A rare blemish on an otherwise stellar White Sox season
😂😂😂
Yeah... But that's why it sucks so much that the call was made. They actually could have won (admittedly it was still unlikely) in an amazing comeback against a good side, but instead we got: "Nah the fielder was slightly inconvenienced, he's out."
I'll have you know we have double digit wins, sir.
Payback for 1919
.250 average 🤣🤣🤣 nearly halfway through June! You a legend for this comment 😂😂
This is exactly like when you make up a situational boardgame rule with your friends and months later it ruins your games
I was thinking, "They didn't playtest this nearly enough."
It’s like playing NOMIC
It's the Monopoly free parking money pot
How is not interfering with a play hard to understand?
Lmao poker
The "who are you?" when you know you've lost is an all time classic. 😂
Classic Roger Daltrey comeback
I was laughing out loud at that lip reading
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? I AM!
Boone was such a prick here. Didn't wanna answer so just ignores it
The umpire repeating "now what? Now what?" when Boone was trying to respond was just as obnoxious and that's what Boone was responding to by asking "who are you talking to like that?"
“Thank you to baseball, for writing rules that are black and white that have a lot of gray area”😂😂😂 I lost it at that😂😂😂
Good lord, Jomboy is the only man who can turn footage from a baseball game into the most compelling soap-opera of all time.

Not compelling but certainly a soap opera characterization of a simple rule infraction.

Never get a second voice actor. Listening to you voice two guys is golden
The Soto scenario looks to match the rule EXACTLY. That man came in with way more hip than I've ever seen when getting a foot on the bag. What an interesting breakdown.
And the ump explained exactly why the call needed to be made to Boone, who responds by being totally childish, which the ump shuts down with a clean one-liner. Rare ump W on this one, honestly.
@@cplpuddingpop Honestly is Jimmy just a little mad because he's a Yankee fan? Seems like the exact sort of situation for this rule to be implemented.
@@brattman741 Jimmy isn’t mad at all in this video? You mean Boone?

NOW WHAT, AARON?
I mean he's totally right. Calling these guys out doesn't feel right, but the ball bounces away and a run scores because of contact with a runner is also not the right answer to this situation.
@@kylethomas7467I don’t agree with the first one, but the second one was a tough, but good call.
I think the only reason the runner on third didn’t take off was because he saw it was called interference which means he’d have to go back anyways.
@@kylethomas7467 Yeah, it doesn't feel great, but his reasoning was 100% right.

He looks like a character in a PS1 game 😂.
For those who don’t know (I’ve read some of the comments), when the infield fly rule is called, the ball is not dead. The batter is automatically out to remove the force plays at all the bases, whether the ball is caught or not, and runners can advance at their own risk (tagging up is required if the ball is caught by the infielder.) But in order to fix this, the ball SHOULD be dead and no advancement by the runners should be possible. Once the call is made, ball would be dead and the play is over, no matter what happens.
I think that instead of completely changing the infield fly rule they should just make it a dead ball if there is interference like this (or at least umpire discretion if there is a play)
@@cubsfanman-nx6pg The problem is the infield fly rule causes the continuation of play which then requires the use of the interference call. Players still need to catch the ball to prevent runners from advancing. Simple fix is just like OP says, infield fly rule should be dead ball and no advancement by runners and the batter is out. It would remove the need for any umpire discretion on interference calls.
Yeah 100%. Only addition I might add is if the interference is intentional then it's a double play. But just call the ball dead for these situations.
No, use contact with a runner as trigger for dead ball.
I just said this in a comment reply above. when IFR is called, just "freeze the play" don't have to catch the ball, but the runners can't advance either.
So what DID happen after that? Aaron?

"Be better"
"I am" is the perfect response
I completely missed that but that's hilarious
@@cubsfanman-nx6pg all ump should take note of that comeback, because it seems to be Boone's favourite insult

Yeahh, nice shoutout to CloseCallSports! You do a great job from the entertainment (and mouth-reading) perspective... CloseCallSports does it great from the technical rules perspective. Both great analyses!
The only clean way to fix it is to say once infield fly is called the play ends. No one gets any advantage and only the hitter is out.
Why not just get rid of the infield fly rule altogether? It'd be a lot more fun if they let it drop and tried going for the multiple play instead.
@@ChefSaladIf u do that, everyone is going to drop the ball. It's just not fair to runners.
I think that's the rule and the whole point of the rule -- DEAD BALL, everything stops
@@ChefSalad That's stupid. Every popup with 2+ men on will become a free double or triple play.
@@coulie27not the rule. The batter runner is out once Infield Fly is called, but the play continues as normal.
I saw both when they happened and what I will say is this:
If the White Sox one was out, then Soto's was about 5 outs. Gunner Henderson barely even noticed that the runner was there, it was such a nothing incident. At least with Soto there was actually contact and a dropped ball.
I think when MLB says that they could have used discretion, they're right. "A runner who ajudged to have hindered a fielder..." OK, so... Did he hinder the fielder? My discretion would say, NO. So if the runner is ajudged to have NOT hindered the fielder, he should be called safe.
Yes, Soto clearly hindered the fielder more than the white sox game. The trouble is that it was a lot harder for him not to hinder the fielder since the ball dropped right by the bag and the fielder had to take a few steps back.
Overall, I think the first isn't an out and the second is but understand it going both ways in both games.
The rule doesn't account for nuance so the umps have to.
Soto forgot that fielders often underjudge pop fly balls and went behind him, only to interfere. Was trying to stay out of his vision, but just made it worse.
On the soto play, if he runs back to the bag it's not an issue. Why on both plays were they players sauntering back to the base?
@@jodoshbecause that's how baseball works. No one is sprinting back to the bag when they don't have to.
@@justinmiller5660- These two plays proves the point that they have to. A runner is only safe on the base.
This is elite level Abbott and Costello stuff.
The best job of lipreading and editing to make this even more comical. Expert job. Love it.
the pretentious "who are you?" by boone is wild. 😂
And stupid. The ump has made tons of calls that went as Boone wanted. Maybe those were wrong?
Who was that ump ? Serigo Garcia or Sean Payton
@@johnsrabeFrom what Boone said Talkin' Yanks, it sounds like he was surprised that an umpire who's usually pretty stoic (Adam Hamari) lost his cool and got agitated
I think it was bc the guy called him Aaron. Like, who are you to call me by my first name?

Appreciate the shoutout of CCS, they do great stuff over there
Good shout-out to Close Call Sports, they are incredible
Jomboy with the cliffhanger cut to black. Absolutely love these breakdowns!
Close Call Sports is absolutely great! Very knowledgeable rules breakdowns!
Wow, I'm actually not upset with the umps on this one
As a former ump, I don’t like the first one, but the second one was a really good call.
Facts! First call was not a good use of the judgement, second was a perfect use of the judgement… Jim can be too big of a “homer” for anything to do with the Yanks
@@nolansprojects2840 The problem with the second, is there was no path for the runner. The shortstop misread the ball, and had to jump back into the runner. If the runner was watching the ball I guess, he could know this but if he held back, he'd just be tagged out since he would have to stop and the shortstop would of caught the ball basically touching the bag. Now if I'm instructing infielders on fielding popups, I'm going to tell them to double up, to block the baserunner, and call off the 2nd last minute to get 2 outs. They should of used discretion as per MLB and not called an out, because the shortstop jumped into the runner.
Agreed. First time they got both calls right. and both calls are interference. Always thought baseball is a joke because of all the cheating and how long it took them to implement instant replay. Both calls are definitely interference. As a casual fan who finds the sport incredibly boring and unathletic. This is going to be used to cheat for sure by many but in my opinion if defense has to change their course at all or change speed to avoid an obstacle from the opposing team that should be a penalty of some sort. miliseconds matter whether someone can make a catch or not and that could be the deciding factor in a championship game. Need clear cut rules and baseball has always been on a whim. Can't wait for the days where pitches are calculated by computers and they get rid of half the umpires. Human eyes suck and there's a reason eye-witness testimony isn't worth much.
@@Kanthalas The runners have to chain their ass to the bag anyways, can't they just look up for the ball and react like athletes, instead of getting in the way like my 4 year old?
Now what Aaron!?
Thank you for this.
Ump was actually making some good points 😂
@@tangarz5357except for an infield fly making it to left field? I don't think so
Got referred to this after a One Bite video on autoplay. Don't even watch baseball anymore, but what a great breakdown and the lip-reading voiceovers were incredible.
I’ve been waiting for you to break these videos down. 🎉
MLB just needs to rewrite the infield fly rule to freeze all runners when one is called. So if the catch isn't made, they don't have to worry about someone scoring off of it.
I think that's the most reasonable approach. it simplifies this greatly. Batter is automatically out, ball is dead.
@@arztje does anything else happen ever when the infield fly rule is called? I think not.
I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's the rule and the whole point of the rule - immediate DEAD BALL, infield fly, runners stay put.
Yeah it seems simple, just make it a dead ball situation, the fielder can try or not try to catch it, just call the rule an out and deal with the ball and let everyone return to their base or positions respectively. Easy.
It doesn’t need to be rewritten. If an infield fly is called, it is because the ball can be caught by an infielder without extraordinary effort. If they don’t catch it, that’s on the fielder.
This incentivizes the fielder to catch the ball instead of just letting it drop. If the runners had to freeze in place, there would be no effort by either team. But not having that rule can allow the runners to take a risk.
the UMP arguing with Boone is hilarious it’s rare they argue back in that way it was pretty funny.
So what did Boone say to Jomboy holding him to task on apologizing if he was not on the bag? I know he just wants us to watch the other thing but I’m not gonna. Fill me in someone!
I think it’s because he was fully in the right. A lot of times they know the call is bad but have to stand on it, but in these case the call was correct, even if the rule is flawed, although I really don’t have any issue with the second call.
Angels lost anyways so didn’t matter if he was on the bag or not.
@@cptobvius Boone avoided the question and started rambling about the rule needing to be changed instead
the overlapping convo edits were amazing lol 🤌🏻🤌🏻
I think the rule is pretty flawed mostly because the two plays show both ends of the spectrum.
1st play try to go directly back to the base gets in the way.
2nd play waits to go back to let the fielder set up so he can go around him gets in the way.
What else is a runner supposed to do in that situation if the play is near the base?
That little bit that starts at 4:40 is just comedic gold lol.
The lip reading is impressive.
Loving the multi voices. Fantastic
jomboy is the most incredible lip reader we’ve ever seen. this is gold

He's Umpire Grumpy Cat
@@ChristopherMHeaps Grumpire Cat
What was your old fav?
Best fix to this rule is this:
1. If the runner is deemed to be returning directly to their base and makes incidental contact with the fielder, it is a dead ball. Runner cannot advance and must return to their base.
2. If the runner is deemed to make purposeful contact to stop a play on the ball, the runner is out.
3. If the runner is deemed to be making an attempt to advance on the play and makes any contact, incidental or purposeful, the runner is out.
And maybe to stop teams from taking advantage of the dead ball on defense,
4. If the fielder makes contact with a runner that is not deemed to be during a legitimate act to play the ball (such as running directly into the baserunner and then changing direction to catch the ball), then it is a dead ball and runners are able to advance 1 base.
In all situations, the infield fly would still be in effect and batter is out.
Here's what I was thinking; whenever an infield fly is called, the batter is out and the ball is dead until a member of the fielding team is standing in the infield with the ball in hand and all base runners are standing on the last base they achieved. That would erase all motivation for anyone to interfere or make it seem like they were interfered with.
i think it would be easier to just nix this rule and add something to the infield fly rule that says if a fielder does not catch an infield fly the batter is still out but the ball is dead. Runners can't advance, double plays can't be turned.
How about the runner has a right to the baseline and bag.
You could alternatively state that if interference occurs on an infield fly, that the interference call nullifies the infield fly ruling. By the interference being called (according to all other existing rules) the ball is dead, the interfering runner is out, the batter gets first base and any runners forced by the runner going to first get the next base.
In the Soto case, he would be out, the batter would get 1st, and the batter on 1st would go to 2nd. Soto would have been out, but there would only be one out on the play and the bases would remain loaded (but not with Soto on 2nd).
It would still create a disincentive to interfere (nobody wants to take an out themselves), but still achieve what we all think should happen here. I mean, if you've got Slow Mo on 2nd and he wants to "take one for the team" with a speedy runner behind him, that's his decision.
Did boone keep his word or is he an entire child?
I may hate the Yanks with a passion, but god damn the Boone breakdowns are always the best 😂
100% agree!
Shout out to Close Call Sports! The best breakdown of umpiring, as well as MLB, College, and High School baseball rules and their applications.
Ccs defends the rules too much. Its weird but with as much DISCRETION that is written into baseball, she ends up being both technical and unhelpful at the same time.

@@vissermatt1058the issue with the rule is there is no discretion allowed. That’s the issue, and I think Lindsay makes that pretty clear

Holy shit that ump actually had a good point.
Yeah close call sports really had a great breakdown to the Iowa game too jomboy!
I've Umpired since 1984: Anything that can possibly happen in baseball will happen, no matter how crazy it is. 😎✌️
To be fair, if this rule exists - but only if the catch isn’t made - then it actually incentivizes the player to NOT catch it akin to flopping in soccer. I don’t want flopping in baseball 😂
But infield fly is an automatic out, whether it’s caught or not
@AshMorton He means like the fielder could try and exaggerate or seek out contact with a runner to get an extra out on the play
@@AshMortonwatch the video
To be fair….
the funny thing is the infield fly rule itself exists to prevent infielders from being incentivized to drop the ball to double off lead runners.
That umpire is going to haunt my dreams.
I think Soto's effort is indicative of an attempt to move, like on a bad/wild pitch. The shortstop is either misplaying badly or doing that intentionally.
This almost happened again in Friday night's Jays-Pirates game (I believe it was in extra innings). Same exact scenario. The announcers and players froze for a second thinking it was going to get called again.
LMAO!! The lip reading on this one was awesome!!!
This makes me wonder how many other super specific yet poorly implemented rules are in the rule book just waiting to be found during a one in a million play.
Keep an eye out for any oddball prop bets.
There are rules in there because teams have done some really crazy stuff since baseball started.
This is just a slightly specific rule (the infield fly rule) combined with a standard rule. The truly bizarre rules come from trying to 'fix' situations like this that seem unjust, e.g. the 4th out appeal.
If the number seven batter on the away team is playing as 1B and grounds into a triple play in the 15th inning of a regular season game in October, the away team has forfeited the game.
@jr8554 that's a common rule though everyone knows that
“Who are you” that must’ve hurt hahahahahaha
The overlapping of Jomboy arguing with himself is what makes him one the best talk show hosts in baseball.
Jomboy do a breakdown of Tucupita Marciano getting a lifetime ban
he talked about it on a longer form video
Watch the latest episode of Jimmy's 3 things lol
He does a nice breakdown on Talkin’ Baseball channel
Soto had about five seconds to get back to second after that ball was popped up. That's on him for not reaching the bag sooner.
The fielder is blocking his way back the whole way - and then it's the fielder who backs up into Soto at the end - Soto who is taking the only viable route he can do the base. It's an incredibly awkward situation - actually significantly more awkward than the first example where had the baserunner been more attentive he could have avoided blocking Henderson. I think the ruling is bad for baseball in both cases though and let's hope to see a lot less of this in the future.
@@Cream147player bro, Soto is meandering spectating the whole thing, if he needed to he could have taken a fucking 30 ft arc back to the base and reached it on time, but instead he only bothers to even try when it turns out he's put himself in the fielder's way. Being lazy and ending up in the wrong place because you're lazy isn't an excuse.
@@DNeonLampAt the same time look where the ball lands and look where the fielder is playing for most of the time in the air. The fielder wasn’t all that close to the actual ball and yet he stood in the baseline for like 80% of the time the ball is in the air. Either one of these players could have done something different. It almost looks to me like the angels player wouldn’t have even caught it from where he was.
@@DNeonLamp Soto isnt looking at the ball and the shortstop is acting like hes going to catch the ball in front of the base. Now if you were looking at that play after watching the other, it looks on purpose that the shortstop did that bc he made a terrible read on that ball. I mean that ball drops even if Soto isnt there
@@Cream147player "Fielders have a right to occupy any space needed to catch or field a batted ball" Yankees fans gonna Yank, lol.

What a coincidence that Soto's attempt to reach the base was exactly how you intentionally trip someone 😂
That side angle looked egregious without context hahaha like a playground takedown
So your suggesting that without looking at the ball he knew that the guy would have to suddenly backpedal several steps right into him to catch the ball. Thats some next level psychic awareness he has.

Question: Has a manager ever changed the mind of an umpire? Has a yelling and cursing manager ever changed the mind of an umpire?
I doubt it. They do it as a show of force for their players. They want to show that they have their backs.
Ive seen it happen a few times. But not in a long time
Much of it is to be the voice for the players so that they don't get ejected, also tradition.
I do remember once in 2005 Terry Francona managed to get an umpire to reverse a bang bang play at first during that brief period where Curt Schilling was the team's closer.
This is one rule I love about soccer; the ref will think in the moment “Who does this give advantage to?” and judge accordingly
Jomboy’s lipreading is crazy… but I also simultaneously want a Bad Lip Reading song made out of the Aaron Boone part 🤣

This comparison pleases Dark Lord Internet very, very much.
I was furious watching the game as a Yankee fan. The Umpire's "NOW WHAT AARON?" response completely won me over. Great call hahahahaha
4:27 no. MLB did *NOT* say the umps used "bad" discretion. MLB said the umps could have used their discretion to call the play either way. like a police officer using his discretion to decide if he's letting you off with a warning or giving you a ticket.
all MLB was saying is the umps had a choice; not that they made the "wrong" or "right" choice.
I also disagree with Jimmy about umps "being literal"... their whole job is to use discretion to make calls. They aren't robots.
Not specifically but yeah, they essentially did say that.
Umpires pretty much always *can* use discretion, and that really is what they should do. The problem is that most umpires lack the intellectual ability to exercise discretion, or they don't want to have to take the responsibility for making the decision, so they fall back on that simplistic literalist approach of "oh well, the letter of the rule says this, and so we can't do anything about it".
MLB said the call shouldn't have been made. You can see the screenshot of the article at 2:14
@@00Jay215 the word discretion literally means the freedom to choose. there is no such thing as "good" discretion or "bad" discretion. you use your discretion to make a call.... the outcome of using that discretion is good or bad.
Personally the first one was a poor judgement call. The second one however seems more justifiable and I feel like a correct judgement call was made.
Maybe they should change the infield fly rule to once it's been called, it's a dead ball. No runners advance, no catch must happen. Just the batter is called out and the next batter, if applicable, steps up.
Happened on Tuesday’s June 4th 2024 Yankees vs Twins. Miranda at first base was fielder catching infield pop fly. Yankee runner (can’t remember who) bumped him going back to bag. Miranda was able to catch easily. Interference was not called. Crazy it happened so soon and with the Yankees involved.
That is some next-level editing! 🤣🤣🤣
I don’t even watch baseball anymore and now have the attention span of a 12-year-old on TikTok 🥴, but I ALWAYS watch Jomboy’s videos in full. It’s just a very unique/awesome channel 😂
The infield fly rule is why I say baseball is the hardest sport to explain to someone who’s never seen it before
Now what?? LOL i laugh every time Jomboy lip reads after an ejection
Soto could’ve gotten back to the bag so much faster. It looked intentional AF but of course Jomboy is gonna omit that out of loyalty lol
Jims a big Yankees Homer lol he’s a little blind to an excellent call to be honest. The first call was bad, second was perfect use of judgement and discretion.
He literally did not catch the ball because the runner literally interfered - lol.
Why would he do that intentionally? Please explain why he would do that. It would not help his team. If he doesn’t let the shortstop catch the ball, they pick it up, throw to third, throw to second and it’s a double play.
@@xaphoonjones99 the refs made the case for that in this very video, but I don’t think the rules were on Soto’s mind at the time, he just saw a chance to f with the other team

🤣🤣 the double Jomboy argument is fabulous
This video was pretty chill and then it escalated real quickly with the Yankees clip 😂
I know Jomboy is a little biased and covers the Yankees A LOT, but is Boone really this much of an asshole? I feel like he gets ejected twice a week while you might see other managers get ejected twice a season.
The 4:40 exchange was so smooth it didn’t even register as Jomboy vs. Jomboy in my mind until I came to the comments. This man has become my internal narrator of all things tomfoolery in the MLB and it is great.
The first word making out is so funny
THIS IS WHY JOMBOY IS THE BEST VOICEOVERS 😂
The Yankees/Angels incident looks like a more practical use of this rule, although Neto didn't give Soto much of a shot to get back to the bag. As for Orioles/White Sox, the interference helped Gunnar Henderson get to the ball if anything, but not an incorrect call according to the rules.
Soto had so much time to get back to the bag. Look at how long the balls in the air and soto just casually walks back instead of hustling back to avoid a double play
Quite the cliffhanger at the end Jomboy.
It seems that all sports would benefit by adopting the rules of Calvinball.
This is an ALL TIME breakdown. Dual jomboys arguing was 🤌. Also Aaron Boone is the shit
As a Blue Jays fan I don't like the yankees (boo!) but I do like how Aaron Boone gets into it with the umps and sticks up for his players like that.
Your channel's humility and hard work are commendable. Well done.
Lindsay explained it very well by saying the runner in an infield fly situation has an affirmative duty to avoid interfering with the fielder making the catch attempt. This is different from the priorities in a regular fielding play. Like most sports, you must know the rules.
