You should hear Joyce talking about it afterwards, I feel bad for him considering all the hate and death threats he received from retards that live in Detroit.
If you lose the ball mid tag then the runner is safe. You have to maintain control of the ball from the point of catching it to the point of the runner being called out.
Some of these are really close calls and shouldn't be on this list. This should be for terrible calls, not really close calls that would be nearly impossible to make with certainty without slow motion.
+Keith Austin Bronxbomber puts hard work into these and your typing a bs comment, do u know how hard it is to make these? Id like to see you do a better one.
If nobody criticizes how is he to know what he can do to make his videos even better? You're just a fucking idiot. Nothing else to even say. The world isn't a fucking "safe space" where everyone is perfect and nobody has any right to dissent.
Yeh, I know, plus he didn't include what is probably one of, if not the worst blown call in the history of MLB. A's-Indians anybody?? Ok, the putting the clips together is hard and he does a great job with that, but it starts with picking the right clips.
aviator259 That foul ball against Mauer. There is no way an ump could mess up that call he was staring right at it and called it foul when it was fair by almost a foot. Absolute BS call
I stumble across your video every so often and watch it again, and every time I get pissed that you included that last call. Are you trying to fuck with our heads? That shit was bang bang.
At least Jim Joyce was man enough to admit that he fucked it up. He said he thought he got it right, then saw it when he got off the field and felt really bad.
Last clip was a blown call? That's an extremely hard call to make. It's so close that it's hard to tell and can be argued on both sides, but most calls like that will go to the runner since ties goes to the runners.
Mikey114411 That's how it's suppose to be and good umps will use that. A lot of times they just pick the home team side so they're not booed. Other times they just suck, but I gotta give them props. It's a lot more difficult than what it looks like.
+Taylor Chase Mikey11411 is correct, there is no such rule that says tie goes to the runner. Its made up. By the way the rulebook reads it actually is the other way around. Also, I its a dumb statement. I have been umpiring 10 years now and I have worked games at every level from 10 year olds to college, and not once have I stopped and said "oh, that was a tie, that means its this call." You make a judgment one way or the other when you see it.
+NSU 42 I believe the rule book states that the runner or the base must be tagged BEFORE the runner reaches the base. Therefore by rule a tie should go to the runner
As others have stated some of these are just really close calls, I don't know if that necessarily makes them blown calls. Joyce's can in the Galarraga game was definitely a blown call, same with Tschida's phantom tag and the two guys near third with McClelland, among others you have. But I mean with that one laced down the line by Beltran, that happens so quick. The one you end on was also extremely close, the final replay shows he was out, but as an umpire me and any of my partners would have called that one a coin flip. Now the inclusion of such close calls tells you a lot about fans. Umpires are going to make mistakes and will never be 100% perfect, the expectation for them to be is insane. A point that further demonstrates this is the call by Jim Joyce. Joyce is widely considered one of the best umpires in baseball by players and coaches. Even not long after he made this mistake ESPN conducted a pole of MLB players and they had still voted him #1. Though what is everyone going to remember about Joyce when he retires. "Oh, he's that terrible umpire that blew a perfect game." Someone already said it on here. We don't remember the good umpires, we only remember the bad ones. Truer words could not have been said.I want to note that the Cardinals commentator in the Beltran clip should probably loose his job. He comments "that it is where the ball crosses the bag." And unless I'm wrong on this (I watched the clip multiple times and don't think I am), the ball clearly doesn't land until it has passed third base. Although the ump was wrong, it was fair. Where it crosses the bag is irrelevant in that case as it doesn't matter. It only matters where the ball landed. I'm pretty sure anybody paid to talk about baseball should probably know this rule.A couple of these calls are also just a mistake in positioning by the umpire or not making the proper reads to get in a better position. I would say this is true for the Pirates vs. Braves call. Their teaching umpires now to go third base line extended (imaginary line continuing past home from the third base line) generally for plays at the plate. It gives you a better look at the sweep tag generally. They also teach start at the point of the plate and make the necessary reads to get into position as the play happens. Meals goes left, or first base extended, he's blocked from getting a good look at the tag by the runner, as he also didn't take much of a read step to readjust. In the case when Helton came off the bag same issue with not taking a read step. Helton stretched towards the umpire and probably blocked him from truly seeing what happened. The umpire should have taken a step to get a better look as this was happening. Also, the commentator is wrong as that would have been a play the umpire could have asked for help on as his partners would've had additional information that he did not.
The PIT-ATL clip at 6:00 is not a blown call. The catcher may have had the ball far ahead of the runner, but he did not actually make the tag. He made a poor swiping tag that did not touch the runner, thus he was safe and Atlanta won.
+molly mccabe BS. No umpire in their right mind would admit to intentionally making a wrong call so they could go home, they would be fired immediately.
Conner Anthony wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwqwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwawwwwwwwwwwwwqwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwWwwwwwwawwwwwwwwawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
There was no blown call when Beltran fouled it. It appeared to be foul to me. Please tell me if I'm wrong because that was foul in my eyes. Like if you think Jerry Meals should be fired by the MLB.
***** Okay, thanks. I clearly must be blind if I thought Kendrick was safe lol. Also, I didn't see the ball hit the chalk I just saw it land mainly on the foul side of the bag.
Don Cameron I don't get it either... Catcher tags runner but drops the ball, runner touches home... how is that not safe? The one at 7:00 we're talking about, right? Just after the Jerry Meals travesty? Throw comes in, catcher tags the runner but drops the ball. Runner is safe, call is safe, where's the problem?
+NippleOfOdin For some reason, people love the "human" element. They're afraid of breaking away from "tradition" for the better. In other words, they love it when calls are blown.
Everybody is gonna talk about the blown perfect game call but as a pirates fan that 19 inning game got me so damn pissed i stopped watching baseball for like a month after watching that game
+Jackson Nichols No it wasn't. There still isn't any solid proof that the catcher actually touched the runner with the tag. He swiped at him and you couldn't tell for certain if he even touched him or not. But this narrative has been created in peoples mind that it was a horrible blown call just because the catcher swiped at him so far away from home plate.
+Jackson Nichols I wouldn't say that call is as bad as people say. I have still yet to see an angle that shows the glove convincingly touching his leg there. The reason people are so uptight over that one is how the throw beat him so bad. No there are worse calls than that one, like Jeter's home run and Mauer's foul double, that we have irrefutable proof that the call was wrong. At worst this call is a missed call, not a blown call (which I would define as not just obviously wrong but egregiously wrong)
+Jackson Nichols Nah I think the Twins/Yankees blown call is worse ESPECIALLY given the stakes. I have always felt that is the most blatant fix job (by an umpire that is) of all time or at least ranks right up there. It changed that entire game and really the series with it. Mauer doubles there, the Twins perhaps take the lead/win that game and then who knows. But instead cause he didn't they got swept out. That one call had a HUGE impact on that series.
I know that bad ball/strike calls are a bit subjective and likely to not make it in this type of video, but there was one from a Tex/TB game where Joe Nathan struck out Ben Zobrist looking on a ball near the dirt that ended the game.
This video really makes one appreciate how much instant replay has fixed. I'm an old school type of guy when it comes to baseball but replay was long overdue for the game.
+TheBreadman904 sure is isn't it? that 09 one was especially bad though. I mean HE WAS RIGHT THERE! There's no way you miss that unless it's intentional IMO.
even tho I am a Yankees fan I'm not biased,the Yankees we're easily the best team in those days no doubt.Also 2009,plulease I'm pretty sure the Yankees would've won either way.Its not the Yankees fault that sometimes they get favored at some points,but, it's not like other teams don't.These days we're not getting favored at all.I still have faith.Also,don't come at me with "A-Roid" because David Ortiz did PEDS.Plus,we've have a long list of legends.
We're human, we all make mistakes. Some teams (like the Yankees) have lots of good luck and some teams (like my Chicago Cubs) have lots of bad luck (though this year we're pretty good)
I'm not saying that's any better or that other manipulations (across all the major sports frankly) don't happen, I believe they do. But you can't tell me that wasn't a critical play in that game. It changed the whole thing around. Going from a man on 2nd in extras to not, is not insignificant.
Derek Colwelll That's an EXTREMELY hard call to make correctly but the definition of a blown call is a call that is wrong and can clearly be seen wether it gets slowed down or at a different angle
William Sullivan I dont watch MLB consistently, but it's my understanding that and umpires call rarely gets overturned.. so to me in that scenario at the angle the umpire was in, I cant expect him to make that call any better then he did.
First of all, the braves - pirates 19th inning call was correct, McKenry swiped and missed lugo. Second, the Yankees effing suck and they pay the umps to make the calls in their favor. Third, this channel needs more love; these compilations are EPIC
Hi, I'm Sam, I play baseball for a nearby travel team, whenever I make mistakes in a game because I play shortstop I always watch your videos to c how if there's something close to it, not to not make the same mistake, thank you for your channel and it's fine if u don't, but can u make an all amazing shortstop best position video? It's fine if u don't and it's amazing how u can make these
Because that kid told you to. You post what you want. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks and I might be getting a PS4 tomorrow or the next day with MLB 15 the show and do you still have Twitter
I don't really know but it looks to me like he didn't even touch home plate. I'd like to see a different angle on that one just to see if he did or not.
Darthvader2345 Or slow it way down but it looks like he barely did. Otherwise he got his foot i'm guessing. I mean touching the catchers foot not the plate
I think the reason the Holliday was called safe was because The Home Plate Umpire said that catcher Michael Barret was Blocking the plate before he had possession of the ball so he was ruled safe.
+Ryan Petry Really? Assuming a 2.5 hour game, on a day that every team plays, there is almost 38 hours of baseball. The season is six months long. There is more than six months of baseball in the regular season. Oh and this video takes plays from multiple seasons. We are talking decades of source material here. And you think ten minutes is bad?
+Caleb Hinrichs What about the ones that don't go their way though? There are just as many of those, but they didn't get on this video for some reason.
i´m trying to be unbias here and it definitively looks like he didn´t touch him with the glove. I understand the ball beat him, and that he was in front, but it looks like he never tagged him, it looks more like a bullfighting courting.
I've lived 35 miles from NYC my whole life so I've seen plenty of Yankees games. There is not a team in sports who gets the benefit of more shit calls than the Yankees. Thanks to the guy who made this video for reminding me that I'm not just a crazy Yankees hater. The Yankees really do get the calls year after year.
+Michael Quindlen No you are just a crazy Yankee hater, and he did just choose to focus on the ones going for, rather than the ones going against them.
+Michael Quindlen Thank you. I don't think the Yankees are necessarily paying the umps off, but I do suspect that all the Yankee prestige gives the umps just a little bit of unconscious bias which, in a split-second of doubt or uncertainty, makes them side with the NY.
Life before the challenge/replay - Every moment on this list is sad and embarrassing for umpires. It was hard to move on past such awful calls from the past. You feel like the game no longer matters. Nothing matters. If the umpire is in a bad mood, he can do whatever he wants.
I still remember the call that gave atlanta the win against the pirates. the pirates were having their first good season since 1992 (lol) and they were on a roll but after that call they didn't win as much and missed the playoffs.
"A huge break for the Yankees"
Yeah.........that seems to be a theme here.....
So you had to have it all figured out, didn't you?
TBSandNFL go Yankees
You salty yanks need to chill it’s a joke
mob and Vegas have the final say
The Galaraga no hitter blown by the ump just physically hurts to watch
Yeah I hate watching that it was so obvious he was out! I mean a 2 year would get that call correct its just so painful!!
*perfect game
Perfect game*
*Game Perfect*
My family was sad because that was clearly out yep it was out but am also a yanks fan
Helton's play and the way he just ran in to the dugout has me laughing everytime!
Hahaha he's running like a kid who just got away with murder
He sold it,one of the most underrated defensive 1st baseman of all time,saw him doing amazing things at Coors Field!!
Notice how most of them favor the yankees
Of course
+Hector M I wonder why...
The '96 world series was rigged for them
The mob and Vegas are the only thing you need to know
The Todd Helton one is hilarious!
I love that you dont use music in your videos.
The Jim Joyce incident STILL gets me mad.
I'm an Indians fan. And that shit still pisses me off to this day.
Gallaraga had a perfect game and Jim Joyce blew the call with 2 outs in the 9th
He's got a perfect game in my book
I'm on tigers fan I watched that man that hurt
You should hear Joyce talking about it afterwards, I feel bad for him considering all the hate and death threats he received from retards that live in Detroit.
+Andrew Wright I'm a Giants fan and that even hurt me. It sucks to see a young guy get an awesome achievement taken away from him like that.
+Clare Sanger I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY, NOTHING DIFFERENT. GO GIANTS, JIM JOYCE SUCKS. WHY AM I USING CAPS LOCK?
One Red Sox fans will never forget is in the ALCS when Alex Rodriguez knocked the ball out of Bronson Arroyo's glove and he was called safe
If you lose the ball mid tag then the runner is safe. You have to maintain control of the ball from the point of catching it to the point of the runner being called out.
cynderfan2233 Rodriguez was in his running motion but actually slapped the ball out of Arroyo's glove
IBonilla13 but just the initial call. It did get reversed but the umpire originally called him safe
IBonilla13 I am a redsox fan but I used to like the Yankees and still to this day I am still a arod fan
8:30 Is that Kenan Thompson umpiring third? Lol
His identical....maybe
Bronx, you keep cranking these out and I'll keep watching. Great stuff.
Another great video. Thank you for making these
Some of these are really close calls and shouldn't be on this list. This should be for terrible calls, not really close calls that would be nearly impossible to make with certainty without slow motion.
especially the one at the 8 min mark it was wrong but u can't blame him for that

If nobody criticizes how is he to know what he can do to make his videos even better? You're just a fucking idiot. Nothing else to even say. The world isn't a fucking "safe space" where everyone is perfect and nobody has any right to dissent.

I thought Joe Nathan's "strikeout" of Ben Zobrist would be on here. That ended a game on a curveball that ended up 2 feet outside.
just wanted to say keep up the good work. just recently found you and love all the videos you make!
love your videos keep em coming!
Make a Hidden Ball Trick video
BmoreFan219 Yea thats a really good idea
BmoreFan219 I AGREE
Do it
BmoreFan219 yes plz do it
You got it.
As a Tigers fan that Galarraga call still gives me nightmares...
same
***** Only 23 perfect games have been thrown in over 135 years...A perfect game is a bigger deal than winning a game...
6 no nos and some perfect games this year...
Eric shumway *no perfect games
aww really? Bummer.
Another great video. Thank you for making this
I can't get over how great this channel is.
Without implications, the Helton off the bag out call is far worse of a call than Galaragas
No way in hell that last play should be considered a "blown call." That was unbelievably close.
***** ehhh, a a blown call is a very obvious miss, imo, which it wasn't.
Socia's little walk/run along the railing to get out of the dugout cracks me up.
Bronx I love your videos. Way to put in all the effort in making these.
The Angels always get fucked with bad calls
Yankees have the umps in their pockets
Hell yeah we do!!
aviator259 That foul ball against Mauer. There is no way an ump could mess up that call he was staring right at it and called it foul when it was fair by almost a foot. Absolute BS call
I don't call them bronx buyers for nothing
aviator259 Just stop. Every team gets good and bad calls.
hitdoctor24 you must be a yankees fan
hey men love watching all ur videos great work bro hope u keep posting about baseball
I love your videos man!
Sometimes I feel like we don't have professional umpires during these games after watching this
Ya should have put on here that Joe Nathan strike out on Ben Zobrist to end a game where the pitch was no where near the strike zone
Your baseball compilations are the best!
I stumble across your video every so often and watch it again, and every time I get pissed that you included that last call. Are you trying to fuck with our heads? That shit was bang bang.
bronxbomber your awsome
+Ruben Garcia Thanks Ruben!
+BronxBomber42 Good video, too! I would also like to see a video with the same calls called by the radio broadcasters, national radio and local radio.
Best baseball montages/compilations
+Jonathan Ashbeck That's called Must C on MLB.com
Either way I like Must C on MLB.com.
Everything I watch the tigers one with Jim Joyce I just get sad
At least Jim Joyce was man enough to admit that he fucked it up. He said he thought he got it right, then saw it when he got off the field and felt really bad.
Yeah, that was good of him to do but as a Tigers fan, it stinks because it makes him less hateable
Hate able*?
I have nightmares of that call
BronxBomber42 thank you so much I love your videos I love baseball thanks for everything!!
Love your videos man
I'm blind, I'm deaf, I wanna be a ref
In baseball it's ( I'm blind I'm plump I want to be an ump)

It's actually ridiculous how many of these calls benefited the Yankees. Great video man. Keep them up.
This is why I am so so very glad that replay/reviewing plays was introduced. Long time coming
Or do collisions at home
I would call the last 2 blown calls. both were really tough calls to make and could have gone either way
This doesn't make sense but hey you tried
+Ryan A. I know, blown calls are not tough ones
the last one he didn't actually catch it until he was safe
+Ryan A. shit I meant wouldn't instead of would. my bad lol
Tie goes to the runner
I'm a Tigers fan and no matter how many times I watch that it hits me hard in the heart. This one hurts most baseball fans to watch.

Tazzer88 you must be blind
That play is clearer than day
6:35 "and he's saying that he wasn't tagged??" 😂😂 hilarious the way that guy says it....basically just calling the umpire an idiot
these calls make umpires look like jokes
The Gallaraga perfect game call still hurts me deeply. I'm not even a Tigers fan.
You should do errors and gaffes next
yea I'm tired of this Adam j Duncan shit.

+rZC BourneToClash obviously on the chalk
Hasheem Thabeet pause at 8:25
Where was the blown call in the Rockies game?
Don Cameron The catcher blocked Holliday's slide and he never touched the plate.
+BronxBomber42 he touched the plate and the catcher dropped the ball SAFE!
Shut the fuck up Stephen you idiot he is correct
Don Cameron I don't get it either... Catcher tags runner but drops the ball, runner touches home... how is that not safe?
The one at 7:00 we're talking about, right? Just after the Jerry Meals travesty? Throw comes in, catcher tags the runner but drops the ball. Runner is safe, call is safe, where's the problem?

+NippleOfOdin For some reason, people love the "human" element. They're afraid of breaking away from "tradition" for the better. In other words, they love it when calls are blown.
I love how you ended with one that was challenged. Very good on you to show the evolution of baseball like that
Everybody is gonna talk about the blown perfect game call but as a pirates fan that 19 inning game got me so damn pissed i stopped watching baseball for like a month after watching that game
Lol .. it was just 1 game dude. I understand it was horrible but really?
NightinGoals yeah but it just pissed me off was really enjoying myself 19 innings and it was a good game too and then it ended like that
***** The ump just wanted to go home he didnt want another inning haha
I agree. I think there should be a way to throw umps out, that was a disgrace.
That was a horrible call
Imo the pirates-braves home plate call was the worst ever.
+Jackson Nichols No it wasn't. There still isn't any solid proof that the catcher actually touched the runner with the tag. He swiped at him and you couldn't tell for certain if he even touched him or not. But this narrative has been created in peoples mind that it was a horrible blown call just because the catcher swiped at him so far away from home plate.

I love the broadcasters' reactions
This is painful to watch
Orta never made it pass second base. more painful should be the fact there was a game 6 at all.
Can you do a pick-off compilation please?
This video really makes one appreciate how much instant replay has fixed. I'm an old school type of guy when it comes to baseball but replay was long overdue for the game.
I only made it through half the video. I was getting too mad. That Hrbek thing still riles me up.
Funny how the majority of the Yankee's most recent World Series titles (96, 99, and 09) were possible thanks to these blown calls
+TheBreadman904 sure is isn't it? that 09 one was especially bad though. I mean HE WAS RIGHT THERE! There's no way you miss that unless it's intentional IMO.

I'm not saying that's any better or that other manipulations (across all the major sports frankly) don't happen, I believe they do. But you can't tell me that wasn't a critical play in that game. It changed the whole thing around. Going from a man on 2nd in extras to not, is not insignificant.
That Jeter "Homer" changed the momentum in that game entirely
Complete bullshit
I didn't know McCutcheon used to be white
lol jeter is so clutch that he gets a horribly blown call at the most clutch time. man's the GOAT
Can you make a video of Splash Hits at AT&T Park. Just thought it would be cool cause there is also a counter for it there :P
You want to call that last clip a blown call? Please... I'd love to see you make that call at full speed standing where the Ump was.
It's still blown
Thats your opinion.
Derek Colwelll That's an EXTREMELY hard call to make correctly but the definition of a blown call is a call that is wrong and can clearly be seen wether it gets slowed down or at a different angle
William Sullivan I dont watch MLB consistently, but it's my understanding that and umpires call rarely gets overturned.. so to me in that scenario at the angle the umpire was in, I cant expect him to make that call any better then he did.
+Derek Colwell yes i get what your saying but it still the calls still blown
how the hell do you not notice the first baseman literally lifting up the runner's leg.
Doesn't matter twins deserves that win
I like the part where you say that cheating doesn't matter.
+Jamie Hobbs well fuck minesota is so dead for sports all our teams consist of is young players or we get fucked over in the payoffs
The last two plays in the video were tough calls in real speed. I remember that Mauer "foul ball", man that sucked.
God bless the sportsmanship and grace of Armando Galarraga.
galarraga always hurts to watch
the second one ruined arnando galaragga's perfect game
no hitter,
+Jake Johnson no it was a prefect game until then..... I wish people would look stuff up before commenting
+Jake Johnson it was a perfect game dumb ass
+Jake Johnson Nope! It was a perfect game.
really I never knew that
The Galaraga play gives me chills every time I watch it
Excellent video, excellent channel; but it has to be the most frustrating video I've watched in a while.
0:55 I hate seeing that one
+Dalton G So close to a perfect game, then that fucking umpire messed it up :p
First of all, the braves - pirates 19th inning call was correct, McKenry swiped and missed lugo. Second, the Yankees effing suck and they pay the umps to make the calls in
their favor. Third, this channel needs more love; these compilations are EPIC
Jeez Louis! I can understand certain blown calls on the outfield walls, but in the infield is absolutely ridiculous!
Hey BB42
What do you think a bout a compilation of Appeal Plays?
I love your Videos! Keep up the good work :)
why do we need umpires. with all the technology why not get rid of all these stupid mistakes. and no its not part of the game.
1:19 So, was that a perfect game blown?
Yup
Yes. The umpire after that started receiving death threats and had to apologize and I think retire.
He did not retire. Jim Joyce still umpires to this day.
ya
1:00 that was the final out of a perfect game
Hi, I'm Sam, I play baseball for a nearby travel team, whenever I make mistakes in a game because I play shortstop I always watch your videos to c how if there's something close to it, not to not make the same mistake, thank you for your channel and it's fine if u don't, but can u make an all amazing shortstop best position video? It's fine if u don't and it's amazing how u can make these
Where did your batman gameplay go?
Took it down. Just decided to keep it baseball only.
Because that kid told you to. You post what you want. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks and I might be getting a PS4 tomorrow or the next day with MLB 15 the show and do you still have Twitter
+Team Rvhx No he didn't tell me to at all. I took it down because people come here to see baseball lol that's what I'm known for.
+Team Rvhx And no more social media accounts for this channel lol no one follows them.
Whats your PS4 network gamer tag
What was wrong with holiday and the rockies?
I don't really know but it looks to me like he didn't even touch home plate. I'd like to see a different angle on that one just to see if he did or not.
Darthvader2345 Or slow it way down but it looks like he barely did. Otherwise he got his foot i'm guessing. I mean touching the catchers foot not the plate
On one angle he was 6 inches of the plate lol
CLASSIC RUSH3R But it looked like he reached in and pulled out but it also looked like he missed by alot
I think the reason the Holliday was called safe was because The Home Plate Umpire said that catcher Michael Barret was Blocking the plate before he had possession of the ball so he was ruled safe.
The worst to me was the Gallaraga call by Jim Joyce...but the way Joyce responded and admitted and apologized was classy.
I'm too lazy to check... Have you done a Best Manager Blow up/Ejections.?
How was the call at 7:23 a blown call
It was a World Series game
Holiday never touched the plate. It was a one game playoff to get into the playoffs.
+Nicholas Harmantzis Yes he did touch the plate, you're an idiot if you think otherwise.
+babaganoush56 He still hasn't touched home plate.
Alright buddy, if you want to be a fucking moron go ahead.
sad that this video is 10 minutes long...bad umps...
You couldnt do it
+Ryan Petry Really? Assuming a 2.5 hour game, on a day that every team plays, there is almost 38 hours of baseball. The season is six months long. There is more than six months of baseball in the regular season. Oh and this video takes plays from multiple seasons. We are talking decades of source material here. And you think ten minutes is bad?
mrjimi1 yes
This is why replays are good
And THIS is why replay challenges were created...
Y do people blame the Yankees it's not their fault
Ikr
tonyblaise1 I don't blame the Yankees, I blame the umps for handing calls to the Yankees
The Yankees cheat
Also fuck the Yankees
+Caleb Hinrichs What about the ones that don't go their way though? There are just as many of those, but they didn't get on this video for some reason.
the one at 6:05 hurts
As a Bucs fan i agree
+Gabe Kemp I'm a bucs fan too
+MLB the show gaming it seemed like the umpire was so tired that he wanted the game to end
+Joshua San Diego true
i´m trying to be unbias here and it definitively looks like he didn´t touch him with the glove. I understand the ball beat him, and that he was in front, but it looks like he never tagged him, it looks more like a bullfighting courting.
I've lived 35 miles from NYC my whole life so I've seen plenty of Yankees games. There is not a team in sports who gets the benefit of more shit calls than the Yankees. Thanks to the guy who made this video for reminding me that I'm not just a crazy Yankees hater. The Yankees really do get the calls year after year.
+Michael Quindlen No you are just a crazy Yankee hater, and he did just choose to focus on the ones going for, rather than the ones going against them.
+Michael Quindlen Thank you. I don't think the Yankees are necessarily paying the umps off, but I do suspect that all the Yankee prestige gives the umps just a little bit of unconscious bias which, in a split-second of doubt or uncertainty, makes them side with the NY.
Life before the challenge/replay - Every moment on this list is sad and embarrassing for umpires. It was hard to move on past such awful calls from the past. You feel like the game no longer matters. Nothing matters. If the umpire is in a bad mood, he can do whatever he wants.
You make the best videos!
Are you going to do no hitters or perfect games?
That Twins and Braves game,he did lift his leg off.
I still remember the call that gave atlanta the win against the pirates. the pirates were having their first good season since 1992 (lol) and they were on a roll but after that call they didn't win as much and missed the playoffs.
1992 world series. umpire blew a call on Kelly Gruber's tag for a triple play. Amazing all round play started off by Devon White's catch.
