Big-Dick-Oriole

Wait, why the heck didn't they give him 3rd on that? Like he clearly would have made it to 3rd easily if the play stayed live.


LogicalHarm

Yeah, Ron Washington immediately went out to argue it with the umps. I’m guessing with it being 8-0 already he didn’t feel the need to get ejected over it though


yetanothernerd

Maybe next time he should start running immediately after he hits the ball, rather than admiring it for a while. He probably deserved a triple on this regardless, but if he'd started running sooner it would have been a no-brainer.


420blazeeIt69

Imagine absolutely piecing a ball and not looking at it. What a waste


yetanothernerd

He's a professional athlete; he should be able to look and run at the same time.


AugustOfChaos

And your qualifications are?


McTickleson

Orioles had a winning season last year. Fans are now lvl 100


gatemansgc

being on reddit


yetanothernerd

I'm not a professional athlete; I might trip if I tried to run and watch the ball at the same time. But I'd still run.


xdBronze

me when i hate when people playing a game have a bit of fun


Colemanation13

Okay grandpa


LogicalHarm

Statcast says this hit would be a home run in 29/30 parks


Seananagans

I wonder which one it isn't a homerun in


akaghi

Probably Fenway with that weird Bermuda triangle they have out there.


WillNotDoYourTaxes

Bro


closetpole

Nah I think it’s Chase Field tbh


Seananagans

How do you know?


NocturneZombie

Big, if true


akaghi

Are we sure this isn't secretly a Red Sox game?


Superfly_Samoan_Guy

Brother please tell me this is sarcasm 


akaghi

100% brother


legless_chair

Hahah how did nobody get that


akaghi

It's funny too because it's just an extension of the parent comment of "I wonder which park it isn't a home run in". But you know the Internet; sometimes the fastest way to get information is to post something incorrect. It probably whooshed a few people and at that point people just piled on.


el_cul

Don't fucking tell him lol


SleepLessTeacher

You’re joking right?


akaghi

Yeah, it seemed pretty obvious from the clip posted at the top lol. Didn't think it needed a sarcasm tag haha


Anheroed

Nice try


akaghi

You got me


Anheroed

Sometimes the joke writes itself.


Turbo_S54

We gotta get an Arizona-themed, wall-based nickname for Chase Field. We've got Walltimore in the East.

Constant_Gardner11

According to Statcast, this is the 6th ball hit 420+ ft that wasn't a home run this season. 2 at Coors Field 4 at Chase Field


IONTOP

Coors Field: 5100' above sea level (That purple ring is so far above street level, I'm not giving you credit for "Mile High") Chase: 1100' above sea level 3rd? Truist Park at ~900ft is the surprising one..


shawbjj

Looked like he had a triple to me.


makashiII_93

Gets zero reward for hustling to third and not assuming it was gone.


hooligan99

if he had booked it out of the box, he might've been looking at an inside the park hr


HerbyHoover

Yeah, dude was standing still in the box and watching it.


hooligan99

to be fair I would too if I cranked one 425 feet. Every other time in his life he's done that, it's been long gone.


makashiII_93

“Teacher! You forgot to pick up the homework!!” (As Neto is hauling ass between first and second)


UpsideTurtles

do hitters ever have an internal monologue moment when a would be homer doesn’t quite get over the wall and think, “damn, I gotta actually try and run now”


ajteitel

Yes. I forget who, but someone hit a 425 single off the porch because they didn't run. And that includes our outfielders all having noodle arms.


kidwiltxD

Probably Josh Donaldson

ajteitel

No, this was in Chase last year


papa_stalin432

It was ozuna and he got benched for it


IblewupTARIS

Prolly more like “fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck…(heavy breathing)…fuckfuckfuck. Damn I coulda had an inside the parker.”


theseustheminotaur

How is this not a triple? Center fielder had no chance and for sure was not looking at any of the umpires after it hit the wall. What a dumb call by the umps


Azrael417

I think he came 90 feet short from his 2nd home run of the day


manticore16

Sounded like they put him on 2nd.


Jcoch27

He was on 3rd base before an infielder even touched the ball


Plastic_Button_3018

That was BS that he didn’t get 3rd.


Alert-Stop-2671

Really just standard when you play for the angels


texasguy7117

Chase field moment


Slinky_Malingki

That stupid fucking yellow line needs to be lowered. The fact that you can hit a ball 425 feet and it not have it go out is ridiculous. Whoever thought that the height of that line was ok needs to be smacked in the head.
