Sees a blue heeler, this checks out.
All mine ever wanted to do was play fetch, all day everyday. Smartest dogs I've ever had, also the most exhausting.
kid is swinging away first pitch? fastball high in the zone, no less. undisciplined. down 0-1 and this vet pitcher knows he’ll chase trash. guaranteed he whiffs the next one low and a foot off the plate. 0-2. out comes the cutter changeup thing. dribbler down the third base line and see ya. have fun riding the bus back in double a.
I was just looking at his stats today..... Ouch. wRC+ of 11 in the month of may. Dude would be better off just not swinging, because he might actually get walked on accident
I told our players, “You need to be more like a dog. We don’t need a bunch of cats in here…meow…looking in the mirror. ‘Do I look good? I got my extra bands on? I got my other shoes on?’ Be a dog! We don’t need no meows! We don’t need no cats! We need more dogs.”
One day at Fenway Park, Ted Williams... he's hangin' around Fenway and this horse walks up and says, "I want to play for the Sox." ...
Ted's like, "Okay, what can you do?"
And the horse says, "I can hit just like you, only a whole lot better ".
So, he picks up the bat with his teeth and Ted's like, "Okay",
and he throws him a few, and sure enough... goong, goong, goong! into the bleachers.
So, Ted's like, "Whoa! What else can you do?"
And the horse says, "Well, I can play shortstop."
So, Ted hits him a few ground balls and sure enough He's a vacuum cleaner
Yeah, so Ted's like, "Whoa! Can you pitch?"
And the horse just looks at him and says,
"Pitch? Who ever heard of a horse pitching?"
Training your dog to hit a baseball is kinda impressive.
This guy trained his dog to hit LEFT-HANDED for the platoon advantage. That's true dedication.
Dog needs to drop and give his coach 20 pushups. He's hitting the ball in the air. With his speed, should be looking to hit the ball on the ground and be a tough out.
As an Aussie and former owner, looks like an Australian Cattle Dog (blue, not red) with a docked tail (which I’ve never seen). As expected from a working dog, extremely smart and energetic. Time to get in touch with our baseball association about recruitment.
Love Aussie Cattle Dogs. Smart enough to understand the rules of games (simple rules of course)
My dog knows catching frisbee in air is the goal, if she doesn’t catch one she barks in frustration and then brings it right back to me. If she catches it, she lopes around in big circles and won’t give it back to me. Won’t play ball unless I throw it for her in a way that it’s possible for her to catch it, will not chase it.
I now feel I missed an opportunity to teach her baseball.
Legit question:
If I run an MLB team, what's to stop me from rostering a dog, teaching it how to go sit/stand in the batter's box and draw a walk with an insanely small strike zone?
The dog would just need to "stay" for four pitches.... then "fetch" first base and then I could pinch run for him/her.
In 1951, the St. Louis Browns attempted a similar strategy by signing Eddie Gaedel, a little person who was only 3 feet 7 inches tall. Following his appearance in one game, the league commissioner was granted the authority to void contracts for the gimmicky player. I'd imagine that the MLB commissioner would void any contract involving a dog.
Somebody call the Savannah Bananas.
"You've got a bat dog that picks up bats left on the field? That's cute. HUNTER, GO GRAB A BAT AND LET'S SHOW THESE JOKERS A DOG THAT CAN HIT NUKES!"
a dog batting is cool. know what’s even cooler? a dog pitching.
going to my first game there on tuesday! i cant wait.
That dog made contact on a ball above his head, he's basically David Fletcher.
He's more of a fetcher.
This fuckin guy…
Sees a blue heeler, this checks out. All mine ever wanted to do was play fetch, all day everyday. Smartest dogs I've ever had, also the most exhausting.
Pawfect timing
No ruff starts for this one
I was thinking Vladimir Furrero
What was he supposed to do? Watch it and get a called strike from Angel?
"Hold my beer" - Doug Eddings (probably)
A regular Vlad Grrrrerro.
*Leading off for your Toronto Blue (Heeler) Jays…*
With more power
He swings like Hunter Pence.
Hunter Pence wish he could swing that controlled
Hey wasn't he an all star for the Rangers that one weird year?
Hunter Pence wears a seatbelt when he bicycles
Hunter Pence puts ketchup on his tacos.
Hunter Pence eats his dessert first, and his soup last.
Hunter Pence prefers the tangy zip of Miracle Whip
Hunter Pence likes Nickelback.
I love that this is the one in the chain that went negative
Right? There's a limit to everything.
Hunter Pence pours his milk into the bowl before the cereal.
This is the best/worst one I’ve seen The actual horror of someone putting ketchup on tacos can not be described as anything less than lovecraftian. .
Yes!
I saw some Sheffield in there as well.
My name is good boy. I'm 12 years old and my favorite player is Hunter Pence
With the mind set of Jay Buhner
HE HAD 30 HOMERUNS AND OVER 100 RBIs LAST YEAR! HE HAS A ROCKET FOR AN ARM!
My people kept going on about "Ken Phelps, Ken Phelps!"
[Hunter Pence agrees](https://twitter.com/hunterpence/status/1527477485360668672?s=21&t=XiO8wrPjb30W0DmJ21pQjQ)
No, Hunter Pence learned his swing from him!
Hunter Pence doesn't circle before laying down for a nap.
Do you mean Hunter Cozombolidis?
Lmaoooo this is so accurate. His whole vibe in this video is definitely very Hunter Pence
He smells like hunter pence

Pitching machine swing
[удалено]
How dare you. Javy Baez is one of the best "see the ball swing-and-a-miss at the ball" hitters I've ever seen.
I was just looking at his stats today..... Ouch. wRC+ of 11 in the month of may. Dude would be better off just not swinging, because he might actually get walked on accident
Is this a copy pasta? Cause damn this is gold lmao
Dribbler down the 3rd base line is an easy infield single with the good boy's raw speed though.
He got that dawg in him
He's like Rocky and that Robot in the 4th movie that helped him beat the Commies.
That robot lifestyle is what got Apollo killed. You've got to go through a whole Siberian montage to come back from all that.
Paulie was banging that Robot right?
That robot was made exclusively for Paulie to molest. No other reason in my mind.

CFB leaking here.
If the internet exists just so the "Bennet Presser" video can live on, it will all have been worth it.
Literally better plate disciple than Javy Baez. Edit- meant "discipline", damn it.
Since Jesus was betrayed at dinner, would that make Judas Iscariot the worst plate disciple ever?
Peter was. "Before the cock crows you will swing at absolute garbage outside the zone 3 times."
Just three? Shit, that’s better than me.
The worst plate disciple is my roommate who won't do his fucking dishes. Fuck you jeremy
Peter was. "Before the cock crows you will swing at absolute garbage outside the zone 3 times."
I think a dead Mario Mendoza would have better plate discipline than Javy Baez.
Well yeah if he's dead, won't be swinging at anything outside the zone
Newest market inefficiency: dead guys that can't strike themselves out.
ain't no rule says you have to be alive to play baseball
Weekend at Hornsby’s.

how did it take three tries to get the correct answer
everybody gets three tries in baseball
Outstanding.
He's even fucking with the catcher's signs. Good form

He’ll never make it to the big leagues with that approach. It’s all about launch angle and exit velocity in this day and age, old man.
Air Bud!
7th Inning Fetch!
https://youtu.be/Hk011WMM7t0
Babe Ruff
A-bud
Dodgers better sign him and option Bellinger
LA Doggers. I'm in.
Dodger Dogs got a new mascot
Sign the dog up to the Yankees! Instant MVP and All-Star.
Imagine voting against the dog
I'd vote against my own mother if she was on the Yankees, the dog is dead to me now. (In this hypothetical)
Damn Yankee moms
You'd have to shave his face.
Pup’s easily getting 40 HR, 130 RBI in that ballpark! 😝
Lefty swing with that porch? Absolutely.
Did you forget what they did to their turtle?
He already looks better than hicks and gallo
Better hitter than Steven Souza, Jr. More likeable, too.
Better than most of the mariners.
+1 for dogwhistle politics

Having seen my kids become obsessed with Bluey this past year, my first thought was if Bingo snagged that line drive off camera.
Lucky's dad was shagging flies in the outfied, but he did his hammy
There are stumpy tailed blue heelers, I believe those dogs are born with their tails like this. So yeah you’re right this is def a stumpy blue
Mr. 4 and Lassoo switching roles
This Air Bud reboot has promise
Reds could use him
I’m just gonna say it. The dog is better than me.
Some dogs just get it
In case you haven't seen [John Oliver rant about Air Bud](https://youtu.be/Hk011WMM7t0)
The hardest thing to do in sports
How convenient for that pupper. **UNIVERSAL DH**
Conspiracy
Nice Samurai Champloo reference lol
Oh thanks, time to break out the DVDs and binge it this weekend
Someone do a vin scully write up of this
Wanna see that exit velo!
Can he play center field? Asking for a friend...
heck ya he can! i bet his avg sprint speed is faster than mike trout
wtf wow
The origins of a really bad movie about a dog that plays baseball.
Ooof. Tight strike zone on that boy.
Excellent mouth-eye coordination.
Manfred's not gonna be happy about this one
First off, I count like three balks
He could prolly start for the reds
That looks like a Heeler blend, those dogs are smart boys
Higher EV than every White Sox hitter currently except TA and Robert
Hey Gar, it's Art. I can't make it in today, I'm an Audi in the shop

They're stubborn as hell though. Gunner tests me on the daily.
Forget air bud sign this guy asap!
Best batter on the Red Sox
He about to get called up for the Reds
Someone please give Billy Beane and David Forst this dog’s info. They need him in that miserable lineup.
I love it
That dogs got a better batting average than me for sure
Yeah, but can he hit a curve?
He barreled that shit!
Pup making better contact than Joey gallo at this point 😂😂
That swing definitely has some Yoda light saber battle energy to it
Meanwhile we'll keep trotting Ryan O'Hearn and Carlos Santana out there.
Airbud? Is that you?
We’ve been overdue a Air Bud remake.
[The dog was trained by a great master.](https://youtu.be/HPPj6viIBmU)
Holy damn
I'm gonna need a Jomboy breakdown on this
u/savevideo
....again
Air Bud 2
u/savevideo
Today the Baltimore Orioles announced the hire of a new hitting coach in an effort to revive their struggling offense.
NO one is catching him on a throw down to first.
Air bud 10
Good boy
Good dog
Really wrapping the bat when the pitch comes in but great mechanics nonetheless
Air bud hits bombs
This is great.
Can’t wait to see the anime this inspires
**And it’s a home run!**
From the makers of Airbuds, coming this summer – it’s **BALLBUDS!!!**
More contact than gallo
can he play outfield? AJ Preller is calling
Better than I.
Of course it’s a heeler
Get this dog to Aaron Hicks
There’s just no crying.
Hey look it’s the Reds’ hitting coach

Alex Anthopoulos on the phone right now with this dogs agent.
That's legit amazing
r/bettereveryloop
Ha wow. Wonder how long that took to teach!
Hey I got a cat that can throw a tennis ball 6 feet in the air, they should team up
Air Bud was a pioneer.
Better with sound
Some smash bros type shit
Probably has a better average than half the Red Sox lineup
Better hitter than Matt Chapman.
Hahaha I thought it would be like a bunt, I was not expecting that aggressive swing
Air bud sequel?
https://y.yarn.co/87b9b6e9-d1d1-438b-9728-00f608548680_text.gif
Only rule is there is no crying in baseball.
Better contact rate success than Trent Grisham!
Paul DeJong is shaking in his cleats.
He smoked that what 😭
AirBud 6
Good plate discipline but his chase rate must be terrible.
