@MANCHESTER UNITED what are you doing? Soccer is genuinely my favorite sport, but I'm confused on what you're trying to do. Are you trying to get people to hate both you and soccer? Because that's all that's going to happen
T - Squared Well, what I was thinking wasn’t the grand slam (though why go through the motion of a fake swing, and having everyone run the bases. They no longer require the international walk require four actual pitches, and they are trying to shorten the game. Just add four runs and move on to the next batter) but there were two instances where the pitcher pitches the ball into the ground. Now with runners on base, that’s usually a balk. The one with the sound guy was not so confusing - he caused the pitcher to get distracted, so - no call. But in another one, there were runners in motion, and we never get to see the outcome after the runner on third reaches home. But all other runners would advance, and I am guessing that’s what happened, but the clip ends at that point, so we don’t see the outcome. The first one, where the batter just freezes, and is out on a called strike, seems less confusing, though it baffled the broadcasters. Some hitters are “guess hitters” (for lack of a better term), by which I mean they tend to guess what kind of pitch is coming. This batter just guessed wrong, and was fooled by the pitch. He knew it, and just headed back to the dugout. Batters get a fraction of a second to decide whether or not to swing. And pitchers obviously are trying to fool them. In this case, the pitcher threw a different pitch than the batter was expecting. And the batter knew it. He froze. Today, pro teams scout each other so closely, using video (from previous games) and even computers to see where opposing hitters strong points and weak points are (high, low, inside, outside). Batters will try to figure out what kind of pitches, and locations, in different circumstances. So the pitcher and batter are each trying to outsmart each other. The pitcher outsmarted the batter in that first clip. The batter just wasn’t expecting that pitch.
I was thinking of the scene in "Major League" where Jake hits the phantom homer in the empty ball park, does the high five with nobody, and Wild Thing and Willie Hayes comment on how far he hit it and what pitch it was.
The last three: The pitcher spiking the pitch, scoring the runner--Even if they got the throw home to tag the runner, he scores. A wild pitch that never reaches the foul line is a balk. The second to last play (Ben Gamel)--simply being in fair territory after overrunning first is not a reason to be called out. It is a judgment call as to whether he actually turned to run to second, versus simply slowing down to go back to first. The last play--the umpire raised his hands and moved them outward in the classic "foul ball" signal prior to pointing fair. He killed the play. In that situation, also, if the ball hit the batter's hands, it's a dead ball strike (no, the hands are NOT part of the bat).
Third play. It's a dead ball for sure but only a strike if an attempt to swing was made. Otherwise it is a hit batsman because, as you correctly said, the hand is never part of the bat. In this example, he was squared to bunt so if the ball hit his hand instead of the bat it would be a dead ball strike.
The second to last one - being in fair territory after you overrun first is very much a... live player i guess you would call it... no judgement call there at all
The last play is clearly a live ball. I will take you thru it step by step. You hear the ball hit the bat, in replays you see the ball hit the bat, not his hand. The ball hits home plate yes, but then rolls fair. (Ellis picks it up in fair territory. The ball may have gone behind the plate at some point, but it never stopped, it went back into the field a play, making it fair) The umpire does make the "foul ball" motion, however, that doesn't automatically "kill the play." He then later makes the fair ball motion and the Dodgers turn the triple play. If anything it looks like he is moving backwords trying to stay out of the way, not to call it foul. Don't blame the Dodgers for actually taking advantage of the fact that NONE of the Padres even try to advance. They just stayed put at their bases. That's THEIR fault. They should have tried to run, cause if it is foul, then they just return to their base anyways no harm. Poor baserunning all around. The ump is a bit at fault. But if he didn't call the play fair, seriously go watch the replay showing it go fair, then the Dodgers would be screwed. Either way, a team was gonna get screwed in that scenario, so getting the play call right on the field should be the priority to salvage the situation, and that's what they did.
@David Riedy Depends on the wording of the rule. I know for softball (I don't do baseball), I would not rule this an attempt to advance. However I think MLB's rules do specify this as an attempt to advance. I recall an issue with Puig and the Dodgers a few years ago similar to this and he was called out.
In the last clip the plate umpire raised his hands in a "where is the ball?" gesture and then raised them again in a "dead ball" gesture. That ball should have been declared dead.
but the home plate umpire signaled dead ball.......twice........go back and watch the play. You can't call dead ball, then penalize the runners for not advancing.
What's funny about 5:19 is there's a few seconds of more confusion right at the end of the clip. There was one out at the start of the play and the batter (Rendon) was safe at first. You can see the umpire call it. After Werth was tagged out, they zoom in on Upton jogging in as if the inning's over, and the graphic even advances to three outs. At the last split second you see Upton pull up, because the umpires were probably signalling to everyone that there were still two outs, and Rendon was safe at first.
There was one unusual triple play some time ago that I cannot find now. All I remember is two of the umpires in that clip (Tim Tschida and Balking Bob - no, he didn’t eject anyone in that clip), and after Tschida went over the play with Davidson and the other umps, he wound up calling three outs on the play - runners on first, third, and home.
As an umpire, I once had to call back a grand slam. The previous play had taken me out from behind home plate, I called time at the end of the play, and as I was getting behind the plate, the pitcher quick-pitched the batter, who crushed the ball well over the fence. But time was still out. I had not yet gotten into position and put the ball in play.
Why tf would you do that. Were you an ump in the majors? You were probably in decent enough position, just hadn’t signaled to the pitcher to pitch yet, am I right? If you were completely off to the side, like even with the batters box, that’d be outta position but if you appeared to be set to the pitcher, and if he starts his motion and you still haven’t said anything, I think at that point you have to let what happened, happen. Otherwise you’ve influenced the game more than what an ump should be able to influence
Okay I think I figured it out. The people running the tv scoreboard thought it was a double play and not a trapped ball. That’s why it went from 1-3 outs. The ump called the batter safe at first. And only tagged the runner. The only player that left the field was the center fielder who trapped it trying to sell it as a catch.
@Kevin L 0:26 Aguilar dawdles heading to third, then tries to score when Rosario misses the ball, and thus can't beat the throw. 1:30 Gonzalez is the only one you acknowledged, but it's the least conspicuous. But, I was thinking of that for sure when I typed my comment. Six seconds after he hit the ball, the camera picked him up just rounding first base. That's slow for an MLB player. He spent half a second watching the hit, then, even though we can't see him, obviously wasn't running as hard as he can. That's loafing. 1:56 Bergman assumes it's foul. A non-loafer runs until the umpire calls "foul ball". Even when he realized he needs to run, he jogged to first. 2:16 Davis running about as slowly as possible. 4:03 Altuve pulls up going to third. He's obviously out, but should run hard and distract the fielder. Coming in to second, Correa is taking is time. And Gattis strolling away when he was safe is an egregious form of loafing. 5:10 I'm sure Josh Harrison was taught that when you swing at strike three and the ball goes to the backstop, don't put your head down and run to first as hard as you can. No, keep turning around checking to see if someone will call it a foul ball so you don't have to expend any extra effort. Right? Did he go to Loafers Baseball Academy? 5:23 I'm sure Werth felt angry at the umpires, but it wouldn't have hurt for him to try to run to second instead of putting his hands on his hips like a petulant girl. Maybe Alonso makes a bad throw.
The red sox yankees clip at 4:57 should have resulted in a double play. Runner was put out at 2nd on the force and then interfered with a throw to first for the double play. By rule a runner put out can't interfere with a play.
Play at 6:11 I get called out on that for looking around to find the ball and being considered a live baserunner off a single trot I'm protesting the game. That's a terrible call
The problem is that the 1st base umpire didn't make a call either way (at least not one we could see). Had he made either an "out" or "safe" call (meaning the fielder either did or did not catch it), then he would have known which was the correct base to throw to. Because there was no call in real time, he had to guess what to do.
Of all the major sports, baseball is the quirkiest one ever. You have a bat which is essentially a stick. You have a little ball. 9 players in the field are wearing big gloves. The offense doesn't control the ball. The defense controls the ball. The other major sports are the opposite on who controls the ball. There are more random and unpredictable things that happen in baseball. Its actually a comical game if you think about it. Ice hockey has alot of unpredictability too, but baseball is a more fun sport to watch in my humble opinion.
if you think about it the last clip the dodgers got 4 outs on that! a quadruple-play! the force at home, one out, then 3rd, two out, then 2nd, three out, and lastly first, four outs. Technically not a real thing still funny to see it. 6:15
None of these were confusing plays. If you are confused just ask and I'll explain. The only one that seemed legit is the play at 6:15 as the umpire put both his hands up and his body language is what is used when the play is dead either from a foul ball or a hit by pitch(basically a stop in play). He then looked down and pointed in fair territory to signal the ball was in play. You can see the head of the runner at 2B stopping and going back when he sees the hands go up. I'm sure the umpire threw his hands up as a "I'm not in the way/getting out of the way" gesture however it should have not been ruled the way it was. I'm not an umpire nor do I have extensive rule knowledge to know what the actual outcome should have been (no pitch/foul ball) but the umps hands went up which signals a stoppage in play, runners should not have been punished. If you are wondering about the guy that swung at no pitch and ran the bases... because he was called out on the play going back to 1B he left the bases... they did the replay and the hit was ruled a HR because it hit the yellow (or above) line. So legally in baseball you must touch all the bases. So they had him go back and start over with his swing and round the bases. In short the ruling was they had to go back and "replay" the at bat and do the corrective course of action.
thegreatcerebral I agree, the runners should not be punished for the ump using wrong sign language and then reversing his own calls. The ump should be punished for mis-use of sign language and do 100 push-ups. 🤣
Alex Pauli the first clip... I don’t know the history of that play but it looks like the batter was pissed at something and he did that as a way to show his unhappiness with either the strikezone or something that happened. That’s all I can come up with considering we don’t know the history.
"confusion as the umpires take a long time to make the call" You're a top level MLB player. Play like you're still in it until someone tells you you're not. Players milling around scratching their asses until someone says "wtf are you doing, go!" is ridiculous.
You mean a balk? A balk can only occur when there are baserunners. An illegal pitch with no baserunners would be called a ball. However, the pitch has to cross the foul line for it to be a ball and that one clearly never did.
After he ran through the bag, he turned left into fair territory. You are only safe if you turn towards foul territory after running through the bag; if you turn left/fair, then you are an active base runner (possibly heading to second base).
@@AndyLundeen, no that is wrong. A runner may turn left into fair territory as long as he returns immediately to first base and doesn't make a motion to advance to second. In the umpire's judgement, he made a move to second base.
@@alanhess9306 That is the key part of the ruling. In the umpires judgment. I personally would not have ruled that intent to advance to second, but I also can't hear what was said by the coach right near him along with the runners actions on the play.
What's confusing is why I just wasted six minutes. (P.S. If you want to see the whole video re: Morse home run, check it out on RUclips. It's on plenty of channels, just not this one.)
Ya know why plays like that happen today. Ball players forget their basic baseball fundamentals if they actually new them at all. The fact players aren’t paying attention to the progress of the game their playing in, is amazing to me. Isn’t that’s what their being paid millions of dollars for???
Are you asking why he's out? You can run through first and not be able to be tagged out but only if you run through on the right side of the foul line. Because he turned to the left towards 2nd base he's able to get tagged out even if he goes back into fould territory
@@specialtrades12 That is not true. It is permissible to turn left as long as you don't make a motion toward second base. The runner does not have to run on the right side of the foul line when he over runs first base.
@@Benthewall-vb9ny He's saying from the perspective of the runner after he turned around, the direction of foul territory was to his left. First thing is the runner turned right towards foul territory after veering two steps in the direction of second base. Parker believes that the direction a runner turns after overrunning first is an indication of his intent, however, this is actually a misconception of the rule . "Rule: 7.08(c and j) Official Baseball Rules". There is nothing in the rule book that defines a runner's intent to advance towards second after overrunning first, it's left to the umpires discretion. I guess the umpire took him veering a few feet to the left after chopping his feet to stop as intent. I don't see it though. yes, he veered but never planted or pivoted towards second base.
@@myapatton4119 That's not how it works. That's a myth. The runner is allowed to overrun first base without being at risk to be put out EXCEPT if he makes an attempt at second base, which he was judged to have done here.
I was confused at first too because I assumed the batter hit it, but he actually swings and misses completely. Since it was a strikeout and a wild pitch he can run to first and they have to throw him out to complete the strikeout.
@@aydanmunson5111 The ball hitting the ground is irrelevant. The pitch did not hit the bat or it would have been a foul ball. It was an uncaught third strike.
NedNed Ned the batter hit the ball. It rolled fair and the catcher dropped the ball trying to tag the batter out. He picked it up and threw it passed the first baseman. The runner from second scored to win the game.

4:04 actually made me laugh lmao Gattis thought there was 3 outs and he’s just running back to the dugout casually 😂😂

It’s a good video, but some of the clips are not long enough to show how the confusion was resolved.
Eg: the clip at 0:56
Kevin L I think that he means that they never explained why it was a home run or why he took the extra swing
So ur telling me the confusion is a little bit confusing
Maybe another video,not sure,crazy

The only one that seemed legit is the play at 6:15 as the umpire put both his hands up and his body language is what is used when the play is dead either from a foul ball or a hit by pitch(basically a stop in play). He then looked down and pointed in fair territory to signal the ball was in play. You can see the head of the runner at 2B stopping and going back when he sees the hands go up. I'm sure the umpire threw his hands up as a "I'm not in the way/getting out of the way" gesture however it should have not been ruled the way it was. I'm not an umpire nor do I have extensive rule knowledge to know what the actual outcome should have been (no pitch/foul ball) but the umps hands went up which signals a stoppage in play, runners should not have been punished.
If you are wondering about the guy that swung at no pitch and ran the bases... because he was called out on the play going back to 1B he left the bases... they did the replay and the hit was ruled a HR because it hit the yellow (or above) line. So legally in baseball you must touch all the bases. So they had him go back and start over with his swing and round the bases. In short the ruling was they had to go back and "replay" the at bat and do the corrective course of action.

I agree, the runners should not be punished for the ump using wrong sign language and then reversing his own calls.
The ump should be punished for mis-use of sign language and do 100 push-ups. 🤣
thegreatcerebral what was the point of the very first clip? i’m baffled sorry 😂
Alex Pauli the first clip... I don’t know the history of that play but it looks like the batter was pissed at something and he did that as a way to show his unhappiness with either the strikezone or something that happened.
That’s all I can come up with considering we don’t know the history.
"confusion as the umpires take a long time to make the call"
You're a top level MLB player. Play like you're still in it until someone tells you you're not. Players milling around scratching their asses until someone says "wtf are you doing, go!" is ridiculous.
Settle down tough guy.
Dude there’s a person in the tarp
That first example almost looked like a ball.. not a strike
You're kidding right? The ball was clearly over the plate well above the knees.
At 1:13 is what we do in practice in 10u and I'm number 39 one way from being 38❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
4:27 Wouldn't this have been a Bulk pitch.
You mean a balk? A balk can only occur when there are baserunners. An illegal pitch with no baserunners would be called a ball. However, the pitch has to cross the foul line for it to be a ball and that one clearly never did.
Because of the noise, there was no balk called and there were no runners on base so it is called no pitch anyway.
What's up with 6:03? Why was he able to be tagged after getting safely to first base?
After he ran through the bag, he turned left into fair territory. You are only safe if you turn towards foul territory after running through the bag; if you turn left/fair, then you are an active base runner (possibly heading to second base).
@@AndyLundeen, no that is wrong. A runner may turn left into fair territory as long as he returns immediately to first base and doesn't make a motion to advance to second. In the umpire's judgement, he made a move to second base.
Is that so? Haven’t checked the rules explicitly; thanks for being more correct and precise then!
@@alanhess9306 That is the key part of the ruling. In the umpires judgment. I personally would not have ruled that intent to advance to second, but I also can't hear what was said by the coach right near him along with the runners actions on the play.

1:15 watch the catcher

What's confusing is why I just wasted six minutes. (P.S. If you want to see the whole video re: Morse home run, check it out on RUclips. It's on plenty of channels, just not this one.)
He took the pitch that was a changup down the middle
So it’s just the umps that are confused?
Ya know why plays like that happen today. Ball players forget their basic baseball fundamentals if they actually new them at all. The fact players aren’t paying attention to the progress of the game their playing in, is amazing to me. Isn’t that’s what their being paid millions of dollars for???
What happened at 6:02?
Runner turned toward second, making him now liable to be tagged out as he is now considered "between the bases".
I love baseball
MLB에도 행복수비가 있구나
What cho talkin' bout Willis.
Catcher*
@0:04 um... WTH is he looking at the ball???
Shortest challenges and longest challenges ever
( how long the umps had the headphones on)
why are they confusing?
1:40 What in the all mighty fuck is everyone doing.
what happened in the SEA - LAA game at like 6:10
Are you asking why he's out? You can run through first and not be able to be tagged out but only if you run through on the right side of the foul line. Because he turned to the left towards 2nd base he's able to get tagged out even if he goes back into fould territory
@@specialtrades12 That is not true. It is permissible to turn left as long as you don't make a motion toward second base. The runner does not have to run on the right side of the foul line when he over runs first base.
I wasn't confused once.
Where was the confusion?
6:05 ben gamel was safe because gage turned left into the the foul territory
Parker Landrum what???
He turned left into fair territory
@@Benthewall-vb9ny He's saying from the perspective of the runner after he turned around, the direction of foul territory was to his left. First thing is the runner turned right towards foul territory after veering two steps in the direction of second base. Parker believes that the direction a runner turns after overrunning first is an indication of his intent, however, this is actually a misconception of the rule . "Rule: 7.08(c and j)
Official Baseball Rules". There is nothing in the rule book that defines a runner's intent to advance towards second after overrunning first, it's left to the umpires discretion. I guess the umpire took him veering a few feet to the left after chopping his feet to stop as intent. I don't see it though. yes, he veered but never planted or pivoted towards second base.
No he turned left so now he is able to be tagged
@@myapatton4119 That's not how it works. That's a myth. The runner is allowed to overrun first base without being at risk to be put out EXCEPT if he makes an attempt at second base, which he was judged to have done here.
how you get hit by a ball and the ball is live on the last clip...someone shoulda been fired there.
The batter did not get hit. The pitch hit the bat.
If Morse called his shot tho
you spelled gattis wrong
Why at 5:10 was it not foul?
CHAD I think it isn’t because the ball never hit the ground before it was caught, it hit the wall, bounced up, and was caught
I was confused at first too because I assumed the batter hit it, but he actually swings and misses completely. Since it was a strikeout and a wild pitch he can run to first and they have to throw him out to complete the strikeout.
@@aydanmunson5111 The ball hitting the ground is irrelevant. The pitch did not hit the bat or it would have been a foul ball. It was an uncaught third strike.
What happen in 2:00
I join the question
NedNed Ned the batter hit the ball. It rolled fair and the catcher dropped the ball trying to tag the batter out. He picked it up and threw it passed the first baseman. The runner from second scored to win the game.
