Player yells at his teammate for not paying attention, a breakdown

Rocky's had a frustrating start to this game. It led to a play you don't see a lot. Throwing a ball to no one. We'll get there. First, Ben Rice is leading off. He's locked in, he's focused. The first pitch is a ball. The second pitch is a strike. This one's brought to you by SeatGeek, and then we've got strike two. Here's where it gets fun. He's like, I can't hear you. I can't hear anything you're saying. They're having communication issues on the pitch comm. Umpire doesn't care. He says there was three seconds left on the pitch clock. You can't use that as an excuse now. You're getting violated. Violation. That's gonna be a ball on that guy. Two and two is the count. Okay, bad start. First batter, and you're just granting them a ball. Deep breath. Let's gain focus. Let's get back into it. Oh, and Ben Rice says that hit me in the foot, so I go to first, right, Blue? And Blue's like, yes, you do. Yes, you do. You're honest and I trust you. Do you guys want a challenge? And they're like, well, we'll look at it. You guys gonna look at it? And they're looking at it, and the guy's, uh, and thumbs down. Not good. They must have found something in the replay. Let's see what we can find. Zoom in. We got Boone blowing a bubble. We got this couple. Just a nice kiss at the game together. First batter, and then, oh, let's zoom in. Let's enhance. Let's slow it down. Oh, ow. Here's the live audio. Ow, shoot. Hit him right in the foot, so bad start. Pitch clock violation. Hit by pitch. Runner on first. Belly's up. He's concentrated. That's a ball. The next pitch, ground to first. Little bounce pass to second, so they don't turn two, but you'll take an out. Now a big moment. Aaron Judge, his first at bat in 99 days. He missed three months, so the stadium is on their feet. The phones are out. They're clapping, and the social media handles are pinned onto the clothing. Aaron Judge focused. Eyes clear. First pitch, ooh, it was a ball, and then calls for the, he couldn't hear you. Do it again. Does it again. He's like, I can't hear anything. Turn it up. Oh, thanks, Goody. That's what's happening. I'll just turn the volume up. He's like, it's too loud. They're too excited about Judge. I can't hear ----. Umpire's like, okay, well, we'll get you a new pitch comm, I guess. He says, yeah, it'd be great. Now, the one-oh to Judge. Not working there, and then that's not a great pitch, but it's fouled back, and then another little slider, and then gets him with the four-seam. I like the four-seam at the end. Good pitch. Judge down-swinging. He's gonna spit out his gum and get a new piece, because that's the superstition he does. See, he spits it out, and he hits it, but now here's the big play. Luis Garcia, Jr., up at the plate. The first pitch is low. The second one, he's just gonna float into the outfield, soft enough to drop in. It's off the glove. It's off the foot of the outfielder, McCarthy. He grabs it and just throws it in to hold the runners. Let's, oh! Goodman turned off. The catcher went blank, and the Yankees score the first run. Now, look at that spin. Maybe this spin had the ball bouncing a little different than anticipated here. It goes off the heel of the glove, and then the shin, and then the toe, and he kicks it. That's not fun at all. Now, he's like, let's just get this in. Let's hold the runner. At third, I'm just gonna throw it in. Catcher will get it. Uh, Goody, Goody, Goody! Hey, what are you, what's going on? Goody, what are we doing, Goody? What are you doing? McCarthy can't believe it. He's gonna get the error on this play. He's doing his job just throwing it in to hold the runners. Hunter Goodman, the catcher, was not expecting the throw to come to him. McCarthy's like, what are you doing? I'll tell you what happened. Here's the overhead. We don't have a shot of Goodman's face, so you can't really see the eyes, but here's what happened. As soon as the bobble happens, you can see the catcher, Goodman, point to second. He says, plays at second. Let's hold the runner to first, I guess. That was never gonna happen, though, but once he points and says, plays to second, I think he thinks that message is gonna get relayed or just everyone's on the same page as him. This ball's gonna go in a second, so then he just stops paying attention to the play and following the ball at all, and then it goes past him. So he was like, plays at two, and then the play didn't go to two. The base running shots are very funny. Cody Mellinger gets to second, and then he sees the bobble. Okay, that's gonna get him to third, and then he slows down at third. Good third base coach by Rojas here. He's like, hey, watch the ball, watch the ball, watch the ball, watch the ball, go! And the third baseman, goody, goody, goody! And then belly is off. So, you know, good third base coaching by Rojas. Gotta watch the play, watch the play. Don't give up on it like they did. This base running is even more fun. We've got the shot on Luis Garcia Jr. Running to first, always reminds me of Austin Powers on Mini-Me's shoulders. Just small steps, big arms, and then he's like, okay, I'll get to second. Here we go, and then he's gonna say hi to his buddy. What's up, buddy, old pal? How are you doing? Good to see you, I hope you're doing well. And then he's gonna celebrate. Oh, ----, I gotta keep going! The play's not over! And he gets to third, slides in, and then he's gonna get up again and be like, maybe I go, no. Okay, so it goes from a single to a single, and then he's there and he's there, and McCarthy's like, all right, what do I play for the next guy? Does it matter? Does anything matter? What a bad start. It's a pretty normal play. The problem is, usually, if there's a play to home, the first baseman will cut in the middle and the pitcher will back up the catcher. But because this play was not to home, it was originally to third to stop the runners, the pitcher is going to back up the throw to third, and the first baseman is just kind of trailing the action. Once he bobbles it and they advance, now the throw's coming home, and really, the pitcher and the first baseman are at a position to be in the middle of the diamond or backing up the catcher because it's shifted on the fly like that. So you need your catcher to be paying attention, and he was not. So that ball just trickles past him very slowly, and it allows one run. And it's just a pretty frustrating inning. Hughes is able to get the next batter out. He strikes out Spencer Jones, so that runner on third gets stranded, and then all the school children have to walk to the dugout and report to the principal who is just, he's ready to give him a little ass-chewing. Rockies bench, guys. Don't mess around. No one got benched, though, I don't think. But if it was Carrick, maybe.
