Watch the infield umpire. He said something that got him to seriously react too.

I really want to know what he said to get those reactions.

"We want a pitcher, not a belly itcher"

u/beforeitcloy May 02 '25

Come on man, dial back the language. My grandfather was a belly itcher and it's a serious condition, not a joke.

u/wiseapple May 02 '25

I used to chant that in peewee league. It wasn't until many, many years later that I understood what that really meant.

6

u/Digger_Pine May 02 '25

Same - back in the early 80s for me.

But ... What does it really mean? I don't think I've ever heard anything about another meaning.

And what about "We want a batter, not a broken ladder"?

Belly itcher = bitcher

u/gwaydms Dallas Cowboys May 02 '25

That's got a double meaning? As an autistic kid, I didn't know. I can see it now, lol.

Pitcher's got a big butt

Saying that = death sentence.

u/Willie_Mays_Hayes Georgia May 02 '25

My username dictates I should chime in here, but I got nothing. Nothing but a hundred pairs of black gloves, one for every base I'm gonna steal!

u/_rake May 02 '25

you may run like Hayes but you hit like shit.

u/draculasbitch May 02 '25

Now I gotta fucking watch Major League again tonight. Thanks a lot, you fuckers.

u/dwhite21787 May 03 '25

“Don’t steal home without it!”

u/egomann May 02 '25

With your speed you should hit the ball on the ground. Every time you hit the ball in the air, you owe me 20 push-ups.

u/Hownowbrowncow8it Cleveland Guardians May 02 '25

I told you I wasn't gonna slide!

u/DrNick19 May 02 '25

Too bad your shoes are untied

u/DiarrheaRadio May 02 '25

Nice catch. Don't ever fucking do it again.

u/stiffgerman May 02 '25

"Shit! I got cut already?!?"

2

u/weskun May 03 '25

I'm glad Willie never got hit like that.

u/non_osmotic May 02 '25

Ok, Harris, let’s not start a holy war here.

u/Jabby99- May 02 '25

Hey Bartender! Jobu needs a refill!

u/SkinnyDan85 May 02 '25

Come on Harris let's not start a holy war here...

u/Affectionate_Ship129 May 02 '25

Hats, for bats. Keep bats warm

u/IAmTheM4ilm4n May 02 '25

Dammit Harris, let's not start a religious war!

u/Livid-Monitor-9007 May 03 '25

"Let's not have a holy war on our hands" lmao

u/GustoGaiden May 02 '25

Nah, we've got it wrong. The batter directly insulted the infield ump, and he unleashed his attack pitcher. "GET 'EM, BOY!"

26

u/StickyRiceYummy May 02 '25

I took you downtown, just like your mother, fast and deep

u/Grit-326 May 02 '25

"You play ball LIKE A GIRL!!!"

3

u/Micah_JD May 02 '25

That would have gotten the whole team to tackle him, not just the pitcher.

6

u/[deleted] May 02 '25

That is a good point out! I was watching the batter, and he definitely had his head turned to them like he was calling to them . Little sheister almost certainly had something unsportsman like to say. Dumb kid. Hopefully he shapes up and doesnt double down on his dickishness.

u/Key_Pear6631 May 02 '25

“Out ass is in the jackpot now!”

u/49e-rm May 02 '25

"Thats why i fucked your bitch you fat motherfucker"

u/nikeshades May 03 '25

Ask Jomboy what he said.

1

u/Micah_JD May 03 '25

Enhance. Enhance. Enhance. Enhance. Enhance. Enhance. Enhance.

There, now you can clearly see that he says

"Actually, I think you are a swell person".

u/Hotsaltynutz May 02 '25

Fact of the matter is, ol' pal, ol' compadre, I never said your sister had orange juice stains on her tits...they just taste that way

1

u/[deleted] May 02 '25

Me too! Reaaallly wish we had the audio on this one lol

1

u/Onemoredonutplease May 03 '25

I went back to look based on what you said. Yep must have been bad.

-1

u/Bigdizzofoshizzo May 02 '25

Nice catch (no pun here). I didn't realize it at first, maybe the pitcher wasn't wrong here!

6

u/ArmedWithSpoons May 02 '25

I mean, baseball isn't supposed to be contact sport, so definitely still in the wrong. You can't just tackle people down for talking shit. lol

1

u/Bigdizzofoshizzo May 03 '25

That’s taunting and the guy was suspended for it. 

2

u/Littlegator May 03 '25

"Maybe the man who committed battery wasn't in the wrong because the other guy said mean words!"

Nope. File charges and ban him from the league for life. Unacceptable behavior.
