- Ninh explains -The Unwritten Rules of Baseball. A guide to fighting, retaliation, drilling, respect and more. There are unwritten rules that all baseball players abide by that you won’t find in any rulebook or guide.
They govern retribution, retaliation, drilling, fight etiquette, brawling, foul play, cheap shots and which can exact these rules on their opponent.
These rules are based on mutual respect for your opponent and not showing up your opponent, especially if their jobs are on the line. But what are they? Ninh explains!

I’m aware that there’s a few other things I could have added in the video, such as:
- No charging. When someone is about to tag you out at a base, charging at them will get you 40 fresh new enemies.
- Don’t get caught stealing signs. Signs get stolen on a regular basis, being caught doing this is asking for a drilling.
- If a pitcher has a problem with a specific player, they can choose to drill them when they next come to bat, instead of hitting the next batter up.
Anyone think of any more?

@@rjflesher yes, exactly!
These baseball players sound like cry babies
Dude, you kill it EVERY time!
pitchers aka the most ego fragile position in sports
A batter commented this
Oooh I’m scared of the pitcher because he has control of the main piece of play in the sport and can do whatever he wants with it
@@padre619 Padres fan who doesn't remember the tatis grand slam apparently
@@07ProdPhilly 🤦🏻♂️ I commented this cuz I wanted to be a pitcher before I was kicked out of high school not because I primarily watch pitching, people on the internet be like "padres fan say" and then they go and spit something stupid
@@padre619 And that's fine if I could I would be a 2 -Way Player in high school but my pitching sucks. I just find it funny that your taking the pitchers side while your franchise player has been the victim of this unwritten rule bs. Juan Soto shuffle tho
“Take it like a man, dont be a bitch”, bruhhhhhh try taking a 80-90 mph anywhere, that ain’t easy to not show pain
Seriously. How about the pitcher doesn't act like a bitch.
I completely understand the "don't be a dick" part of the unwritten rules, but the majority of them are nothing more than glorified mercy rules - like what you find in youth sports. Mercy rules in youth sports make sense, but are dumb and stupid in professional sports. If pro baseball players don't play to win from start to finish, regardless of whether they're ahead or behind, then what's the point of playing at all? Might as well declare "mercy," call the game after the 6th inning, thank the fans for attending and send everyone home, saving them a lot of wasted time and effort of just going through the motions for nothing. I've never been much of a baseball fan, and these "unwritten rules" make me dislike it even more. Thank you Ninh for solidifying that for me. Another great video and look forward to more.
Agreed! Unlike most games, baseball has no time limit. A team that is down 10-0 in the 8th inning can win 10-11 in the 9th. There‘s no point in having 9 innings if both teams aren‘t willing to play all 9. And the same goes for potential no-hitters...
Thanks Brian. I think you hit the nail on the head.
The mercy rules really ruin it and the 'don't be a dick' rules are good in theory, but it turns players into a whining bunch of ... .... you can fill in the blanks.
Celebrating your victory is what’s called wages, it’s what you’ve earned. And to be accused of being a dick is just crybabies that lost being a sore loser.
Believe it or not these rules exist in almost every sport you can think of.
@@jediknight5600 not as bad as these lol
I've been a baseball fan all my life. I've known about these rules (more or less) but have never seen them so well explained. Great video for a new Ninh Ly fan.
Thanks! I appreciate your kind comments. Check out my channel for more like this :)
As a hockey fan, this is why I'm struggling to get into baseball. A pro sports team should have one goal, and that's to win
"as a hockey fan"
Hockey has unwritten rules similar to baseball. The hell ya smoking?
The difference is that MLB games last for hours since there is no time limit, and they play over 162 games a season.
Pro sport only exists cos people pay to watch it or from advertising. It's also about giving the spectators an experience.
That's BS. If small acts of courtesy that come up maybe once in every one or two games is all it takes to irk you, then you were never that interested in the first place.
@@vDeadbolt Hockey's unwritten rules are made in the interest of player safety. "If you board my teammate head first I'm gonna kick your ass" is a lot different from "you celebrated a double so now I'm going to hurl a hard ball at your teammate's head." Hockey's rules encourages clean and exciting performances while also punishing dirty plays. Baseball's unwritten rules are about player's not wanting to feel like they are as bad as they really are, and will injure an opponent because they're losing. Whenever a game has a code that encourages a player to take an initiative to not win, the code is broken.
@@CalvinizedSteel they enforce the safety of players by allowing players to beat the living crap out of each other. Got it.
“Just charge the mound”- the legendary coach Kent Murphy
Seemed to work for him!
I learned in rec league ball around the 9th grade that the problem with charging the mound is pitchers team usually gets there before yours. Side note: that dude hit me 3 times in 1 game
@@bfg5291 that's when you tag the catcher with the bat instead
The most sacred rule of baseball that nobody bothered to write down: "Don't do anything that might hurt the pitcher's feelings."
Jayce Tingler STILL owes Fernando Tatis, Jr. - who did nothing wrong - a big, fat, public, apology
I kinda covered that ... but the Tatis Jr thing was stupid.
@@NinhLyUK nope, pitchers like them are bunch of cry babies. they payed million to play and win. stupid unwritten rules are moving baseball backward.
if a pitchers threw 2 back to back homeruns and Im next, idgaf if hes having a bad game, imma make him have a horrible game lmao. Gotta make the manager take him out
Dugout emptying brawl speedrun (any %)
An unwritten rule that I would add is, if the pitcher hits you on purpose with the ball then you get a free shot on him with the bat. Would fix things real fast.
TRUE
Fully agree
Baseball players are always in their feelings
Seemingly yes.
@@NinhLyUK good video thou look forward to the next post
Don't blow a 3-1 series lead. It'll make you and your teammates look weak
Is that an unwritten rule? Because it seems more like common sense to me?
Don't forget that the odds of the braves winning the series at that point were 28 to 3.
...And especially, don't do it to your cross town arch rivals during the League Championship Series.
or... Being the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS
Throwing the ball at the opponent's body is stupid, I even saw some of the players who got mad and decide to throw the baseball bat at them.
Some of these unwritten rules can be easily summed up by Wheaton's Law: "Don't be a dick."
I've actually never heard of 'Wheaton's Law' - learn something new every day and it kinda makes sense.
Thanks!
Not really, these rules just make baseball players sound like the biggest crybabies with the frailest egos in professional sports.
In no other sport is there this level of being a whiny little girl ingrained in the sport itself.
This sport makes soccer look manly.
Maybe they've developed all these "habits" because it's barely a sport with virtually no contact. So because there's not really good opportunities for "punishing" each other in the actual playing of the game they have to make up stuff or use the pitcher to enforce these pathetic frail ego unwritten rules.
In every other sport, like football or basketball, you're not exactly encouraged to run up the score but the other team doesn't get to have a player who everyone agrees gets to take it out on you like a baby if you "break the rules that aren't even real rules". If you're crushing in football, they can try to hit you hard but that's already part of the game every play. But in football, if you're good enough to "run up the score" on another team, they probably aren't going to be able to do much more to any of your guys than they already legally have the ability to anyway on every other play.
As a primarily combat sport based fan and participant (mma, BJJ, boxing, Muay Thai, Judo, wrestling, etc) I just can't stomach the pathetic nature of baseball and it's crybaby "unwritten rules". In my sports, don't like what someone is doing? Hit them harder. And they don't throw punches like sissies like baseball players do. Pitchers can throw 100mph fastballs but can't throw a punch that uses the same hip turnover better than a teenage girl. Pathetic.
@@Silence-and-Violence don’t call football soccer, plz
@@Silence-and-Violence and honestly your logic is what’s pathetic, it looks like you want the sport as an excuse for unnecessary violence and moron-like behavior to happen... the ideia of playing involves everyone having a good time. Last time I check you’re hardly gonna have a good time if there’s an .sshole misbehaving. It’s a game. Not a war. You sound like someone one wouldn’t wanna be in a game with or against
@@alanmlkbanda it's professional sports broski.
This isn't rec league soccer or even high school football -- we're talking about professional sports. It's about money and winning. As a player, your stats dictate a lot for your career so why should you be punished by "unwritten rules" that stop you from getting a higher hitting stat or home run stat. It's not about "having fun" and making sure everyone is "enjoying themselves". It's about winning, championships, and money.
You misunderstand what I'm complaining about. Maybe you don't understand the topic. In baseball, it is considered acceptable for the pitcher who can throw like 100mph to throw a ball at people as punishment for breaking an "unwritten rule". I am against that. I am arguing against the violence. I think it's pathetic they resort to this violence over things like batters watching their home run sail away, batters flipping their bats after a big hit, batters running the bases too slow on a home run, batters swinging their bat on a 3-0 count when they're up on points, etc. This is pathetic.
I'm not asking for more violence in baseball, I'm arguing against it. Pitchers need to stop being such crybabies and need to not resort to retaliatory violence when their feewings get hurt.
The idea that hurling a giant object with the consistency of a rock at a high speed is in any way, shape or form a valid response to a breach of etiquette is absolutely astounding.
Right then! Cricket anyone?
I understand and agree with not running up the score or trying hard when behind in football or basketball. But baseball? Eff that. There's no clock in this game. Every team is technically still alive until the game is over. I've seen eight run deficits erased with no outs suffered in major league baseball.
And Bautista's bat launch at 2:54 is the coolest fucking thing I've ever seen in a baseball game.
Rule #1: Fair, I guess.
Rule #2: Why wouldn't you swing at a 3-0 pitch? At least if you miss, the pitcher gets a strike, regardless of whether it was in the strike zone.
Rule #3: Why wouldn't you do anything you can to try to narrow the margin and give yourself an outside shot at winning?
Rule #4: Why? So his feelings won't get hurt? If you allow back to back home runs, you are an ineffective pitcher and don't deserve to have a job as one.
Rule #5: Makes sense.
Rule #6: Kind of an archaic etiquette thing, but okay.
Rule #7: Why hit the next guy? He didn't commit the infraction. Wait until the offending player returns and drill him.
Rule #8: Old-fashioned notion of manliness, but whatever.
Rule #9: Fair enough, I guess.
Rule #10: Not sure why this is a problem when the ball is out of play.
Rule #11: Fair.
Rule #12: What innings are we talking about? Surely a bunt in the third or fourth innings can't be considered unsportsmanlike?
Rule #13: Good for team spirit.
Rule #14: They may have been pitching all their lives, but it still happens. Experienced bowlers in cricket bowl wides too. The excuse for missing by so much is that sometimes things don't go as planned.
Rule #15: Fair.
Rule #16: Makes sense.
Rule #17: Of course. Same in every sport.
Rule #18: Okay, I guess.
Rule #19: Are you supposed to show support even if your teammate was clearly in the wrong?
Rule #20: Absolutely.
Just my opinions.
Yes. Interesting opinions.
Man, you deserve at least 1 million subs. It's a shame how little recognition you get for such high quality videos. Keep up the good work!
Yeah, I totally agree with that.
And thanks!
Hey! A M A Z I N G video! I enjoyed every minute of it and learned a lot from baseball code and stuff you’re not supposed to do. This will make watching baseball much much easier. Thanks for an amazing video as usual!!
Thanks! I appreciate that!
I wonder what’s next after the code in hockey and baseball’s unwritten rules? Unwritten rules in basketball? Football??
I don't believe that there are as many as in Baseball and Hockey.
Maybe tennis
"Spirit of the game" in cricket.
There are a few unwritten rules in association football.
1. Don't celebrate if you score against a former club. That team may be your opponent today, but they had taken a shot on you in the past and many of the players on that team are your former teammates. If you score, politely decline any invitations to celebrate from your current teammates and just get on with it.
2. If an opposing player is injured and you have possession of the ball, put the ball out of bounds to stop play and allow the player to get the needed attention. Continuing to play on and forcing the opponent to play a man down while one of their guys is on the ground in a heap is a chicken-shit move.
3. If the opposing team put the ball out of play to allow you to get medical attention for an injured teammate, return the ball to them at the restart. This is a way of giving thanks to the opposing team for their good sportsmanship. The customary way to do this is to throw the ball in to your teammate and that teammate then boots the ball over to the opposing goalkeeper.
4. More of a referee's unwritten rule than a players' one, but the goalkeeper always gets more stringent foul protection than a field player. Since keepers have a pretty dangerous task of sometimes diving headfirst to catch a ball in the middle of a storm of players all trying to kick it, there's an understanding that referees need to protect them by enforcing fouls more strictly when they're committed against keepers.
5. Kissing the club's badge on your shirt after scoring is a sign of emotional loyalty to the club that goes beyond just a simple paycheck. Never do that if you're planning on an imminent transfer to another club. It's highly disrespectful. Also, don't do it if you've only just arrived at that club. It just looks like you're pandering to the fans if you do that.
@@Christopher_TGCompare with the rule of not swinging the ball after 2 back to back homeruns. In soccer, when the other goalkeeper is having a bad day, shoot! From anywhere, just shoot the ball at him, he may screw it again. And if it's raining, shoot the ball very low, to get a bad rebound hahaha. It could be good to compare those rules in other sports.
This is great man. Thanks for uploading this.
No problem!
Mate, the work you did with the music is amazing.
Thanks for for this video
Recently, and by that i mean several years ago, drilling has become more and more frowned upon, especially for minor things like taunting that could have gotten you or your teammates drilled in the 80s or 90s. mlb has come down hard on the practice, and umpires can and will throw pitchers out of the game for hitting a batter with or without warnings. unsortsmanlike conduct has to be pretty severe to earn a reprimand from the league itself, but a bench-clearing fight can lead to players being fined or suspended.
I've been playing and watching baseball my entire life and I still sometimes get confused about some unwritten rules. One of the first times I remember having a problem with an unwritten rule was when I swung on an 3-0 pitch the got hit by the next pitch and when I was going home with my dad I asked why the pitcher threw at me and all he said was "Don't piss off the pitcher because they control where the ball goes."
Daym
Well, it seems like there are some unwritten rules that even unexpected to be created. So, baseball has complicated rules like this
BTW, I like the music used here
Thanks. And the music is 'Hall of the Mountain King' by Kevin MacLeod
Great video man keep up the great work
Thanks man!
@@NinhLyUK No problem
I have watched baseball most of my life and teams do not follow some of those rules. At the Pro level, a team is supposed to try to win at all times. It's their job. There is nothing I hate more than a team going through the motions because they are behind several runs with a few innings to go. I have seen loads of games where a team has come back. There is nothing better than watching a pitcher's no-hitter gets broken up especially against a rival.
So, baseball is about being mercifull with the ones who can't win by their own effort, like the players from a team down by 10 runs, or the kid who lost the souvenir ball to a better prepared person :D That brings me some questions:
-What is the largest run difference in a MLB game?
-The same question as before, but with one team scoring 0 runs.
-Do great comebacks in a single game exist in that sport? Mainly, at middle season.
-What does the kid who catches a souvenir ball, making a great effort, think about the other kid whose ball was a mere gift? Why to make an effort anyway?
-Why did no one hit those ladies who took the ball away from the kids? (Mercy!)
-Why am I being such a douchebag? (I'm a soccer fan, and yes, our sport sucks, but at least we don't hesitate at humilliating other teams).
And I don't believe in gentlemanliness in this sport, with all those players finding and using loopholes with the new rules.
There’s one I might add, which is (and I’ve seen this happen in person) if you’re in the stands and a fielder is going to catch a ball near the wall, not to interfere with it as a fan
That's more common sense than anything else. Fans should interfere with games, and it's right that you get tossed from the ballpark.
@@NinhLyUK It was unwritten thought
How about the unwritten fan rule of throwing back an opposing team's homerun ball? :-)
If that rule gets broken, especially when it’s the playoffs.. *gulp* Well.. You’re screwed.
Example: Steve Bartman in Chicago
@@matthewlo7868 there was literally like 5 other people reaching for the ball other than Steve. Plus they weren’t reaching into the field of play
That is very true about stealing balls from kids.... Its proper fan adequate to give a caught ball to a kid, and it makes you feel good. These kids are growing up to love baseball, giving them the ball will be something they never forget.
Totally agree!
7:52 That's Ichiro, who keeps his bat and gloves in a part of the dugout where no one would touch them. He also kept his bats for storage in humidors.
Fully aware that's Ichiro.
Your so awesome Ninh! Always such a boss. Go Man U!
Thanks.
It’s a good thing you wrote these things down.
Indeed.
Will you do rules of Spikeball? It’s kinda a growing sport and there isn’t too many good tutorials on it.
Hello.
How is everyone?
Yeah I'm curios.
Haven't you asked for that one already?
I think Spikeball already has it's own explainer video.
@@NinhLyUK It does but it is not very well explained. Plus they have all the rules in one billion separate videos. If you can do one complete video that’s would be great.👍
Agreed with all of this except that the losing team shouldn’t be trying to steal bases. You play to win the game. The game isn’t over, you continue to try to win until they retire the last batter. There is a very written rule in every sport that you do not quit
Agreed. Also, I disagree with the bunting on a no hitter. Sure, it might suck for the pitcher, but the hitter is trying to win too. They shouldn't have to give up just so the other team can feel/look better. Your perfect game gets ruined because a guy decided to bunt? Tough shit, he's got sponsors he needs to please too.
@@darkknight5541no way, it’s bitchmade to bunt just to ruin someone else’s stats
@@FD_and_B So what? If I'm a Pro Athlete trying to make a winning, I'm going to try and win, and if the other team's ego takes a hit, then that's a sacrifice I'm going to make.
@@darkknight5541 it’s about honor. clearly you don’t get it
@@FD_and_B You can't pay bills with honor.
Baseball is silly with it's unwritten rules and lack of standardized diamond sizes and fence distances.
That's just the way it is.
The Diamonds are standardized, the outfield isn't. It's better that way tbh.
@@waifubreaks1572 I respectfully disagree. No other major sport has different field dimensions that seem to be arbitrary. I'm not sure if this was necessary due to the lack of size to place fields in the early days but nowadays new stadiums/fields are built all the time with non-standardized outfield, foul territory and fence heights.
SICK VID ninh!! I'd be interested in seeing more of your content. you don't always have to do sports rules. But if you have to do sports rules, can you do spikeball?
Thanks. Spikeball already has a video explaining their sport, there's nothing I can add to that.
@@NinhLyUK what you add is incredible HQ footage of high level sports. Your b-roll is incredible. If you made a second series of “best of (sport)” and released it after the rules explained video that’s something everyone would want to watch
@@drewblair3953 that's not a bad idea, thanks!
I understand - sometimes - drilling a batter, but I never understand throwing at a batter‘s head. That can literally kill somebody. No hurt feelings are worth risking paralyzing or killing a batter.
If you're that pissed off at someone, anything's possible.
The missing unwritten rule of baseball is that if the pitcher drills the batter, the batter gets to beat the pitcher to death with the bat
The unwritten rules should be encouraged during a regular season game, but not all of them should be during an international tournament like the World Baseball Classic where run differential is a tie-breaker. Case in point: During a group stage game between Canada and Mexico during the 2013 WBC, the Canadian player bunts himself on late in the game. The Mexican pitcher drills the next player; benches cleared.
Yeah, I mean it could be argued that the unwritten rules are antiquated in the 21st century and there's no need for them full stop. That incident you referred to kinda reflected that sentiment.
I remember the bat flip when Jose Bautista hit the home run to beat the Texas Rangers in game 5 to reach the ALCS. Although it is in the unwritten rules, it was one of the best moments in Toronto Blue Jays history.
As a Blue Jays fan, I totally agree!
IMO the punch was better, he got what he deserved for ramming into Odor like that, although I did disagree with Bautista getting HBP and thought the pitcher was being a baby.
6:29 fucking gigabrain move right there. Should be done more often
Being a cricket fan, now I know why cricket is called truly gentlemen's game
3:42
That is a super specific rule!
I don't think hitting someone with the pitch by accident is a no-no, but not owning up to it is. I also think that if a fielder makes an amazing play to rob you of a hit or a home run, you should acknowledge them. They are out there playing hard the same as you. Finally, there will be a winner and a loser, but players should take either outcome with grace.
I still find it interesting how bat flips are common in other baseball leagues, mainly the KBO League in South Korea. I wonder if you find that surprising?
The Korean Bat Flip is different, because they do it as the fastest way to dispose of a bat.
I don't think it's as showboaty as the American version, but who knows?
@@NinhLyUK In KBO League fans appreciate more celebrations after hits as seen in other sports like football (soccer) players do after making a goal. They think the key element for professional sports is to show fighting spirit to win the game. KBO fans in Korea wants to minimize outdated (and conservative) unwritten baseball rules which doesn’t fit modern professional sports trends.
DONT STEP ON THE FOUL LINES!!!
Is that a thing? I think that's more of a superstition than an unwritten rule?
@@NinhLyUK it’s kind of a superstition but I’ve never ever met a single player who didn’t believe it. I’ve seen teammates get into fights over stepping on the chalk. I’d consider it a rule.
@@zombichslayer5387 Wow, I used to play ball and I never heard that one. Nice info dude.

A narrators exercise in not sounding sarcastic while being VERY sarcastic.
200th comment! Great Ninh! Do more like this!
Edit #3 is the dumbest rule.
Further Edit #20 is the truest.
Yes, I agree that #3 sucks and #20 is the realest.
And thanks!
I didn’t know the unwritten rule of giving a baseball to the nearest kid. Although I’ve been to many games I never got a baseball mostly because I like to sit in the home run area and hopefully catch a homer. I will give it to the nearest kid if I ever get one. Great video. 👍
I admit I just clicked the video because I'm a Rangers fan, and love the image of Odor absolutely murking Bautista.
I hate the “Don’t bunt during a no hitter”, if the other team is leading by a bunch of runs, sure I get it. 1-run ball game though? Defend the bunt, a hit’s a hit
A hit's indeed a hit
Great video! Professional baseball in the US is much older than other pro sports, so not surprised to see so many unwritten rules. Lots of fun to watch with great explanations. I knew of a few, but many I had not known. Glad to see you putting out great content again. Thank you!
Thanks Taylor.
The only unwritten rule I agree with is the last one. It also happens to be the only rule that pertains to the people that the unwritten rules are really for... children
You play your best, I'll play my best! Everyone quit being crybabies, and pitchers are not special! You are all a team!
I agree with the "don't be a dick" ones, not so much the "don't violate the sanctity" nonsense.
Yes.
coming from australia, i enjoy the rules of baseball, but i think all of the unwritten rules are pretty immature. If you need the other team to help you not lose your job, you probably shouldn’t be in that job in the first place. “Rafael Nadal deserves to get a baseball pegged at his head because he beat another player 6-0”... said no one
1:46 Why? A team actually giving it their all, even if its clear they'll lose, is far more interesting than them giving up.
Like number 1000 😎
There's actually one more:
If your teammate is THIS close to a homerun, please don't shout and tell them to step on the base. That only makes them panic.
Been on the violating side of that before, that's why I know
You could argue that no-one is ever 'close' to a home run.
You either hit one or you don't.
Watching Bautista get clocked makes me smile every time I see it.
You should do the unwritten American football rules as a former player would love to see that hope your well over there brother
Is there that many? I know hockey and baseball have plenty.
Ninh, do you plan to do the rules of Indy 500 or motoGP in the future?
I'll consider it.
Had no idea they had fights in baseball. What is the punishment for this, ejection or suspension?
Also, why is stealing bases frowned upon? I always thought it was just a strategic way to sneak closer to home base
Yes, it's usually an ejection and a suspension if you cause the other guy damage.
As for stealing bases, it's generally fine. But if you're up by 13 runs with two innings left to play, realistically you're just delaying the inevitable.
Hey Ninh are there unwritten rules for (soccer) (America football) or (basketball) and if so can you do a video on them
I don't think there are as many as in baseball and hockey.
It's offensive interference and the runner is out if he impedes a fielder during an attempt to field or play a ball before it has been touched - and that applies to A.Rod's case - he would've been called out had an umpire heard it and determined he had said it to cause the drop. It's a written rule in 5.09 OBR.
Hey Ninh how are you doing
Good thanks.
No celebrating UNLESS you're a pitcher. And even if so dont celebrate too hard. You know what, nobody gets to celebrate. Ahhh Baseball
Ahh baseball indeed.
Must of these rules can be sumed up in one sentence. Pitchers are cry babies 😢 😭
Actually pitcher only rules count for only about 4 of them.
Hey Ninh you should make a video about Cycle Ball. It’s Cycling and Soccer mix together.
Haven't you asked for that already.
No
Extraordinary video. Outstanding job
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm glad I wasn't athletic enough to make the show. I'd have broken these rules, and the pitcher's who threw at me nose, as often as possible.
In Japan, players actually throw punches and they do not get ejected outright for fighting.
That's surprising, given that they're all about the etiquette.
0:45 I feel personally attacked
Some of these make sense, but some are just plain dumb. Your job is to win, and that's what you're going to do. If it hurts your feelings I hit a home run late in an 8-0 game, get over it. You're an adult
Basically, yes.
the unwritten rules are out of date, at least most of them, especially the ones stating if you are what i was told 6 runs up, don't steal, bunt, swing 3-0. Nullshit i have seen too many comebacks from score differences much more than six. I will not slow down nor will my team.
I am glad all of this is slowly starting to change
Unwritten rules really only apply in the MLB, pros outside of america is essentially bat flip land
The best part😂 - Fight no matter what😂
Most of these are just fine and boil down to not being a jerk. Many sports have unwritten rules of some form. Baseball has just been practically the same for a century or more, so the culture is very entrenched.
Great video and hopefully in the near future we see unwritten rules of football
I'll consider it.
Another unwritten rule: Don’t actually try to win ball games, because winning makes the other team feel bad so just beat to put in minimal effort because putting in full effort is taken as disrespectful
The drilling part they'll wait till the batter is back up at the plate in the same game or wait until they play again to hit then
You should do one for Basketball.
talk about goalball please?
I have no idea what that is?
@@NinhLyUK It's a sport mostly played by visually impaired and blind people, you basically throw a ball with bells in it and try and get it into the oppositions goal
heres a video: czcams.com/video/3vXLpcdtagQ/video.html
"you hurt my feelings, now I'm gonna throw this few inch in diameter ball at a minimum of 80mph directly at you or a teammate"
My teammate screwing up so I get drilled reminds me of collective punishment at school, 1 kid messed up so we all got punished for what he did, I hated that.
I’m a noob to baseball but I’m really starting to like the sport, can a baseball player please confirm if these are true? Do you guys actually follow these rules? And what happens if you break one of these rules by mistake?
These aren't actually rules, as the name implies they aren't against actual rule books. It's more of just manners. Alot of people don't like them. Many pitcher who are older still follow those rules like mad bum, and those guys are often hated.
As a cricket fan I can't really say how is this sports played even? Cricket is known as gentleman's game for centuries, still we have heated talka specially by the Aussies towards Subcontinent teams. We always like heated India-Pakistan rivalries.
Rule 7 is nuts
The centerfielder has the final call on any ball hit near him because he's usually the best defender, the best fielder. Stats for number of balls caught don't mean anything, no one cares about that.
A few of these are stupid like dont bunt during a no hitter like we already have no hits and struggling so lets give the pitcher another advantage for reasons
Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played between two opposing teams, of nine players each, that take turns batting and fielding. The game proceeds when a player on the fielding team, called the pitcher, throws a ball which a player on the batting team tries to hit with a bat. The objective of the offensive team (batting team) is to hit the ball into the field of play, allowing its players to run the bases, having them advance counter-clockwise around four bases to score what are called "runs". The objective of the defensive team (fielding team) is to prevent batters from becoming runners, and to prevent runners' advance around the bases.[2] A run is scored when a runner legally advances around the bases in order and touches home plate (the place where the player started as a batter). The team that scores the most runs by the end of the game is the winner.

The first objective of the batting team is to have a player reach first base safely. A player on the batting team who reaches first base without being called "out" can attempt to advance to subsequent bases as a runner, either immediately or during teammates' turns batting. The fielding team tries to prevent runs by getting batters or runners "out", which forces them out of the field of play. Both the pitcher and fielders have methods of getting the batting team's players out. The opposing teams switch back and forth between batting and fielding; the batting team's turn to bat is over once the fielding team records three outs. One turn batting for each team constitutes an inning. A game is usually composed of nine innings, and the team with the greater number of runs at the end of the game wins. If scores are tied at the end of nine innings, extra innings are usually played. Baseball has no game clock, although most games end in the ninth inning.
Baseball evolved from older bat-and-ball games already being played in England by the mid-18th century. This game was brought by immigrants to North America, where the modern version developed. By the late 19th century, baseball was widely recognized as the national sport of the United States. Baseball is popular in North America and parts of Central and South America, the Caribbean, and East Asia, particularly in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan.
In the United States and Canada, professional Major League Baseball (MLB) teams are divided into the National League (NL) and American League (AL), each with three divisions: East, West, and Central. The MLB champion is determined by playoffs that culminate in the World Series. The top level of play is similarly split in Japan between the Central and Pacific Leagues and in Cuba between the West League and East League. The World Baseball Classic, organized by the World Baseball Softball Confederation, is the major international competition of the sport and attracts the top national teams from around the world.
The very first point made (running up the score unnecessarily) should be told to players of other sports as well. The best example is the women's American soccer team after celebrating every single goal like it was their first goal in their 13-0 at the 2019 World Cup. The way they celebrated the later goals was disrespectful towards the opponents; especially Morgan's and Rapinoe's behaviors were out of line. But in soccer it's still tolerated, which is weird.
Yeah, it's pretty shady.
If you don’t want your opponent to score then stop them.
Well, actually I didn't really mean the score itself to be disrespectful (incorrect on my part), but the celebrations after the later goals were out of line in that game.
@@williamwilting in most european countries for soccer (football) mercy is seen as a sign of disrespect to your opponent. They will score as many goals as they can, because taking it easy shows that you don't respect them enough to play as hard as you can. That's the easiest way to explain it. Celebrations and taunts are generally not acceptable though in bad faith and can lead to "fights"
I disagree, like someone else said if you don’t want someone to score and subsequently celebrate stop them from scoring but also the only argument I could possibly entertain for not running up the score is the game taking too long…all the other major sports are timed
Korean Bat Flipping, or when you rewrite the unwritten rules
Korean Bat flipping isn't even that bad. It's the quickest way of disposing your bat after a hit.
Imma be honest, the superstitions players make when at bat are what actually makes baseball games longer these days.
Yes, I agree.
A lot of these make sense. But why in the fuck is flipping a bat seen as being a show off? I have never understood that.
I think because there's just no need for it.
@@NinhLyUK Then pitchers also should not shout out for stike outs. That’s fair sportsmanship.
Here is the only "rule" that matters;
If an unwritten rule is a good rule, it will become an actual rule.
The rest of the unwritten "rules" can GTFO.
I'm not sure how that would actually work.
You can’t in the same segment say it’s not OK to hit a batter accidentally or on purpose when you previously said that if you break one of the unwritten rules expect to get thrown at
