1
What would you do in this situation?
2
A, walk to first base, or B, charge the mound.
3
Today, I'm letting 15 ,000 strangers make that decision as they coach me in a real professional baseball game.
4
Last time I played professionally, this happened.
5
The one, two, is in there, called third strike.
6
Dude, that was nasty.
7
And I did everything to prepare for that moment.
8
Professional coaches, YouTube tutorials, I even tried asking my dog for help.
9
Bro, that was a horrible swing.
10
But nothing seems to work, so I've reached my last resort, the internet.
11
Today, strangers will decide what position I play, what bat I use, if I steal, and every other decision I make.
12
Whatever gets the most votes, I have to do, no matter how stupid or dangerous it is.
13
I'm about to find out if 15 ,000 strangers are my solution,
14
or if they'll embarrass me in front of thousands of fans and make the wrong decision.
15
Obviously, before the game starts, I have to get warmed up.
16
So I asked my Instagram following 15 ,623 people what I should do to get warmed up, and they said, hit BP.
17
Throughout the day, I'll be asking my Instagram followers, random fans, and even going live to get tips from strangers in real time.
18
But for now, it's time to lock in.
19
That's not going to do it.
20
So during my pregame warm -up, I was honestly feeling kind of nervous.
21
Our opponents are the Portland Pickles.
22
Oh, the Portland Pickles.
23
That one guy's like seven feet tall.
24
I genuinely might not make it out alive.
25
And so, my fate lies in the hands of random strangers on the internet.
26
And my team, the YouTube Melonheads, have lost to the Portland Pickles three years in a row.
27
Uh, that's right.
28
We're that bad.
29
But this year, our team is stacked.
30
So it is of utmost importance that we bring home the W and don't screw it up for our team.
31
I'm batting second in the lineup.
32
I think it's time to ask the people a very important question.
33
What bat should I use?
34
all right boys i'm not gonna lie i'm a little nervous
35
i'm up next the people told me to use the pablo bad
36
i don't think it's legal here i think it's wood only
37
but you know what i don't care it's loud too so
38
if i hit this it's gonna be rough all right here we go i'm up boys wish me luck
39
but before i walked up to the plate
40
i had to consult my instagram coaches once again for some more advice should i bribe the umpire
41
i mean it could be smart uh
42
i could also get thrown out of the game oh
43
i guess i don't have a choice anymore how's
44
it going guys good you home plate i am fine it was at this moment
45
that he knew that's not
46
that much i'm bad hey no this is all
47
you need no no no no i'm gonna put this right here put
48
that right i'm batting second just remember
49
that first pitch strike don't worry all right so now
50
that the umpires are paid off
51
and i'm using an illegal bat
52
i had just one more question before stepping up to the plate what should my approach be
53
that two dollar bill that two dollar bill remember
54
that uh -huh you think this this bat's legal i love
55
it yeah sick yeah two away for lap bros all right approach i'm hacking i'm taking
56
Let's get a big hack, right here, also a mascot's pitching.
57
I don't know what's going on right now.
58
What?
59
Dylan kicks some of the dirt off the rubber.
60
Looks in for a sign, has it.
61
Winding the 1 -0 on the way.
62
Oh.
63
Oh.
64
Dang.
65
That was a big hack, though.
66
Dylan has his sign, the 1 -1.
67
I didn't go thank you
68
that was the two dollars there the two dollars came in clutch about disagrees with
69
that video kind of disagrees with that too
70
but moving on why did the 2 -1 that one high fly ball out to right field ah
71
it was kind of nasty wasn't it yeah
72
that was a wood bat by the way definitely legal
73
it was a wood bat i took a big hack big hack
74
but just came up short i'm not even going to blame
75
that on my followers that was on me okay
76
so honestly we were not off to a great start
77
but don't worry because later in the game the unthinkable happened let's go let's go
78
But for now, I had to ask the people, what position should I play?
79
Wait, what's happening?
80
Are they really going to make me play left bench?
81
Oh my gosh, you've got to be kidding me.
82
I guess I'm sitting here for the inning.
83
You know what?
84
I'll take that.
85
After that pop fly to right field, I think I deserve to sit here.
86
Just under it.
87
So as I was sitting on the bench, our pitcher Tosh was absolutely dealing.
88
Pitch on the way.
89
Swung on and missed.
90
The game remained scoreless into the bottom of the second inning where a mascot got hit by Pitch.
91
Runner goes, Pitch on.
92
Whoa!
93
And then the Pickles hit an RBI single to make the score 1 -0.
94
Fast forward to the top of the fifth inning where the score was now 2 -0 Pickles.
95
I was getting pretty bored on the bench, so I decided to take a risk and ask a pretty big question.
96
Should I pitch?
97
Uh, hopefully I don't blow the game wide open.
98
my followers decided
99
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.
FOR YOU

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
