Bat Not Bat Draft // Regulation Supplemental

It's a bird. It's a plane. It's a... bat? The Bat not bat draft is underway and we're drafting things that are but aren't bats (the animal.) What's your number 1 bat draft pick? What got left off the board? Did you like how many baseball related things came up here? Take flight! It's the bat, not bat draft.

Bat Not Bat Draft // Regulation Supplemental

Comments

Okay now that I have finished watching the draft, I regret standing up for Andrew. Mortal Kombat was an insane choice

Brock Fransen

Lucille was a fine pick. Geoff’s examples of “what it allowed” were all shit picks. So yeah, allow shit picks. If people want to ruin their board with shitty knock-offs, let them. This was just Eric not confident enough in the basic pick of “baseball bat” to be able to handle a little competition about it. Andrew picked a better bat, Eric went basic and boring.

Brock Fransen

Andrew does not fail to come up with new kinds of stupid.

Pride

Shout outs to the greatest superhero rock band in existence, The Aquabats!

Alannah Guevara

Late to the party but I just learned that a pinball flipper is also called a bat. Maybe Gavin can use that for bat not bat draft 2

Yeety McBums

Eric and I agreed so hard in this draft the chaos was so strong and I freaking loved it

david

Love u guys

Cole Lang05

Haven’t checked the voting yet, but it seems pretty clear Eric lost. To pick Batman, the obvious choice, everyone seemed to be clearly not choosing him because it was so obvious. And then to use Batter’s Box? Just lame like Gavin was saying.

Dylan Harris

100% Mortal kombat should have been allowed. while it does have combat, it's a franchise as well as a tournament.

Zach Lang

I'm surprised no one went with vampires that turn into bats.

Chrisjian

Honorable mention to the improv game where you do scenes in the dark aka “bats”

Big Deuce is Loose

I like this precedent, that - like Grandmaster-level chess tournaments - each draft is subject to a rules redux as long as there’s consensus.

Big Deuce is Loose

Mortal Kombat definitely should have been allowed. Spelled differently and a specific game/franchise.

Gavin Enderson

BATtusi

Edgar Vega

29:00 - yes, still a bat bomb. Just not armed

Thomas

Hear me out. Pick 1: Battery (electric storage), Pick 2: Battery (crime), Pick 3: Battery (by Metallica), Pick 4: Battery (artillery).

HartMurmur

Erik sucks and is dumb

Brosao

so I’m watching this the same day gene hackman died and geoff mentions gene hackman. the AH curse is alive and well. gene hackman is not however 🫤

Summer

“It’s so cool we have to” is a never before heard statement in a draft, from ERIC nonetheless! I love these drafts

Tan

Not the Gene Hackman mention

Casey Nepivoda

I probably would have gone for a violence theme. "Assault and Battery", "Battered and bruised", "Combat", etc. Can't say Andrew's "Bat Fight" would have been on there though.

[Your Name Here]

I also learned in the first round and I feel very happy about it

Alex

Can we please get somebody to do the art for Combat Wombat???

Kevin Tester

It's up now 👍

Regulation Brenton

Mortal Kombat should have been allowed because it's refering to the video games or movies, not the physical action of combat!! Same with Bat Fight being a song not a fight 😂😅 Andrew needs a lawyer with him for these to plead his case.

Sarah Dawn Richardson

I feel like batts of insulation were severely underappreciated in this draft.

Justin

The argument against it would be that its use of bat is possessive and loses the spirit of the draft when you can extend it to anything used by a batter. Like a batter's shoes or a batter's helmet. You could extend it to Batman's bedroom or Batman's regrets where the actual non-bat bat is Batman and not his ordinary things.

mitzt

I would have gone with ”assault and battery”. But I didn’t get the batters box argument? Why wouldnt you allow it?

Lauri Nordling

Batters Box seems wrong because it is a bat in a verb and not a noun or adjective. Yes, I know a batters box is a noun but I think it is the bat being in the verb that is causing the dissonance.

Steven Skidmore

I don't see a poll yet for who won but it was 100% Gavin

Saysi

Gavin wins for Bat Buoy. That picture had me in tears from laughing so hard.

Mara Copland

Mortal Kombat 100% should have counted. It is a game franchise. Eric having any and all fights because they have combat is over the top.

Dylan Kice

Eric knocked it out of the park

Noah Stuvel

No it was created by a fan. It has been used many times.

Raider the Animator

If Gavin went with cricket bat, he would've had my vote but I gotta hand it to Andrew.

Sam

Temu Mortal Kombat featuring Scorpio and Freezeman

Jeff Freeman

I don't think "combat" should have disqualified "Mortal Kombat." All Mortal Kombat might be combat, but not all combat is Mortal Kombat. It would be like disqualifying any other baseball terminology after the first one is used.

Brandon Telle

Personally I appreciated the correction to the drinks draf fiasco here. Andrew too often makes picks in these drafts that are basically lazy alternates of other picks. Glad to see him finally get shut down.

Joshua Dodge

It wasn't it's deadliness that got it scrapped. In testing there was no way to guarantee the bats would wake up in time and roost while the bomb was still falling. Also in testing the bats burned down the building they were testing in.

Joshua Dodge

This draft was batshit crazy

Regulation Enjoyer

Gavin should’ve gone with cricket bat instead of bat buoy

Daniel McGrotty

Nick absolutely won that draft

Liana (BebopBaby)

Andrew's actually correct: koalas and wombats are both marsupials.

Gabriel Rosenkoetter

Fun fact, that I learned (and then experienced a repeat of): if the children reaching "adulthood" are twins, that's a binai mitzvah (regardless of their respective gender identity; I attended middle school with both a pair of cis male-identifying boys, and a twin pair, one male-identifying, one female).

Gabriel Rosenkoetter

Nick had the best single pick, Gavin had the best set. This was amazing

Nathaniel Comeaux

This draft had way more solid picks than expected. I think this was a home run gentlemen. Great job 9/10.

Dinkleberg65

No Aquabats huh

starf

second pick in the whole draft and andrew andrew'd it. amazing.

Josh

Changed my mind mad Mortal Kombat wasn’t allowed. Crazy

Bop

Imma go with nick and say Battery (either ones for power or ordance.) Batter. Battitude (monster truck) and batfish.

Jeffrey Brady

The fact no-one picked the F**kFace bat knob is telling

Ben

Andrew would have won with bat-dog if he didn’t absolutely fumble his other picks. Gotta go with Gavin.

Tuomas L

Nick said "Combat Wombat" @38:18 and we need to make at a thing

SuperDuprEgg

I supported mortal kombat until Andrew shouted out fuckin scorpio! Listen, I have a mortal kombat tattoo so I might be a little salty 😂

Logan Phoenix

If Eric had Acrobat as his last pick, would be a solid list, even though he can't say Buoy correctly..

Regulation Brenton

Agreed. Lucille is a character from a comic / TV show; You'd never play baseball with it.

Regulation Brenton

Back to back Draft Drops? F**k yeah!

Cheems

If they think the bat bomb was mad wait until they hear about the pigeon missile 😰

terry thorpe

Time to rescind Nicks normal guy status.

terry thorpe

The Bat bomb was thought up by a dentist. It was too deadly so they didn't use it and went with the nuke instead.

Scott MacLean

andrew not being allowed to take lucille is absolute rubbish after the drinks draft nonsense

Behemoths Untold

Combat was a stroke of genius

Russell Richardson

Gavin wins for sure, though Andrew was robbed, they should have let Lucille and Mortal Kombat through.

Kayla

Because of the Shaun of The Dead reference, i have to go with andrew on this one.

comment leaver.

Without doing any research, I believe Ratchet from Ratchet and Clank might be a wombat. Hope this helps Andrew

Trenton

I think we either have enough, or are close to having enough drafts completed now for the gang to do the first Regulation Draft Draft where they select the top Regulation Drafts.

Btor Sixty

Batshit in the fourth round is CRAZY value.

Btor Sixty

Gavin definitely won this one.

Victoria Marie

Gavin for the win in my opinion. I feel his picks were the most creative and entertaining.

Dirk Rozich

I think someone missed a good opportunity to choose both Battery (the item) and Battery (assault). Totally would have caused chaos with Erics Combat pick, but that's the fun

Doc Holliday

Gavin’s first two picks are so damn good that I have to pick him as the winner.

Norm

Geoff you picked one of my favorite WW2 weird facts. It was invented by a dentist. Bats armed with the incendiary device escaped onto the base they were being tested and the base burned down.

Goshawk

Eric wins, but only just due to the dogshit last pick, intentionally or not.

Josh Baggs

I gotta say Nick for the Batwing. As a penis puppeteer, I appreciate good erm... genitalia play

SaY-DiST

Damn, this is the first draft where I really am having a hard time choosing a winner; everyone's lists were so good.

nd4spd1919

I think Gavin won this one.

dvashawn

TWO Drafts in row?? Oh my starsss

Roger Flynn

Shocked and appalled that the ACOTAR "bat boys" weren't mentioned. At least 2 of their 4 wives have read the series, not to mention that 2 of them also have a smut podcast 😂

Mirandalorian

not sure i understand what the rules of this draft are but seems like neither does the crew so lets just keep it rolling!

Lui

Figured someone would have picked Meatloaf's "Bat Out of Hell"

IckeyShuffle

I think Gavin wins solely on bat mitzvah.

Mvs

They explicitly call out that the drinks draft is an anti-precedent—they don’t want that shit happening again. I agree that combat and Mortal Kombat are distinct enough, but Lucille is straight up also a baseball bat

Riley Pearsall

Bat Bouy very strong

Zach Anaya

27:27 Holy war crimes, Batman!

Riley Pearsall

Just wait until the Bar not Bar draft 😅

Zach Anaya

I woulda gone batt insulation. Bat mobile for sure. Bat Boy is the absolute best pick.

Zach Anaya

Its a tie between Gaven and Nick

Natendo™

Geoff wins on the basis of the bat bomb, hard to choose otherwise since these are such great picks

Henrique Lapeu

I would allow both Lucille and Mortal Kombat, Andrew sucked at arguing for them but Mortal Kombat is an easy yes, it's a video game, sure it's a fighting or "combat" game but in that spirit everything Batman related needs to go I say Lucille stays cause it's a specific bat, Geoff tried arguing "well first bat lou gehrig used" which I'd say yes, you can pick that, it's a garbage pick next to baseball bat, also kinda disingenuous argument since Lucille is very much not used as a baseball bat

Deweyc0x

I was all for Eric until Batters Box, I respect the pick but as he said, he tanked it

Deweyc0x

Batista got snubbed

Delirious Beast

I was hoping for some assault and Battery

Kristyn Beard

The Fat Electrician on YouTube has a good video about the bat bomb for anyone interested.

Russell Hawes

Andrew was full wild card this draft. Always a pleasure

DudeRetro

now if this was a mitsvah draft...

raychle

I really respect Eric for throwing the absolute best board on principle. Got to give the win to Geoff, practically on Bat Boy alone. Unlocked a seriously deep memory. There was even a musical!!

This Guy

Happy to be a hypocrite who had no issues with the drinks draft and has no issues here 💕💕

Bop

Gavin absolutely won

Lord Jonathan the Ace the third Esquire Jr

I'm torn between Eric and Andrew as winners. Andrew's picks are a bit better but Eric shut down and won an offscreen argument with his only bad pick. I felt like it shouldn't count either but using the already accepted batboy and bat dog as a counterpoint was flawless.

mitzt

Battenberg cake

Michael

I am irrationally upset that Lucille was not accepted after the disaster that was coffee during the beverage draft. A baseball bat is the base, but the barbed wire and name CLEARLY makes it a unique item! Mortal Kombat pushed me over the edge and I actually subscribed to the patreon just so I could come complain about it. #JUSTICEFORANDREW

Vanner The Ranger

On the note of “ombat”s - Tombat is a Pal from Palworld

Preston Collins

Honestly being surprised and annoyed by the crazy things they do and say is at least 49% of my enjoyment of this podcast.

ViciousWarGoose

I need to argue against bat buoy. The buoy did not belong to Batman, he just happened to be standing on it. Other than that, I agree with all the other rulings that were made on this board

BonemanZ

Gavin absolutely won this

Holly Vee

I've not bought a t-shirt from rt before, but I would absolutely buy a t-shirt that said "you gotta strike while the going's good"

windyMelon

As much as I like the bat bomb as a concept, I just looked it up, and the idea for it came from an oral surgeon who wrote a letter to President Roosevelt, because the surgeon was an acquaintance of the First Lady.

Jack Armstrong

I think at some point we need a regulation draft draft

sam jack

Yeah, he should’ve said that combat is a general concept/event and Mortal Kombat is specifically the video game franchise. Two very different things.

rddsknk89

I thought they would go this way with the draft, because they are indeed bats. But the paradox is that they are also not bats, thus making them elidgabe for the bat, not bat draft. One could argue that they are probably the most bat, not bat selection on this list.

Malignant Toaster

Gavin is a clear winner for me. All solid picks in the spirit of the draft. Batters Box was terrible and I think it's the most egregious pick besides Bat-tery. Also Eric trying to call Andrew on Bat Fight didn't make sense to me; the word fight doesn't interfere with Combat, and it being a "bat" fight is no worse than the other baseball bat picks, Batboy and Batdog, especially with the knowledge that Eric ended it with Batters Box.

BurtStanky

I thought Andrew was picking Lucille like Lucille ball and was trying to do a ball and bat thing 😃

Abbie

I think Lucille is on the edge but Mortal Kombat absolutely should have been allowed.

Zaryn Dunn

I had no clue bat is girl and bar is male. I've always just assumed it was bar mitzvah lol.

Logan Phoenix

Geoff does picks that makes himself laugh and I appreciate that because it also makes me laugh

Zaryn Dunn

Lil rickie B with the throw of the year...that last pick is so bland. Close draft, nice bats. I have to go with Gassy on this.

Daniël zandbergen

I gotta go with Baseball Bat, Batmobile (1989), Bat Boy (same as Geoff’s) and the song Battery by Metallica

Joshua Neditch

Lucille absolutely should've been allowed and it's wild that it wasn't. If I ask you to bring me a baseball bat, and you bring me Lucille, I'm looking at you like you're an idiot. And to Geoff's point of "oh well what about Mickey Mantle's bat or Babe Ruth's bat" yada yada yada, those are all just bats. You put those two bats in a bin of other bats, they're all just bats. You put Lucille in there, people know what that is just by looking at it.

DT Hugo

Yall are CRAZY for not allowing Lucille and Mortal Kombat

Nina Kuurasuo

Really upset me Mitzvah was the only lower case one

Archery Contest

This is a Gavin win for me. Solid picks the whole way. Eric was winning until he threw it away with Batters Box. Bat Fight is a terrible pick, Nick's choice of Batwing definition was unhinged, and Geoff's 2nd & 4th picks were meh. The Bat Bomb redeemed one of them though because it's so damn cool.

nick hemley

I relistened, I totally glossed over Bat Boy, you are right that is a really good pick. His Batty Batty Batty pick was terrible, obscure for no reason, and I somehow latched on to that. Lucille is not the same as coffee, a latte is not coffee with a twist. Coffee is an ingredient that is used to make and is the basis of hundreds, if not thousands of drinks in addition to being a drink. You can't go into a coffee shop and order 'coffee' and expect to get a latte. It would be the same as picking Soda and that canceling out Mountain Dew and Pepsi. Lucille is just a unique baseball bat. If you allowed it, then the whole draft could be specific baseball bats.

ViciousWarGoose

Given that the word "bat" in English has been used to describe a piece of wood used for hitting things for almost 400 years before it was used for the animal, I would suggest that "cricket bat" and all the baseball related terms here should be null and void. If anything, they're all things more bat than bat.

Liam Allen

Thats gavs favorite part of the foot

Raty Boy Troy

that would've been super rad...

vibin_psilocybin

Nah

vibin_psilocybin

He is the Heel, that is his whole job.

ViciousWarGoose

Honestly Mortal Kombat would have worked if Andrew could have explained it better, or even knew some actual details other than Scropio and Freeze Man.

ViciousWarGoose

Okay, the Bat Bomb WAS insane, but I disagree with everything else you said! Lol. Geoff had THE Bat Boy!! It's classic Americana- completely unavoidable in popular culture for DECADES, it's been referenced countless of times in tv, movies, probably even music.... Maybe you're not from the US, like Gavin, it makes sense why he'd never heard of it. Also, how is a baseball bat and Lucille not the coffee situation exactly? I'm just curious, because it's a baseball bat with a twist, exactly like coffee and latte, or whichever it was. This was sent with love, btw. Okay, thanks, love you bye 😘 W.A.F.F.L.E.O.

vibin_psilocybin

What's with the British spelling of randomize? Did Gavin create the board?

xXxPissxXxRatxXx

Regulation Algorithm comment! Thanks for all the hard work on these videos/podcasts/streams lads!

Joakim XwIIcK Lundberg

Gotta go Eric for this one, i do thing batters box was 100% his weakest pick, and for synergy purposes in my heart the last slot was the B.A.T. since the box was just for principal. Battalion would also work for synergy that being said Wombat was my favorite indivudal pick.

Matthew Hughes

I was just thinking the other day that while recent drafts have been great, we havent had an unhinged draft like the rocks not rocks draft in a while. This satisfied that need it was hilarious

Kevin Mendez

My black sheep pick was Bat-Mite, the DC comics character. A 5th dimensional imp who is a fan of Batman and is also sometimes an LSD hallucination

Dalton Weakly

Ah that's right - now I'm the one mixing up marsupials

Chaz Surfboard

Mortal Kombat and Lucille both sound like great picks, not sure why they wouldn’t be allowed. Hilarious draft all around

dingdong45

Geoff seems to try and lose these on purpose. His only good pick was the Bat Bomb. Andrew was totally wrong with the Lucille pick, it is not the same situation at the coffee in the drinks draft.

ViciousWarGoose

Batista

dingdong45

From Rocko's Modern Life? He was a Wallaby, not a Wombat.

ViciousWarGoose

Is Andrew thinking of Rocko? He was a wombat

Chaz Surfboard

This was such a great surprise notification!

Brian

I’m on Andrew’s side with the Lucille thing, not because it’s a specific bat but because it’s a character. Lucille is an integral part of Negan’s arc to such an extent that it’s basically a character in the story. To Geoff’s point about then being able to pick Mickey Mantle’s bat et. al., I would say that if Mickey Mantle was famously deluded that his bat was his wife then yeah you could pick Mickey Mantle’s bat because it’s a *super* important bat in the history of baseball.

Ryan Boyce

Eric getting Funhaus flashbacks from James being on Sack Tricks

Chaz Surfboard

My winner on this one is Gavin. Also, he's correct Buoy should be pronounced as Boy, you don't pronounce buoyant and buoyancy as boo-ee-yant and boo-ee-yancy.

John C

Bat Bomb facts: 1. During its first test it burned down the base it was being tested out of including a generals car 2. It was projected to cause more deaths than the Atomic bombs.

Ethan Koch

Back to back drafts, hell yeah!

Secondhand Pope

Thank you for all these drafts ❤️

Rachael's stop frame

No Aqua Bats huh.

Benjamin Garner

There are some comments that I hope no one ever clips for Andrew's sake in this draft

Christopher Vance

They tested the Bat Bomb once and it was devestating, way beyond what they expected.

Randomocity732

5/10 🙂

steve

Battery - the power source (not Batman themed) Battery - a bunch of cannons Battery - beating someone Battle - just to annoy Eric after he said combat

TimShaw19284163519

I think eric should be allowed to pick batters box but only because no one picked a batter which is different than a baseball bat

Alex Watson

Two drafts in a row??? We are so spoiled

Anthony Perez

This one was hard to pick a winner for me. Eric, Andrew and Gavin all had solid picks bar one, Nick started strong and Geoff was Geoff. Thanks for the awesome Monday content gang.

ConorPlays

These drafts are the best content, please keep them coming!

Jacob Clark

This might be the funniest draft overall

RegulationJames(Mtndewed)

Eric won this one. Not just with his picks, but with making a statement. Way to go bud

LZ

Lucille totally counts! Also, any updates on possible GTA Mondays?

TimShaw19284163519

*marsoupial

Colm Lowry

"Strike while the goings good" made me cry laughing. Some great stuff from The MechaNick. Also Gavin absolutely won this draft.

John Samuel

Monday supplemental?!? YES PLEASE!

Russell Richardson

They wouldn’t, as Eric said, a vote determines it. They stated they wouldn’t have allowed it in the drinks draft had they had a vote. Nick got lucky.

LZ

Wait is Bat Child the inspiration for Travis Scott's MAFIA cover???? Damn

Boggin

Realized he shouldve used Battle rather than Combat when Gavin memtions it later on the Bat Fight ruling

Mick 16

Lucille is a modified baseball bat that hits heads, not baseballs. Lucille has deviated so far away from a baseball bat's primary function. I'd allow it. 3 votes to 3.

Kyle Mordan

Gavin absolutely loves to bring up how he pronounces “buoy”. Someone should make a compilation of every time he’s said it.

Daniel Hodder

Surprised no batmobile was picked. I almost feel like it's more iconic than batman

Benjamin Zmyewski

Geoff takes it

Corey Smith

Shocked Gavin didn't follow up the baseball bat conversation with cricket bat

Blues_ Clewes

Is the Bat Signal not a bat? It's a picture of a bat.

Kotacular

My dad's a History teacher and he told me about the batbomb when I was like 10 and he told me the only reason it wasn't more widely used is bc the bats would sometimes awaken while being loaded in and would roost in US military installations (Barricks, messhalls, med tents, jeeps) and cost more in dmgs to US outpost then enemy zones

Kyle Potter

Andrew's Nostrodamus comment at the beginning is so much funnier after listening to that draft, he definitely wants his first pick to happen

Dave Blankenship

Eric once again just stirring the pot for no reason

Raty Boy Troy

Gavin is right. This is batshit.

Jeremy Hixon

"Elasticity Meter...Medium"

Lev

Bæt

Jacob Collier

Best Monday ever

Rachel F

level of difficulty: 3

Pat Duffy

Also Geoff’s counter argument about allowing “______’s bat” doesn’t exactly match the situation with Lucille because: A. Negan’s bat is fictional B. Negan talks to Lucille, and the bat is based off his wife

Justin Allen

I think andrew is correct. Its weird I was totally against the coffee thing but in favor of this one.

James Scott

A rare Regulation Monday video and its a draft? What a way to brighten my day

Nick Hutchison

When Andrew said his first pick was gonna be controversial, I thought he was gonna say “Eric gets divorced”

Alex Watson

koala = marsupial wombat = marsupial andrew = right

Daniel Brown

My mind went straight to Roy Batty from Blade Runner

Eric Williams

I was just thinking last week I'd like some more draft content. Now two drafts, thats good stuff.

NakedZombieWolf

This is pretty rare for me but I’m on Team Andrew with the Lucille pick, I think if you let Nick draft Americano then you gotta let Andrew draft Negan’s bat 😂

Justin Allen

Thank you Andrew.

Ian M

Can't wait for the best Draft draft.

David Vazquez

Love this, love y'all

Charles Walsh

Draft week? Please 👉👈

Ian Morrison

Fuck yeah boys, was just wondering what I was gonna watch at work. Thanks!!

Justin Allen

Another draft? This rules!

Mikhail Davis

I'm looking forward to see what Dan's Friend has to offer this draft

Ezrah

A draft on a monday? thank you so much i needed this!!

Eddie

Really hoping Bruce Wayne could see this
