Didn’t think anyone could compete with the OG but this is close

Fitzgerald Checksworth :

Infuckingcredible

Gio :

Went to a minor league game last weekend and in the top of the ninth the ump slow rolled the strike 3 call and I’ve never been more captivated by an umpire. Just let the whole ball park sit with anticipation waiting for his next move

clementine.exe :

thank you for taking the time to walk us through your process, really get a sense of the story beats here

BassGrabber22 :

You think umps get in a rhythm if there’s a guy in the bump who’s shoving? Like flow state for the blue

Coach DeVonté Ford :

I followed awhile ago for the impressions. I wasn’t familiar with your baseball game. You know ball

Krispy Ruffin :

The arrow gotta be pointed at the dugout of whichever team

Stephen Floyd :

This man knows what he’s talkin about

J f :

had no idea The Bear was umping games these days

Brush445 :

Love the homage to fernando rodney, gotta throw the mask to the side when you do it

Adkins.Casey :

My favorite ball call is just a simple, low “No.”

mikevecc23 :

Tom Hallion is the umpire that does the full twist on strike three. Sounds like he’s roaring on his strike three call, one of the best of all time 😤

dooooofy :

we are watching a master at work

Danbro :

Hate your ball call. You gotta be progressively more disappointed in each ball. As if both the pitcher and the batter have wasted your time.

pete :

You gotta check out “the ripper” strike 3 call, my personal favorite

foolietoolies :

Solely bc of the progression. You win

NSØ :

Hey fella, catcher here- thank you for not saying “ball” and instead just saying where it missed so I can learn your zone quickly. Big ups to you

Poppa :

Somebody get this guy behind the plate this World Series

shirakazazel :

Adam Friedland jeremy Allen white combo white guy

Jay :

ALSO YES NEVER SAY BALL!!! Gotta give them a “nah that’s low”

dilliebeanz :

was it a ball? yes or yes?

Thomas :

that strike two call was a 98 mph heater on the outside home crowd didn’t like it they thought it was away

These 10u kids don’t know what’s coming.
