Justin Bour des Anges gave an embarrassing double game because of a big fart of the brain

In the round of 16 against the Mariners on Friday, Angels first baseman Justin Bour passed the ball over the infield on the same court as his teammate Brian Goodwin had attempted to fly in second place. Bour assumed that the pop-up would result in an easy exit and started walking right out of the batter's box before the ball fell into the glove of an opposing player. Because Goodwin had also assumed that the game would give rise to a regular flight, he returned to first base. Mariners fieldman Dee Gordon realized this and shouted to Ryon Healy to drop the ball so he could turn around. The nonchalance with which they were successful was both hilarious and humiliating and, worse yet, it ended the round.

Bour took full responsibility for his mistake after the match – though without really having a choice – and told reporters, "Honestly, there's really no excuse for that. It's something you've been learning since the day you start playing baseball – there's no excuse for that – it can never happen again.

The director Brad Ausmus was even quite understanding of what had happened. Of course, he was not happy, but he expressed his confidence in Bour to know that what he had done was stupid, according to the OC register.

Manager Brad Ausmus said he did not talk to Bour about the play and did not think he needed it.

"It's the kind of thing you will not even have to explain," Ausmus said. "It will never happen again in his career. It was just an extreme mental error that once that happens, it will never happen again.

Ausmus added, "You learn this very early in Little League."

Obviously, a manager is usually not ready to tell the media that a player is going ahead in these situations, but Ausmus' response was still a little moderate, knowing it was the second time Bour scored his head in a week. Last Saturday, the Angel made his entry into the Cubs category when, after being called safely in second place, he started walking up to the dugout because he felt like he had been tagged before slipping. go back. The replays would show later that Bour would probably have been called after a second look, but from a competitive point of view, it's never good to leave an opponent to the loophole.

However, Bour Bourgeois's decision was worse than after the Cubs. The pop-up came late against a divisional rival in a match that his team would eventually lose – the Angels beat the Cubs 6-5 – and that happened shortly after Mike Trout was completely eliminated. crushed in the middle of the field and returned his bat to celebrate the draw 3-3.

If this season ends as disappointing as the last years for the Angels, this piece will be an excellent metaphor for the recent history of this franchise: Trout will do everything in its power to help his team win the victory and his teammates to do it. all they can to get him messed up.
