Braves Turn Crazy 8-3-5 Triple Play 

Thanks I will check it out

Thanks

Who do u think will win world series

The Boston beaneaters 😂

@@joshuaanderson4090 Teams had really weird names back then

I heard it is the colors of the Boston Marathon.

​@@janperry4477It's their CityConnect jersey, that was foisted upon MLB by Nike. Just a money making ploy by MLB and Nike, to get us to buy more swag. The White Sox one is good, white pinstripes on black, but most are horrible, like these Bosox ones. I'll take your word their the Marathon colors, that make sense.

All of the CitiConnect units are weird……….the Padres’ are truly bizarre.

Straight forward? lmfao. This whole play is awkward.

@@abecx Only three defensive players handle the ball. The 8-3 double play is not at all uncommon. Adding a runner trying to advance to third on an 8-3 is not a stretch at all. This would appear to be a play that is much more common than say, a 1-3-6-2-5-6 triple play (which I've seen).

It requires two pro athletes to make little league mistakes at the same time combined with the outfielder and first baseman both making quick reads and accurate throws.

@@anokieonhockey9242 And yet, that happens all the time. I just found it astounding that it had been 139 years since such a play had occurred. You know there had to be a lot of little league mistakes made in that time.

Hey Jan, I agree with you. Not sure why all the fighting over it.

The problem with that logic... Getting doubled off is pretty bad.

@@isaacclark9825 worse than getting thrown out at 2B for one out. So don’t risk getting doubled off. That’s the point.

@@mph7282 A person who takes an action because he thinks that "the worst that can happen is I get doubled off" is already a fool. That's MY point.

@@isaacclark9825 Well, in that case you should just take off from 1B on contact and sprint as fast as you can around the bases, passing every other runner. Don’t let the consequences of your action figure into it.

@@mph7282 That is pretty much the exact opposite of what I said, which was that the player was an idiot for going as far off first base as he did. You don't need to fear a triple play not to do what he did.

Harris also has a very strong arm. His throw to first looks pretty casual but you can tell he put some mustard on it.

Yes and no, respectively. All runners have to tag up on a caught fly.

Yeah, but these are both first-year Red Sox. Duvall was the one tagged out at 1st, and Yoshida at 3rd. Yoshida has played 44 home games this year, but was in the Japanese League before, so didn't even come to Fenway as a visitor. Duvall is only in his 21st home game at Fenway (had an injury earlier in the season). So they're not as accustomed to the park as, say, Devers or Verdugo would be.

​@stephenj9470 44 home games is more than anyone but an AL East player would have. And you aren't including practice time. Either way, in what stadium is that not a ln easy fly ball for a center fielder? This isn't left or even right field. This is a very basic ball. As for the plan to take third, that may work in little league so unless you think Japan is little league, that was also terrible. There is zero excuse. And that's why I love watching.

@@seantimmons5900 I understand and agree with you for the most part. I just think we overestimate sometimes players' abilities to understand the intricacies of their ballpark. That said, you're right that this should have been relatively simple. I think Yoshida just got too bold. On a side note about the Japanese league. I looked up some of the differences out of curiosity, and they just make Yoshida's decision worse. Apparently some fields are smaller in Japan, and outfielders tend to have better arms.

Glad you enjoyed!

Boston Marathon colors. Best uniforms in baseball in my opinion.

To take third, the 2B runner would need to be tagged up and ready to go as soon as he saw the throw go to first. You should be able to run 90 feet and beat 2 throws. But if you're still going back to 2B, just stay there. Unless you want to be on RU-vid (and every highlight show).

We can’t see the runner, but I’d like to assume he doesn’t have his head up his ass. (We also saw him watching CF like he was supposed to.) That said, you never know. :-)

You mean you loved the defensive part.

@@joshuaneal7552 no I loved the oddity of it. Defensively it was just a routine pop fly. I think the Braves were actually caught off guard that both Yoshida and Duvall were running.

@@119Agent Yeah, that's kinda what I meant - just the overall baseball aspect of it. Yeah, I don't know what the hell Yoshida was doing.

​@@joshuaneal7552He obviously didn't get back to second to tag in time. You can see he stops, then takes like another half step towards third, before heat back. I think if he's back at second, prepared to tag up, he makes it easily once he sees the throw go to first.

Ball is caught (1st out), ball is thrown to first base before the baserunner can tag up (2nd out) and the other baserunner tags up but is then tagged before he can reach third base (3rd out).

Third base coach is only really used for runners rounding third and balls down right field line and a runner coming to 3B. Most cases the runner knows their speed best since they have run the bases thousands of times. Also, with multiple runners it’s tough for 3B coach to communicate to everyone. Easier to just make the read for yourself.

Every defense position is identified by a number. Position 8 is center field. Position 3 is first baseman. Position 5 is third baseman. 8-3-5 is the sequence of defenders who handled the ball. 8 caught the fly ball to make the first out. 3 tagged first base to make the second out. 5 tagged the runner to make the third out.

The City Connect jerseys that MLB and their uniform manufacturer, Nike, decided all teams would have. The Red Sox first wore these last season. By the end of next season, I believe the teams that haven't yet debuted their CityConnect jersey will have done so.

Don't worry, each team only wears it for select home series.

@fifiwoof1969...it was the concept for almost the entire history of baseball, but it does seem bro be going away. The reasoning being if you're already safely at second base, you are in scoring position for most base hits that are fielded by an outfielder, so why take the bat out of your teammate's hands by getting thrown out at third. Oddly enough, a lot of third base coaches take the bat out of the next batter's hands by waving runners home with two outs, only to see them gunned down at the plate for the third out. It happened more often before the universal DH, if the next hitter was the starting pitcher.

@@robbarbieri8676 the way I heard the video it sounded like it was a fielding decision (hence my comment) but I follow your reasoning and for a batting side it sounds logical. As for the fielding side? Take any outs you can, wherever you can. If I misheard what he said, let me know. Happy to be educated.

@@robbarbieri8676 as for universal DH and pitchers not batting I have one name for you - Shohei Ottani (probably spelt wrong). My great problem with American sport - NFL is a CLEAR example is specialized players. Pitchers not batting is MLB's example (could TEACH [ANOTHER wild concept, although it worked in the NL until the pandemic] pitchers to bat - SHOHEI!) but let's look at gridiron. Each team has offense, defense and special teams. That's THREE separate teams that just go on and off as possession changes. Imagine that in any other sport, like soccer, rugby league, rugby union, tennis, cricket, basketball, ice hockey, etc. Can't believe the money NFL players make for the little they do, but hey, I'd take the money too.

@@fifiwoof1969 Yes, the announcer was referring to the team batting should never run into the third out by trying for the extra base. That doesn't apply to a force play at third. But if a player tries to go from first to third on a single to LF and gets thrown out, or tries to stretch a double into a triple and gets thrown out, both to end the at bat, that's where the adage comes from. Defensively, yes, you would take the third out where ever you can get it. I mentioned third base coaches sending runners home foolishly. Today, there was a perfect example as the Yankee 3B coach sent Giancarlo Stanton home ( who doesn't run well at all) on a single to CF and he was out by at least 30 feet. As for Ohtani, he's a special case. They even changed the rules for him, so he can remain in the game as DH even if he gets pulled out of a game where he wasn't pitching well, or reached his pitch limit. He's actually lucky they implemented the universal DH, because as far as I know, he's never shown he can field any position other than pitcher. If the NL didn't have the DH now, their teams might have some reluctance to go after him as a FA, considering the contract he's going to get. Also, the pandemic isn't necessarily the reason the universal DH came about, though I think it sped it up by a year or so. The Players Association has wanted it for years, so it was going to come at some point. Now, as to the specialization in American football ( not just the NFL), that's never going away. If there were no platoons in American football, I think you might have 1 or more players die per year, especially in the NFL. I've heard former players say their body doesn't start to feel normal until Wednesday evening after a Sunday game. Imagine how long it would take them to recover if they were out there the whole game. That's the reason players hate the Thursday night games so much. Of course, the owners don't care, they just care about the money. Well, and winning, of course, but mostly the money, lol.

@@robbarbieri8676 to me sport is about stamina and endurance and when you're about to collapse from the nonstop action you deliver your best effort - see none of that in American Football (sorry NFL is just a league of the game). Some of the sports I mentioned also have lengthy unnecessary stoppages, there by ruining the flow and fatigue nature. If you've never seen it before check out a full game of "Australian Rules Football" - AFL is a league of it or Rugby League - NRL is their league, Rugby Union, Soccer (REAL football). It's just back and forth nonstop action unless the ball goes out or there's an injury, etc. I'm not sure if it's in full on RU-vid but try looking up "State of Origin Rugby League 1994 Game 1" - New South Wales v Queensland. Even if you don't know the rules, watch the flow of the whole game and THEN the ending. As a Queenslander I STILL orgasm at that game! Then compare THAT to your best example from American football. Tom Brady coming back from 28-3 down to win the Super Bowl in overtime? GREAT ending? Nowhere near the endurance of any other sport!

Oh, the Psy-Op?

plus the guy hit like an AL relief pitcher when he waa at the plate

They wanted to make it onto RU-vid :)
