00:00but can you look at it because uh i'd really like you to look at he's like look at what he's like
00:04well okay are you guys talking about my call are you discussing my call welcome to watch mojo and
00:10today we're counting down our picks for the most on point insightful and surprisingly funny baseball
00:16breakdowns from john boy media meanwhile cost is over there looking like the keg delivery dude
00:22from accepted here order two dozen kegs number 10 real muto's eye roll professional athletes are
00:30supposed to take things seriously john boy would have us believe the opposite occurred in this
00:35phillies mets matchup from august 2019 host jimmy o'brien makes comedic mincemeat of pitcher jared
00:41hughes who barrels out of the bullpen like an olympic track star and looks visibly out of breath
00:45on the mound making the moment even funnier is the eye roll hughes appears to get from his catcher
00:50jt real muto bring in the new guy oh my god why are you running so fast you're clearly not in
00:56shape to do that real muto's like jesus christ is this mother f***er again this brief expression
01:01quickly went viral forcing real muto to clarify that his annoyance stemmed more from his team's
01:06overall performance first pitch is a ball 91 now it's 1-0 still trying to catch his breath
01:13but considering that hughes gave up a homer and was pulled from the game after throwing two
01:20measly pitches it's still a hilarious interpretation of the pitcher's lack of discipline
01:24he walks off slowly gonna go catch his breath and shower after that long workout and they bring in
01:29another pitcher who's normal and jogs in at a nice pace as they wait for him what an atrocious outing
01:36and kind of just bad for the hughes brand number nine the umpire without a clue john boy is renowned
01:43for his lip reading abilities and he makes the best use of them with this confusing interaction during a
01:48marlins tigers game after getting chirps from the miami dugout umpire ben may throws the ejection
01:53signal the only problem is the marlins have no idea who got tossed and it soon becomes clear that
01:59neither does may whoever said that's low i said no more who was it whoever it was you don't even know
02:07who you tossed with manager skip schumacher trying to make sense of things john boy not only reads each
02:12person's lips brilliantly but also matches everyone's tone by swapping out cadences that's who
02:17that's what we're doing gotta pick anybody that said something who somebody's going who just gotta
02:27pick someone pick somebody while undeniably funny it's also an enlightening deconstruction of a head
02:33scratching exchange and may's call for schumacher to quote pick someone to throw out like he's on
02:38survivor should speak to anyone who's ever been frustrated with an umpire's call pick somebody in
02:44the dugout that is the first time i've ever i mean all he's doing is clapping uh this is this is
02:53unbelievable it was actually break it up number eight livello loses it a good manager protects their
03:02players while also admitting when they're wrong that's tori livello in a nutshell and this breakdown of a
03:07heated call is all the proof we need in a game against the giants livello blows his top after
03:12the diamondbacks are called for obstruction allowing the giants runners to advance so they have
03:18obstruction obstruction by who uh your second baseman okay who's called obstruction who called it
03:28the thing is as john boy astutely points out the umps were right and livello simply didn't see it
03:33that does not stop the commentator from pulling off an impressive lip reading as he encapsulates
03:38the manager's irritation to a tee did you put your hands up nick you're called did you put your hands
03:44up did you see obstruction from where but livello is a consummate professional owing up to his mistake
03:52afterwards and in a surprising meta moment even calling upon john boy to break things down all's well
03:58that ends well yeah john boy um jimmy's the best he's one of the best in the business um once in
04:03a while he texts me to ask me did you say this i couldn't read this quite right is this right
04:07so i'm gonna let him go blind on this one i'm gonna let him do his thing and see what he does
04:11for sure number seven a misunderstanding leads to ejection while irking an umpire is highly discouraged
04:18the guys in blue have a habit of blowing things out of proportion that is exactly what happened during
04:23this spring training game john boy once again zeroes in on a misunderstanding involving philly's
04:28catcher jt real muto and this one is so ridiculous that you cannot help but chuckle as the umpire hands
04:35the catcher a ball to throw to pitcher craig kimbrell real muto thinking kimbrell already had a ball
04:39drops his glove and the ump is made to look like a fool you know oh what a dummy now we got to pick up
04:46that ball and the ump's like that's it you've disgraced me you're gone real muto is promptly
04:51ejected for allegedly humiliating the ump but the lip reading completely vindicates the veteran
04:56backstop as he clarifies things saw him looking up so i thought he was throwing him the ball
05:01so i dropped my glove but then he thought that i did it on purpose and i don't know i just thought
05:07he was throwing him the ball uh and then we go back to the ump who's like well um i don't know
05:13o'brien's mastery of tone once again wins the day as real muto's remarkable composure allows him
05:19to troll the umpire in front of the crowd good thing is that the crowd loves him he's gonna
05:23fist pump his way out gonna walk down the outfield grass and uh say goodbye to the game and just kind
05:30of smile and laugh and try to figure it all out next time gotta have eyes back your head and
05:35meanwhile the umpire's like oh
05:37number six harper versus strickland after giving up two home runs to bryce harper in the 2014 playoffs
05:45hunter strickland's bad blood with the superstar came to a head in may 2017
05:50strickland evened the score by purposefully throwing at harper's leg and the result was
05:55one of the biggest brawls in modern baseball history so anyway here's the the helmet throw
06:00and he gets the footing all weak and loose and now they're actually going to square up and we got
06:04multi-cam look at this side by side john boy media just crushing it john boy covered the fight a few
06:11years later and not even the passage of time deprives it of its humorous insanity slowing
06:16things down and viewing punches from multiple angles o'brien's witticisms are perfectly timed as
06:22he further emasculates the two ego bruised men and now he's fighting his teammates they're fighting
06:26him they have such little respect for him they think they have to drag him off the field they're
06:31not even going to give him the chance to walk off like so now he's fighting back even more because
06:36he doesn't want to look like his teammates carried him off but they did carry him off and that's the
06:41end of this one interestingly much attention is paid to players not involved in the skirmish at all
06:46strickland's more seasoned teammates can be seen staying out of it highlighting just how ill-advised
06:52this conflict was bumgardner the angriest guy ever always up for a good yelling doesn't care at
07:00all look at this sprinting out to the fenn strickland bumgardner no interest at all number
07:07five springer's rigging accusation sometimes everyone is wrong and that may be the case with
07:14this close play between the red sox and blue jays with toronto fighting to keep their season alive
07:19george springer appears to hit a go-ahead double down the baseline but umpire scott barry rules it
07:24foul john boy slows things way down when analyzing things ultimately providing sufficient evidence that
07:30the ball was actually fair now this camera angle it's left of the line but it's pretty down the
07:35line and it shows the ball bounce it's got to go over the bag over the bag the only way to really
07:43know what this call is if you had a bird's eye view tensions escalate after springer strikes out
07:48and he subsequently accuses the league of rigging games for their division rival the yankees if they
07:54want new york to win just tell me and give it to them already it's rich coming from springer given
08:01his role in the houston astros sign stealing scandal but john boy a noted yankee fan does a terrific job
08:08of staying objective in his review of a contentious moment how do you miss that it's right in front of
08:14him and i agree with him there coughs it out feeling uncomfortable at third base a lot of eyes on him
08:20springer mad the yankees did win their game they did take a game back in the division number four
08:25hauser the hurler this is undoubtedly one of the stranger things you'll see on an mlb diamond but
08:31john boy turns it into one of his most dynamic breakdowns to date milwaukee brewers pitcher adrian
08:36hauser started a game against the texas rangers with a weak stomach and couldn't even finish the first
08:41inning before vomiting on the mound just cover him up no one wants to see him puking trainer's like are you
08:47okay he's like yeah i'm just puking that's all okay get the man some water o'brien of course spares
08:53no expense in laying into hauser and continues to make light of the disgusting event when the
08:58groundskeeper waters over the tainted grass they're gonna take that puke grow it into a puke tree
09:02that's gonna be really nice fertilize the puke everything's good he's like man sorry about that
09:09just i puke sometimes we're not sure what's more unbelievable the fact that this wasn't hauser's
09:15first in-game digestive incident or that he went on to pitch a dominant six innings it might be the
09:20latter as john boy's redemptive comments ultimately make hauser an unlikely breakdown hero and guess
09:26what he did the rest of the game he went six innings pitched one earned run 10 k's or something like
09:29that dude is amazing at pitching after he pukes number three tatis breaks an unwritten rule when a team
09:37has a substantial lead the expectation is that their opponent's feelings will be spared as much as
09:43possible so does the other team they're just not going to try to come back and win because they're
09:48down by so much so that's why no no they're going to do everything they come to say to come back and
09:53win you're just not allowed to add more runs because you know you don't want to piss the pitcher off he's
09:58got feelings think about him this respectful tactic was lost on fernando tatis jr during a game against
10:03the rangers with the san diego padres up by seven tatis hit a grand slam on a three and oh count in the
10:09eighth inning comes back to dugout hasmer loves him smiling having fun dapping him up interesting
10:15interesting there coming up later on and here's his manager jace tingler first year manager kind of
10:21giving him a look like i don't know i'm not going to celebrate with you about that those additional
10:27four runs inspired a mixed response and john boy does a miraculous job of covering all sides
10:33this breakdown is especially smart in analyzing the hypocrisy of the situation as the flack tatis got
10:39from his manager and teammates seemed unwarranted given his contributions after all if a player has
10:44power and is being paid to use it shouldn't they be allowed to use it the kid who has the most fun
10:50right now on the baseball field just hit a grand slam has two home runs leagues all of mlb leads all
10:58of mlb and he's having zero fun on the bench because he beat he broke some unwritten rule that nobody cares
11:06about number two scherzer's strip search mlb's 2021 crackdown on pitch doctoring took center stage
11:13in a chaotic spat between philly's manager joe girardi and washington nationals ace max scherzer
11:19o'brien cannot contain his laughter as he reviews this incident in which scherzer was checked a whopping
11:25three times for sticky stuff at girardi's insistence go ahead i want to touch my hair okay touch that's so
11:32creepy uh these umps have to just rub up sweaty thinning hair it's gross this is disgusting the third
11:43check is where things truly go haywire as scherzer removes his glove and hat and even makes a motion
11:48to start stripping his pants on the mound the amusing lip read perfectly summarizes how fed up the picture
11:53is and the image of umpires running their hands through scherzer's sweaty hair is both creepy and
11:58hysterical nothing but sweat i got sweat that's all i got up here happy about it there you go i don't
12:06know i don't know what's happening out there a little paranoia goes a long way especially in the
12:12world of youtube commentating oh yeah yeah yeah hold me back oh hold me back oh boy hold me back and
12:19scherzer's like i got it all come look oh hold me back ridiculous and that's what happened tonight
12:24in the nationals game number one savages in the box if anyone loves getting under an umpire skin
12:30it's yankees manager aaron boone and this 2019 rant is one of his finest moments
12:35hicksie's smiling there trying to hold it in
12:42really bad start
12:45after one too many blown calls boone saves batter brett gardner from being ejected by throwing himself in
12:52the crosshairs surprisingly john boy doesn't have to do much analysis for this one as the yankees
12:58broadcast picked up everything boone had to say how awesome was that he's complimented his players said
13:03they were savages he complimented the other pitcher said he's a good pitcher he told the ump he felt
13:07bad for him empathy and he wanted him to get better it's an oddly well-rounded tirade as the skipper
13:12encourages the ump to do better and props up his team with some choice words sure the last thing a
13:18decorated team like the yankees need is an ego boost but boone's theatrical conviction and the
13:23umpire's humbled reaction make this a takedown worth covering in all of its glory now i know i'm biased
13:28but i thought that was one of the better rants from a manager getting ejected we've had so far
13:32what's your favorite breakdown from john boy media step up to the plate and let us know in the comments
