@@alexh8613 Thank goodness they dealt him. Of all the Yankees, Gary Sanchez was my least favorite. A pure flake who couldn’t handle New York and forgot to do everything. He’s the Twins’s problem now. Good riddance.
@@tdb4763 It's pronounced "triple A", not "ayyyayyyayy". Therefore "a triple A" is correct. Not "an triple A". If you're going to correct people, at least be right.
@@derekobrien5481 Both, kinda. I'm a Mets fan and he gets like this every night this season. But it's likely because he's pretty much having the worst year of his career. He needs a change of scenery, in my opinion.
What amazes me is this multi-billion-dollar sport seemingly refuses to put a few unmanned cameras pointed directly at home plate, static shot, running at 240fps. I see better slow-motion replays from literally _every other sport,_ where the ball is traveling much slower AND there are no games decided by "did this person touch this thing before this other person touched this other thing?"
@@daedalus_20v I see it clearly. I don't understand why you cant. Must be a millennial thing. I don't need triple 4k HD to see things. Foot, bag, glove, tag. It's all there in different colors. I grew up with black & white. I think my generation has better vision skills because of this. Not even trying to be insulting. I notice that kids today can't "hear or see" things unless it's constantly improved. I could see just fine 30 years ago & still don't like the newer stuff. Too much sound & fps makes it even harder to see imo.

Catchers are not allowed to block the plate anymore. If they do the runner is called safe. So they are supposed to only tag the runner. Silly new rules making it awkward for both runner and catcher. Runner can't run into catcher, to try and knock him down and the ball free but the catcher is not allowed to block the plate in any way so they are supposed to stand aside and tag them. Which means the runner is safe if the catcher blocks the plate but if the runner collides with the catch in theory he's called out... So crap like this happens.
@@JasonPotapoff This rule doesn't apply for the catcher here. It's a judgement call and when they are this dead to rights, they usually just kind of slow down and accept they're out. With Gary moving, Villar essentially said fuck it and did a last second "slide" to get under the tag. Sanchez was afraid of the contact and should be embarrassed. If he gets run into on this play, which was going to happen, Villar is still out. Embarrassing. In the end, we can all just sit back and thank Buster Posey for never learning how to block the plate properly and ruin it for everyone with his bitchy manager forcing a rule change nobody wanted.
He didn't eject them. They were on the field in anticipation of rain but the inning was still being played. Umpire just told them to get off the field during play. They weren't kicked out of the game

This is like the baseball version of turning the puck over in order to avoid being hit by an oncoming forechecker, resulting in a goal for the opposing team. I'm talking about the game of hockey, of course. Hey, no one ever said winning is easy. But you have to pay the price & do the little things in order to win.
In a softball game, as 3rd base coach I sent my 6'6" roommate Dave home, who I call the slowest non-injured teammate I've ever had. The throw beat him by a mile, Dave slid home, and the catcher tagged him up high after Dave had come to a complete stop. The ump called him out, but Dave's foot was already on home plate. I complained a little. The ump gave me a Mentos look and shrugged. We were winning by a lot, so it was more funny than frustrating.
Sanchez was clearly thinking (wrongly) that he had to get out of the baseline to “not block the plate.” Once you have the ball, you’re allowed to “block the plate” but calls have happened where the catcher drops it so he doesn’t “have possession” and the runner is automatically scored. MLB needs to clean up that rule
MLB needs to get rid of the stupid rule and go back the way it was played forever before posey ( and I like posey) had bad positioning and got himself injured
I thought this was going to be a case where the catcher tagged Villar's helmet, but the helmet was airborne and making 0 contact with his head. In that case, would the runner be safe?
Nope. In this instance the catcher has to tag the runner with the ball itself or with the hand/mitt that's holding the ball. Had this been a 'force play' - in other words, if Villar had started the play on third base with runners on first and second as well - the catcher would only have had to touch the base once he had the ball. But in a non-force situation the runner has to be tagged by the ball or by the hand that's holding the ball.
@@Powdermonkey99 The runner has right of way in the lane, unless there's a defender holding the ball, in the old rules it didn't matter so you could slide into the catcher and try and knock him out of the way, the new rules count that as inference now.
No. The only way for the runner to be out is if the catcher steps to the side and then double fist punches him in the head while holding the ball. Gary Sanchez just following proper technique.
Well I mean, you're looking at one of the absolute worst defensive catchers in all of baseball, not what the average game looks like. He's 55th out of 60 catchers at framing pitches and 35th of 54 in defense. Every sport is a waste of time if you truly want to look at it that way though. Most football and baseball games have under 20 min of "game action" while hockey and Bball are under an hour worth. I wouldn't not watch because of a bad play here and there though, that's complete nonsense.
@@173jaSon371 But here's the thing. An average NBA game only lasts 2:11. MLS games are generally about 2 hours. But baseball is about 3:15 this year. And unlike other sports where there's action most of the time, there's a whole bunch of standing around in baseball. So one is MUCH less tolerant of lazy or stupid play, because a player is called upon to do something that's actually physical a tiny percentage of the time he's on the field. Failure to run out a simple ground ball or popup, forgetting how many outs there are, and stupid plays like this catcher made are quite frequent, considering the millions these guys are paid to stand around all night. (I agree about football though. I only watch highlights.)
Sanchez had enough time to take a step or two forward. He looked scared even though trucking him would probably get a guy suspended like he got caught juicing.
Looks like Sanchez kind of pulled a Roger Dorn (from Major League). "Oh no, he's sliding in, this is going to hurt" and he ducked out of the way because he was scared. If Villar slides into the shinguard and knee presumably that's an automatic out even if he's not tagged or the ball is dropped. But Gary sidestepped so that he wouldn't have to take that hit for his pitcher and his team. Either that or he forgot what the rules were for that situation, and that might be even more embarrassing.
This statement by you is completely wrong; "If Villar slides into the shinguard and knee presumably that's an automatic out even if he's not tagged or the ball is dropped." It is not an out if the runner slides legally and the catcher does not apply a tag or drops the ball.
I watched this game on SNY. Gary Cohen commented that Villar should be safe but video replay may not overturn the call on the field. Then Keith Hernandez said "What are you thinking, Gary?" It took me a moment to figure out which Gary he was talking about.
hernandez roasted his ass. i have rewatched keith ripping sanchez at least 20 times. meanwhile the yankees announcers will never say anything bad about this lazy pos because the yankees front office coddles him.

Baseball is a game of history and accurate, comparable records and stats. I remember my grandpa telling tales of Ted Williams homers and Ricky Henderson steals being reviewed and overturned by microsecond hi-def replay. So much history, so many memories.
This may be the moment that Sanchez lands himself permanently on my shit list. I honestly don't think there's anything he can do to redeem himself now.
@@Blackout.1644 that's what I'm saying, I don't even think it matters anymore. He'd have to single-handedly carry the team, making unbelievable defensive game-saving plays and hitting 10 homers a game. I'm over him. I tried.
Kevin Kiermaier nearly pulled off the exact same stunt last night after getting a overly late stop sign and just taking his chances at the plate. Out by fraction this time, but I gotta feel like he saw this play and had it in the back of his mind when he went to slide.
Oh yeah, you are talking about the rule about the guy running at full speed expecting a collision towards the other standing still guy whose focus was on catching the ball and not getting hit becuase nobody told him he was expected to break 5 bones by the hand of a neanderthal who could simply slide 50cm to either side. I totally don't understand why that is a rule
Yeah umpiring has gotten worse since replay was added, it's like they know they can blow the call cause it will be reviewed and what's even sadder is that they still blow the calls after review.
That stupid rule of catcher not allowed to block the running lane unless he has clear controlled possession of the ball (which he did) They unofficially call it the "Posey Rule". Gary was being Gary and wasn't sure of the rule so he moved aside to tag (or made a poor attempt to). All he needed to do was slug the runner with the ball and glove and he would have got him... That reminds me of Cam Newton in Super Bowl "L" when he backed away from diving on the loose football so he wouldn't get hurt.
