JOBA CHAMBERLAIN IS ATHLETIC
06.02.09I had a conversation with Rob Iracane about why I hate baseball highlights–they’re exactly the same. Here’s a diving play by the shortstop. Here’s an outfielder robbing a home run. Here’s a guy doing cocaine… You get the idea. But watching someone as big as Joba Chamberlain sprint off the mound and dive for a botched bunt is somewhat impressive. But then seeing him throw to second to make it a double play produces a solid score of “badass.” Video’s after the jump.
As if that wasn’t enough, he swallowed a midge in the eighth inning. What’s a midge? I don’t know, whatsamidge with you? Eh, that doesn’t really work…


I was watching this game, and Pettite and CC were dying in the dugout. Maybe it had to do with the face that he faceplants.
I love his expression and the 3 second pause where he realizes it and then says DER TE DURRR till he figures out he better throw it somewhere…
Yeah, I am sure it was hard to get that last out, Dimpie seeing your boys falling out at you.
Great play….

Quite the glowing endorsement for his mother’s meth. Smoke my shit and make great plays!
Someone forgot to get expressed written consent of Major League Baseball to post that clip.
Fucking MLB. God forbid I should be allowed to watch a clip that might pique my interest in the sport.
That’s because this clip is currently running in a loop on the disney channel (espn). You’re supposed to be watching their paid advertisers.
