Can't breathe. Laughing. Too. Hard.

I did that once! Wild pitch, got the ball and fired a cannon to 3rd to try to 'stop the steal'> batter looking the other way and Head Shot!
BmoreDaviano
Oh snap I just realized he was throwing to first and not the ptcher, that ball had some heat!
pr3viso
We're going to get you out of the batting box one way or another

My reaction be like
RalphH
TKO!
Mebae
I can't stop laughing at this, that sound effect is great. Why did the catchers helmet come off? Ricochet?
soylentbeef
Na. The momentum from trying to throw the ball this fast will sometimes knock your mask off. Also, I have done this in a game before!

Meant to throw to first.

Had a runner on first who probably started to run or moved to far away from 1st base. Catcher throwing to first baseman.
MaadMaanMaatt
Where is the umpire?
DetectiveFrankDrebin
If there is only 1 umpire, sometimes they'll stand behind the pitcher
KyleDelaney
Are there umpires in kids' games?
armagetz
Catcher already took care of him.
Aeav8r
That made me literally LOL and I think it irritated the person in the next room over
bratys
Most likely interquad game. Coach probably umpiring from behind the mound
TF2215
Can't see a catcher intentionally beaming his teammate in an intersquad game
That wasnt intentional. He was back picking the runner at first. Very poorly
mgintx
Yeah but you can probably see they have the same uniforms
rocmat219
I was so confused, I thought the catcher was punching the batter in the face and I wondered why. Thought maybe the batter hit the catcher1/2
and it was payback. Took me a good minute to realize he was throwing the ball and it the batter
HelpfulCorn
Thank you for this explanation!
Hiboredimdad
Yeah but did he throw the ball at him for a reason or by mistake. It looks super deliberate.
rollerskateorgies
I'm pretty sure he's throwing to first and just totally miffed it. If he wanted to hurt the batter here, throwing a ball at their helmet is
not a great way to do it. And the other guy has a bat.

He gets 2 freethrows from the penalty box for roughing the passer.

Yeah at least a flagrant 2.

Let's have the VAR take a look at it

This might actually be a legal move. Depends on whether or not this game of Calvinball started before or after 11:45 AM.

That's basketball. This is tennis. He just scored a par.
kevinallover
The sliothar knocked over the wicket. That's numberwang.
ZenToaster
I'm a little lost. Can you check the goalie or not?
uplookdont
No, but he gets to move 3 spaces and roll again... Look at that he just passed Go and collects $200
OptimusChristt
No no no, the goalie is always optional to attack but it requires a will saving throw of 15 or higher.
LeJoop
No, you are totally off. He commuted a foul, as he is only allowed to move diagonally
AmmoniumAcetate
You’ve got to get the hell out of the box when there’s action on the bases. Interference on the batter.
Hornedequine
Not moving is fine. He made no intentions to block and stood still. Catchers fault. How do you even do that. Fucking kids
Rip42
He stood up farther. That counts as "any movement." Batter should be ruled out.
vcgetdown
Did you ever play baseball? The pitch just happened, that'd be insane to have to run and hide every pitch lol
jarod05gt
100% wrong...the box is the batter's. Catcher has to adjust.
You're wrong, and I linked the rule up the comment chain.
BendOverAndIllShowYa
No he’s ok holding his position.
MarsIsAfire
I'm sure he agrees.
"Any movement" includes standing up. Batter should be ruled out.
Negative. The batter is ok in that position.
Read the guidance on the rule I posted up thread. I've seen this exact thing happen in MLB. Called out.
It's a shame you're getting downvoted. The rule: https://www.umpirebible.com/index.php/rules-batting/batter-s-interference
That’s not batter interference in any way. He’s standing in the batters box. Why would he be out?
Because the rule says "any movement" the batter makes, even in the batters box, makes it interference.
Read the guidance.
I did read it. And I still don’t see it. What provision exactly are you referring to?
you can't get much broader than "any other movement." Batter beware." From the guidance. Just standing up from your stance counts.
"The batter is out if he..." "...or making any other movement that hinders the catcher's play at home base. As directives go, 1/2

That was definitely one of the weirder moments in baseball. And pitcher once threw a no hitter on acid... Or something.
EroticZombiePants
Back in that era, pretty much entire teams were on drugs. Players would coke up before game, then do amphetamines and party afterward.
TIREDGANG
I feel like I'd want the amphetamines for the game, and the coke for the after party, but maybe that's just me
I'm sure many did both at once all of the time.

The bird didn't explode. Nobody can throw that fast.
HamSlamwich
The fucking bird exploded man.
There was a large “explosion” of feathers... exaggeration/hyperbole/semantics maybe but it’s definitely the word do what I saw.
I think he wanted a fireball or something. But that's just not how birds work.
