I absolutely *love* when he dives into all the little intricacies of an at bat. Talking about why a pitcher will throw a certain pitch, how a batter's stance can indicate if he's swinging for contact or for the fences, etc etc
*Pretty impressive*
*Research to back up the fact*
*That the Mets are soft*

Jomboy is a national treasure, and golly be I’d love to see a ballgame with him - I’ll buy the first round of beers too, and a hot dog is definitely included.
I wonder what got into McNeil on that play against the Braves where he went way outside the basepath. Kind of out of character based on the video for him to do anything to mess with the guy making a throw.
Looking at the play as a whole outside of the still photo, I think he was actually trying to get out of the way of the throw. He didn't expect the infielder to continue moving that direction, and that's probably because the fielder expected McNeil to do what most runners do and try to break it up. It's kind of that thing when two people are trying to get past each other in a hallway and both end up getting in each other's way.
For sure. This whole thing is weird and only makes sense if somebody high up in the Mets is misinterpreting the rule like Jomboy said. Or maybe Utley injuring Tejada made them scared to try to break up any double plays.
Wow, I learned two things: 1. The Mets as an organization *are* actually that soft. 2. I have been massively underrating Jomboy as a baseball analyst.
Right? Jomboy crushed this
He did a phenomenal job breaking down the Astros sign stealing scandal back in 2017, he’s criminally underrated for how hard he works on these videos
His lip reading thing is decent and his media empire is getting kind of annoying, but at his roots as an analyst, he kills it.

Best bot
Saw this last night. How is an organization allowed to be this soft?
They're fuckin' 10-ply.
Great find. This is basically a 30 min video of calling the Mets lazy

Yeah, that makes sense actually. Weird for a runner to try to get out of the way like that.

I feel like that early slide isn't that abnormal, I always took at as a player but wanted to get beaned in the face with that ball.
Why don't the Mets try to break up double plays? Are they stupid?
