I’ve just watched this video for the first time, and my one conclusion is this: If Jon Bois wasn’t at SB Nation/Secret Base, he would be a hell of a stand up comedian. I’m dead serious. Jon tells this story in a mature, adult manner. But the fact that he perfectly mixes in jokes while maintaining his stoic, deadpan, matter-of-fact demeanor actually makes this story pretty darn funny. Very clever, Jon. Well done. 👍👍

Totally deadpan punchline. Might've taken several takes to do it with a perfectly straight face; that's either dedication or insane skill depending on how long it took to get it right. There are several reasons this channel is the only way I currently engage with sports at all but it all boils down to the quality of talent and effort behind it.

@dbeast03

7 ай бұрын

As a college student, Jon is one of my biggest inspirations when presenting for this reason exactly. If you can add just a small bit of dry, matter of fact type humor or sarcasm, your important points expressed with the same matter of fact mentality tend to land just a bit better. Something about playing everything straight rather than contrasting humor with important points lets the audience fill in the blanks for you and create their own views on emphasis. Also, of course the massive amount of research, writing, editing, and experience on the channel helps too. If not for that effort, the style of presenting Jon usually does might come off lazy or uninspired, but because you *know* he knows his stuff and cares about what he's talking about, it just sorta clicks together.

I think the attendance numbers were inflated, but not as much as you think. The problem is the section you used to extrapolate is in what most baseball parks consider the "cheap seats". Cheap seats never sell out in a weekday game. Pretty much the only seats that sell out on the regular are the seats behind home plate and along the first base line. It's a trick used by the ball teams to make it look like there is a lot of people there for the cameras. I can't tell you how many times I have purchased cheap seats and got moved to premium seating because the crowd was a little thin. I would guess there were probably about 8,000 people there.

yeah, that part of it is *totally* up for debate. i'll lay out my defense here, y'all can decide what it's worth: some folks have noted that the screenshot shows more than 10 people, so i wanna stress that i'm strictly talking about section 139, that near-rectangular little section. if someone said there were 8 people sitting there or 20, i'd believe it. i just happened to eyeball it at 10. that's admittedly a fairly small sample, as it only represents like 2% of stadium capacity. but i don't think it's such a bad representation, because as far as how likely a section is to be populated, i figured it was about in the middle -- the sections behind home plate and near the infield would certainly be a little more populated, but the sections in the upper decks would be way emptier. even accounting for the fact that some of those sections were cordoned off for baseball purposes. at any rate, really appreciate the alternate theories! this is fun. might be 200 paying customers there, might be 2,000.

Which I guess means over 13,000 people paid money to...not watch the Marlins play baseball that day? The Marlins might be a money-laundering scheme. Anyway, I'm a little more sold on your video based on this evidence. If a similar crowd of only a couple thousand showed up and 3/4's of them decided "hey we live in Florida, anywhere we could go is better than watching disinterested backups play catch", yeah, this could've actually happened.

Hold on, let's give this unintentional/intentional walk theory some thought. What if they walked him to set up a triple play? What happened with the next batter?

Awesome video, great breakdown of the whole situation. However, the crowd density estimation could use some further thinking. 10 people? Count more. It’s the 9th inning for a team that isn’t the most popular, I think it’s reasonable to think a significant portion of the fans left early. Also, the sample size for crowd estimation was taken in the bleachers (not the most popular place to sit) and there’s a real possibility that they just switched to better seats and the ushers don’t care. I think you may have been able to double, even triple your crowd sample size and it would still be accurate.

Your estimate for the attendance was poorly considered. This year, the marlins had an all time low of 1,590 people, so 552 is certainly wrong. That year, the marlins averaged in the 15K range of the attendants per game. You estimated using the worst part of the ballpark in the 9th inning when the game was basically over. Also, paying persons in that section likely moved to a new section with a better view due to the emptying of seats.

Seems more like a Pretty Good than a Chart Party but ok

You could say it was ... Pretty Bad

The music choices for these videos are always amazing. 10/10. I bet somebody's a real (digital) crate digger.

Jons back!

this is one of the funnest videos I have ever seen

This video broke my family shun... I had to share it was so good.

A tear came out of my eye

how about the plate appearance where the batter was hit by a pitch and died? i think that sadder.

No pitch clocks - or batting helmets - in 1920. I recall seeing them clock a Bob Feller pitch with a motorcycle. kzread.info/dash/bejne/f66c2budl5C9YbA.html

Ray Chapman of the Indians was hit in the head by a pitch in 1920 and died the next day, probably the only player to die in a major league game. Back then it was common to use only one ball the entire game - fouls and home runs were tossed back on the playing field - and as the ball got dirtied up, it was harder to see in the late afternoon sun. Ray literally never saw what hit him.

I agree...

Jon bois makes the best videos on KZread

This video just won gold

This is the video that made me love SB nation.

It has been said before but the A's actually moved him to the Outfield for 3 games as a minor leaguer. He batted .462 with a 1.269 OPS

.462 is a little misleading given the small sample size, but 6 for 13 still ain't a bad stretch.

@@hiimemily Right the point was more "this guy can at the very least hit a baseball at the minor league level", less so any actual argument that he's a good hitter or that he could sustain those stats at all. Of course those 3 games were like 10 years before this clip... that's a lot of time away from the bat potentially.

I've got a fever. And the only prescription is more Chart Party!

He was so good at failing that he failed to fail….sir, never change.

This isn't the only strange batting event of Santiago Casilla's career. He got to hit again on May 21, 2014, and worked the count full. He obviously wasn't supposed to swing again, but on the 3-2 pitch, he swung, and actually put it in play. It was a ground ball to shortstop, and Casilla sprinted down the line (also not supposed to do). He tripped over first base and was out for a month.

I love you dad

"it's my video, I do what I want to". Yes sir you can. **Subscribed**

I love you man. You are absolutely hilarious.

I LOVE THESE VIDS, how did i never come across them before.

People keep saying his estimation is way off because way more people sit around the baslines and behind home plate but in his extrapolation he probably included all of the sections that never got any fans ever. There are literally upper decks and third decks that are tarped off. If he just multiplied by number of sections it probably evens out in the end. Went to many games at the old park.

"He was so good at failing that he failed the fail" hahahahahaha im dead

Fantastic music selection here

LOVE your channel man. Grew up playing hockey but you make stats and sports fun. Even for baseball.

Feel really bad for him now

6:50 I though he had died but I looked it up and he is fine

Omg! That was awesome. Thank late for the great video! 👍🏼

I remember watching this game! Dude just watched 4 pitches from the edge of the batters box hahaha GREAT VIDEO!

I only sub to this channel because of Jon Bois, REMEMBER THAT SB NATION

I often fail to fail...

Awesome! That was very well done.

I'm completely in love with Jon. I'm straight as an arrow, yet it seems to be morphing into a mountain road with every video I watch. Thank you sir, and please don't be concerned 🙏🤣😐

Probably more fans along the baselines and near home plate than in the outfield bleachers.

Realistically there were 200-300 people were payed to be there(most not in crowd) and 2000-3000 in the crowd

The smooth saxophone really emphasized the sadness f this plate appearance.

I love the music on these things.

Yes please have more Jon Bois he's really the only reason anyones subbed

Technically still doesn't have an at bat
