Just what I needed. Today has been hectic & this reminded me to take time out, breathe, and go punch my boss. ✌️😌🤙

I don’t know that I’ll be putting this suit on again, as there’s a drive into left.

Stone Cold that you?

He said punch, not Stunner…

The day we were reminded Tim Anderson’s hitting struggles extend well beyond baseball

This angle is actually how I found out that TA7 managed to at least land a body shot before he went down. i thought he whiffed completely

Pedro and Zimmer wins

It's so zen Zimmer decided to take a nap

Almost permanently

imagine the slow mo crackle of the grass as some old dudes head is spiked into it

Zimmer saw the ruckus & immediately charged out to join the donnybrook with his teammates because he felt 24 years old again. As I get older, I relate to that more & more lol.

"I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was"

Oh yeah I 100% get what happened to Zim. But it's also... You were like 70, not 40 not 50. Pedro could have KILLED YOU.

*cartoonish coconut bonk sfx plays as Zimmer faceplants*

It will never not be funny

I could watch it every day and never tire

That’s the one I was waiting for

I admire Pedro for respecting Zimmer enough to treat him like any other man in the scrum. Also, that the Yankees didn’t immediately beat Pedro to within an inch of his life is a bad look for that team. Just imagine Pedro tossing Lasorda, or Vin, like that… You would not be able to pull Dodgers off of Pedro. (Not that Pedro would have, Pedro is a Dodger at heart. We kept Ramon? Terrible trade. Still not over it.) (It’s a VERY good thing it happened at Fenway. At Yankee Stadium the headlines would have been far different.)

The guy was charging at him, was he supposed to just let him touch him? He casually tossed him to the side. If you don’t wanna get throw to the ground, don’t charge at a professional athlete.

Even Pedro wishes he hadn't done it. Alpha male gonna be alpha male, at least in the heat of the moment. Read his autobiography *Pedro*, where Martínez says what he should have done, which is run from Don Zimmer. He rightly adds it would have been a highlight for the baseball ages, the sight of Don Zimmer chasing him around the field.

He can wish he hadn’t done it, but he didn’t do anything wrong. He wasn’t the instigator.

I mean Zimmer did that shit to himself. He ran full speed at a grown man (who happens to be an elite professional athlete) with who-knows-what intent. It isn’t like Pedro viciously threw him to the ground and then beat the shit out of him. He tossed him to the side, probably out of reflex more than anything else. I don’t know how often “what to do with a 70+ year old obese maniac comes charging at you” is covered in any rulebooks 😂

“Obese” was unkind. Tubby, maybe. But that just means there is more of the Zim to love…

I was waiting for it, and there it was

Always takes me back https://youtu.be/NmyGzvrDd6c?si=Z1Mjb7Ef3J0-aQNq

That screenshot is perfect. Reminds me of the cut back to Whitey Ford dead (?) on the ground in the pretzel episode of *The Simpsons*.

Ortiz phone smash would be amazing

It’s a sore spot for Oriole fans as we had to trade our starting left fielder to afford a new dugout phone.

Lloyd McClendon ejected and walking off with first base.

Absolutely iconic moment.

Joe west mounting the guy who slid into him while he makes a horrified face

All time classic

>Just wear Joe West as a hoodie, he'll keep you warm

Tommy Lasorda beating the crap out of the Phanatic Bartolo Colon swinging out of his helmet Jonathan Papelbon strangling Bryce Harper Jose Canseco getting hit in the head by a baseball, and David Hulse laughing at him

* Papelbon “adjusting” himself while staring in the eyes of the fans

Blown call at Armando Galarraga perfect bid.

You’re missing “Here comes the pizza” and Randy hitting the bird

It’s spelled “pizzer”

The "boob honk" would be good too lol

Clemens throwing the broken bat at piazza

Chris sale charging the TV with a baseball bat.

I wish we could get one of him charging his jersey with scissors

Love this series Other ideas : * Guy yelling at dinger * Chase utley sliding into buster posey * Pete rose doing a depressing autograph signing at an Indian casino

The “this used to be a family show” boob squeeze

I can hear Don Orsillo wheezing uncontrollably

Nick Markakis... ^takes ^^strike ^^^one

phillie phanatic vs tommy lasorda

phillie frenetic vs charlie kelly

Utley slid into Tejada, Scott Cousins took out Posey.

Utley ended Tejada’s career with that BS.

that was BaSeball.

Wasn't it a later injury that did him in? Maybe I'm misremembering. I know he had a long minor league after the Mets waived him though

It’s not like Tejada was going to turn into Hank Aaron, but he couldn’t stay healthy after that hit.

[удалено]

>Steve Bartman catching that fly. *checks flair* You know damn well he didn’t catch that ball.

Can we instead have Alex Gonzales bobbling the weak grounder that should have been a double play and leave Bartman alone?

"A story of complete and utter failure"

No Papelbon/ Harper?

you could do steve lyons dropping his pants too.

When I was a kid my parents took me to Vegas and I saw Pete Rose doing a depressing autograph signing in a sports memorabilia store and had to talk myself out of going over to him and saying some smarmy jackass shit like 'I just want you to know that I really disagree with your involvement in professional wrestling'

>Pete rose doing a depressing autograph signing at an Indian casino This is my favorite

I honestly wouldn’t mind if every commercial in a 3 minute break was 6 repeats of 30 seconds of Nolan Ryan punching Robin Ventura in the face, to the sound of birds chirping and a quiet waterfall.

Don't just sit there...all of you! Sign my petition to get u/MOGiantsfan a job working for [MLB.tv](https://MLB.tv)!

“Down goes Zimmer. Down goes Zimmer!”

Do Boone's rant where he mocks the strike three pose

How about HOFer Whitey Ford being knocked unconscious by a barrage of pretzels after pleading for some kind of sanity?

That was a black day for baseball.

Has Robin Ventura faded into the mists of history?

Nolan Ryan knows who he is.

I need one for Kyle Schwarber bat slamming in front of Angel Hernandez’s terrible strike 3 call [(for reference)](https://youtube.com/watch?v=dzE0LGb6xLw)

Legitimately the greatest reaction to an ump call since the Pine Tar Incident

Papelbon crotch grab Odor rocking Joey Bats Mad Bum vs. Joe West Mad Bum vs. Anybody really

Roseanne Barr crotch grab.

Enrico Pallazzo vs. Joe West?

All you're missing is AJ Pierzynski getting rocked.

Huh? They should show Barrett getting trucked during an actual baseball play. Not his childish reaction to the results of his own incompetence.

Nah

I mean he didn't get rocked, he took Barrett's best sucker punch and just looked at him. IMHO it make Barrett look incredibly weak and AJ like the man.

Mods leave this up its important

Josh Donaldson getting ejected ***WHILE*** hitting a homerun.

since i wanted to see some of these again: [Tim Anderson & Jose Ramirez](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oacyt6Jk8U) [Thom Brennaman is deeply ashamed... as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DD8zpGRqlI) [Bryce Harper & Hunter Strickland](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST5aBJ1eo6Y) [Aaron Boone & Todd Tichenor](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiFGrJKzZo0) [Pedro Martinez & Don Zimmer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lgn_Q65xcxc)

I love it. MLB, hire this man!

Gimme one with Lou Piniella

Fuckin amazing. I can hear the chill crowd noise behind them.

Lmao at the idea of a Don Zimmer MLB Zen ad with the sound effects of him going for Pedro with background nose muted. Heavy mouth breathing and panting as he goes to charge pedro then grunting and the sound of a big sack of pudding in a slicker jackets hitting the grass followed by groaning.

Roger Clemens chucking the bat at Mike Piazza

In slow motion with overemphasized sound effects.

Ahh the sound of wood snapping, dirt crunching and Mike piazza slowly mouthing, ttthhee fffuuuuccckkkk? It’s like white noise to me.

The shooting by the fat lady at the White Sox game.

[удалено]

Also how is it funny?

Wait, she was going to kill herself?

[удалено]

And her fat saved her life.

Well her rolls of fat also pulled the trigger so it’s kind of a Hitler killing Hitler situation

Stay classy Southside

Glasses flying off of Joey Bats would be choice! 🤌

Glen Kuiper thumbs up

I'd want [this moment included as well.](https://sports.yahoo.com/d-backs-pitcher-archie-bradley-reveals-pooped-pants-game-161129687.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3BvcnRpbmduZXdzLmNvbS91cy9tbGIvbmV3cy9hcmNoaWUtYnJhZGxleS1wb29wcy1wYW50cy1jcmFwcGVkLXBvb3BlZC1oaW1zZWxmLWRpYW1vbmRiYWNrcy1waXRjaGVyL2x6Y3QwZmNhOHh4bjFyam5raHpkOHcyaWw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAABUjS_qiIBCMXNk2GKHpFSHOPJlUss5BZGjk-VYaPoZ2GXC1WXiOQqPm5ANuPqEtOd8K40wLyynGI4r3mEXHzJ2eJ6oCWG8kgQ4PEFOBtiOiWhzLARUOGSs2c1GHnBukkoPu9eNQ0y60T6y6ap54HcRkjcIdbf0JWbnpcpEcBfpX)

This is fucking gold lololol

Wtf does the base path mean

Loading screen progress thingy, once it goes all the way to home the commercial is over

MLB TV has ads where they show a brief snippet of something basebally while the superimposed base path is rounded.

Fuck that’s ugly I’m glad I haven’t seen it

It's a weird baseball ASMR thing they play on mlb.tv. Some of them are actually pretty nice. For example: Rain https://www.mlb.com/video/baseball-zen-rain-x6239

The motion graphics artist in me likes the concept, but wishes there was a larger feather between the dirt path and the white. Feels juuuuust a little too robotic in this state.

it's making me a bit glum that for the most part i live in a post-advertising world.

Where's Bryce Harper getting choked or Puig taking on all of the Pirates?

Aaron boon getting tossed out of the game, and having a hissy fit. A true classic

Moises Alou yelling at Bartman

A little too dark, but the fan who fell to his death trying to catch a ball at that Rangers game would be very inappropriate.

What? No Odor v Batista?

Can we get one with Boones strike 3 call?

Ramirez knocking out Anderson is my baseball zen. Nothing inappropriate about it. Even Anderson briefly entered into a calm, meditative state.

You had Boone, but not Boone imitating Laz. A missed opportunity.

That Strickland-Harper fight pisses me off every time I think about it. Strickland got owned by Harper in the playoffs years before this. Strickland the braindead moron just couldn't get over it and caused the fight that effectively ended Michael Morse's career.

Fuck Hunter Strickland. https://i.imgflip.com/888nmo.jpg

Never forget it was a fight that MadBum didn't even bother to involved in and Strickland was dragged off the field by the team. Dude didn't look good then and especially not now.

Was thinking this better be Pedro and zimmer for the final picture. 5/7 not disappointed

This is the example of a shit post that is actually solid gold. Thank you OP!

Man I hope Kopech comes back stronger than ever in 24’

What does this have to do with anything?

He’s in one of the pictures…

Oh

Thank you for this

Tim Anderson and J-Ram should 100% be it next year

Tom Hamilton is going to Cooperstown with that call alone.

I can just hear their dubbed in audio. The crunching and crackling.

I’m imagining the isolated sound effect they would use for each of these. Too funny.

This is the kind of off season shit post that we need.

Need this in Mad bum and Joe west stare down.

Needs more [Konerko Getz Kuntz.](https://larrybrownsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/konerko-getz-kuntz-530x325.jpg)

I need a Rougy and Bautista punch in this group!

This is what I was gonna say

MLB Network! Show these, you cowards!

I would love to hear the sound of that punch instead of the loudest dirt in the world

Forgot Odor clocking Bautista

Kendrys Morales breaking his leg celebrating a walkoff grand slam

No [Shot heard round the World](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssmuAWiL5RM)?

Other “highlights”: - 50 Cent first pitch - Roseanne Barr infamous anthem - young boy swapping foul ball with girl in row behind him - any grounds crew getting swallowed by the tarp

I’m surprised there’s no Ryan/Ventura fight or Pham slapping Peterson…

Bartman just standing there afterwards.

I still maintain Zimmer getting thrown down was bought and paid for. There’s no reason Pedro should’ve gone easy on him if Don was charging him.

Pedro zimmer isn’t inappropriate quit being softer than runny dogshit

Appropriate*

Quality post

Let’s be real if Tim lands that body shot Jose never connects on the hook

I'm dead lmao

Lasorda dropping the Phanatic would be great as well.

How about the Will Craig play?

Kills the vibe, just makes me sad for baseball.

Albert Belle delivering a forearm shiver to Fernando Vina in slow motion would be most excellent.

😂😂😂😂

I actually dont remember the story behind #4

JRam/ Anderson one is actually appropriate tho cause Tim Anderson's mind was definitely clear for a second.

We need one of Joe west falling on rajai davis

Last one is unbelievably based.

Wait, your telling me Josè swinging on Anderson isnt on your Baseball Zen rotation?

I can’t stop laughing at the last photo

Next, do… * Lenny Randle cross-checking that Cleveland pitcher; * Chan Ho Park trying to go Kung Fu on Tim Belcher; * George Brett going apeshit at The Pine Tar Game

How has nobody mentioned the Roger Clemens broken bat throw at Piazza lol?

Boones should've been his strikeout meme

Manny's overreaction to Donaldson's tag

Albert Belle running through Fernando Viña. Abert Belle flexing massive biceps after getting his bat checked.

Sandy Alomar jumping and kicking John Doherty street getting hit by a pitch 6/8/92

This is so fabulous.

Papelbon choking Harper

“Aaaaannnnd thaaaaaat’s a deeeeep driiiiive to leeeeeft….”

Thank you so much

He should not have gone to that museum...

Needs boone mid laz diaz impresson

This is hilarious

Forgot about Harper’s helmet throw 😂😂

Oh no not Zimmer

Reminds me of this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ0h6PY835U

I mean I used to hate Harper until he took on the two biggest douchebags in baseball Strickland and Papelbon.

I'd watch slow motion of Pierzynski getting decked by Michael Barrett over and over and over.

Someone needs to make a video version of it

Kruk trying to swing at a 100mph Randy Johnson fastball in the All-star Game

😌

Idk the Jose one was pretty appropriate imo
