What would you do in this situation?

A, walk to first base, or B, charge the mound.

Today, I'm letting 15 ,000 strangers make that decision as they coach me in a real professional baseball game.

Last time I played professionally, this happened.

The one, two, is in there, called third strike.

Dude, that was nasty.

And I did everything to prepare for that moment.

Professional coaches, YouTube tutorials, I even tried asking my dog for help.

Bro, that was a horrible swing.

But nothing seems to work, so I've reached my last resort, the internet.

Today, strangers will decide what position I play, what bat I use, if I steal, and every other decision I make.

Whatever gets the most votes, I have to do, no matter how stupid or dangerous it is.

I'm about to find out if 15 ,000 strangers are my solution,

or if they'll embarrass me in front of thousands of fans and make the wrong decision.

Obviously, before the game starts, I have to get warmed up.

So I asked my Instagram following 15 ,623 people what I should do to get warmed up, and they said, hit BP.

Throughout the day, I'll be asking my Instagram followers, random fans, and even going live to get tips from strangers in real time.

But for now, it's time to lock in.

That's not going to do it.

So during my pregame warm -up, I was honestly feeling kind of nervous.

Our opponents are the Portland Pickles.

Oh, the Portland Pickles.

That one guy's like seven feet tall.

I genuinely might not make it out alive.

And so, my fate lies in the hands of random strangers on the internet.

And my team, the YouTube Melonheads, have lost to the Portland Pickles three years in a row.

Uh, that's right.

We're that bad.

But this year, our team is stacked.

So it is of utmost importance that we bring home the W and don't screw it up for our team.

I'm batting second in the lineup.

I think it's time to ask the people a very important question.

What bat should I use?

all right boys i'm not gonna lie i'm a little nervous

i'm up next the people told me to use the pablo bad

i don't think it's legal here i think it's wood only

but you know what i don't care it's loud too so

if i hit this it's gonna be rough all right here we go i'm up boys wish me luck

but before i walked up to the plate

i had to consult my instagram coaches once again for some more advice should i bribe the umpire

i mean it could be smart uh

i could also get thrown out of the game oh

i guess i don't have a choice anymore how's

it going guys good you home plate i am fine it was at this moment

that he knew that's not

that much i'm bad hey no this is all

you need no no no no i'm gonna put this right here put

that right i'm batting second just remember

that first pitch strike don't worry all right so now

that the umpires are paid off

and i'm using an illegal bat

i had just one more question before stepping up to the plate what should my approach be

that two dollar bill that two dollar bill remember

that uh -huh you think this this bat's legal i love

it yeah sick yeah two away for lap bros all right approach i'm hacking i'm taking

Let's get a big hack, right here, also a mascot's pitching.

I don't know what's going on right now.

What?

Dylan kicks some of the dirt off the rubber.

Looks in for a sign, has it.

Winding the 1 -0 on the way.

Oh.

Dang.

That was a big hack, though.

Dylan has his sign, the 1 -1.

I didn't go thank you

that was the two dollars there the two dollars came in clutch about disagrees with

that video kind of disagrees with that too

but moving on why did the 2 -1 that one high fly ball out to right field ah

it was kind of nasty wasn't it yeah

that was a wood bat by the way definitely legal

it was a wood bat i took a big hack big hack

but just came up short i'm not even going to blame

that on my followers that was on me okay

so honestly we were not off to a great start

but don't worry because later in the game the unthinkable happened let's go let's go

But for now, I had to ask the people, what position should I play?

Wait, what's happening?

Are they really going to make me play left bench?

Oh my gosh, you've got to be kidding me.

I guess I'm sitting here for the inning.

You know what?

I'll take that.

After that pop fly to right field, I think I deserve to sit here.

Just under it.

So as I was sitting on the bench, our pitcher Tosh was absolutely dealing.

Pitch on the way.

Swung on and missed.

The game remained scoreless into the bottom of the second inning where a mascot got hit by Pitch.

Runner goes, Pitch on.

Whoa!

And then the Pickles hit an RBI single to make the score 1 -0.

Fast forward to the top of the fifth inning where the score was now 2 -0 Pickles.

I was getting pretty bored on the bench, so I decided to take a risk and ask a pretty big question.

Should I pitch?

Uh, hopefully I don't blow the game wide open.

my followers decided

that i need to pitch i haven't pitched in a long time probably since high school

100

and even then i was throwing like 63 miles an hour we'll see

101

if i come out of this a lot boys that's not good

102

that's not good i think we need to ask the people what my pitching approach should be

103

because i don't know what i'm doing up here i need coaching what's my pitching

104

Let's go boys.

105

It's time.

106

It's time for our pitching debut.

107

Welcome in, friends.

108

We believe that

109

Slap Bros out there on the mound for the Melonheads.

110

You told me to do it.

111

Wait, what's this?

112

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I ran a poll on Instagram and the people said that I should cheat.

113

That might be the first time I've seen a pitcher come out with bat spray on it.

114

Really? For some?

115

The bat spray in the bat pocket?

116

Yeah, for some for everything.

117

Guys, the umpire knows.

118

But will he say anything about it?

119

I don't think anybody saw that.

120

Oh, that's sticky.

121

Jeremiah Coughlin at the plate for the All -Stars.

122

First pitch to Jeremiah.

123

Yeah, dude.

124

I paid off that umpire.

125

I don't know who's batting right now some random guy back to the fastball the sticky stuff is doing too much

126

how did he hit that dude ah full count lap rose looks for a sign he has it pay off pitch

127

how's he hitting that 3 -2 on the way once more, this is ball four, Jerebio.

128

Dude, I walked that guy.

129

I walked the random guy.

130

Who are they sending me right now?

131

The plan is, paint the corners.

132

That's what y 'all wanted me to do, so that's what I'm going to do.

133

First pitch to the Rally Gator.

134

Here we go.

135

A strike, 0 -1.

136

So with some help from my defense, all I needed to do was put away the alligator standing at the plate.

137

The one, two, swung on and missed.

138

Got him.

139

The Rally Gator down on strikes.

140

Two outs.

141

I've honestly didn't think I would be here but we got two outs.

142

I had a random guy and then I had a mascot

143

but this is a real player so this is going to be the test boys.

144

Pitch to Carter Riley, swung on and missed.

145

That might be the best pitch I've ever thrown, I'm not going to lie.

146

I don't know if I want to go fastball here.

147

He's definitely going to hit the fastball.

148

I knew he would hit that after a hard hit single to put a man on first base this happened

149

that's not good that's not good that was a bad pitch

150

and with a man now on first

151

and second I think I was starting to cave under pressure because I walked the next guy 3 -2

152

Oh, and inside, ball four

153

Bases loaded I got a guy that's hot, so get this guy out

154

Alright, let me get one more

155

Yeah, let's go I was trying to stay true to my coaching advice of painting the corners

156

But I think that backfired

157

Because I walked him

158

And so I only went two -thirds of an inning

159

Walked in one run

160

And honestly was feeling like I let down the team game.

161

Hey, not what you wanted to see, but we still got a lot of game left.

162

The Pickles are only up 3 -0.

163

There's still hope.

164

But my teammate came in clutch and struck out the next guy with this nasty curveball to end the inning.

165

Watches that pitch curve in a cold strike and he knew it.

166

Yes!

167

Yes!

168

Yes!

169

Let's go, bro.

170

Hey, thanks, bro.

171

I appreciate that.

172

Dude.

173

Hey, that could have been way worse.

174

So far, strangers on the internet have not been the best coaches.

175

I've gone 0 for 1, had a rough outing on the mound, and our team was losing 3 to 0.

176

I desperately wanted to get my team back at the game, so I tried a new tactic.

177

Instead of asking my Instagram followers, I was going to ask random strangers in the stands.

178

What's up, bro?

179

Can you help me out real quick?

180

I'm up to bat soon.

181

Which bat should I use?

182

We've got the high fire, we've got a wooden bat right here, and we've got the Pablo bat.

183

High fire?

184

Good choice, bro.

185

Let's go.

186

So now that I've got my bat secured, I needed to ask another fan which batting gloves to use for my next at -bat.

187

You need the patriotic red, white, and blue.

188

Let's go, my man.

189

That's a good pick right there.

190

Let's go.

191

That's what we're wearing for you.

192

So with one out, men on first and second, an illegal baseball bat in my hand once again,

193

this was the moment I had been waiting for.

194

So lap bros at the plate, runners on at first and second.

195

A tank here would be great, right?

196

Oh, go, go, go, go.

197

stop throw down to third let's go dude we need to run here this could be perfect

198

a one oh swung on and hit up the middle that's going to get into the field for a base hit

199

oh let's go let's go let's go let's go let's go let's go that'll drive in one Let's go.

200

Let's go, baby.

201

Heck yeah, dude.

202

Boys, we did it.

203

We got our team into this game.

204

And it was all because of the strangers coaching my every move.

205

But let's hope these internet strangers don't screw it up for me later in the game.

206

Because remember, whatever they tell me to do, I have to do.

207

Anyways, now that I'm on base, I threw up another Instagram poll to ask a question

208

that might have a huge impact on the rest of the inning should i steal uh it's kind of risky

209

but it could work little p on at third that bros on at first

210

let's go let's go baby we're making something happen the coaching is actually working

211

so we now have ourselves a one run ball game guys did we just manufacture a run

212

i think we need to break down this play the catcher saw me steal

213

and went to grab the ball out of his glove throwing

214

it behind him allowing us to score a second run finally my instagram followers were starting to come in clutch

215

this is the ideal situation it's three to two right now we could win this game

216

Still one to Selmacher, up the middle and into center field for a base hit, round in the bag at third,

217

headed home, lap bros to throw to home, not in time!

218

Let's go, let's go baby!

219

That's tied, tied up, tied up baby!

220

Let's go dude!

221

Mellon heads up tied it up here in the top of the sixth!

222

I'm so tired, I just ran so hard, I probably should have slid but I had too many mics in my pocket.

223

I can't breathe at first.

224

I wasn't sure if this tactic would work, but here we are.

225

It's three to three I just made something happen for the team

226

And I think it was because of the strangers coaching me.

227

We then tacked on another run to take the lead

228

Oh one Swung on that is solidly struck out to left field coming in

229

but bouncing right in front of the left fielder the throw to the plate not

230

Gonna be in time and just like that the melon heads have taken the lead

231

We were going out to play defense in the seventh inning, and I decided to go live on TikTok.

232

Strangers on the internet have helped me play a solid professional baseball game,

233

but now let's see if they can carry me and my team to a victory.

234

All right, boys, we're going live.

235

Here we go.

236

Boys, I need your guys' help.

237

Coach me.

238

I'm at second base.

239

How do I play second base?

240

MR Wiffle said shift.

241

All right, I'm shifting.

242

Oh, what a play.

243

Oh, my goodness.

244

What a dime of a play.

245

I need to make a play here on TikTok Live.

246

That would be incredible.

247

Pitch on the way.

248

Oh, no. Oh, no, dude.

249

Oh, my God.

250

Dude, the melon heads are showing up tonight.

251

All right, so during my little TikTok live stream, the Pickles took the lead by one run.

252

We needed to get out of this inning to stand a chance at winning the game.

253

oh that's you let's go hey

254

we got an out all right y 'all thanks for watching the live uh the coaching was great

255

i'm gonna go play the rest of the game

256

it was a close game coming down to the last two innings

257

and i was getting nervous

258

so i needed something to distract myself should i prank my teammate

259

we're about to conduct the greatest baseball prank known to man we've got some matches and take the old hot foot

260

we've got to get tosh bro I'll get out of the way.

261

He doesn't suspect a thing.

262

Oh, no. Oh, hey, I got him.

263

Dude, what an epic failure, bro.

264

Well, it seems as though things took a turn.

265

The prank failed, our team was losing, and we only had two more innings left in the game.

266

But I had a brilliant idea that I brought to my internet coaches.

267

Should I play for the other team?

268

uh guys we're losing uh it's five to four i don't want to be on the losing team so

269

i'm gonna go try to play for the other team hey yo can i join the team

270

yeah let's make it happen

271

i don't want to be on the losing side let's go bro

272

it's good to be on the winning squad these guys suck dude

273

so i got suited up with my new pickles jersey and walked to the on -deck circle.

274

I'm about to hit for the Portland Pickles, the enemy at the beginning of this game, which is now my team.

275

It was at this moment I had a feeling that my team was not happy with me switching sides,

276

so I had to be prepared for anything.

277

If he hits me, should I charge the mound?

278

Uh -oh.

279

This could get ugly.

280

So I walked up to the plate for the opposing team, and this happened you guys suck hey good luck oh psych

281

so runners at first and second one down runner goes and an hbp

282

he just took that punch like a man i just punched him square in the face i actually punched him

283

Uh, if you didn't see that.

284

Okay, let's address the elephant in the room.

285

I clearly didn't punch him in the face.

286

But I did feel kind of bad for fake punching my own teammate, so I decided to ask my coach if they would have me back.

287

Adam, uh, I know I just played for the pickles.

288

I, uh, I switched sides for a little bit, but will you welcome me back to the Melonheads?

289

Uh, yes, I forgive you, and, um, and I need you to hit a double next inning.

290

A double?

291

This inning, we gotta win this inning.

292

I got you.

293

This is to win the game, by the way.

294

What a good man i'm back on the melon heads i gotta go get my jersey

295

so it was the top of the ninth we were down by one run

296

and desperately needed to score strangers on the internet had brought me this far in the game

297

and i had just one more at bat to see if they could carry me just a little farther

298

should i hit a homer to take the lead uh i think this one's a pretty obvious answer so lap rose

299

Rose to the plate, tying run on at first.

300

Gitz trying to preserve the win.

301

Pitch on the way, in first try.

302

Just had to see one.

303

Swinging for the fences here.

304

Gitz looks in at Rose, has his sign, comes set.

305

Oh, oh.

306

Oh.

307

Back.

308

Come on.

309

Oh, and two, the count on lap, Rose.

310

it stares in as his sign comes set

311

back to back hbps well i got hit

312

and even though i couldn't do it for my team

313

we somehow squeezed out a run to tie the game going

314

into the bottom of the ninth inning tosh semlicher to the plate

315

Aiming the balance right here.

316

The 1 -0.

317

Little number on the infield.

318

That's going to be huge trouble.

319

No play run comes in, and we are tied.

320

Dude, we tied it.

321

We tied it, baby.

322

All the random strangers coaching me in this game, it's boiling up to this moment right here.

323

0 -2, swung on and missed.

324

To the bottom of the ninth we go, all tied at five.

325

But as fate would have it, the Pickles walked it off to take the W.

326

That's game.

327

We almost had them, boys.

328

And even though we lost the game, I think the statistics prove that internet strangers coaching me in a real game actually worked.

329

Well, kind of.

330

Final score, 5 -6.

331

Pickles win.

332

It was a good game.

333

Big shout -out to you guys for being my coaches for the day.

334

15 ,623 people.

335

I love all of you guys.

336

So we'll see you in the next one.

337

Thank you.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
