Framber Valdez clears the benches against the Red Sox, a breakdown

Frambois Valdez got suspended for six games for intentionally throwing a pitch at Trevor Story and then the dugouts emptied and everyone was on the field and they were mad about it But I'm gonna show you what Frambois was really mad about and why he hit Trevor Story with the ball This breakdown is brought to you by SeatGeek and we're gonna start in the first inning. There's two outs There's a strike He's dialed and that ball gets through the infield and now the Red Sox have a runner on and I'm guessing in their scouting Session they said get to second if you can get to second because Frambois He shows you his hands You can see what pitch he's about to throw because if you're on second base, you can just see his grip So we got a runner on second and he is just looking in and he's staring Right at the hand in the glove and the batter is looking at the runner on second and he's touching his head Which is a signal to the batter that hey, this is gonna be not a fastball. It was an o2 curveball He did not bite and now the runner on second goes back to the bag and he's standing on the base one foot and he's making eye contact with the batter and Hosmer former big leaguer He actually tweeted this out and broke it down and I was so Interested and excited to hear him say this because I've been wondering it forever Take a listen so get to second and if you can see it get on the bag one foot make eye contact with the hitter if you can't See it. Usually it's either two feet on the base or you stand on the right field side of second So either one foot or left field side. That's a little nugget of information on this that I've always been searching for What's the indicator? How does the batter know? That the runner is doing everything he's doing intentionally and that makes a ton of sense you have an indicator that says hey, I've got knowledge pay attention to me or You stand on the other side of the base and you say not now every team might do this in a different way But Hosmer saying that this is what he thinks the Red Sox were doing here, which is fascinating So now you've got Trevor story and you can see his eyes just wandering towards the pitcher Towards the runner towards the pitcher towards the runner towards the runner Towards the pitcher and then back to the runner taps his head. So it's gonna be another breaking ball or not a fastball That's the point of view from the batter side. We can see the head tap right there It's easily right in his line of vision and then you pick it up and you say that's in the dirt, too I'm not biting now. You've got a full count. So whatever he throws he's probably gonna try and throw it in the zone So you got to step back in the box. You got to make sure you're looking over there and you say oh It's gonna be another curveball. Okay, great news for me 3-2 curveball. Can he do damage with it? There's a runner on second. He sits on it and hits it to third easy out except botched Absolutely botched. So all of this could have been avoided if the defense behind Frambo just got some outs instead it was a ground ball that looked like this and No outs So we go to the next pitch below the zone and then the next pitch and Trevor stories like I'm getting a second pace Dude, if we can tell our guys what's coming? That's a huge advantage So I'm gonna steal and now I'm over here on second and I look left and I look left and that's another Indicator that they're using that Hosmer mentioned in his video as well. Just a quick head tilt left It's a little less obvious than doing the head thing the whole time and maybe it's not a curveball Maybe it's just not a fastball needs to change up and maybe it gets smacked for a three-run home run He was strikes away. He was a ground ball away. He was an out away from getting out of the first inning instead Trevor's story signals to the batter the pitch they hit a three-run home run ruin the outing for Frambo And there's the changeup grip right there. You can see the fingers are spread. The thumb is tucked It's a changeup and it is sat on and it is hammered and celebrated Accordingly in the dugout framers like that. Damn it. I was out of this inning field the ground ball Well, let's move on to the third inning where once again Trevor's story finds himself on second base His hand finds its way onto its helmet and he looks left So every indication that this is not going to be a fastball and here's the view from their hand on the head and then looks Towards second base batter can see that easily knows. It's not a fastball Absolutely smokes the changeup again through the middle Trevor story's gonna score and frambers day is getting Awful, and he can't understand what's happening. He's thinking he's wondering he's pondering he's thinking he's sweating and now another runner on second base and the same Standing on the base the same way and another head turn Okay, not a fastball a curveball taken for a strike though And now the runner on seconds like come on dude, I told you there it is. Let's go. I'm telling you these aren't fastballs Take a hack for amber look in dealing another change up big swing swung So hard at the changeup he fell down Rafael at second base like all right, come on, dude. It's on let's go He's just being casual about it. Are you looking at me? No, okay, then I'll step off. Okay, you look at me Hey, look at me. Please. Look at me. Please. Look at me. Look at me. Please. Look at me. Please. Look at me Oh my god, you're not gonna look at me. I got to step off. Let's be casual about it Are you gonna look at me? We need to make eye contact here dude trying to tell secrets trying to tell okay Here we go and looking looking looking looking looking looking great. Good news. Now. Keep looking at me now. Keep looking Yes, it's gonna be not a fastball. All right, it's not a fastball again. Good job we're on the same page the o2 pitch a curveball and Hit through the infield and another run is going to come and score and frambers days Ah and managers like what is going on? Oh my god The next batters is making it as obvious as obvious gets another changeup another swing Okay Looks like another changeups coming and there's another changeup and that is smashed into the gap Are they gonna catch it? No, it just drops in So it's kind of like the defense and the fact that they know what's coming is really hurting framber I think he's mad at his defense right now and he's shaking his head like come on guys Get an out. What are you guys doing out there? And they're just like, uh, How much did this affect things? Well when there was a runner on second base the Red Sox didn't swing and miss at a single pitch They had a width percentage of zero when there was not a runner on second base They swung and missed at a quarter of their pitches I'm guessing that as we got into the fourth inning framber was told about this in the dugout He was shown some footage and they said framber you got to clean up They know what you're doing and he got mad about it and his game was stinky And he's probably like take me out and that's what the Red Sox announcer said who they have their biases as well But this is what they said about framber in between innings before coming out for the fourth in between innings He was super late to get out there. He didn't even want to go back out Yeah, so he's probably thinking screw this. I don't want to go out there and give up more runs ready giving up eight It's no fun defense is failing me. They have my pitches take me out of the game coach This is brutal, but he's out there and on the first pitch of the fourth inning just a center cut fastball It's absolutely smoked and then a great grab by this kid. He was pounding his glove. He gets under. Oh, yeah Now he pounds his chest gets the high-five. Hey Makes her day makes his day whole crowd section loves it that man's a hero Framber out here turning Tigers fans in the Red Sox fans Can't have that turning Contreras into a monster as he gets his high-fives in the dugout next batter Two pitches later curveball Homer don't need anyone on base to hit these pitches They're just nothing burger pitches from a pitcher who's clearly very Frustrated and mad and the next batter coming up is Trevor story that song bitch that's been given all my pitches away He gave up the three-run home run by sneaking and stealing my signs. So there's a party in the dugout They're having fun. And then framber says parties over folks I'm mad Framber hasn't thrown a four seam fastball all season because he throws a sinker which is not gonna be as fast not as straight a little more Movement to it and he says, you know What's a good time to bring out my four seam fastball for the first time all season when I drill Trevor's story in the back? Because he's a thief and he stole my signs and I'm mad at him and also they're hitting home runs And also my defense was failing me frambers got a lot going on this was his reaction to it and he just kind of like Taking breaths and faking it almost looks like it was therapeutic for him. And now he regrets it It almost looks like he's like man. I shouldn't have done that. That's giving him a little credit The catcher's reaction is just shame and disappointment. Oh, man, dude. I don't wanna be part of this Look at him walking with his head down And here's Trevor stories reaction right to the back little smile at first But then he's gonna say that's ******* bullshit, bro Yeah, that's ******* bullshit umpires trying to keep things cool. All right, stay back. I got it. We got it We got it. We got it, but Contreras is coming out and he's got one message the umpire throw him out You gotta throw him out. You gotta throw him out. Come on. He's like we got it We got to do the whole thing where we fake talk about it Red Sox bullpen beat the Tigers bullpen in a landslide and the Tigers manager Hinch He's just going up to Trevor story and like I'm sorry, man. Trevor's like hey, man It's not your fault. You're not your fault. And now the Tigers bullpen is like damn I guess we got to go out to and we should really hustle because we got to get we got to get framers back Because he's our teammate and he and we got it Okay, and then Hinch is talking to Contreras too, and it's just a lot like yeah. Okay. Yeah, you know, I understand Yeah, I understand completely our bad umpires get together. They're gonna decide on some things talk about some things Meanwhile, let's watch the replay from the grounds point of view And I told you the party stopped Well, the monster helmet was still on when he got hit and then he's first to start John He's got to throw the costume head so he can defend his teammates. The umpires were like, yeah. Yeah No, it was on purpose. So you're ejected and framers like no it wasn't I'm gonna never mind. He just says oh, yeah Okay, I didn't want to be out here. Anyway Everything was going against me. Thank you. That's what I wanted my manager to do take me out of this damn game So he's just gonna walk off. No reaction. No emotion. No nothing I mean if you are new to baseball, you don't know framers But who knows Who know he had him on purpose he got suspended for it and Hinch gets back to his seat and look at how Frustrated I told him I didn't want this guy I don't told him he was a head case and then in his postgame press conference Did he defend his player or did he do the complete opposite? I know when you go out of the field and you end up sort of in those Confrontations you usually feel like you're in your right because you're you're you're in and feel good being out there So I understand it was a low moment of a frustrating night. Oh a low moment of a frustrating night Dang Hey, thank you very much for tuning in if you were wondering why the videos have slowed down. I had Achilles Surgery and I've been laid up and just miserable. So I appreciate the patience. We'll be back I'm still kind of you know, this took me like four different days dad I can only I can only not be foot above my heart for so long each day. It's Thanks but we've all learned a lot about the sport of baseball now you have the knowledge of Tipping pitches and how they do it and we learned about the indicator. Thank you to Hosmer. Appreciate that So take all this knowledge and buy yourself a ticket at Siki and use John boy 10 for 10% off Get a good seat make sure you can see second base and Watch all of this and bring someone who doesn't know so you can share it with them and sound smart Make sure it's someone that would be interested in you're not just gonna be like blah blah blah blah blah blah blah in their ear Siki John boy 10
