The infield fly rule with Bonds isn’t a bad call. The batter is out automatically but the runners can advance at their own risk. Nobody tagged Bonds and it isn’t a force play.
0:38 that's the correct call, Reyes has the right to the bag, not Lawrie, and since Reyes wasn't on the bag neither of them were safe Edit: AND 1:54 the infield fly rule
Water is wet 05 reyes wasn’t on the bag tho don’t matter about rights to bag that play is the same as getting caught in middle of baseline tagged out does that mean runner can’t advance no
@@beastm0de51 No, as long as Reyes was a baserunner and wasn't out/scored then Lawrie couldn't advance to third, I don't make the rules that's just how they are
Water is wet 05 you just countered yourself he was out so rights to third change to runner that’s not out as long as there isn’t 2 runners on the bag whoever is on is safe so in the case Reyes wasn’t on it so that means he’s out but runner on third isn’t
@@beastm0de51 you are almost correct, I admit, I had to watch the video again after reading that, and nope you're wrong, Lawrie was tagged first, while Reyes was still a runner and had rights to third base
Water is wet 05 it don’t matter if he was tagged first tho because dude was off the base ok let me say this let’s say dude gets in pickle guy from second comes to 3rd are u saying that you can just throw to third then tag and he’s out even tho he’s on base then tag dude that was originally in pickle if that was a thing no team would send the guy from second over
The infield fly where the runner scored is the correct call. Yes the batter is out. But because they didn’t catch the ball the runner from 3rd does not have to tag. He is safe.
I don't think that was the expos argument. See the way the player steps on home, I think he thought it was a force out. Either way, whichever argument they had, they were wrong. Call was indeed 100% correct.
@@colmmarron4132 Yea, they did think it was a force...but as noted in the video, the runner could choose not to advance...so a tag was necessary to get him out.

Rules checks: 00:06 The question here is whether the bat came in contact with the ball. A swing and a miss could be the third strike, and because it was uncaught, the batter could try for first base. If the bat made contact with the ball and the ball was not caught (foul tip), it would be a foul ball and could not be the third strike. The home plate umpire, by raising both hands, ruled that the latter was the case. 00:37 No runner was forced to advance in this case, so rule 5.06(a)(1) provides that the preceding runner is entitled to occupy third base. If both runners were touching the bag, rule 5.06(a)(2) is unambiguous in providing that the following runner would be out when tagged. But here the following runner was touching the bag, but the preceding runner was not, so 5.06(a)(2) did not apply. Also note that the preceding runner was tagged first. The question is whether the following runner can "bump off" the preceding runner by touching the bag without the preceding runner on the bag. Rule 5.06(a)(1) implies in the negative, but there is some ambiguity due to the presence of rule 5.06(a)(2). 01:17 If the runner came off the bag and was tagged while off the bag, he would be out. The question is whether that happened. 01:53 "Infield fly, if fair" was called, meaning that if the ball ended up fair, the batter would be out immediately, but the ball would remain live and runners may advance at their own risk, or they may remain on their base. Since the batter would be out, no runner would be forced to advance. The ball did end up fair, so the infield fly rule was in effect, and because the ball was dropped, runners were not required to tag up. Also remember that there were no force plays in order, so a fielder tagging home plate with the ball did nothing. Because the runner came home and touched home plate, he scored. 02:29 The lower bound of the strike zone is at the "hollow beneath the kneecap". Pitches below this point cannot be called strikes if not swung on. 02:46 On a swinging strike for strike three, if the pitch was caught by the catcher, the batter would be out immediately. If the pitch was not caught (unless there were less than two out and first base was occupied), the batter would become a runner and would be allowed to try for first base. The question here is whether the pitch was caught, and the home plate umpire ruled in the negative. As a result, the batter reached first, and the inning continued. 03:39 Similar to 02:29 above, but the pitch here appears to be in the strike zone. 03:47 If a batted ball hits the batter while he is still in the batter's box, it is a foul ball. The question here is whether the batted ball hit the batter's foot. 04:09 Same as 02:29 above. 04:24 It seems that the umpire did not see the ball going in the first baseman's glove or the first baseman tagging first base. After the umpires discussed the play, they ruled that both had happened and the batter was out as a result. 04:48 Where the batter swings with two strikes, the bat made contact with the pitch, and the ball goes straight back, if the ball "goes sharp and direct from the bat to the catcher’s hands and is legally caught", it is a foul tip, which can be the third strike. If the ball is not caught, it is a foul ball, which cannot be the third strike. The question here is whether the ball was caught. The rule provides that "[i]n establishing the validity of the catch, the fielder shall hold the ball long enough to prove that he has complete control of the ball and that his release of the ball is voluntary and intentional. If the fielder has made the catch and drops the ball while in the act of making a throw following the catch, the ball shall be adjudged to have been caught." The catcher dropped the ball at one point, but has he held the ball "long enough to prove that he has complete control of the ball" and did the drop occur during the transfer (from the glove to the throwing hand)? If either question is in the affirmative, it is a catch and the batter is out. If both are answered in the negative, it is not a catch and batter is not out. 05:30 A tag requires the fielder to hold on to the ball after the tag. Similar to catches, "the fielder shall hold the ball long enough to prove that he has complete control of the ball. If the fielder has made a tag and drops the ball while in the act of making a throw following the tag, the tag shall be adjudged to have been made." It appears that the runner knocked the ball out of the fielder's glove, so the fielder failed to hold on to the ball and it was not a tag. 06:19 Similar to 02:46 above. 06:48 For a tag on a runner to be valid, it must be made with the same hand that holds the glove. Here the fielder tagged the batter-runner with his throwing hand, but the ball was in his glove. Therefore, it was not a tag. 07:19 The question here is whether the batter swung. The home plate umpire called a swing, but in close check-swing situations the base umpire in the opposite side from the batter would have a better view. There is no hard and fast rule as to what counts as a swing and what is not a swing. 07:40 Similar to 00:06 above, but here if the batter missed the ball, because there were two outs, the batter would become a runner and all runners would be forced to advance. As a result, the catcher needed only tag home plate to force out the runner from third base for the third out, which is precisely what the catcher did. 08:08 A runner oversliding the bag is not automatically out; he must be tagged while off the base to be out. The question here is whether a tag was made while the runner was off the bag. 08:41 Ejecting a player for objecting to an umpire's call is up to the umpire's judgement under rule 8.01(d). The question here is whether throwing the bat towards home plate constitutes an ejectable offense. 08:50 Similar to 08:41 above, the question is whether the player's action constitutes an ejectable offense. 09:08 Similar to 04:48 above, but here the question is whether the ball bounced on the ground before going to the catcher's glove. If so, it would not be a foul tip and not a third strike. 09:34 Similar to 00:06 above, but here the umpire ruled that the bat did not contact the ball, which it clearly did. This should have been a foul ball. 09:59 On a walk, a runner can try for a base to which he is not forced on his own risk as long as the ball is live. The question here is whether the runner reached third base before being tagged. 10:35 Same as 02:29 and 08:41 above.
Andrew McNicoll so due to the infield fly rule the batter is automatically out. The runners then advance at their own risk and due to the ball being dropped, the runners do not need to tag up before advancing. The expos were arguing for a force out as bases were loaded but there was no force out available due to Bonds being out on the infield fly rule. Hope that helps

@@M_M0109 As the announcer said, "Lawrie has to get off the base." The MLB just made a video on unwritten rules and this was one of them. Lawrie could have gone back to second at that point and been safe. He didn't have the right-away. If Reyes stayed on the bag, just Lawrie would have been out. The only way he wouldn't have been out is if Reyes ran home, or Lawrie went to second.
@@ryanp.5051 Using an announcer as a rules reference is definitely the wrong way to go. The only way Lawrie is out in this situation is if he is tagged while both he and Reyes are on the bag at the same time, which clearly is not the case here. The key phrase is "on the bag at the same time".
A number of these aren't bad calls. They're either the correct call, or calls that are pretty easy to get wrong in real time from the angle the umpire is looking at it, and even some of those were overturned by review. There have been countless worse calls than almost 3/4 of these.....
Marc anderson lmfao, what are you on about? I didn’t say that, clearly. Even if I did call him that, it would be a bad start to a trade off for this guy making his 20th copyright video attempting to sh*t all over an entire profession while having absolutely no clue on what he’s talking about or looking for himself.
At 1:00, I disagree with the ump’s call. I’d like to hear what you all think. Here’s my thought, and I admit with limited knowledge on rules associated with two runners on same base. My understanding: When two runners are on the same base (at the same time), lead runner has priority so is considered to occupy the base legit. Following runner is considered not touching a base bag, even if he is physically touching that base bag. Here what happened: during the run down, lead runner had no idea his following runner was coming to 3rd. The lead runner rushes back to 3rd seeking safety, touches his hand on the base bag. Immediately he realizes what happened: his team mate ran up to 3rd base and is standing on the bag. Lead runner decides to sacrifice himself so removes his hand from base bag. At this instant, no more “two runners on same base”. The lead runner is now technically not on base bag, and is in between 3rd & home. NOW the defense tags the following runner standing on the base bag. This tag has no effect. Because at the moment of that tag, that runner was the ONLY runner on that base bag. So the follow-runner is safe, not out. Defense then tags the lead runner. Lead runner not touching base bag. Lead runner is legit out. This is not a double play. Ump made the wrong call. Again, that’s my interpretation based on understanding of the “two runners on base bag AT THE SAME TIME” rule. Your thoughts?
You're absolutely right, with one minor clarification, when two runners are on the same base the lead runner has priority, unless he is forced. For example, runners at first and second and a grounder to the shortstop. The runner at second decides not to run to 3rd because he might get tagged out, so he stays on 2nd. The runner that was on first gets to 2nd because he was forced by the batter-runner. The runner going from 1st to 2nd now has priority since the runner at 2nd was forced to go to 3rd.
I disagree, the lead runner has priority to the bag. Since the trail runner came to the bag, he got tagged and is out. The lead runner went off the bag so he is out. If you see he actually tagged the trail runner first. I think it was correct.
Regarding the 2nd play shown, with the run down: The lead runner that originally occupied 3rd base , came off the base.. was not on the base, so the preceding runner was allowed to be there until the lead runner gets back on the base. However, the original lead runner at 3rd base never went back on the base and as he was off the base he was tagged out. So he should be out and that should be the only out. Tagging the preceding runner while on base is not an out, again, because the original lead runner was not on the base and was also put out first. there should only be one out made on that play.
But he tagged the behind runner first so he’s out then the lead runner was off the bag so when he’s tagged he’s out, not questioning you just letting you know that’s how the book says it
@@tsmxlirics_1942 The trail runner would only be out if both runners were in contact with the base. That didn't happen. There is no reason Lawrie would be out.
1:52 Just because the defense didn't know the rules doesn't make this an awful call. It was the correct call. 2:45 I'm a lifelong White Sox fan, and even I know this was a pretty bad call. I mean, I love AJ, but he was a pretty archetypal high baseball IQ guy that liked to bend situations his way like this. He's the catcher who talks trash while you're in the box. His thinking was to take off and make the umpire question whether the ball was dropped or caught. Catcher's glove is in the dirt, so it's easy to see why he would think the ball was in the dirt, too. Still, AJ is a catcher, and he knew well and good that ball was caught before he took off running.
Im so confused. Kind of new to baseball and don’t fully understand. I thought the runner from 3rd was out because the catcher was given the ball and stepped on home base. I always thought this was immediately an out. What allowed him to keep running and get to home safe if the catcher had already touched base with the ball in hand? Sorry I’m just trying to understand this rule cause now I’m really curious.
@@lizvargas9905 Since the batter was called out on an infield fly rule there was no force out because nobody had to advance. For him to be out from third on this play they would have had to tag him out.
Regarding the infield fly rule called at 1:56, I see several comments saying the runner from 3rd base does not need to tag-up (go back to 3rd base and step on 3rd base), which is completely irrelevant. What is relevant is that the batter-runner was called out very quickly according to the infield fly rule so the other runners are not forced to advance; therefore a force out cannot be made on any of the other runners. To get any of the other runners out, somebody from the other team needs to tag (touch) one of the other runners with either the ball in hand or ball in glove, which did not happen. The home plate umpire made the correct call on both infield fly rule (batter-runner Bonds) out and the runner from 3rd (Perez) safe at home.
Bonds not needing to tag up actually is relevant. He did not, which is why he was safe. If they made the catch, he would have had to tag up, even after the batter was called out.
I was telling my son that some of these baseball missed calls, especially the strikes, or non strikes, are kind of misleading. We haven't seen the whole game to see what Blue's strike zone is. But still, a blatant bad call is still a bad call.
@@steveswangler6373 Of course not, Steve, but the short clips we see of Blue's calls might not be indicative of how his strike zone is that given day. I'm a Blue Jays fan, how about you, who is your team ? 🇨🇦⚾️⚾️🇨🇦
@@Its_jdubb_ AJ Pierzynski came off the base and was out at 8:14. The balls and strikes are hard to argue though also because they drop from in the zone to out of the zone. We have the benefit of the K-zone to show you where it crossed the front of the plate, If it dropped 3-4 inches early, it's easy to say how obvious it is, but in real time without the k-zone, you'd have no idea if it was a strike or not. Those aren't awful, just difficult judgment calls which are made to look like they are easy calls due to the k-zone and slowmo replay.
@@robertdouth8979 THis and the infield fly were both definitely correct calls. People think they can make a better call from hundreds of feet away than an ump with the best seat in the house lmao.
The play with the Expos and Giants with the infield fly rule is the right call. The runner is safe because once the infield fly rule is called the force out is eliminated from the play.
Now... Anyone who hits a home run off Burnette has EVERY RIGHT to stay at the play and watch it fly over the fence. If a pitcher can punch an out... batters can watch and relish over homers.
1:48 I think the umpire called him out because the heel of the foot motion upwards and because he didn’t have good angle he assumed his foot came off the bag
You’re probably right, but since he had a bad angle he shouldn’t have made the call. If you don’t see it (or hear it in certain cases) you can’t assume that something happened, especially in the age of review, where if you missed something it’ll get overturned.
2nd clip is correct. The runner going back to the bag "owns" that bag, he wasn't on base and was tagged so he is out, the other runner cannot occupy that base therefore he is out.
@@clintfowler3856 It's still the lead runner's base. That's why they tagged the other guy first. If they tagged the lead runner first, the guy from 2nd would be entitled to take 3rd, and he'd be safe.
@@almostfm You missed the rule that says the trail runner would only be out if two runners are touching the same base. This was the wrong call, Lawrie should not be out.
The infield fly rule clip was the correct call. The batter is immediately out because of the infield fly, removing all force plays. Since the pop-up was not caught, the runners do not need to tag up, and since there was no force play, you must tag the runner, not just step on home plate.
Of all the truly awful calls that have been made in the past decade alone, none were included in this video. If anything, this shows how hard it is to be an umpire, especially at the pro level. On the bases, it’s pretty hard to get a perfect angle to see the whole play without missing any important parts while players are going all out to touch the base/ make the tag. Behind the plate, it’s near impossible to make the right call on every pitch/swing when you’re dealing with fastballs that top out well over 100mph and breaking balls that defy the laws of physics, with a huge blind spot on any ball that ends up below the catchers knees. Umpires are human, they make mistakes sometimes, but their truly awful calls come when they let their egos best them and make the games about themselves.
Some of these were right. The Lawrie incident was correct since Lawrie was tagged BEFORE Reyes, WHILE Reyes still had the right to the bag. The infield fly rule at 1:54 is also correct.
Worse call in baseball not letting Pete Rose in the HOF how much longer are they the commissioners of baseball going to punish the hit king of baseball
4:54 Time for me to be unbiased with my umpiring knowledge. There are 3 things that contribute to a catch; Secure possession, transfer and intentional release. Yes the catcher caught the ball, but he did not intentionally release the ball, therefore not having secure possession either. Before you guys come at my throat in the replies, don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger. I'll be more than happy to answer the questions.
baseballrebels reyes touches the base and got off, giving him the entitlement to the bag, therefor lawrie getting tagged is called out, then reyes was tagged off the bag so he gets called out. if reyes was tagged out first, lawrie would be called safe
I'm an umpire. He made the correct call. Reyes did touch the base and he's the lead runner, which if he STAYED ON THE BAG, he would have been safe, since he got off the bag, he's no longer entitled, so BOTH ARE OUT.
@@alecdeen8084 Since Reyes had not yet scored or been put out, third base was still legally his. As such, Lawrie could not possess third, so his current base was still second, regardless of what base he was actually touching. Since he was not touching second when he was tagged, he was out. If Reyes had been tagged first, then Lawrie would have gained possession of third, and been safe when tagged. But Lawrie was tagged first.
@@HarrisonSoper Go play baseball, and stay ignorant. One of the many things I've learned after 34 years of umpiring is that players do not know the rules very well. You are proof of that because several of these were correct calls.
So I'd say 1/3 of these were actually the right call, 1/3 of these you can't even tell what the call was because the editing is so bad, and 1/3 are the wrong call (but most are close enough that you can't call them "awful")
0:39 This was the right call. Lead runner gets the bag, so the catcher tagged the second runner. Then the catcher was free to tag the lead runner after he went off the bag.
4:25 Where's the awful call? Great job by the crew here. The umpire had a brain fart, knew he screwed up, then they conferenced and made the right call.
2:00 was not a bad call. If the fly rule was in play it's not a force out at home. The batter was already out so the runners don't have to move. Since the ball was not caught he did not have to tag up either.
really hate to admit it, but Angel might be right on this one 8:15 . Perzynski's left hand hits the Mariners glove as he is reaching back to touch second base. he is out ONLY if his right foot is not on the bag which i cant tell. Looks like his right foot is still on the bag. (i cant stand Angel Hernandez BTW)
@4:10 (Houston Astrisks) White wasn’t looking back at the dugout because a ball was called a strike... he was looking at the dugout wondering where his trash can bangings where!
I hate to admit but the 2nd clip is actually correct. Lawrie has to get off the base cuz it’s Reyes’ base and that’s when he gets off the bag so it’s a double play
No it is not correct. Lawrie could only be called out when both runners are touching the base. Reyes was not on the base when Lawrie was tagged. Lawrie should not have been called out.
I cant stand how little the tv guys know....SORRY Tim, its not how long you have it...the ball must survive the transfer...a bunch of these were the right calls....learn the rules
That 2nd one wasn't an awful call. It was the correct one. Runner from 2nd is out because the runner on 3rd went out, and you can't have two people occupy the same base, so the runner who was already on it "owns" the base. And the runner from 3rd was out because AFTER the runner from 2nd was tagged out, the runner from 3rd wasn't on the bag so he was tagged out.
@@direcorbie No, he is not wrong. He knows the rule, you don't and every comment you have made about this play is wrong. You can't seem to understand the part of the rule that says "if, while the ball is alive, two runners are touching a base, the following runner shall be out when tagged".
@LemonStir I understand the rule very well. Vyselink is wrong. Lawrie was tagged while he was the only runner on the base. He is safe. Reyes was tagged when he was off the base. He is out. There is no reason Lawrie would be out. Announcers were completely wrong
My boy.... I/we appreciate the videos n uploads definitely, but seeing what the final ruling is on some of these is half of the enjoyment. Include em next time if possible. And if I'm alone in that sentiment, by all means disregard my nonsense.
The second clips call is actually correct. A good way to describe it is as if lower wasn’t standing on a bag at all because the person who was originally on the bag has priority he then was tagged and because the other runner was not on the bag and was tagged he too was out
The run down with the 2 players at third is the correct call. The player that was off the base has the right to the base. The one who is on the bag has a right to second base but not third. If he tagged the guy off the base first then third base would be open and only 1 out would have been called.
@@clintfowler3856 the ruling was Reyes went back past 3rd base even though he didn't go towards 2nd so Lowrie passed him so he was tagged out first even though he was on the bag.
It's not the right call though. Although this play should result in an out, he calls the incorrect out. Umpire is calling a strikeout and catch. Even though the catcher does the right thing and tags home for the force, the ump missed that call. So not only did this ump get one call wrong, he got two wrong in mere seconds!!
@@TehGamesaver It is absolutely the correct call. The catcher did not catch the pitch, so the runner can attempt to advance which ends up being a force play at the plate.
Some of these are awful calls; some are actually the correct call; and most are just close calls that the umpire ended up being wrong on when reviewed on replay
0:38 is the right call - Reyes is on their when Lawrie gets tag also on third. The rule is if two players are in the same base, who ever originally occupied it is safe. At that point, Lawrie is out and eliminated from the play. Then Reyes comes off the bag and is tagged out.
Reyes was not on the base. He would still be considered as not on it when lawrie is tagged. Therefore Lawrie is safe and reyes is out not both of them a\are out
2:30 is the right call. they didn’t catch the ball meaning he doesn’t have to tag up. infield fly does not relieve you of a tag up, but since it wasn’t caught he was good touching home
Goddamn dude I used this video to learn how this game works and now I have bunch of angry parents calling me with death threats. This video has ruined my life.
The infield fly rule with Bonds isn’t a bad call. The batter is out automatically but the runners can advance at their own risk. Nobody tagged Bonds and it isn’t a force play.

The infield fly where the runner scored is the correct call. Yes the batter is out. But because they didn’t catch the ball the runner from 3rd does not have to tag. He is safe.

@@wofoky24 Angel hernandez got the call at 8:14 right though. AJ came off the bag
Rules checks:
00:06 The question here is whether the bat came in contact with the ball. A swing and a miss could be the third strike, and because it was uncaught, the batter could try for first base. If the bat made contact with the ball and the ball was not caught (foul tip), it would be a foul ball and could not be the third strike. The home plate umpire, by raising both hands, ruled that the latter was the case.
00:37 No runner was forced to advance in this case, so rule 5.06(a)(1) provides that the preceding runner is entitled to occupy third base. If both runners were touching the bag, rule 5.06(a)(2) is unambiguous in providing that the following runner would be out when tagged. But here the following runner was touching the bag, but the preceding runner was not, so 5.06(a)(2) did not apply. Also note that the preceding runner was tagged first. The question is whether the following runner can "bump off" the preceding runner by touching the bag without the preceding runner on the bag. Rule 5.06(a)(1) implies in the negative, but there is some ambiguity due to the presence of rule 5.06(a)(2).
01:17 If the runner came off the bag and was tagged while off the bag, he would be out. The question is whether that happened.
01:53 "Infield fly, if fair" was called, meaning that if the ball ended up fair, the batter would be out immediately, but the ball would remain live and runners may advance at their own risk, or they may remain on their base. Since the batter would be out, no runner would be forced to advance. The ball did end up fair, so the infield fly rule was in effect, and because the ball was dropped, runners were not required to tag up. Also remember that there were no force plays in order, so a fielder tagging home plate with the ball did nothing. Because the runner came home and touched home plate, he scored.
02:29 The lower bound of the strike zone is at the "hollow beneath the kneecap". Pitches below this point cannot be called strikes if not swung on.
02:46 On a swinging strike for strike three, if the pitch was caught by the catcher, the batter would be out immediately. If the pitch was not caught (unless there were less than two out and first base was occupied), the batter would become a runner and would be allowed to try for first base. The question here is whether the pitch was caught, and the home plate umpire ruled in the negative. As a result, the batter reached first, and the inning continued.
03:39 Similar to 02:29 above, but the pitch here appears to be in the strike zone.
03:47 If a batted ball hits the batter while he is still in the batter's box, it is a foul ball. The question here is whether the batted ball hit the batter's foot.
04:09 Same as 02:29 above.
04:24 It seems that the umpire did not see the ball going in the first baseman's glove or the first baseman tagging first base. After the umpires discussed the play, they ruled that both had happened and the batter was out as a result.
04:48 Where the batter swings with two strikes, the bat made contact with the pitch, and the ball goes straight back, if the ball "goes sharp and direct from the bat to the catcher’s hands and is legally caught", it is a foul tip, which can be the third strike. If the ball is not caught, it is a foul ball, which cannot be the third strike. The question here is whether the ball was caught. The rule provides that "[i]n establishing the validity of the catch, the fielder shall hold the ball long enough to prove that he has complete control of the ball and that his release of the ball is voluntary and intentional. If the fielder has made the catch and drops the ball while in the act of making a throw following the catch, the ball shall be adjudged to have been caught." The catcher dropped the ball at one point, but has he held the ball "long enough to prove that he has complete control of the ball" and did the drop occur during the transfer (from the glove to the throwing hand)? If either question is in the affirmative, it is a catch and the batter is out. If both are answered in the negative, it is not a catch and batter is not out.
05:30 A tag requires the fielder to hold on to the ball after the tag. Similar to catches, "the fielder shall hold the ball long enough to prove that he has complete control of the ball. If the fielder has made a tag and drops the ball while in the act of making a throw following the tag, the tag shall be adjudged to have been made." It appears that the runner knocked the ball out of the fielder's glove, so the fielder failed to hold on to the ball and it was not a tag.
06:19 Similar to 02:46 above.
06:48 For a tag on a runner to be valid, it must be made with the same hand that holds the glove. Here the fielder tagged the batter-runner with his throwing hand, but the ball was in his glove. Therefore, it was not a tag.
07:19 The question here is whether the batter swung. The home plate umpire called a swing, but in close check-swing situations the base umpire in the opposite side from the batter would have a better view. There is no hard and fast rule as to what counts as a swing and what is not a swing.
07:40 Similar to 00:06 above, but here if the batter missed the ball, because there were two outs, the batter would become a runner and all runners would be forced to advance. As a result, the catcher needed only tag home plate to force out the runner from third base for the third out, which is precisely what the catcher did.
08:08 A runner oversliding the bag is not automatically out; he must be tagged while off the base to be out. The question here is whether a tag was made while the runner was off the bag.
08:41 Ejecting a player for objecting to an umpire's call is up to the umpire's judgement under rule 8.01(d). The question here is whether throwing the bat towards home plate constitutes an ejectable offense.
08:50 Similar to 08:41 above, the question is whether the player's action constitutes an ejectable offense.
09:08 Similar to 04:48 above, but here the question is whether the ball bounced on the ground before going to the catcher's glove. If so, it would not be a foul tip and not a third strike.
09:34 Similar to 00:06 above, but here the umpire ruled that the bat did not contact the ball, which it clearly did. This should have been a foul ball.
09:59 On a walk, a runner can try for a base to which he is not forced on his own risk as long as the ball is live. The question here is whether the runner reached third base before being tagged.
10:35 Same as 02:29 and 08:41 above.

Dang!!
“3:39 appears to be in the strike zone”
Oh well no shit that ball is down the middle
Wrong.
I love that it says awful calls yet there’s a few on here that we’re the right call
Agreed
Right, But, most people and fans don't know any better.
Exactly
*were* not we’re
Just goes to show you how many people still can't comprehend the infield fly rule.
What makes the infield fly involving the Expos “awful?” It’s the correct call...
Yeah, I've got no idea why that's on here...
Andrew McNicoll so due to the infield fly rule the batter is automatically out. The runners then advance at their own risk and due to the ball being dropped, the runners do not need to tag up before advancing. The expos were arguing for a force out as bases were loaded but there was no force out available due to Bonds being out on the infield fly rule. Hope that helps
Anthony Valdez no he knows it’s the correct call, it’s just wrong for it be in the video since it isn’t the wrong call
isak_dinesen14 copy that. I misread it sorry lol. Same thing happened in little league last year for a game I was umpiring and I have to explain this to the coaches
Anthony Valdez I bet that was fun
Some of these weren’t bad calls it’s just y’all don’t know the rules

@@lazerboi6607 as a 12 year old I’m confused on how you think that’s good grammar.
3:40, as the late, great Harry Kalas used to say, "Right down the middle for a ball."
The second one is correct. Reyes had the right-away to third, so Lawrie was tagged out. Reyes got off the bag, and he was tagged out.
Reyes was off the bag when the tag on Lawrie was made, so how can Lawrie be out?
@@M_M0109 As the announcer said, "Lawrie has to get off the base." The MLB just made a video on unwritten rules and this was one of them. Lawrie could have gone back to second at that point and been safe. He didn't have the right-away. If Reyes stayed on the bag, just Lawrie would have been out. The only way he wouldn't have been out is if Reyes ran home, or Lawrie went to second.
@@ryanp.5051 Using an announcer as a rules reference is definitely the wrong way to go. The only way Lawrie is out in this situation is if he is tagged while both he and Reyes are on the bag at the same time, which clearly is not the case here. The key phrase is "on the bag at the same time".
@@M_M0109 they were right
Reyes still has 3rd base and Lawrie was tagged first, and Reyes was off
A number of these aren't bad calls. They're either the correct call, or calls that are pretty easy to get wrong in real time from the angle the umpire is looking at it, and even some of those were overturned by review. There have been countless worse calls than almost 3/4 of these.....
Clearly the guy that made this knows nothing about the rulebook.

Compilation of umpires actually knowing the rules and teams pulling umpires from the local little league.
Would be to short
At 1:00,
I disagree with the ump’s call.
I’d like to hear what you all think.
Here’s my thought, and I admit with limited knowledge on rules associated with two runners on same base.
My understanding:
When two runners are on the same base (at the same time), lead runner has priority so is considered to occupy the base legit. Following runner is considered not touching a base bag, even if he is physically touching that base bag.
Here what happened: during the run down, lead runner had no idea his following runner was coming to 3rd.
The lead runner rushes back to 3rd seeking safety, touches his hand on the base bag.
Immediately he realizes what happened: his team mate ran up to 3rd base and is standing on the bag.
Lead runner decides to sacrifice himself so removes his hand from base bag.
At this instant, no more “two runners on same base”. The lead runner is now technically not on base bag, and is in between 3rd & home.
NOW the defense tags the following runner standing on the base bag. This tag has no effect. Because at the moment of that tag, that runner was the ONLY runner on that base bag.
So the follow-runner is safe, not out.
Defense then tags the lead runner. Lead runner not touching base bag. Lead runner is legit out.
This is not a double play.
Ump made the wrong call.
Again, that’s my interpretation based on understanding of the “two runners on base bag AT THE SAME TIME” rule.
Your thoughts?
You're absolutely right, with one minor clarification, when two runners are on the same base the lead runner has priority, unless he is forced. For example, runners at first and second and a grounder to the shortstop. The runner at second decides not to run to 3rd because he might get tagged out, so he stays on 2nd. The runner that was on first gets to 2nd because he was forced by the batter-runner. The runner going from 1st to 2nd now has priority since the runner at 2nd was forced to go to 3rd.
I disagree, the lead runner has priority to the bag. Since the trail runner came to the bag, he got tagged and is out. The lead runner went off the bag so he is out. If you see he actually tagged the trail runner first. I think it was correct.
Someone better tell those baseball players that there's a giant arrow pointing at a big red circle.
Regarding the 2nd play shown, with the run down: The lead runner that originally occupied 3rd base , came off the base.. was not on the base, so the preceding runner was allowed to be there until the lead runner gets back on the base. However, the original lead runner at 3rd base never went back on the base and as he was off the base he was tagged out. So he should be out and that should be the only out. Tagging the preceding runner while on base is not an out, again, because the original lead runner was not on the base and was also put out first. there should only be one out made on that play.
But he tagged the behind runner first so he’s out then the lead runner was off the bag so when he’s tagged he’s out, not questioning you just letting you know that’s how the book says it
@@tsmxlirics_1942 The trail runner would only be out if both runners were in contact with the base. That didn't happen. There is no reason Lawrie would be out.
1:52 Just because the defense didn't know the rules doesn't make this an awful call. It was the correct call.
2:45 I'm a lifelong White Sox fan, and even I know this was a pretty bad call. I mean, I love AJ, but he was a pretty archetypal high baseball IQ guy that liked to bend situations his way like this. He's the catcher who talks trash while you're in the box. His thinking was to take off and make the umpire question whether the ball was dropped or caught. Catcher's glove is in the dirt, so it's easy to see why he would think the ball was in the dirt, too. Still, AJ is a catcher, and he knew well and good that ball was caught before he took off running.
1:53 - the call is correct. Infield fly, runner going to 1st is out, runner from 3rd can advance at his own risk. He's safe and call is correct.
Im so confused. Kind of new to baseball and don’t fully understand. I thought the runner from 3rd was out because the catcher was given the ball and stepped on home base. I always thought this was immediately an out. What allowed him to keep running and get to home safe if the catcher had already touched base with the ball in hand? Sorry I’m just trying to understand this rule cause now I’m really curious.
@@lizvargas9905 Since the batter was called out on an infield fly rule there was no force out because nobody had to advance. For him to be out from third on this play they would have had to tag him out.
2:02 that was the right call. Batter was called out so the runner on third didn't have to go home, making it not a force out.
Regarding the infield fly rule called at 1:56, I see several comments saying the runner from 3rd base does not need to tag-up (go back to 3rd base and step on 3rd base), which is completely irrelevant.
What is relevant is that the batter-runner was called out very quickly according to the infield fly rule so the other runners are not forced to advance; therefore a force out cannot be made on any of the other runners. To get any of the other runners out, somebody from the other team needs to tag (touch) one of the other runners with either the ball in hand or ball in glove, which did not happen. The home plate umpire made the correct call on both infield fly rule (batter-runner Bonds) out and the runner from 3rd (Perez) safe at home.
You are right, I'm not sure why this is in the video. Unless the title is Awful Call by Umpire/Players
Bonds not needing to tag up actually is relevant. He did not, which is why he was safe.
If they made the catch, he would have had to tag up, even after the batter was called out.
@@thejerminator877 He would have to tag up after the fielder touched the ball, just like any other fly ball.
@@alanhess9306 Runners only have to tag up if the ball is caught.
@@thejerminator877 Yes, I never said anything different.
I was telling my son that some of these baseball missed calls, especially the strikes, or non strikes, are kind of misleading. We haven't seen the whole game to see what Blue's strike zone is. But still, a blatant bad call is still a bad call.
So if the umpire is calling pitches wrong the whole game it’s ok?
@@steveswangler6373 Of course not, Steve, but the short clips we see of Blue's calls might not be indicative of how his strike zone is that given day. I'm a Blue Jays fan, how about you, who is your team ? 🇨🇦⚾️⚾️🇨🇦
Those weren't all bad calls. The infield fly with the man scoring was the proper call.
Other than that they were pretty bad calld
@@Its_jdubb_ AJ Pierzynski came off the base and was out at 8:14. The balls and strikes are hard to argue though also because they drop from in the zone to out of the zone. We have the benefit of the K-zone to show you where it crossed the front of the plate, If it dropped 3-4 inches early, it's easy to say how obvious it is, but in real time without the k-zone, you'd have no idea if it was a strike or not. Those aren't awful, just difficult judgment calls which are made to look like they are easy calls due to the k-zone and slowmo replay.
@@robertdouth8979 THis and the infield fly were both definitely correct calls. People think they can make a better call from hundreds of feet away than an ump with the best seat in the house lmao.
Expos's coach came out and told his players to shut the hell up. Not a word to the umpire LOL
The play with the Expos and Giants with the infield fly rule is the right call. The runner is safe because once the infield fly rule is called the force out is eliminated from the play.
Now... Anyone who hits a home run off Burnette has EVERY RIGHT to stay at the play and watch it fly over the fence. If a pitcher can punch an out... batters can watch and relish over homers.
Well, Burnett is retired, so your point won't come to fruition.
1:48 I think the umpire called him out because the heel of the foot motion upwards and because he didn’t have good angle he assumed his foot came off the bag
You’re probably right, but since he had a bad angle he shouldn’t have made the call. If you don’t see it (or hear it in certain cases) you can’t assume that something happened, especially in the age of review, where if you missed something it’ll get overturned.
0:18 The way he said "NO"
Fun fact:not three people can be first
At 5:31 it was the right call because well runner’s interference, he Slapped the ball out the glove, so it’s the correct call

2nd clip is correct. The runner going back to the bag "owns" that bag, he wasn't on base and was tagged so he is out, the other runner cannot occupy that base therefore he is out.

@@austinluszcz1426 Yes, you are correct and Joel is wrong.

@@chaosawaits I thought so, but I didn't spend a lot of time analyzing the play.
@@almostfm You missed the rule that says the trail runner would only be out if two runners are touching the same base. This was the wrong call, Lawrie should not be out.
The infield fly rule clip was the correct call. The batter is immediately out because of the infield fly, removing all force plays. Since the pop-up was not caught, the runners do not need to tag up, and since there was no force play, you must tag the runner, not just step on home plate.
The number of correct calls in here is nuts

@@arthurwg4898 it was the correct call

@@Reexys no that's not what happened lawrie got tagged out with reyes on the bag then reyes got off the bag then got tagged out
Of all the truly awful calls that have been made in the past decade alone, none were included in this video. If anything, this shows how hard it is to be an umpire, especially at the pro level.
On the bases, it’s pretty hard to get a perfect angle to see the whole play without missing any important parts while players are going all out to touch the base/ make the tag.
Behind the plate, it’s near impossible to make the right call on every pitch/swing when you’re dealing with fastballs that top out well over 100mph and breaking balls that defy the laws of physics, with a huge blind spot on any ball that ends up below the catchers knees.
Umpires are human, they make mistakes sometimes, but their truly awful calls come when they let their egos best them and make the games about themselves.

Lawrie was tagged while Reyes was not in contact with the base. There is no reason Lawrie should have been called out.

4:45 umpires having a conference to get it right is.... awful? Okay...
The original call was awful, it’s so obvious it shouldn’t require a conference
4:54 Time for me to be unbiased with my umpiring knowledge. There are 3 things that contribute to a catch; Secure possession, transfer and intentional release. Yes the catcher caught the ball, but he did not intentionally release the ball, therefore not having secure possession either. Before you guys come at my throat in the replies, don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger. I'll be more than happy to answer the questions.

No it wasn’t, it would have been if they were both on the base and then the lead runner got off but they weren’t
baseballrebels reyes touches the base and got off, giving him the entitlement to the bag, therefor lawrie getting tagged is called out, then reyes was tagged off the bag so he gets called out. if reyes was tagged out first, lawrie would be called safe
I'm an umpire. He made the correct call. Reyes did touch the base and he's the lead runner, which if he STAYED ON THE BAG, he would have been safe, since he got off the bag, he's no longer entitled, so BOTH ARE OUT.
@@alecdeen8084 Since Reyes had not yet scored or been put out, third base was still legally his. As such, Lawrie could not possess third, so his current base was still second, regardless of what base he was actually touching. Since he was not touching second when he was tagged, he was out.
If Reyes had been tagged first, then Lawrie would have gained possession of third, and been safe when tagged. But Lawrie was tagged first.

I hate to admit but the 2nd clip is actually correct. Lawrie has to get off the base cuz it’s Reyes’ base and that’s when he gets off the bag so it’s a double play

That 2nd one wasn't an awful call. It was the correct one. Runner from 2nd is out because the runner on 3rd went out, and you can't have two people occupy the same base, so the runner who was already on it "owns" the base. And the runner from 3rd was out because AFTER the runner from 2nd was tagged out, the runner from 3rd wasn't on the bag so he was tagged out.

@LemonStir I understand the rule very well. Vyselink is wrong. Lawrie was tagged while he was the only runner on the base. He is safe. Reyes was tagged when he was off the base. He is out. There is no reason Lawrie would be out. Announcers were completely wrong

The second clips call is actually correct. A good way to describe it is as if lower wasn’t standing on a bag at all because the person who was originally on the bag has priority he then was tagged and because the other runner was not on the bag and was tagged he too was out
No, Lawrie would only be out if he was tagged while both runners were in contact with the base.
The run down with the 2 players at third is the correct call. The player that was off the base has the right to the base. The one who is on the bag has a right to second base but not third. If he tagged the guy off the base first then third base would be open and only 1 out would have been called.
The Yankees double play was correct and so was the infield fly rule...why say awful call?
@@clintfowler3856 the ruling was Reyes went back past 3rd base even though he didn't go towards 2nd so Lowrie passed him so he was tagged out first even though he was on the bag.
7:26 is the right call. The runner from third is forced.
It's not the right call though. Although this play should result in an out, he calls the incorrect out. Umpire is calling a strikeout and catch. Even though the catcher does the right thing and tags home for the force, the ump missed that call. So not only did this ump get one call wrong, he got two wrong in mere seconds!!
@@TehGamesaver It is absolutely the correct call. The catcher did not catch the pitch, so the runner can attempt to advance which ends up being a force play at the plate.
The more there are of these titles I think it’s a bot account
I swear some of them are. Like "Baseball Throne". One of the worst titles is "Expulsion after strikeout". What the fuck does that even mean
I AM FROM ANCIENT GREECE there is one called crazing hit. WTF is that
@@jonathonenglebert1927 I'm gonna start reporting them for bots and see if anything happens
I AM FROM ANCIENT GREECE 😂😂
I'll never forget the strike 3 call on Zobrist in the Rays vs Rangers to end the game. That was the worst I've ever seen. How is that not on here?
Broadcasters using slow motion cameras and multiple replays: “yeah the umpire is completely wrong and I don’t know how he can miss that”
I like to think that the catchers are good framers
Watching this makes me sooooo mad
as a baseball player who has shitty umpires this video makes me so mad but this video is also so relatible
This video should be called “umpires are human and make errors too”
Its great we have replays and cameras now. Umpires have gotten completely ridiculous and awful at calling plays.
0:44 where is the awful call, I might just be dumb but that seems like a pretty good call
Okay a few of these were actually very good calls, why are they in this video lol
Some of these are awful calls; some are actually the correct call; and most are just close calls that the umpire ended up being wrong on when reviewed on replay
No context, no explanation, just hodge podge of videos spliced together.
0:38 is the right call - Reyes is on their when Lawrie gets tag also on third. The rule is if two players are in the same base, who ever originally occupied it is safe. At that point, Lawrie is out and eliminated from the play. Then Reyes comes off the bag and is tagged out.
Reyes was not on the base. He would still be considered as not on it when lawrie is tagged. Therefore Lawrie is safe and reyes is out not both of them a\are out
2:30 is the right call. they didn’t catch the ball meaning he doesn’t have to tag up. infield fly does not relieve you of a tag up, but since it wasn’t caught he was good touching home
2:10
Barry bonds was the right call. Runners advance at their own risk. Bonds did. And scored a run while the infielders were dazed and confused.
Did anyone notice that Umpires act like cops lol
Goddamn dude I used this video to learn how this game works and now I have bunch of angry parents calling me with death threats. This video has ruined my life.
The Yankees and Blue Jays call was also correct the man on third base did not go home so third base was not open for the man on second to progress.
Nope, that was the wrong call. When Lawrie was tagged he was the only runner on the base. There is no reason Lawrie should have been called out.
