Centerfielder steals ball from left fielder, a breakdown

in center field right here we got kevin kiermeier all the way over here we have randy rosarina pay attention to the state farm sign and where randy is and watch this crazy play it's brought to you by draftkings go to draftkings download the app use promo code john boy when you do that's what helps us out and we appreciate that all right here we go the game is tied at one to one in the top of the six fly ball to randy this is randy that's kier meyer there's the runner on third this is the state farm sign look what happens it's pretty wild man i've never really seen it that much the center fielder runs all the way over cuts him off throws it home doesn't make the play he's safe the lead goes to oakland randy's saying i got it i got it he gets behind it push gets randy had his momentum ready to go forward kiermeier goes no no no no no no no no no i'll do it i'll do it even though this ball's to left field and i'm the center fielder and then kier meyer's pissed because randy didn't get out of his way and randy's pissed because that's the most embarrassing thing someone can do to you and just big league like that he's shaking his head like okay i guess what's this guy's problem the next ball goes to center field kiermeier catches it randy stays in left field like a natural left fielder kind of normal and then they walks off and it's just kind of the most big league you can big league guy ever throws his gum now he's not upset about the optics he's upset because he didn't make the play his interview after the game about this is just as bizarre as the play itself listen in i thought long and hard about this and and i uh you know gotta tread lightly uh with with my wording on it i'm uh i'm in a unique position with with what my defensive skill set is and i'll never shy away from that i i believe i'm the best defensive outfitter in the game i'd put my talents up with with anyone i don't know if you can say i gotta tread lightly and then the next sentence is i'm the best outfielder in all of baseball but i mean kier meyer is really really really good defensive outfielder like very very good defensive outfielder but i don't want to be like i'm a tread lightly here i'm the best there ever was i wake up in the morning i piss excellence very confident in saying that now with that being said on the play i always tell my outfitters especially when there's a sac fly situation i tell them hey if i can get to this area i'm throwing yeah so this area guys this area right here that's all me if it's a sac fly anywhere i can get that's me that includes all the way to the left of the state farm sign i knew right away i could get behind it and get a re or uh you know work my momentum back towards the plate and you know from randy's standpoint it's not a it's a play you hardly ever see i've done it before um and it's worked in my favor back in the minor leagues and i did it one time back in st louis with corey dickerson in there and left and it was a very close play but so yeah he remembers exactly that he did this before corey dickerson and left he gets out of his way lets him do his thing same result not the throws offline and not in time but i have one of the best arms in the big leagues and i've i've had that since the day i've came here so i mean hey one uh one you got to respect the confidence and cockiness there i don't know you can sit down and be like i'm gonna tread lightly here i really thought out my answers i'm the best there ever was i have the best arm in the big leagues and every ball in the outfield should be mine if i want it i think i caught randy off guard he uh oh you think dude uh you know kind of stood his ground and that that hindered my uh ability to get behind the ball a little bit more than than what i wanted rightfully so so he's like yeah randy got in my way he needs to get out of my way there dude you jumped over him but then like the good angel on his shoulders like well rightfully so by randy he did nothing wrong in that play whatsoever once again i'm a playmaker out there and i'm very confident in my abilities i know i could have done it if circumstances were a little bit different if randy didn't get out of my way i would have done it i know that he's got the right to be there uh and you know but he hindered my play but also i know he's got the right to field his own position but if he gets out of my way and lets me field his position like i could have done it but once again um if anyone's at fault it's me for for doing that i trust randy in his ability but in them no you don't moment right there i was trying to to get to a certain spot and and make a throw and it didn't work out and i'm upset over it with myself if any other center fielders out there um you know might not be the right play any other center fielder obviously they don't do this but me my unique skill set being the best there ever was that i'm going to make the play i could have made that play and i'll have a convo with him let the let the dust settle i'm sure he's not too thrilled with me and he might not see eye to eye about it forever and i complete my case he complete his um arm feels really good feels really powerful and once again if uh you know balls hit in the air and i can get to it i want to throw and i think that gives our our team the best chance of winning and i'll stand behind that any day of the week so in the end i'm going to keep doing this and i'm going to let randy know he's got to get out my way dude i don't know how to think about this it's so bizarre the play itself is so bizarre the interview is so bizarre like kiermeier is one of the best center fielders in all baseball but that doesn't mean like that's still the correct play but you got to admire his confidence and maybe you don't admire his cockiness but maybe you admire his truthfulness but maybe you don't admire his cockiness i really don't know the only thing i do know he is good he goes and gets balls and tyler glass now loves it we had him we had him reacting it was like god damn it kev kev gets everything so if you want to hear glass now talk we got a show called the chris rose rotation you can do that or you could pick up glass now in fantasy or bet on him in a kuiper on the draftkings app and when you do download the draftkings app you should use code john boy to let him know that you know you like me it's just kind of we're all flirting with each other download draftkings that'd be like john boyce sent me wink wink some we're the best there ever was all of us

Kiermaier comes across as such a douchebag in that interview

[u/A_Warm_Freezer]

The worst part was that he defended himself afterwards

[u/Ursinity]

truly a master class in how not to give a post-game interview after a greedy play that failed, just unreal stuff lmao

[u/Pizzapizzaeco1]

I liked the part where he said he’s done it before, in the minor leagues.

Then they show his majors play that didn’t work either.

My dude!

[u/Fungamer2817]

If that’s him treading lightly, I want to know what he would have said otherwise...

[u/Hobmot]

He should be benched for making ego-driven suboptimal plays.

[u/oraclestats]

He defended himself like it wasnt his fault that he slept with his best friends girlfriend.

[u/NakedGoose]

I've never had an opinion about Keirmaier any which way. Now I think he is kind of a douche.

A similar play happened last night with Bader in Oneill, but on a routine fly ball. Oneill was camped under it and Bader showed up out of nowhere to call him off. I could tell Oneill was angry.

[u/freddychuckles]

Me thinks it could do something with the ball Arozarena caught last week.

the one Kiermaier couldn't find and Randy flew in out of nowhere to catch it?

Kermaier didn't seem too happy when that happened. If he really considers himself the king of the outfield, maybe he got salty.
