@@NewYorkYankees123 Fabulous guy and a wonderful team player I love to watch. I curse the day he was traded by the Cubs along with the rest of the "heart" of that team, Baez, Schwarber, Bryant....
3:12 What the hell was Jurickson Profar doing? It makes no sense for him to be playing to the crowd there, and especially to not be paying attention in the process.
How is the "Infield Fly" not in effect at 0:18 by OBR Rules? The only thing I can think is that a check-swing is ruled the same as a bunt. OBR definition of Infield Fly: "An INFIELD FLY is a fair fly ball (not including a line drive nor an attempted bunt) which can be caught by an infielder with ordinary effort, when first and second, or first, second and third bases are occupied, before two are out. The pitcher, catcher and any outfielder who stations himself in the infield on the play shall be considered infielders for the purpose of this rule"
The play with Detroit/Tampa Bay with Morris at 1st and Martinez batting. When Morris fielded the ball his foot was on the line making it a fair ball. When he steps to throw, both feet end up in foul territory, so I would think since it’s inside the bag, that would make it a foul ball. Anyone know if this was called correctly?
@@bcdm999 Correct. The ball's position in relation to the lines determines fair/foul - feet, body position, glove, etc. do not matter, only the ball, and any "portion" of the ball in fair territory makes it a fair ball.
Why are some of these clips on this video? Guy gets a ball hit right to him, he throws it to another player who gets the force out. I guess that's talent.
I'm surprised nobody mentioned 07:00 it doesn't look bad until you see the other view and you realize he was blocking the base path and absolutely could have hurt him bad with that snapped neck.
God Bless you all! All glory to God! Turn from your sins and live for God! Romans 10:9 “if you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God rose Him from the dead you will be saved.”
@@alanhess9306 I mean, perhaps. But in slow mo for me, it looks like the runner's got his left foot stable and the toes of his right foot resting on top of the bag and his sliding momentum is done, and then the 2nd baseman slams his glove into the runner's right leg so hard to push his foot off the bag before he has a chance to plant his heel down on the bag. You could argue his foot wasn't "firmly planted", but I mean...this looks like a Hrbek special to me. Too much of this going on lately, Bobby Witt etc.
Judging by the comments the title used to be 1,000 IQ plays which they aren’t, and 1,000,000% talent also wouldn’t work here, these are just “cool plays” or “slightly cooler plays than normal”
I have a question for any umpires out there. On the plays where the ball gets stuck in the pitcher's glove and he removes that glove and tosses it to First Base.......why isn't that a violation of the "detached equipment" rule?
So also there's another thing that still exists today. Already in half of the major leagues you have pitchers that can hit too (for now). When scouted their score might have been an 8 for pitching 3 for hitting for a total of 11. This IS NOT rare and equalled wins (until today). Scouts are now looking for a pitching machine with a 10 pitching and 0 hitting. Before long it'll be too late and that'll encompass the entire MLB. At which time they'd be tough competition...for a college team. A new league 20-30 years from now playing MLB's universal DH for the series would be something huh? Something normal productive fair balanced American and meant to be even 🤔? A bit of a throw back for some "AMERICAN(S)" who haven't played baseball or (d)idn't (h)it in over 49 years. While some still play that way today. I don't want to get ahead of ourselves MLB (I'm thinking 20 years ought to be fair) but tonight we dine in hell?
it kind of is though. most plays like these aren't practiced, so i suggest not saying "these plays are just the thing to do" unless you practice it religiously
@@m0ltn yes, there are some amazing plays in the video, but there are also simple plays like rundowns which are practiced. Also, what I mean isn't that these plays are easy, what I mean is that these plays aren't incredibly smart.
No, it's pretty smart. You snooze, you lose. You should always know where the ball is and you should always know whether time has been called or the play is live.
ROFLMAO...I find it amazing that you think a guy who takes the ball without a glove is a hero...watch cricket, the only guys with gloves are the batsmen and wicket-keeper everyone else catches the ball bare-handed...it's not a superpower - Americans are comedy hour for the world, and I love it.

@@alanhess9306actually incorrect Rule 6.01(h)(1)) states that “if a Runner is obstructed before reaching first base on a ground ball to an infielder. This type of obstruction is to be signaled by the umpire immediately calling “Time” (both hands overhead) and then pointing laterally at the obstruction while calling loudly and clearly, “That’s obstruction.” The ball is dead immediately under this section of the obstruction rule, and all runners shall be awarded bases they would have reached had there been no obstruction. “ This instance is a actually a very good example of that, you can even see that batter’s reaction whe the ump gets in the way.
@@FartassVolfgangus Yes, I know the rule. Two things you are not understanding. 1. The umpire cannot be guilty of obstruction. No rule would support that. Only a fielder can be called for obstruction. 2. The runner hesitated and did not immediately run toward first. He was not obstructed by the catcher. There is no way obstruction should be called.
@@FartassVolfgangus No, I don't have to account for a "jeopardy rule", since there is no such thing. What, according to you, is the Jeopardy rule? What are you talking about? Is that a rule you made up?
