For those wondering about why the infield fly rule was not imposed on some of these clips: "The rule applies only when there are fewer than two outs, and there is a force play at third base (i.e., when there are runners at first and second base, or the bases are loaded). In these situations, if a fair fly ball is in play, and in the umpire's judgment is catchable by an infielder with ordinary effort, the umpire shall call "infield fly" (or more often, "infield fly, batter is out") and the batter will be out regardless of whether the ball is actually caught." So only having a runner on first isn't enough to bring in the infield fly rule. The only subjective part of this is the "umpire's judgment" part, and I'm assuming that's why the infield fly wasn't called at 5:52. Personally, I think that one should have been an infield fly.
6:33 The bunt for a 2B by Robinson Cano should have been reviewed. He was out for stepping outside the box. It’s the first thing I noticed when I saw this in real time. 🤷🏽♀️
treehuggerkyle ya I know. There was a comment here before where a guy said that the cameraman didn't get faked and didn't know wha Kyle Tyler was talking about. That's why I replied what I did. However that comment must have been deleted
Yup, its games like these that are the most fun to watch, at least for me. The game that is my favorite out of the ones I've attended my team lost, but man they fought like mad to hold the other team and try to catch up. The game that I hate the most... my team won by so much it was like the other team wasn't even there. It was so boring I left at the 5th inning and looked up the game results the next day. My team won... and I wasn't happy they did, that sucks!
There are a couple of plays that I thought were going to be in here that were not... 😢 Specifically a couple of Dustin Pedroia. Like when he danced around the catcher in Tampa Bay to score and when the ball took a luck bounce off of the wall after an over throw and he was there to back it up and throw the runner out! Definitely love the one of his heads up base running though!!:-)
Michael Edenfield play at 5:57 should definitely have been an infield fly rule; there has to be less than two outs and runners on first and second. Umpiring fail
Basically it's to prevent the fielding team from intentionally letting a pop up ball drop in the infield, which would give them the chance for an unfair double or even triple play with 0-1 outs, where all runners are forced (must run to give way for the next base runner)
Question from a former softball player: So, we must tag the runners to consider them out (no "burn" bases like softball)? If so, why it seems that base 1 can be burnt, unlike other bases?
When Abreu threw his 1st baseman's glove to the pitcher, an umpire could have decided that the pitcher was using an illegal glove. The out would have counted, as the only penalty is to remove the glove from play. I don't think that would ever happen, but Angel Hernandez is still employed, and never underestimate him.
on saturday this week my team mate dove under the first baseman as he went for the tag instead of the bag and my team mate ended up being safe and later scored. the first baseman fielded the ball and stood on the line, my team mate stopped and then dove under him and the fielder did nothing but stand there
Innovative Interests if the ball jumped out of the glove in midair he would’ve gotten so much shit, that sounds like something that would happen to me lol
Should add in the Ichiro play where he pretending like he was gonna catch the ball that was definitely going to hit the fence in order to trick the runner into tagging up.for no reason and saved a run.
1991 ALCS, Kirby Puckett swings and strikes out to a ball ridiculously far away, knowing that Pat Borders wouldn't be able to catch it and, therefore, he could reach first easily.
Touching the base is out only if the runner cannot go back to the previous base. EX. First Base, On first base the previous base if home plate and you cannot go on it. In second base, he could go back to first base if needed. EX. That Play (0:58) On double plays where they just touch the base, its still out because there is another runner on first meaning the base is occupied and he can't go back. I hope this helps
9:38 "Molina with a smile" lol he looks pissed

same
PlayerIdentity yes it was. The infield fly rule has been around for a long time.
Jamie Hobbs I think it wasn’t called cause it didn’t go high enough in the opinion of the umps.
First one never gets old
SUPERMAN
@@AstralHunter24 No, it is illegal under HS rules but is legal under ML rules.
3:29 let’s just talk about how fast that guy was running before they tagged him
6:33 The bunt for a 2B by Robinson Cano should have been reviewed. He was out for stepping outside the box. It’s the first thing I noticed when I saw this in real time. 🤷🏽♀️
4:16 fake so good it got the camera man😂
How is he wrong. The cameraman panned to first, yet the guy held the ball. The cameraman got fooled. Idk what you're talking about
@Sam Plautz - That's exactly his point. The guy with the ball fooled everyone, including the cameraman.
treehuggerkyle ya I know. There was a comment here before where a guy said that the cameraman didn't get faked and didn't know wha Kyle Tyler was talking about. That's why I replied what I did. However that comment must have been deleted
“Hacky Sack does pay off!”
Most iconic line ever said by anyone.
lol
Big league ball players know what bases are occupied and when to let the ball drop that kinda stuff makes me smile
3:00 Baez ran like that guy was his arch rival lol, Javey Baez is my favorite cubs player
4:18 lol he even got both cameramen
Great group of highlights. Man I love baseball.
I might start watching it now. I used to hate baseball because I never played it or understood it but damn it looks exciting now lol
9:46 Yadier looks so angry “Really boys? Get it together.”
true
Do behind the back/between the legs/no look plays
Why does none of this happen when I go to a baseball game
Some plays might not even be allowed anymore 🤷 idk but it is funny
This almost always happens in a giants game

You make my day with these videos. You're the most underappreciated channel out there. Keep it up man.
SlightlySauteedLemon stop tryna get him to like ur video
Edit: comment
You go dude
SlightlySauteedLemon trying to make him like your comment not gonna happend bud
Ja zz No it's because I legit like the videos he puts out. I love baseball and he produces high quality highlights
Ja zz I mean, I liked it.
4:44 HAHAHAHA look at him just waiting for him to get his hand off of the plate lol
You know you watch to much baseball when you’ve already seen all these clips 😂
no cap
MEEEEEEEE
That’s me and I’m 11
Yt STORM_KELLER same
There is no such thing as watching to much baseball! 😂
1:29 idk why I was laughing for like 12 straight minutes 🤣🤣 HAKE SACK DOES PAY OFF
ThePandaKing 😂😂
ThePandaKing you did not laugh for 12 minutes straifht
Kevin Getchell hake
Such exciting plays love it
5:13 great team work
Jackie Bradley jr highlights?
these clips make me realize one thing: I have no idea how the infield fly rule works.

@@SanjiEastBlue That's what I thought... but that's exactly what happened in at least one of these clips... ?
@@KutuluMike I think some of these plays happened before the IFR existed
less than two outs, two or more runners on (one must be at first).
Some edits too short to get the full play.
Last time I tried to jump over someone covering the plate I broke my ankle
Bandit • OOF
dont cus
Big ouch,i hope you recovered well

Always nice rewatching all these great vids
Keep up the good work and thanks for the video.
Such quick thinking. ⚾️😊
That first one was just absolutely epic, what a circus move!
Im a mets fan, and im not sure if 9:19 was even intentional. that is how bad my mets are.
4:13 he got the cameraman too lol
Another great vid
did anyone else thought he said something else at 7:17
Does the first one remind anyone else of when Willie Mays Hayes goes over Jack Parkman in Major League II?
What about Mark Buehrle's between the legs flip, after it hit off his leg on opening day from about 8 years ago.
1:40 the ump signals foul, the fielder left the field before catching the ball, so while creative, was null.
9:35 That wasn't a smart play that's fundamentals.
Daevyd Jae the title says smart/lucky so I’m thinking that’s going under the lucky section even it’s fundamentals
Merry Easter
0:47 Thank gawd there was the Dodgers in this vid along with Vin Scully and with another at 1:49!
2:11 red guy: can’t touch dis
5:12 was fucking epic. what a play!!!
Rich Shively watch your language
Kids watch this
You should take the HD out of the titles. Low-qualit 360p clips.
Missing Manny Machado's fake throw (similar to the Fernandez play, but at 3rd) and Mark Buehrle's through-the-legs glove flip.
When Abreu threw his 1st baseman's glove to the pitcher, an umpire could have decided that the pitcher was using an illegal glove. The out would have counted, as the only penalty is to remove the glove from play. I don't think that would ever happen, but Angel Hernandez is still employed, and never underestimate him.
Here's an idea: Best underdogs or most underestimated players.
The first one is so damn good!!😆💪
5:20 is the good old days from when I first became a fan of the royals
NICE PLAYS!!!
These videos make you realize how good the royals were in their prime
I loved that he dived in at the home to get a point. Never seen that at a baseball game, also never seen it in the mlb
That flip proves blue jays are the most creative
First off, tumble. Secondly, no it doesn't.
We stan the padres ! MVP
Imma do this moves on my next softball game 💀
Do you play select softball?
Katherine Lien no, just a normal school league and summer league
Do former teammates facing off (pitcher vs Hitter)
Great vid
Wow! These are some great clips, some I have seen before and many I haven't. I wonder who holds the record for bunt doubles.
My dad is a big blue jay fan he is from Toronto he always talks about that first video
nice vid it was great
Most of these aren't the flashiest plays but really highlight the situational awareness of the players to make nuisanced split-second decisions.
I was expecting this video to be a Simmons/Phillips highlight reel to be honest
Do crazy baseball weather video
1:06 why not use soccer in baseball?😂
This is gonna get a million views
Shoeless Joe Jackson belongs in the Baseball Hall of fame.
just amazing
6:42 That's why you have to run out every hit. Baseball 101
Todas son muy buenas jugadas PERO la del 1:20 es la mejor de todas. Qué buena jugada la de este Picher.
Videos idea- escaped rundowns
They’re on fire
The first one, I think is the best play that I never had seen,
on saturday this week my team mate dove under the first baseman as he went for the tag instead of the bag and my team mate ended up being safe and later scored. the first baseman fielded the ball and stood on the line, my team mate stopped and then dove under him and the fielder did nothing but stand there
these plays are crazy
5:49 he looks like a kid running downstairs on Christmas
El Comedy Rogue maybe 😋
This is thebest video
I wish those smart plays can happen in every baseball game
I already watch Apollo with Tim hanks. I'm good thanks.
Talk about creative 3:41 That has to be the best damn thing I've ever seen.
Innovative Interests if the ball jumped out of the glove in midair he would’ve gotten so much shit, that sounds like something that would happen to me lol
nice clips
Should add in the Ichiro play where he pretending like he was gonna catch the ball that was definitely going to hit the fence in order to trick the runner into tagging up.for no reason and saved a run.
So sick
10:00 I love your videos! tag 😦
I love ❤️ baseball I swear I wished I still played after high school I know in my heart I could have been great
Just became one of my favorite players mlb
Wow!!!!!!!
That dude was a legend at the first one.
He missed 3rd base btw
@@Hamal69 If he missed third base, it is up to the defense to appeal the miss. Absent an appeal, the run scores.
1991 ALCS, Kirby Puckett swings and strikes out to a ball ridiculously far away, knowing that Pat Borders wouldn't be able to catch it and, therefore, he could reach first easily.
These are the best place I’ve ever seen
When the jays were good 😔
The first one was amazing
Legends never die…
2:44 Just bunt it
4:09 would that be obstructing?
no.
Why are the ads always in the worst possible spots? Right towsrds the end of the plays smh
new to baseball so I am wondering why the runner in 0:58 is safe? He wasn't tagged but his opponent touched 2nd base before him
Touching the base is out only if the runner cannot go back to the previous base.
EX. First Base, On first base the previous base if home plate and you cannot go on it.
In second base, he could go back to first base if needed.
EX. That Play (0:58)
On double plays where they just touch the base, its still out because there is another runner on first meaning the base is occupied and he can't go back. I hope this helps
@@yessir2873 I got it now, thanks a lot
Sweet
Pedroia is the smartest player I’ve witnessed
Mom's lawyer told me to act bored at a baseball game and exited at a softball game. I play softball.
2:45 what I’ll never understand is why not bunt down third right here? Easily score one and games over?
this is cool
