This is the thing about baseball that I love. You can watch it for 50+ years (like I have) and still see things you've never seen before on a fairly regular basis!
@@Garthant I figured that had to be the case, but how did he end up in foul territory before the camera got to him? That's a very strange baserunning path
No, that is not true. It depends on the situation. In this video the runner did not interfere with a play, so there is no interference. If you are standing on second base and a batted ball hits you, you are out.
I have a weird question......sometimes when I see players, both offense and defense, trip, a clod of turf flies into the air. It appears as if the turf gave way, tripping the player. If this is the case, isn't the "error" the environment? Or doesn't it matter what caused the player to trip? (And shouldn't such a thing be fixed?)
The key thing to look at is if an average player would have made the play with ordinary effort. A fielder slipping on loose turf while chasing down a ball may or may not be an error, it depends on whether or not the scorer thinks said hypothetical average player would have also slipped in that situation (is the weather wet, is the turf slippery, is it just in terrible shape, etc...). It may have been out of his control, but life's not fair, he would still get an error. Note that even if the player trips because he's clumsy, the scorer might still rule he couldn't have made a play with ordinary effort and not score an error. Offensive players don't get charged with errors.
Mariners apparently worked hard with Eugenio Suarez on his baserunning. He'll never be a speed merchant...but for the most part is now staying upright on the basepaths. Defensively Geno is excellent at the hot corner.
One of the announcers showing his ignorance in the very first clip. Announcer also wrong at 1:28. How can they not be embarressed for not knowing the rules?
The players in this video were far more incompetent. Why don't casual fans call for fines, suspensions or the player to be fired when they screw up, the same way they call out umpire mistakes?

I love how half of these are just Dee Gordon 💀💀
And Puig

Yeah it’s awesome but I don’t think I watched baseball for 50 years yet😂
1:46 One of the best "What am I supposed to do here?" looks I've ever seen on someone's face.
bro literally stole a base 💀💀
The catcher framing the ball that bounced was great
6:08 Pretty typical of a MLB umpire to call the runner out when not only did the catcher not complete the tag, he didn't even catch the ball.
Yeah, he made the call too quickly but then corrected it. It happens. The umpire was Greg Gibson, one of the best.
@@alanhess9306thought the ump was Angel Hernandez there for a minute. Like how can someone mess up THAT badly if they aren't Angel
@@dirtybird437 That sort of thing happens when the umpire makes the call too quickly. He quickly realized his error and fixed it, there was no harm.
@@dirtybird437 Angel would have stayed with his original call.
To be fair the catcher moved to tag him on instinct and, had he actually caught it, it WOULD have been out lol
Is there a full clip of the Longoria base running play?
Yes. They record all MLB games.
@@danterry8871 ok send a link
@@kyleevans2367 Me? Wish I could help but I don't have it. You might have to do the work on this one.
1:34 what happened in this play? Did the runner turn toward second and we never see it? Because based on what we see the runner should be safe
yes, he turned towards second when he walked back towards first
@@Garthant I figured that had to be the case, but how did he end up in foul territory before the camera got to him? That's a very strange baserunning path
@@Garthant Turning toward second base does not make a runner vulnerable to be put out. Making a move toward second base does.
Maybe the runner missed first base initially. More information than what the video provided is needed.
buen video 👍
Gordon is in a lot of plays
3:48 Ethier(one of my favorites )in the dug out, that video is super old😅
Crazy how many of these are Dee Gordon or the Mets
Was it intentional that you included a lot of Dee STRANGE-Gordon clips in your strange plays compilation or is it just a coincidence?
1:05 was insane
What's insane is how many batter-runners don't do this. It should be automatic when it looks like the first baseman is going to come off the bag.
Good one
Please, show the complete clips. Too many of these don't explain what happened.
thumbnail cake
1:36 How can he tag out a runner at first base who ran through the base?
They made a turn towards 2nd base. Once you commit even a step, you are in play to be tagged out
The editing on all these videos is horrendous - can't tell what the result is for half of the plays
Should have called this “Strange Moments” since they are all Dee Gordon
I was just waiting for the inside the park grand slam
5:25 missile home.
Yep, that one had sum' "hair" on it!.
To my knowledge, it is completely legal to touch the baseball as long as you are on the base.
No, that is not true. It depends on the situation. In this video the runner did not interfere with a play, so there is no interference.
If you are standing on second base and a batted ball hits you, you are out.
9:18 I didn't know it was legal for the ball to go back into fair territory and be called fair
As long as it comes back into fair territory before the Base.
@@ohiosteel1850...and no fielder touched it while it was in foul territory
Supposed to catch the ball not the bat😁😁

Hearing Vin Scully again makes me very happy.

Suarez is tripping a lot. Someone check up on this man please

That was one where it seemed werth was the one going into the fielder not so much the inverse. It also didn’t really look intentional at all.
@@bullshark3771 Intent doesn't matter. The runner was obstructed by a fielder without the ball.
For the same reason you don't feel embarrassed roleplaying as an umpire online, I would guess.
@@icedo1013 Guess again. I've been working HS and Legion ball for over 32 years. I know umpiring far better than you ever will.
Weirdest thing here is Baltimore being the home team in Tampa
Whatever works
Can’t even tell what happened out of context
Sloppy edit
do worst fans
This should be called MLB Incompetent Umpire Moments.

Save it for church. This is a baseball discussion.
