assing” is bold and underlined in the official mlb rulebook
Why not put the rookies up to at least pitch a couple of rounds just to try and work on their game against batters who are still going to try and hit to improve their own individual stats?
@@jaybandu6976 just want to let you know your joke was seen, laughed at heartily, and in a just world would have a few thousand likes.
@@HoyaSaxaSD thanks bud! It's hard these days 🤣
It's honestly disgusting that the coach would betray his own team and players like that.
Everyone knows when you hit a home run you have to bow to the pitcher and start a charitable foundation in their name
You’re a diamond in the rough, Sir William.
And if the pitcher strikes out the batter (the more often occurrence of the two, mind you), he gets to berate you in public and now owns your first born son as his slave.
Don't forget to ask the pitcher for permission before running the bases

Tony LaRussa giving me serious emperor palpatine vibes in those postgame interviews
Palpatine vibes... you're a genius.
I love democracy
I was about to say this😭
You mean looking like a walking corpse?
Because he’s controlling or because he looks 200 years old
This is baseball at its worst. LaRussa- “Don’t swing 3-0 when we’re up by a bunch”. Players-“but we have incentives in our contracts that make us more money, and the game isn’t over”. Example…Mets were down by 6 going into their last at bat, scored 7 and won the game. A lot of times, divisions are won by 1 or 2 games. Every game is important, or they wouldn’t keep track.
Imagine trying to hit someone with a ball and possibly injuring them because they hit a home run and hurt your feelings
"I, the manager, hate that my player has hit a home run. So much so that I do not have a problem with them throwing at him." This guy just lost the locker room
He never had it in the first place. TLR should have managed his last game 10 years ago.
Pretty sure he never had it
Nope people called me stupid for saying this a few weeks ago......
He never had it, he has run his course ... these dinosaurs are becoming extinct
No, hall of fame manager Tony La Russa, did not lose a locker room....
Larussa looked very drunk. He’s probably just getting ready for his drive home.
💀
Fucking dead lol
🔥
What a silly manager. Quite literally not something that would have happened in Little League
Happy Hour 🍻 🚗
If I was losing a game and the other team stopped trying cuz they felt bad, I'd probably feel worse.
I love how you can't swing 3-0 in a blowout game against a fielder pitching, but if you do and hit a home run then it's perfectly okay to beam the other team...
“The generation of players that thinks they’re tough are the biggest babies when it comes to getting their feelings hurt” nailed it right there.
The Boomers of baseball.
I also cannot believe that after Yermin got hit by a pitch last night that TLR still didn’t have his back. You don’t have to like what Yermin did, but don’t be ok with him getting hit! What a joke.
@@jfdunn1988 he said he was okay with it which is crazy
Clearly none of you have competed at anything at a high level.
Sadly, this applies to a lot more than just baseball.
Bottom line, you can’t put a guy out on the mound who throws 40mph lollipops and get mad when he gets taken yard.
Agreed
@@iplayvideogames2542 if I was a position player pitching I wouldn't give a rat's ass about the results. You're not even a pitcher, no expects you to pitch well. And the batter posturing and gesturing to the sky just makes him look even stupider. It's like hitting a homerun off a guy in the stands and acting like it was Sandy Koufax
@@username-zj9id, well said!
@@username-zj9id then put a rookie pitcher in who has numbers to play for and make a practice game out of it. If you toss the game off you toss the game off, that’s on you. Can’t be mad the other team keeps going.
Actually impressive to go yard off 40 mph, that takes some muscle
I"m in tears 😂😂😂 When the reporter asked if he is worried about the Twins retaliating.... If they could have done something about it they would have beaten the Sox. 🤣🤣🤣
When I played hockey there was no way the coach would let us stop trying even if we were up 4-0. It's not about saving feelings. It's about not getting caught off guard and letting momentum take a sure-win away from you. The game isn't over till it's over.
My biggest thing is that people will complain about guys taking a swing when it doesn’t matter but won’t even blink when players are intentionally throwing at guys at 90+mph
"BaSeBAlL iS A gAmE abOuT ReSpeCT"
This comment can't get enough likes. Why are they out there if they aren't going to play because the game is out of hand? In that case give fans their money back for the "quitting time" and don't pay the players for the mercy time. None of the stats should count! It's just plain silly
You are slightly wrong. They do, don't throw at heads is the one rule.
Baseball is the sport of mafia clubs protecting reputations by sending pitchers to do jobs, aka throw at people. Exactly what La Russa sounded like - a godfather who issued an apology in hopes of not receiving retaliation. Duffy couldn't shoot straight, but the message was given. La Russa approved of the premeditated hit.
@@Mark_Knight Not even then, there are far too many people, not just turning a blind eye, but outright defending people throwing at heads. It’s sad.
Imagine being a manager and not having your player's back even though he broke an extremely outdated unwritten rule.
Agreed la russa is a dated dinosaur of a manager
@T&Z Danny Duffys on the Royals but ok
@T&Z Tyler Duffey* but yeah the unwritten rules are so dumb. Yermin worked through the minors for a long time. Let him play
Tony is a drunk who didnt even know about the second base in exyras rule... what do ya expect
Maybe its outdated if ur 12...
1. Jimmy, never ever change you’re perfect and I love you xx 2. Look, I’m Australian, and I REALLY wanna get into baseball. It’s history has always fascinated me. However, this stuff is garbage and I genuinely don’t think I can appreciate a sport where managers and coaches care more about their opponents’ feelings than his own players’ safety, and his own TEAM winning the game. This is dumb.
Well, that's just Tony La Russa and people were rolling their eyes for days after this one. Baseball is still really fun :)
I’m from Ireland, watching from across the Atlantic. This stinks, but there’s enough baseball going on to where this isn’t that common, with 162 games per team you’re not running out of competitive matches.
I remember playing little league and this was a thing then, but I'm pretty sure we all understood that was a little league thing...I was honestly shocked the first time I heard people in the majors talk like that. Mercy rule for people making hundreds of millions of dollars a year? Get the fuck out.
The fact that he threw his player under the bus on live tv says all I need to know about this coward
Yea he gets respect and demands his players to respect the game not turn it into a touchdown dance spectacle that other sports have turned into.
@@Thedirtylittlesecret oh no we wouldn't wanna hurt anyone's feelings! 😔these poor pitchers have to deal with so much these days, we should take it easy on them and let them get the strikeout

He was probably drunk
Comment of the day. Thanks
Looks like early stages of dementia.
@@kaitain7595 Early?!
Hahahahaha
I like how following unwritten rules leads to the starting pitcher getting himself tossed out in the 4th inning of a close game because of what happened in a previous game after they basically already lost.
Tony's disrespect for the fans is Pathetic and embarrassing
“Respect the game,” means to give it 100% until the game is over. Also, these are professionals. They are grown adults. If they don’t like being scored on, they can do something about it. In fact, they are being paid millions of dollars to do something about it.
So do fighters and sometimes your just beat. Doesn’t mean you beat the guy until he’s dead. at some point you goofballs gotta say okay he’s dead now 🤣
@@Thedirtylittlesecret That is a poor argument. With combat sports, someone can physically get injured and potentially killed. With baseball, worst thing is someone gets their feelings hurt.
@@benjaminbrockway5998 lmao 😂 a dude got hit in the face last week and your comment make 0 sense.
@@Thedirtylittlesecret His comment makes a lot of sense actually. You have to call fights because you risk serious injury if you're losing bad. Where as baseball it is just hurt feelings. And yes there is injures in baseball, but it has nothing to do with losing terribly.
@@calebthezombie8457 feeling get a-lot of people killed
honestly we should be thanking mercedes for that 3-0 homer, it made miguel sano so mad that he remembered how to hit
lmao right
That’s probably why la russa was mad
LMAO
😂
Twins out here playing 18D Parcheesi with this move sparking fire in the clubhouse and distrust in the white sox. Rocco is truly a genius
"Giving respect to the opponents" is giving it your all. Of course overly celebrating or something like that is a bit tasteless, since you basically destroyed the team. But you should always play like it matters. I don't want someone to go easy on me just cause I'm losing.
Why can’t the opposing team just forfeit the game? Same outcome on paper, right? That way hitters don’t have to trash their BA’s
looks bad on the team and the fans payed to see a full game
Because the season is a marathon basically. The wear and tear of this game will effect the next game. If the game gets called early that wear effect isn't there. It could actually end up an advantage for the next game to call it early. The endurance factor of the season is predicated on that stuff.
@@tripplec03 for the exact same reason, fans payed to see a full game of BASEBALL, not 4 innings of baseball and 5 innings of one (Likely both) teams not even trying anymore.
Tony Larusa: respect the game Also Tony Larusa: drunk asleep at the wheel during Spring training

The game is changing and Tony hasn't. I loved having him in stl, but I think he needs to take a step back.
“I’m Tony Larussa and I’m a professional baseball.”
Hi Brian..glad u live a perfect life with no faults. Larusa paid his fine and did CS. Paid his debt.

Lol😂😂😂
true..
bull.....you wrong tlr....when you stand in this spot is to do that.....and if somebody hit ....we will do the same
Tim Anderson is such a little immature bitch though. He fits the South Side Chicago vibe. He should get suspended for his actions.
@@thecaynuck4694 hmmmm, no.
When the other team gives up, it's an insult to the sport and the other team. They deserve complete humiliation. Take your beatings when you lose, or you don't deserve to celebrate when you win.
When MLB players sign contracts, their pay is largely based on their stats. So one home run can earn them thousands more even if it was in garbage time. Plus, some of the younger/lower paid players on the team's only chance to show what they've got is in garbage time, so to me this unwritten rule is nonsense.
La Russa may have just lost the entire locker room in the span of 24 hours which honestly is kinda impressive. God damn.
He lost the city of Chicago even before he was hired.
What La Russa doesn't understand is most of his players don't understand English.
@@LakeFX He should have lost that job after getting popped for DUI/DWI
@@chrisnyhof5797 : Why fire a HOF manager who has his team in first place? Are you related to Angel Hernandez?
He was popped for dui BEFORE he was hired
mans on a rookie level contract as a career minor league player. he’s playing everyday for his job so i don’t understand why he isn’t allowed to pad his stats and play as hard as he can so he can stay in the bigs
Right? Fuck the manager and his outdated BS. Pad them stats for your career in the long-run...
This is an incredibly important part of the deal here. The guy is playing for the only contract he's ever gonna get.
Exactly! Stats don't care what the score in the game was when you struck out or scored.
Jomboy mentioned it in the initial breakdown, but I wish he reiterated it here too, because it really makes LaRussa's take even worse than it appears at first blush. LaRussa is basically telling his players he would rather they tank their career than make the other team feel bad.
even as a veteran, shouldn't be disallowed to pad stats.. I mean look at Westbrook. Padding stats like nobody's business and called goat for it. That can be Mercedes
The insane thing about this is that EVEN IF there's an unwritten rule and EVEN IF you agree with the unwritten rule, how do you just take the opponent's side as the manager? You defend your own players in public even if you want to chew them out in private because of the "unwritten rules". You don't have to be some impartial judge of the situation. YOU'RE THE MANAGER OF ONE OF THE TEAMS INVOLVED.
Tony La Russa: I have an office. That's where you yell at your players.
If breaking an unwritten rule gives the other team the ok to potentially injure or hell possibly kill you then that's just plain wrong
Him telling the opposition it's ok to hit one of his players with a pitch is a fireable offense.
I agree but i think he means it in a sense that if the other team did it, he wouldnt have hesitated to throw at them either. Any team is throwing at a player if they swing 3-0 in a blowout so 99.9% of the players on the bench would expect someone to be thrown at so in that sense hes like fuck it, my dude made a mistake and we will deal with the consequences. So i dont hate him for not caring, you probably shouldnt say it though lol.

The fact that pitching coaches would actually tell a pitcher to hit a batter is insane
This talk of the family and retaliation makes it legitimately sound like they're talking about the mob.
I was always taught, that playing "easy" against your opponents and not showing them the respect they deserve is a huge insult. Playing your best shows that you respect your opponent.
This unwritten rule is a result of little leagues trying to keep kids from crying after a loss on the way home. Thus you have, participation awards: a trophy for losing. Just so you can say “hey, I played too!”
@@partycrasher9660 participation trophies have always been for the sake of the parents, if the little league kid is having fun they don’t care about getting a trophy/medal/etc.
You clearly didn't comprehend that they were using a POSITION PLAYER for a pitcher. How dumb can you be.
That's how I learned for any sort of contest, unless you are teaching someone you put your full effort in unless you intend to insult them.
@@jesarablack1661 - diminishing returns -- coaches would rather their players save energy for the next game than waste it on a blowout; they see it as an unwritten rule to respect the white flag because no one wants to watch a game where a team just outright quits.
"Hey bud we don't really give a fuck about this game, but if you try to do something with your plate appearance we're gonna be real upset!"
Right? "We dont care any more, so you shouldnt either" Thats called being a sore loser where I'm from.
@@JarthenGreenmeadow Yeah like if you're just hangin out with friends and would rather be playing another game where someone's not getting dunked on then sure, let's cut this short but, like... this is MLB
@@JarthenGreenmeadow can you tell me one thing ? Why would it matter if the other team got mad ? Why was the manger trying to avoid the other team getting mad ??? This is sports !?!??!
nice nighthawks pfp
@@juice4826 Because there are bunch of crybabies in the MLB. There's an unwritten rule that says you shouldn't swing at a 3-0 pitch when you're team is winning by several runs late in the game. Just like when Tatis hit a grand slam against the Rangers a year or so ago in a similar situation. Of course, in Tatis' situation, if he'd taken ball 4 and walked in a run, he'd have been accused of having bad sportsmanship, trying to draw a walk and force a run with his team up big. At least in this situation a walk wouldn't force in a run. In short, it's just an excuse for professional athletes to act like babies.
Amazing how seriously people take a kid's game.
I would pay whatever amount it took to break my contract with any team that is being managed by a guy that: 1) Doesn't defend his players, but actively throws them under the bus 2) Actually wants me to NOT give my best 3) Doesn't believe in playing the game by the ACTUAL rules and instead puts more weight behind imaginary, arbitrary, and subjective "rules" And then I would go to whatever team was willing to pay me to play my best at ALL times, even if it was a significant cut in pay. After all, its just a game, but if we are paid to compete than I want to earn my stats honestly. Maybe I am just a dreamer, but at least I could look myself in the mirror.
Tony La Russa "I was actually drunk during this game so I don't remember what happened"
When he said he would send up three ptichers, he meant his room service order when on the road or before driving a car.
@@manfjsjjskdjhtjaozjdnn3947 Everclear does look a lot like water.
Not pictured: Larussa driving home drunk after speaking with the media
Damn.
Seriously though Sox ownership needs to take a close look at these interviews, he is clearly suffering from dementia. He sounded like a retired boxer. This is outside the fact that he is not OK with his players hitting homeruns, but is perfectly ok with the opposition throwing at his hitters. Wow.
I’m cryinggggg
Larussa looks wasted doing this interview talk about old school baseball.
"I didn't try to spank him; he's too big and strong."
Tony LaRussa looks like Kuato from Total Recall dying saying "Quaid.....Quaid....." 🤣
Where was Tony when my 2A high school fielding 23 players lost by mercy rule to an overfull 5A team filled with rich Dallas kids, some of whom were Rangers players' kids in a high school program employing former college coaches?
“He’s not gonna do that again” I hope he does it again.

Losing the Locker Room in Ten Minutes (Speed Run): Tony LaRussa Edition
Believing a manager is telling his players the same thing in a closed clubhouse that he says to reporters in a post game zoom interview - sheeple edition.
@Michailli L and look how well that turned out, he went against his own team and they still got thrown at
Literally lost it a month into the year, can’t believe how much a clown he is
@Michailli L they got thrown at anyways the following night...
More like losing the fans and embarrassing yourself in front of all of the sporting world!!!
When Betting against your own Team goes wrong, Pete Rose would be pissed too!
I'm a brit I play softball and I've been getting more and more into baseball. The "sportsmanship" is one of the things I find totally different from the sports I'm used to. In every sport I watched growing up you play to the final second its literally ingrained in me keep playing try and get something positive even in defeat. Giving up on the game before then would actually be considered unsporting. I find it bizarre that the unsporting person here is the one that keeps playing. I'm sure they've young pitchers itching for the chance to prove themselves who happily would have taken that game time as well. I do find it interesting that the fans and players seem to agree with that a lot of the time but the old guard enforce it.
If my manager said that I’m asking for a trade immediately. Imagine caring more about the other teams feelings than your own players. I’d never hit a homer for this guy again
13 PEOPLE AGREED with that line of b.s you said?? if you played for Dick williams, Sparky Anderson, Don Zimmer (google them)..YOU wouldnt ask for a trade..you would be sent down to the minors or you would be traded....without asking
@@jaydesrochers753 Did you ask them or are you making a fallacious argument to authority without even getting their opinion? Either way it's a fallacious argument to make if they don't explain why, but one just leaves you looking like you're grasping at straws.

This moment single handedly ruined his career
I can’t believe how accurate your mouth reading is every video. It’s honestly impressive
I've mentioned this to everyone when I'm telling people about his channel. It is very impressive! Most impressive.
I'll be more impressed if someone gave jomboy a muted video that we do have the audio for and see if his transcription matches up.
It’s the best part of the channel for sure
I literally watch these videos specifically because of the lip reading. I can’t stop laughing.
'mouth' reading?.
As a Twins fan I was mad about that but not because of him swinging, I was more just mad at the Twins themselves being so trash
Same
makes sense
“Because I respect the game so much, we’re now going to treat the opponents like children who are incapable of competing with us by giving up and not exerting any effort towards the last couple plays of the game” Honestly the unwritten rule b/s ends up creating scenarios that are more disrespectful than just shutting up and playing the game
I don’t watch baseball but how is this “don’t swing, let’s not try anymore and just let players walk with balls” thing not disrespectful to the FANS? Like is this not an entertainment form first and foremost? If you want the game to end just forfeit and go home
Him going and apologizing is even more of an insult to the twins🤣🤣☠️
And the game of baseball
Twins are punks for throwing at Yermin. Even after all the groveling done by LaRussa and taking his own player to task they still go and throw at him. Dicks
@@mick2spic seriously..makes all of baseball look bad, childish
@@mick2spic they better have that same energy when a guy like Yermin who’s built like a tank charges the mound

Someone call the police. I’ve just witnessed a murder.
Holy shit this one's good lol.
God DAMN
Goated comment lol
My son's hockey team got blown out a couple times last year, playing up a couple times. The other team smashed us, and kept smashing all three periods. My son was the goalie, and I was a bit concerned for his mind space. Even though it didn't wind up affecting him, it annoyed me a bit that they were still driving so hard, but we let it go on and they were fine for the experience afterwards. And that's little kids. These are professional athletes paid to play a child's game! If their feelings get hurt from a drubbing, they have bigger problems as an organization.
Duffy looked so choked up lmao no way he acted on his own
idk why the twins would get mad, if you put a postiton player on the mound you better get ready for home runs lmfao
Exactly! The count is 3-0 cause he is struggling to get strikes not cause he's trying to get a strikeout. Don't like a homerun hit on you, then put in an actual pitcher.
Plus walks are just going to drag the game out even more
@@hobonolen2402 the manager of the White Sox were more angry than the Twins lol
The guy was trying for a homerun. He was trying to clobber it. I'm cool with that. I'd be more upset if he just tried to bloop one out there. He went full send or nothing 👍
If slugging on a 3-0 count when a position player is pitching is good sportsmanship, then we should also let boxers come into the ring and pummel the guy whose corner threw in the towel. Putting in a position player on the bump when you're down double digits late in the game IS quitting. But it's quitting in a way that provides a modicum of entertainment for the fans, that's all. Somehow Jomboy doesn't get that.
