He pitches the way I used to pitch. Just load the bases with walks then get taken out of the game

[jaylacko]

Imagine Machado still on the O's and Gomez plunks him, then Machado charges the mound. Best fight ever.

[toadwiiremotewithwiimotion]

Surprised that he didn’t try to fight the batter

[javierespitia]

He left the bases loaded and walked out laughing 😂😂

[CubsBaseball]

He has pretty good velocity with that outfield arm, he reached 90 twice and hit 89 a few times

[adamprince]

O's got a run without swinging the bat lmao

[pbjake]

I would have cried if Chris Davis struck out

[americanidiot]

Rays Trade: Carlos Gomez

If you're gonna have a position player pitch, at least make sure they know how to. I'm sure Gomez could do better if he knew how, but he had no idea how not to balk. He also short-armed the ball a ton.

[chickenskin]

Nasty pitches he had those hitters looking foolish he just made a strong case for himself for AL Cy Young

[joelorosario]

Really? Calling balks on a position player? Let the man throw, they clearly wanna get over with the game as soon as possible.

[willchu]

Bruh this man never pitched in his life and threw 91 on his first pitch

[mlwwifflefan]

It’s hilarious how the Umpire was calling the game so seriously

[TrailingSkies]

Pablo Sandoval pitched a dominant inning against the Dodgers. He absolutely looked like a legit pitcher on the mound.

[rise]

Lol imagine Bryce Harper on the mound throwing to hunter Strickland

[talkdattrashimmapullyacard]

⚾ When tha crowd cheered for him 👏 when he finally threw a strike 😆👍

[Cheetosboy]

Best pitcher! My brewers should trade for him 😂😂😂

[aresef]

Hey, he’s better than Chris Tillman, so maybe I shouldn’t be laughing.

[lilbeezy-]

It’s always cool to see position players pitch

[joeyladd]

It’s like watching a 13 year olds first time on the mound
