The play at 11:00 wasn't a double play he didn't catch the ball, he tagged the runner on first but never touched the bag(and dropped the line drive so how is the batter out out..... Bad call by the first base umpire and announcers!
My guess is that the umpire called it a catch because it was dropped on purpose. And the runner was off the base. If ball is dropped on purpose, batter is still out.
@@erikeisner8282 if you look at the ump, he gave the safe signal after he dropped it. He must have ruled the batter out on the force at first. They used to have a "neighborhood rule" at second base where the fielder could get an out if they were close enough to touching second base when trying to turn two. My best guess is the ump decided to call this the same way.

terrible editing. Cut some of them way too soon, before we actually found out what they officially ruled some of the plays. But other than that, was an awesome video. You get a like from me!
1:14..... how is that a double play? It should be an infield fly rule, thus the batter is out. the runners don't have to advance and would require a tag to be out.
2:01 I would have called the runner safe because the 1st baseman interfered by tripping him. Some of the calls are just poor umpiring which we’ve been seeing for years.
1:05 One out with men on first and second...how does this called an infield fly? 11:45 All those years, all those swings and this ends up defining your career...ouch!
@@erikeisner8282 But for the 3rd baseman overplaying the ball it would have been with ordinary effort. Batter should have been called out as soon as it went up in the infield IMO.
@@timbarter6955 The wind can be a factor that would prevent the infield fly rule being invoked. Apparently no umpire determined the ball could be caught with ordinary effort.
10:59 - Not sure how this ended up getting called but, with only 1 out, the first baseman tagged the runner going to second, but never stepped on first base, nor tagged the runner coming to first base. Anyone know if the umpires ever caught this? Because the Phillies immediately leave the field as though they scored the double-play, but they did not in fact perform a double-play. They only had two outs when they left the field. Did the umpire incorrectly call an infield fly rule? The infield fly rule is only used on pop up hits, not line drives, and that was very definitely a line drive (the announcer even mentions that it was a line drive, right at the first baseman). *Rule 2.00* -- _“a fair fly ball _*_(not including a line drive or a bunt)_*_ which can be caught by an infielder with ordinary effort...yada, yada, yada..."_ The infield fly rule DID NOT apply in this scenario.
The umpires, if they didn’t catch it, will rule the batter out when he abandons running the bases. Depending on the age level or league rules (youth, hs, clg, pro) abandoning tuning the bases can be anything from ‘X feet away from the base path’, to reaching the dugout, etc. The MLB rule book doesn’t specify, it simply says ‘abandoning effort to run the bases’. So it’s umpire judgment which meets that criteria at MLB level.
3:41 The official scoring rule for a batted ball hitting a baserunner should be changed. I do not understand why the batter should be credited with a base hit on a play that an out was instantly recorded; rather, that should be merely a fielder's choice ... what if a pitcher has a no-hitter going? That would really suck to lose a no-hitter on a batted ball that hit a runner.
In high school I hit the ball so hard the ball got stuck in my ball and everyone was look for the ball until the bat boy yell I found it was in number 49's bat so they counted it as home run 😂😂😂😂🤣darn thing I ever done or seen
I think if the baseman trips a runner like that they should give him the base like when a hockey player throws his stick at the puck they give the other team a goal

Wait a minute... If a batter hits a ball and it hits your own teammate that's running to the next base, it's an out??? I don't watch baseball that much but that doesn't seem right.
2:30, Is that Angel Hernandez making the call? Whenever Angel Hernandez makes a call at the plate (or any base for that matter), the actual result is almost always the opposite of whatever Hernandez calls. I watched him make 6 or 7 close calls at (I think) first base once. Those 8 calls were the only calls challenged that day. Every single one of them was overturned. He wasn't correct even once whenever it was a close call. He's quite literally the WORST umpire currently in baseball. He's so bad at it that he makes Joe West look good. If you could clone him, I'd rather have four Joe Wests (behind the plate and calling every single bag), than have even one Angel Hernandez anywhere near the stadium, let alone umpiring a game.
@@JohnDoe-jy7sv The fact that nobody was even close to catching that ball suggests otherwise. Was it a particularly windy day? Something made that play go sideways, and apparently the umpire felt it wasn't routine. And that was Chapman at third, one of the best looking completely lost there.

I really thought that was sparks too because there is a phenomenon that occurs with non metalic materials. They can impact something with such force that it does indeed cause sparks . But that ball would have to be traveling way faster for that to happen. But I too at first thought the same thing before I slowed the video down and zoomed in on it 😆.
@@anthonyfusco8579 pieces of baseball don't disappear moments after impact, those are sparks from the pieces of metal unsoldering and rubbing at insane speeds (please tell me you were kidding)
@@k1dcarson81 That's not the rule either. The batter does not have to get out of the way; he cannot intentionally get in the way. He can stand there and get plunked if he wants.
@@1950Grendel That is the rule.

@1:24 - Another reason why baseball should re-institute the pitch-out for intentional walks.

there can be no obstruction if the fielder has the baseball. So despite it being dirty, it is legal.

1:39 - He actually did hang onto it when he made the catch, he only dropped it when he went to transfer it to his throwing hand. Still out.
The foul tip by Judge should have been an out. The catcher dropped it after trying to take it out if his glove. He controlled it before the transfer.

That Vasquez play at 1:35 ended up costing them the game in my opinion. The next pitch, Judge cleared the bases.
It was on transfer tho
The strike zone was sooo much wider in the 70's and 80's.

Judge struck out.
If you catch a foul tip, leave it in your mitt until the umpire calls the batter out.
Suppose a runner is stealing on the pitch. Do you still suggest the catcher to leave it in his mitt?
