When runners are bing forced to a base or a runner is gonig to first base the fielder only has to tag the base, This is called a force out. But if a runner is not being forced to the base by a runner behind him the fielder has to tag the runner's body with the ball.
3:37 So the runners will take what's called a leadoff, they'll be a few steps off the base to cheat toward the next one, to get a head start. So sometimes, instead of throwing to home plate, the pitcher will quickly step off the mound and throw to first (or second on occasion) to tag them out (a "pickoff attempt" it's often called), or at least to discourage them from getting a head start or stealing while he's pitching. In this specific instance, Baez, the runner on third base, makes an EXTREMELY bold decision and steals home plate the instant he sees the pitcher is making a pick off attempt. It's an impressive display of reaction time, speed, and just absolute guts on his part.
It was a double steal of some kind that was signaled. 1st base to steal to draw the throw to 2nd OR, as it turned out they tried to pickoff 1st, while the guy at third goes home.
6:59 Yeah I don't blame you at all for being confused on this one, there's WAY too much happening here lol.
1. So when the hitter pokes at the ball like that it's called a "bunt" and yeah, generally they do it in order to move a runner up a base to where they can score more easily on the next hit. It's generally a sacrifice by the hitter, although some of the speedsters can occasionally get to first before the throw does if they can aim it to the right place. However, the hitter messed it up really badly here, you NEVER want to bunt the ball into the air, because if it's caught, the runner can't advance.
2. Things start to get insane here, because the runner sees that the ball is in the air, and assumes the first baseman is going to catch it, so he moves back toward first base.
3. The first basemen then BRILLIANTLY realizes this, so he doesn't catch it. He lets it drop. So now with the ball not being caught in the air, the batter has to advance to first, meaning the runner on first, instead of being obligated to go back to first on a catch, is now obligated to vacate first base for the hitter, and run to second.
4. The first baseman picks up the ball and runs to first and steps on the base, so the batter is out. Now the runner, who has been thoroughly confused, is trapped between first and second, and they quickly corral him and tag him for a second out.
Confusing, I know. I played baseball since I was five and even I had to watch that play six times to figure out everything that was happening :). Simply put, the first baseman had an easy chance to get the hitter out by catching it before it hit the ground, but decided to take a more sneaky approach by letting it drop in order to confuse the runner, and as a result he got both of them.
Thanks again for explaining another clip for me that now makes complete sense (i had to watch multiple times while reading your comment lol) just goes to show how much thinking you have to do on the fly playing this game
Guess it wasn't high enough to call the infield fly rule. That was pretty smart on Rizzo's part.
@@filipinowhiteboy Rizzo is a smart player!
@@filipinowhiteboy When he lett it drop I was thinking wtf...infield fly.
7:54 Right, so here the shortstop simply needs to stay focused and throw the ball to first to get the easiest out, simply getting the ball to first base before the hitter gets there. But the runner on second cleverly moves toward him, just enough to make the shortsop think "wait maybe I can just tag this guy instead?" He quickly dives back to second safely, and it's too late to the throw to first, so they get no one out. Shortstop hangs his head there cuz he knows the runner at second tricked him, just that slight hesitation was all it took to buy the batter running to first time.
Oh i see now that makes sense thanks for explaining
I'm beginning to suspect these highlights were made by a Cubs fan lol.
Some of these are only noteworthy if you know the background behind it. At about the ten minute mark, the fella (David Ortiz) who walks towards first before the pitch is even delivered is doing this because he was a heavy home run hitter and he knows he will get nothing to hit. Tie ballgame in the bottom of the seventh, runner on first, Cubs would rather walk him and face the next batter than risk him scoring two with a home run. The pitch zone graphic shows that the first three pitches in this at bat were all balls that weren't even close to the strike zone. Ortiz knew the fourth wouldn't be close or hittable, so he didn't even wait for the pitch. He was disgusted that they wouldn't pitch to him.
08:13 A ''deke" is short for "decoy." Basically fooling another player into thinking something else is happening. In this case, the 2nd base runner dekes the shortstop by faking starting a run to third, making the shortstop hesitate, and miss his opportunity to throw the batter out at first. Most of the dekes I've seen (and the funniest ones) are from the defense, with say a baseman dekeing a runner who's made it to a base by faking a throw back to the pitcher or another base, acting relaxed whilst retaining the ball and then tagging the runner if he steps off the bag.
Just remember its always a force when the next batter would occupy the base you are on with a hit or if all the bases behind you are occupied with runners. If you are forced to move forward, the force play is on. If you have an empty base behind you, you are not obligated to move forward, thus a tag play is required. Put another way, if it's your choice to move forward, its always a tag play. Thus the stolen base is always a tag play because the batter isn't even involved.
My favorite team is the Atlanta Braves, been a Braves fan since 1986. We're having an amazing year!
Players do not do it anymore, but you should checkout baseball fights (bench-clearer: because every player gets involved, so the benches in the dugout clear out).
Rizzo (#44) is a brilliant player! He was the one who orchestrated two outs on the previous play! I know it's been several months but CUBS RULE! And Rizzo was a Cub then!
I think the difference with the touching the base with ball in mitt vs. having to tag the runner out is due to whether or not the base runner is being forced to run or not. If you’re on first base and the ball is hit you are forced to run to second. In that case you can be out just by the opposing player having their foot on second base. If you are running to second not by force (such as with a steal attempt) then it’s required that the defense tag you with their glove. It’s not enough in that situation just to have a foot on the bag.
6:57 This is called a bunt. The hitter basically stabs at the ball to put it in play. It's usually done as a tactical move, an attempt to move runners who are on the bases. also -- players who are fast runners will sometimes bunt in an attempt to get a hit. If they put the ball in play in just the right location they can take advantage of the defense and make it to 1st base before the throw. Bunting is a lost art but it's making a comeback.
Thanks for the explanation i finally got a guess right lol
@@ChatwinReacts This particular example was very complicated. Normally, that type of intentionally missing the catch to get a double play happening in the infield wouldn't be allowed and would result in an infield fly ruling causing the batter to be out regardless of whether the ball is caught. But since this was a bunt, that rule doesn't apply. A sacrifice bunt is a play designed to let the batter be put out trying to reach 1st in order to move another play, ideally one from third to home. It is hard to bunt well, and it always has a high degree of risk. But it is exciting to watch.
I appreciate these videos, you should do a split-screen with someone who knows the game, so that you can get your questions answered while you watch
Thats a good idea ill look into that
You have to tag the runner if there isn`t a man on the base that the runner previously vacated.
Force outs, are where you just have to tag the base holding the ball (and not the runner), would be 1st base only or have a man on the base "behind" the lead runner, because you can`t have two men on one base. All other times you must tag the man.
These are complex plays that might be difficult for a beginner to understand. By the way, only home plate is referred to as a plate. The rest are bases. 1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base.
there is a difference between and out and a force out. to get a running out normally you have to tap him with the glove and the ball must be in the glove. However if the player Must run to the next base you can get them out Via the force out but simply having the ball and touching the base. so if there is a runner on first and the ball is hit to an infielder they can throw the ball to second base then another player catches it and touches the base. because the runner on 1st must run to second to make room for the hitter to get to first base. however if there is a player on second and the ball is hit to an infielder the runner on second can stay there because there is room for the hitter on first. the runner on second could also run to third at that point you would have to tag him because he is not being forced to run to the next base.
There are reviews, each team gets one challenge. If they win the challenge, they retain the use of it for another challenge later. If they lose the challenge, they can't challenge again for the remainder of a normal nine inning game. However, if the game goes into extra innings because of a tie score, the teams get extra challenges. Not all plays are reviewable (for example, ball and strike calls by the umpire cannot be challenged.)
Welcome back! Glad I caught your video before I leave work in a couple of hours!
MLB is halfway through the season. All-Star break just ended - celebrity softball game, Home Run Derby & All-Star Game (American League v National League)
You should watch the channel called baseball doesn’t exist about the 2023 season so far.
A bunt is when you hold the bat parallel and allow the ball to strike it so that you get a weak contact hit. Teams do this sometimes because if the batter is very fast, it may get him on base, or it can be a way to advance one of your runners if the bunt puts the ball in a difficult place for the fielders. Note that there's a special rule for foul balls with bunts. Whereas you normally cannot get a third strike on ball hit foul, if you were bunting instead of swinging and your bunt goes foul, it's a strike always.
8:57 - the pitcher is trying to intentionally walk the batter by pitching well outside of the strike zone. So far outside that the catcher is standing well away from the plate. However, the batter swung at the ball anyway and hit it, and the fielders were not prepared as a result. This kind of thing doesn't happen anymore though because now a pitcher can signal his desire to intentionally walk to the umpire and not need to throw the four pitches for balls manually.
The first, and maybe best thing you can do I think to ease your confusion on baseball is to find a good video that explains "force outs." It's a complicated rule in baseball to be sure, but 90% of what the runners and defenders do is dictated by that concept.
Ill check one out thanks for the suggestion
ok that one with the letting it drop is a good example of the the other comment i made.. read that comment and then watch that clip again and you see the genius in that play
you were correct my friend your comment helped with that clip just shows how quick you have to think while playing this game something I'm learning about this game
You may have picked this up eventually, but when the official motions with a closed fist, that is signalling and "out". When the hands, palm down, are spread from the center out, that is signalling 'safe". They can be used in related contexts where it isn't actually 'safe' or 'out', but the gist will always be something like 'bad' and 'good'. For example, when the home plate umpire asks for a consult on a checked swing, the closed fist will be shown by the other umpire to mean it was a swing and the safe sign will be shown to mean it was not a swing. This is true even if a missed swing wouldn't result in an out.
they have reviews but its a new thing only the last few years so it depends on the year of the clip if thy have review
So whoever made the video you're reacting to is clearly a Cubs fan, because a lot of those "insane" moments weren't that insane, just decent plays made by Cubs players.
Now you say it i can see where your coming from and as a new Cubs fan i love it haha
The situation with tagging a runner or the base is kind of a weird thing to get at first. If the ball's put in play by the batter the force play is an option where the a fielder just has to beat the runner to the base with the ball, or they throw it to a fielder covering that base. Once a runner reaches the base they are forced to advance to, they have the option to advance more bases, and at *that* point once they're beyond the base they're forced to advance to, a tag is in order to get the runner out
If there's a baserunner on First base for example, that runner HAS to advance to second base if the batter puts it into play and it hits the ground before a fielder can catch it. (which is what happened in those plays of the fielder letting the ball drop and letting them get multiple runners out).
If there are runners on First and Second, both of those runners currently on base are forced to advance.
A last example if there's a runner on First and Third, the only runner forced to advance is the runner on the first. The runner on Third can make the choice to run or not. In this case the First Base Runner and the Batter have the force play in order but the runner on third would have to be tagged.
It can be really confusing at first to try to understand, but it's just the way a lot of Baseball's rules are. It gets a lot easier to understand the more you watch, but it can be a bit of a barrier to entry with all of Baseball's weird situational nonsense
Thanks for explaining this is gunna be one of those things i will learn while watching as you said loving learning about this game so far
You have to tag a runner to get them out if they aren't required to reach that base. For example, a runner stealing second base isn't required to go to second, he's choosing to, so you need to tag him. A runner headed to first because he just hit the ball is required to go to first, so you can just touch the base while having the ball.
Baseball season is coming mate, prepare lol
Runners can “steal” bases, so that’s what happened when the guy ran home even though his teammate had not hit the ball. The pitcher threw to 1st base to get the runner out there, so the guy on 3rd base ran to steal home plate and score a run. I hope that makes sense. There’s a guy named Coach Dan Blewett. He was a professional pitcher. He has a great video on the rules of baseball on his TH-cam channel. You should check it out.
Thanks for explaining ill check out his channel thanks for the suggestion
baseball not so serios series is awesome
Jeez, this was a meh video. There are so many better ones: Laser infield throws, Best Outfield Throws, Most Acrobatic Plays, Worst Home Plate Collisions, Umpires Being Injured With Bat or Ball, etc
I’ll check them out as-well
1. Baseball get more simple the more you watch it
2. If you watched more baseball, you would under stand it (hint hint)
