Remember this. The original purpose of Yadi standing up so early wasn't to get Joc at 2nd, but to let the runner on 3rd base know that he is fully aware of what play is coming, so when the steal attempt happens, the runner on 3rd thinks twice about rushing to home plate on a throw to 2nd. The main goal is preventing runners from advancing, whether if it's by throwing runners out or by preventing them from attempting to steal.

FANTASTIC point! Not a force, so if the runner at third comes home on a double-steal, he could beat a rundown tag-out from second and score the run.

@bitchmodesquad

They were so stunned and frozen in their tracks when Yadi stood up that they thought maybe he was calling time. Instead, he called a pitch out and made the runner and the managers look stupid for calling that steal. Yadi nodded at Goldy because he knew exactly what was going on, and he probably already warned them about it on the mound visit, too. Goldy gestured with his own nod to go ahead and throw it. He didn't shrug confused, he tilted his head right as if to say, "Ok, go ahead, bring it this way!" Goldy was going to go with whatever Yadi wanted to do, because it's Yadi. There's not many guys in history who had the baseball IQ and awareness that Yadi had. He even proved it his rookie year in the 04 World Series when he caught Manny Ramirez trying to steal signs. Yadi backed down from nothing! He was a defensive genius, had a rocket arm on pick off throws, and could hit well, too. He even stole a few bases despite being the slowest guy in the league. He just knew when to catch them sleeping. One of the greatest ever behind the plate, no question!

Very cool. An obvious action that communicates 'I see what you're trying to do, don't do it because I'm ready'. This also is apparently done by some prey animals like the Pronghorn and the American Woodcock, they do a very strange and distinct movement when they see a predator nearby to forestall their attack, trying to tell them that it's not worth attacking because they're alerted to their presence and the attack will fail.

This was the pitcher's fault. Yadi doesn't know when he is going to come home. When he stands up, it means he is ready to receive the pitch. Given the situation, the pitcher has to come home immediately. It's a pitch out, so he doesn't need to concentrate on location or the runner. Throw the ball to Yadi right away, dummy.

Ive chosen to watch some baseball for the first time in my 27 yr life. I actually really enjoy it after learning so much from Jomboy and the context to make each aspect of pitching, hitting, and catching intriguing. Plus the surrounding storylines and dramas and umpires makes baseball a very complex yet subtle enterprise. It reminds me of chess but with the competitive aspect of football that im used to. Maybe even more competitive. The psychology of baseball players is still a mystery to me and unlike any other sport ive seen. Maybe its just the coverage of the sport or the time between plays when you watch them but also interviews ive seen of ex baseball players becoming world class endurance athletes from the competitive mindset of baseball. Jason caldwell for example only played college baseball then got injured and picked uo rowing. Almost made the Olympics after only 3 yrs then went on to set the world record team boat crossing of the atlantic and Pacific. Sorry for the rambling just been watching football yrs completely ignorant of the elite level of baseball players hmm

There's a reason yadi has been doing this forever, he's one of the smartest/best defensive catchers to ever play the game

Yadi's love of the game and ability to read the situations is what makes him so great. Love the analysis of the non-verbal communication too. One thing I want to point out, is that Yadi for away with standing up so early because he used the left handed batter to block his stance. Being limited to seeing Yadi's feet rubber thought he was good to go.... He just d didn't know it was only 10 feet before the 2nd baseman already had the ball. Lol I'm a diehard fan for the Cardiac Cardinals, but it has been so awesome to watch Yadi, Wainwright, and Puljols over the years. They have natural abilities for the game and will be sorely missed.

Speaking of the cardinals, I need a pitching analysis of Albert Pujols during the cardinal blowout against the giants. Honestly a breakdown of Yadi, Pujols, and Wainright having a blast this season would be great.

The teams were pretty evenly matched, Id give a slight edge to the giants maybe, but we weren't going anywhere with matheny managing. Love the giants organization, probably my second favorite team. Happy when they won the WS. I also always root against the dodgers for some reason, don't know why lol

Man I wish I had a respectable baseball team. Orioles fan here but do root for giants when the inevitable happens with my team. Different shades but always loved the orange and black in SF too

Excellent research at the end!

I'm a Cubs fan born in Chicago. With that said, Molina is one of my all time favorite players. Absolute stud

I'm a massive cubs fan, but Yadi is a God. Nothing but respect.

Peak athletic mental game

Great insight great research!!!

Great heads up play. That was dope

First Ballot, HOF. No doubt in my mind. You can't measure this. Watch him 150 times a year for 18 years and this is what you see.

I think so

Molina nods at Goldschmidt: "Use the force." Goldschmidt: *shrugs

The way you end every video with a creative plug to the sponsor is so much a part of the entertainment from these videos😂 I always forget that you do that and then you tie it in somehow, some way and I end every video with an audible "HA jomboy get fuCKED" while I go to the next video laughing. Great stuff

I just love the way you call it all out. And thanks to jomboy media, I’ve found love for baseball again. 🙏

Yadi is an absolute beast. Gonna be a sad day when he is no longer taking the field for St Louis. You DON'T run on Yadi

Uhhh…look, Yadi’s a HoFer, but he’s not close to being the GOAT catcher when you’ve got the likes of Bench and Berra and both Pudges 😂 In fact, he’s very similar to Pudge Rodriguez-great fielding, throwing, contact hitter, historically durable…Rodriguez had a fair bit more power but otherwise they’re the same player

Lifetime cardinals fan here. Yadi is a national treasure, and I will be depressed forever when he is done.

Good job reading the scouting reports And recognising the play. Plus it is Yadier Molina. Thank you for the video.

This is what makes baseball cool. It’s not an endurance game it’s strategy and quick skills that win.

Great breakdown, and sweet segue and and visual tactic yourself to support your sponsor (Shady Rays).

I love plays like this, because its a reminder not all of sport can be boiled down to numbers. You can't calculate game knowledge, shot calling, or the ability to execute on them. Yadi is gonna be in HOF and its gonna make a lot of stat sheeters real mad

Yadi makes me wish I was a catcher. Just a legend of the game and a first ballot HOFer. Respect.

I would put Molina as my No. 1 defensive catcher, but if I'm going to have my pick of any catcher throughout history, there are a bunch of guys I'm picking over him because they can come close to providing his defense while providing much better offense.

I have never been into baseball but all other sports I dabbled in, mainly lacrosse and wrestling but I saw one of your videos and you sir have opened my eyes to the world of technical/weird/insane part of baseball

Great Vid. Yadi is a bad-azz! Never played for my team but greatly admired his skills behind the plate.

Yadi's a 4 star General. A baseball battle Master Tactician. Always has been. Sun Tzu could've learned a thing or two from Yadi. It sucks (for fans) it's his last season but with his record of excellence on the field and just being a catcher of this caliber and durability he earned and deserves retirement. Although I have a hunch he's still going to be involved in MLB somewhere.

Yadi is such an asset, that man is so respected across the league because of his prowess as a catcher and a true leader. I respect that dude so much even as a Yankee fan.

Only you guys would recognize this (well, you and Yadi). Great channel with great content, super glad I subscribed :)

I'm always impressed with every random jomboy video that I stumble across. This is great

Catcher's scanning eyes are so cool. Wheels turning. Brilliant!

Great breakdown. FYI for those who get the MLB tv package, it's worth watching the Giants broadcast crew break this play down when they resumed play in the bottom of the inning. Former Giants reliever Javy Lopez is so smart with his analysis.

Love it. Thanks JM

Yadi has forgotten more baseball than we'll ever learn. Dude is superhuman

Saying the scouting report… while it seems to be true, I’m sure Yadi also didn’t wanna give away what he saw that told him they were probably gonna run right there…ya know? Lol

Great analysis and camera interpretation

wow! Now that is some research! Great breakdown!

something yadi is so good at. he watches the game like no other. no other catcher is worried about the managers in the dugout let alone what the first base coach to whispering

It sucks that Yadi is gonna retire after this season. Would love to see him become a manager afterwards

I've watched more Jomboy breakdowns in the past year than the past 10 years total of actual baseball 😂

This breakdown is word class. No one does it better for us fans. Oh that play: it's the base coach's fault as the base runner's focus is on the pitcher's first move.

I’m glad you translated what he said at the end

I cannot imagine not having Yadi’s skill, insight, and leadership next year! Man, what a heads up play! This life long Cardinal fan appreciates you and is going to miss you when you are not behind the plate!

I saw this happen in real time, and, even as a Giants fan, I gotta say: You go, Yadier Molina! This was godlike!!!!

everything about this was amazing

Everyone was focused into the pitcher and 1st baseman, catcher probably could've stood up a second earlier and got away with it. Great read!

Yadi is a true general. His passion is unparalleled !

your breakdowns actually makes baseball seem interesting. from what i've seen, the corporate commentators are dull and lifeless in their commentary.
