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
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. 🤷🏽♀️
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)
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!!:-)
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?
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
@@yahairavargas3199 The batter thought the hit doesn't count because the ball wasn't in the field in the beginning so he didn't start run. But the catcher waited for the ball to roll into the field because if that would happen the hit would count and the catcher could turn off the batter. As the ball touched the white line he was officially in the field so the catcher ran to the batter and turned him off with the ball in his glove. ( I hope you can understand that and that i didn't make a lot mistakes because I'm not english) 😊😅
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.
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.
