One of the Dumber Plays you'll ever see, a breakdown 

same haha God bless Jesus loves and God has a plan for all have a blessed day

Right 😂😂😂 Javy almost forgot he was still in play when he called Willson safe 🤣🤣🤣

Just when we think we’ve seen it all in baseball, something like this happens lol

And he still got to second which makes it even better

@@CarLitozWayzz exactly .......

Hahahaha! Yeah!

That guy: Was that play legal?

'can't disappoint the fans if theres none in the stands'- an old Pirates adage, probably

Cant be disappointed if you’re already dead inside *chokes back tears*

Lol as if we haven't been numb to this kind of shit for years now

Idiocy with this organization is the norm, we are used to it 🙄😂

There were probably no Pirates fans in the stands, there’s your answer for no disappointment

Haha it truly is. It truly, truly is.

Perfect summary

Baez even had time to call him safe and still make it to second lmao

There is no better way to describe this

You don’t have the best screen name ever, only #2

HAHAHAHA

Is Javy secretly the son of the speedy guy in the Sandlot movie? 😕 Cause only a fictional movie character could help his teammate score from 2nd on a simple grounder to 3rd.

😂😂😂

Straight savage . I know everybody seen that nobodys said anything

Shows the mind game that can be used in that moment. Baez was genius to try that move, regardless.

Yup, he had a brain fart on the play, just like the rest of the Pirates team did with the exception of the catcher.

and then he makes it to 2nd, after running all the way back to home. Thats the most inexcusable thing ive ever seen. That he scores himself is a travesty. Pirates, turn in your uniforms! Did this happen in 2021?

@N Mussell If you follow precisely what happened, that would be the wrong conclusion. Go freeze the clip @ 1:26, and you'll see at that precise moment Javy Baez had already shifted his momentum to head back towards first base BEFORE the catcher even got the ball. Now, at that precise moment, all the catcher had to do was just get one more out, and he would be out of the inning - regardless of whether it was Baez or the runner already committing himself in his slide to home plate. which of those 2 runners would be the more logical choice to go after - the one already coming at him by going towards home plate, or the other runner (Baez) running away from him and going back towards first base, where the catcher would then have to try and chase him down, in full catcher's gear, with nobody covering first base to toss the ball to? Of course, it would be to try to tag the runner out sliding at home. The runner was safe, and then the heads up catcher did the next best maneuver in trying to get Baez out running away from him, which of course there was no way he could have succeeded in doing based on the facts I mentioned previously in this comment.

i seen this part and thought he would be out for being out of baseline

We'll never see anything like this again 😂

🤣

(Them in a Seinfeld voice) I don't want to be a Pirate!

Pirates GM has been tanking every seaon for the better part of 2 decades...

Lmao... Good one. Guys, nobody is going to believe that!!

That first baseman was their first round pick 😂

Lmao

Hahahahhaaha

Absolutely beautiful

My stomach is hurting from laughing at this holy shit!!!

This needs to be his next review. 😂

Criminally underrated

this is why the pirates aren't a playoff team

second* lol

He fucked around and made the others have to find out.

Yeah, this was crazy.

And then on to second...

Give it up for Omar!! Love the channel, sir.

Beautiful play for Cubs fans.

@@byebyebye1334 it was a dumb play for cubs too lolol, you just got lucky the pirates were more dumb

@@chaosawaits can you explain why for the cubs??🤔 I dont see why for the cubs

@@chaosawaits it was brilliantly played by the Cubs. Baez baited him and he fell for it, Contreras went from 2nd to home, Javy ended up on 2nd. Tell me what part of that was dumb lol

SAFE SAFE OH FUCK I GOTTA GO

@@SuperNuclearUnicorn You can literally see him think "I can't belive that fucking worked hell yeah!" followed by "Oh shit its still working lmao"

Rizzo was dying.

What’s hilarious is even Baez thought the play was over and even if he got tagged the run counted. 1st base, catcher, 2nd base, and runner all fucking clueless.

Might be the best baseball moment of all time.

Let me look it.... no. Never.

The thing I DIDNT know about this from other clips was that the runner that scored was on second...I thought the baiting was happening because he was on 3rd. Nope, he came all the way from second, thats 2 bases that the Pirates let that guy swipe, before then giving the batter another two on top.

I bet that was the first rundown on the first baseline ever.....

It has probably happened at second, third, and home before.

Probably happened, small bunt leads to an attempted tag at home, followed by miss throws like this

They are horrible, glad to be a cardinals fan to face this team 19 times, because we are horrible

Someone would have to want to buy them in that case

@@brandonsolis6911 obviously someone would want to buy them. Even being a joke the pirates would turn a profit. They’re this bad because they won’t pay major league talent to play for them and instead they have this.

He said that? 🤣

He’s from Pittsburgh, even I would say that if that was my hometown team lol

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

LOL

Baez was like, "oh shit that's right i'm a runner" lol

utube comment of the day.

Correct, I’m not certain that umpire should of made any call there?

Did this send you into Yinzer mode?

F

I read this in your voice

Baez just went glove side high and Pittsburgh had no idea what to do with that.

@@andrewrichter2231 I guarantee this sent him into full rage Yinzer mode.

As a Mets fan I know the feeling. How the hell does an MLB team bat out of order?

That, my son, is what known as a bonehead play.

Hope you’re feeling better about the Pirates! Nutting actually looks slightly competent right now

@@IRllyDoThis time will tell. We do this almost every year. I agree they do look good…….so far.

It’s moment like these where you just gotta hug your son and give him one of those “Truthful yet comforting” talks.

The scorekeeper did actually come up with an official ruling. I don’t remember what it was, but the announcers mentioned what it was and it was a mouthful

I kinda wish the right fielder had come in to cover first base and successfully gotten the out so it could go down in the books as a 5-3-2-9 force at first.

@@opie7789 It was some complicated variation of a fielder's choice. Still doesn't come close to telling the story of wtf happened.

@@XCodes I think another video said it was FC, RBI, then E2 for the throw to first. Only physical errors count, not mental ones like 'not getting Baez out'.

"E3 - being dumb" Lol

hahah God bless

I was screaming it at my house. Lol

@@nicolasdelao5387 why would the cubs 1st or 3rd base coaches tell them to tag first

Initially I thought it was even worse the Pirates were in the 1st base dugout, but no, upon further review they are along 3rd.

@@michaelfitting1164 Yeah but look at all the people on the field... not one of them could yell at him?

This is like Beer League shit.

I like how this play was so bad you just skipped triple A and said fuck it they deserve double A

Take them back to Indianapolis, all of them.

This is def Charlie Sheen movie material

This comment had me belly laughing like rizzo.

*Javi

Rizzo laughing uncontrollably is my fav part

Was also dumb cause if they had got him at first the run didnt count anyway

@@ParadingWolves that’s the whole point of the video dude

@@levirodriguez7903 Lol, was great too.

you wouldn't even see it there because even T-ballers wouldn't think to run back to home because it should never help you.

Seriously, worst run-down ever.

@@Swiggityswagger I honestly think it wasn't that advanced. You see a guy trying to tag you out, you run away from him. Even T-ballers understand the concept of "tag".

While I wouldn't agree with the decision, if a parent of a little leaguer first baseman who messed up this badly walked out onto the field to beat the kids ass in front of God and everybody, I would understand where the parent was coming from.

Javy's safe call might be the coup de grace for me in the whole video, especially how he takes off running immediately after

@@yetigonecrazy I think its funny how he kinda stood there for a second then realized he still needed to get to first

@@yetigonecrazy lol

That's the first time I've ever seen one!!

these vids take like 10 minutes to make come on man LOL

Are you kidding me? We needed the breakdown as soon as it happended.

I wish he made it an hour sooner

Haha that’s hilarious

Or tag him instead of throwing to the catcher.. maybe he didn't know the rule either though

@@IceWarrior101 the catcher went for the lead runner too and then stood there lol

For a moment I thought if he reached home, he would just restart his at bat lol

@@RuTube981 instead of calling safe he just calls "ball" and picks up his bat lmao

Years ago one of the Giants radio guys told a story during a game about a guy grounded out like this. Except in this version they get him in a RUNDOWN with several throws...then they get him headed back home where he slides in head first, the catcher takes the throw and applies the tag...and the Umpire yells "SAFE!!"

You can curse it's ok

@@feints7714 No, I will tell his mom.

You look like the shirtless fan 😂😂😂

I honestly think even a little leaguer would have simply turned back to first for the force out.

Haha, awesome comment man

lol at calling Will Craig a big leaguer.

They probably knew but after the 1st basemen chased him down the line he should have just tagged him

@@styxscorpion4541 The first baseman also could have chased back to the plate where Javy would have been called out.

The pirates are on the thumbnail, I call cap

😂😂😂

Ikr, it was so metlike

Pirate players were on the thumbnail. I also knew that the Cubs were involved too. Want to guess how I knew this

@@alexh8613 the thumbnail? Haha

Lmao

Should be 9, one to the first basement for the play and 8 others for each player by association.

@@OriginalGymBo If we adopt the NFL convention of awarding half sacks, then the first baseman, the catcher, and the second baseman all get full errors and the rest get the half error. Baez was right there, the catcher almost accidentally tagged him going for the swipe tag of the lead runner.

@@russellcurtis2501 this is the mlb not the nfl they already got their own rules. Which by those if we are overly observant, first baseman and catcher get one obv. Pitcher and second base because no one covered first. Right field for not backing up and shortstop for not catching the throw.

The worst kind of error is mental errors. U have to always be aware of your surroundings and in tune with the game. You play 2 outs always different as a runner and a fielder. Less than two outs sure if you want to prevent the run throw to home. With two outs the only thing you should be worried about is getting the sure out because all force plays ends a play without runs being counted.

U gotta stay loyal my guy

@@aklipa23 I just don't watch anymore

@@TheRatifyer they played very well today

I could say the same thing about my Detroit Lions.

Pirates fans don't actually exist anymore, former pirates fans just laugh at them

Andy Van Slyke and Sid Bream would say otherwise.

JT because as long as every MLB team gets over 60mil a year in revenue sharing regardless of whether or not they are on TV alot allows bottom line bob to make ridiculous profits even if only 10 people show up to the stadium every year. With pirates payroll nutting makes around 30 mil a year in profits just from revenue sharing

not even close lmao. He would occasionally have breakdowns out before the game was even over back in the ol' days.

Javy himself didn't realize the full implication of the play either. He comically stood there exuberantly waving his arms in calling the other runner safe at home - not realizing that he still had to travel the full 90 feet to safely get to first base for the run to even count 🤣.

Noone on the team thought Wil Allen was going to make a throw to try to get the runner at home. Javy had nowhere to go. Allen only needed a few more steps to tag Baez and then the unbelievable happened as Allen apparently didn't know basic baseball rules and the hilarity ensued...

@@davidtsang4949 Cue the Benny Hill theme.

@@davidtsang4949 He wouldn't even need to tag Javy if he had reached or passed the plate. He never should have tossed the ball to the catcher.

@@alanhess9306 it would have been hilarious if the catcher had just tagged Javy instead of trying to get the runner coming from 3rd

Exactly. The game the way it's played now with every team knowing where the guy is going to hit the ball, most plays in the infield are mind numbingly routine. This shit caused the entire Pirates defense to glitch out for like 3 minutes lmao

A bit like golf. You go out and enjoy the air and the dirt and the grass and when someone asks you how many strokes that was, you don't really know because you had been in your zen place for the last twenty minutes. It was probably a lot of strokes because being really good at golf or baseball is hard work.

Agreed because there is no way everyone involved in this play forgot there was 2 outs. Mago stumped the first basemen into thinking there was only 1 out. Or maybe mago thought their was 1 out??

Even if there was 1 out, the play should still be the same: just step on the 1st base, man.

@@lethalfang without a doubt, step on first. Get the easy out. Worry about the runner later.

That had me weak as hell lmaoo

Javy should have called him out just to add more chaos, then circled the bases for an in-park homerun while the Pirates walked off the field

Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes along?

1. Bad throw from 3B to first. 2. 1B chases Baez down the line instead of stepping on the bag. 3. 1B tosses to C instead of tagging Baez. 4. C tries to tag runner scoring from third instead of tagging Baez. 5. C makes bad throw to first. 6. 2B not covering first and misses the throw. 7. RF backing up the play misses the throw. 8. Bad throw from RF to second. 9. SS misses the throw to second.

@@timgraf6320 also will Craig fumbled the throw on the pickoff attempt at the beginning of the video so 8

Next on Unsolved Mysteries.

It like watching a car crash happen. All you can do is watch as it unfolds.

During this inning the Pirates broadcast was interviewing one of the Pirates coaches, and he was talking about how the Pirates were making heads up plays, and how proud they were. Then Javy bats, the broadcaster starts to laugh probably thinking "oh, Javy being Javy once again", but when the rundown keeps going he says "well, actually, shouldn't be laughing, as that's a BAD IDEA. OH MY GOODNESS". The coach they were interviewing simply took off his headphones and left, didn't say goodbye or anything. xD

there must be a psychological explanation of this... something like mass hysteria but in this case it's collective brain farts

@@samuelperezgarcia He actually said, "That's not a bad idea," referring to Baez running from Craig. And it wasn't! : )

Not if you’ve been watching pirates baseball for the last 30 years.

@@Mocityspirit yeah, I don’t pay much attention to the pirates until weird things like this happen to be completely fair. Honestly, if they need help, let me know. I’ll give it a shot. 😂

You are correct, literally insane! When my son first sent me the link to this play I didn’t realize there were two outs. I doubt there has ever been a play like this in 150 years of MLB

We learned this rule in t-ball and these are professionals that don't know the rules lol. Ridiculous.

But somehow MLB hyped it up as "El Mago with the magical baserunning" on their front page... No, MLB, No.. he failed hard and should have been an easy out. Craig just decided to fail harder.

He was probably saying so many WTFs that he lost all sense of the play. Damn what a boneheaded play by the first baseman 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

He was probably so confused by what he was seeing his body just froze

The pitcher could have covered first, too. The off-target throw from third base got all this started - less than half the team is innocent.

I thought if you stop running to first your out.

2nd baseman was convinced it was all a bad dream; couldn’t wake himself

Seriously! I'm not even a Cubs fan, but him laughing is everything 😂

Rizzo is getting a kick out of this

Rizzo is high IQ. I seen him drop a fly ball to get a double play. He would never fall for that shit. I didn't care cuz my money was on the cubs

@@meddlingmage23 José Cardinal used to do that kind of thing, too.

Good call. I don’t remember seeing anything so ridiculous in little league. Not even close.

@@nxn21 he didn't have to do a whole safe call to see if he was safe or not😂

Because Baez didn't know he still had to reach 1B safely for the run to count. Baez was as ignorant of the rule as the Pirates were. Baez only went to 1B because he realized he still was not out.

@@jefflewis4 it's amazing that I as someone with extremely limited knowledge of baseball knew that with 2 outs the hitter has to safely reach 1st for any runs to count. Yet, MLB players evidently did not know.
