2:25 “Trevor Steven”… yankee fans so bitter about not protecting him for the rule 5 draft that they pretend not to know how to pronounce his name… it’s not even spelled the way Curry spells it! Thanks for the free arm, guys, we’ll be enjoying Stephan/“Steven” through at least 2028.
@James Graves agreed. I hate to be the guy, but MLB having a salary cap may not be a terrible idea... The amount the Yankees, Dodgers, etc spend each year to be JUUUUST a little better than teams that spend so much less is crazy
@Remy Barton yeah it's insane. I hated watching that series last year with the Guardians v Yankees. The Guardians have so much to be proud of and I just can't fathom how both fans and players of the Yankees and other big teams feel any sense of pride. There's something to be said about a developed TEAM that just happens to succeed while their pieces are under contract. I get a lot of enjoyment out of watching the As or Mariners v Guardians because they're similar markets and they're just clubs I don't mind seeing do well
@1:45, spot right on. The player needs to know and understand the rules to use them in their advantage and in this case it might have even made a big difference. Seattle's defensive plays last year were one of the elements that got them to the playoffs.
Guards off to a quick 4-1! They have a few breakdowns in them already! Including Karinchak getting rocked after the pitch clock violation in the opener.
please do a breakdown of Jeff McNeil complaining about the field/grass at yesterday's Mets-Brewers game! he slid trying to make a play and got caught in the turf and tumbled, leaving divots. afterwards, he was yelling about the field for an extended time. would be a great lip-reading
I want to be concerned with this start but the Guardian's are legit this year, time for the pitchers to get their stuff together because we definitely don't have a powerhouse offense.
Funny thing is I reckon after the missed throw to 1st base at 0:45 if the outfielder throws it back to 1st to put a tag on the runner, he might have got called for starting a turn to 2nd, inning over. Instead the fielder throws a pointless late throw to 3rd and missed the opportunity.
@@Singularity8 Yeah, that's what I mean, would the umpire have given that out or not. I think he would have because of how strict they are on any movement of the body to the left.
It’s crazy how they all look the same from release u til about halfway to the plate, THEN it breaks…. And you have to judge that at 85-100 mph? Absolute insanity.
Over the last few days of watching baseball news I thought the guardians were an expansion team. Turned out that it's Cleveland!! I suppose the name Indians were insulting to the Indians of this country? OK, let's forget that Indians ever existed.
Honestly that whole runner in the baseline thing would easily be solved with the foul line bag on the other side. Plus less injuries where guys step on one another. That pitch mix is why baseball is insanely hard
Everybody knows about Clase & Karinchak but the secret weapons out the Guardians pen are Stephan, Sandlin, De Los Santos & now the rookie lefty specialist Tim Herrin. Once Hentges get back Cleveland will have two very good lefty specialists, 3 great stoppers (Karinchak, Stephan, Sandlin) & the best closer in baseball. Eli Morgan the long relief guy closed the game out last night. De Los Santos is true mid reliever that can also pitch in high leverage situations. This bullpen is sick
The moment got to him! He is taught inside or outside, it's a inside throw all day he skip that throw cause he thought about the throw he wasn't fully committed on that throw. Baseball is a mental game.
One little caveat with the interference rule at 1B is that if the runner is on 1B when they get hit by the ball, even if they ran on the fair territory grass the whole way, it's not interference because the runner is allowed 1B. It's why interference wasn't called in that famous "Knoblauch yells at the ump" play against Cleveland back in the day - the ball hit the runner while the runner was occupying 1B, which they are allowed to do (the ump COULD HAVE ruled that him running in the grass was the reason the interference occured, he had that option, but the ump clearly never though that running in the grass caused any sort of interference). - Basically saying that if the runner ran in the legal running lane to 1B, he still would have been hit by the throw.
It's not that you need to throw to hit the runner, rather that you throw to make the play as if the runner isn't there. If he's inside the path and it hits him, you get the interference call, and if it misses him you still make the play.
Might be the pause points of the video, but pitcher appears to tip his pitches. His glove angle is different on the fastball and change-up then the slider. Noticed it after the first slider, knew it wasn't a slider coming on the change but thought it'd be a fastball, then the 3-2 fastball knew it was coming.
That should still be INT. The batter-runner was clearly not in the marked path that starts 45' from the base, and the catcher had to alter his throw because of that.
that throw from cal bounced just the slightest bit back towards the runner and the baseline. looked like ty got a little of a middle hop and couldn't account for the little change in direction and it cost them. tough way to lose a game
You absolutely throw it at the runner if the runner is off the baseline. No question at all. Never at the head or feet. Back of knees to the to top of the numbers.
why aren't more 1st basemen left handed? it seems to be more beneficial to teams since the glove is on the inside of the field more than on the outside. But there has to be a definite reason they choose right handed 1st basemen i just don't know why when the third basemen is usually right handed and not left handed.
1:00 ** "out of the baseline?" Or did he think he was in the baseline and that's why he didn't throw at him. Kinda seemed like he didn't exit the line until the catcher was already going for it. Regardless, not a great throw, but a very makeable play.
"out of the baseline" only applies to tag attempts, the relevant rule here is Runner's Lane Interference basically, the runner has to run in the lane to the right of the first baseline all the way until the last step. If the runner does so, then they can't be called for interference if they do not, as with Naylor, they *can* be called for interference, BUT (here's the kicker) they can only be called for interfering with the *catch*, not with the throw. That's why catchers should generally throw at the runner if they see him with a foot outside the foul line. If the ball hits the runner, that proves he interfered with the catch
General Jomboy. I beg you to help in the struggle against the Mariner's dance. I regret that I even as an M's fan am still unhappy when they win because I know they're going to do that stupid dance. I think a breakdown could be vital to our chances of survival. You must see a breakdown about saving our energy, developing a killer mentality, and not celebrating small victories and inevitably losing the war. You're my only hope.
I’m fairly certain the ball doesn’t actually have to hit the runner, it’s my understanding that the umpire can call the runner out for base path violation regardless of what happens
Really shows how analytics are changing the game. Didn't even bother with anything other than the inside FB. I see it all the time with RHP against RHB, can't get nothing past him, 99/100 they will chase the down and away slider if they aren't disciplined.
Great video, but is anyone else noticing the high-pitched humm/buzz in the background of the entire video? sounds like some kind of audio artefact or something, but it started giving me a headache with headphones on.
Let’s get a breakdown for the Brewers Mets game. They had a military fly over for their opening day game at home but the dome was closed no one could see it 😂
Isn't it that a baseline was established by the runner so long as that was his original path as he left home plate, and would only be called interference if the runner deliberately deviates from that line onto the path of the throw?
i love the overlapping of the pitches really puts it into perspective how hard it is to be a pro hitter
