You meet with your players and you tell them, hey, look, just in case, the guy who throws 105, if he goes 3-2 breaking ball on you, you've got to swing at the end of the game, even if it's out of the strike zone.

And it was not that amazing.

We'll get to that in a second.

I want to teach the kids about Eric Gregg and the Levon Hernandez-Gregg Maddox game.

But here is Mero, our friend, the kid Mero.

He is doing a live stream watching the game with his friends.

This is the reason that people do these live streams so that you can have the frustration at the end of the game.

Here is a last pitch that is clearly not a strike.

Let's see how the kid Mero and his friends reacted.

I want to see the whole thing again, and I want you guys to hear the incredibly sad.

It's the saddest I've ever heard a bongo be.

It's just one stray bongo sound in the middle of them and their despondence.

That is impressive.

Forgive me because I'm going to play this a third time.

The reason I'm going to do this a third time, though, is I want you to see and see if you can freeze it on the secret handshake between the two guys in the back because it wasn't just that he was happy about it.

It's that the two of them were happy about it, and they gave a secret.

In the middle of all of their friend's misery, they tried to hide a secret handshake because they were happy.

There it was.

You saw it.

You saw it.
