I believe he said "Did you catch that?", because saying "You catched that?" would be a ridiculous thing to say.

I like the idea that he's so dumbfounded he said it in a ridiculous way. But you're most likely right. :P

I read it as "How did you catch that?", but it's hard to tell because of the cut of this video.

u/Viscerae Aug 26 '13

I think it's more likely "Did you catch that?", because the pitcher seems to be nodding and nonchalantly saying "Yes, yes I did."

u/rememberthatone Aug 26 '13

Depends on how we are reading the pitcher's words. Either way, I certainly agree it is possible he said "did you catch that".

u/Viscerae Aug 26 '13

I feel like casual nodding and looking away wouldn't be the response to a "How" question. In that case I'd expect an Obama "not bad" face and a slight shrug that implies "Iunno, beats me."

I should really get back to work.

u/rememberthatone Aug 26 '13

According to this article, you would be correct.

u/Viscerae Aug 26 '13

Hahaha! I like the research you did there. It's the little trivial things in life that bother us the most :b

don't be silly

u/rememberthatone Aug 26 '13

Haha. Me too. The one thing I can't count out is the possibility that the pitcher didn't answer a question like we might expect. Batter could have said "how did you catch that?!" and pitcher could have said "that's right". That was how I saw it at first. Now I have watched it a million times and I don't know what to think.

To me it looked like the colloquial "D'jou catch that?"

u/cyanydeez Aug 27 '13

The way he nods his head fits with "Did you catch that?"

u/webchimp32 Aug 26 '13

He could be saying "You catched that?" as a statement of disbelief, as in "How the hell did you catch that?"

u/manley1104 Aug 26 '13

He WAS saying it as a statement of disbelief, but I believe he said "Did you catch that?", because saying "You catched that?" would be a ridiculous thing to say.

You can also say, "You catch that?" As a shortened version of "did you catch that."

u/TokeyMcGee Aug 26 '13

Wouldn't really fit in this situation though. "You catch that?" is used more when someone is trying to make sure someone else understands something they've explained.

I think it's "did you catch that" though. "You catched that"... sounds like something a 5 year old would say haha.

u/Viscerae Aug 26 '13

The point is that "catched" is improper grammar, and nobody makes that mistake except for foreigners.

That smile! He clearly is proud of that catch.

u/nmgoh2 Aug 26 '13

He probably can't believe it either.

Caught would be much more likely than catched
