- Major League Baseball has some weird sets of rules. And sometimes situations happens that stump the fan, and even the ump. Are you smarter than that?

I am officially Angel Hernandez
Hershey90 I same😂
Don't put yourself down like that buddy. No one can possibly be as bad as Angel Hernandez.
Hershey90 Same
If you can tell the difference between a ball and a strike you’re not Angel Hernandez
The catcher at the very start
😂😂
Baseball's 250 years old? Hope you meant 150.
Lol i must have been trippin when i did the math
Ben Rall no it IS 250
baseball lover 21 no it isnt lmao
baseball lover 21 1871 was the first year of the national association, which later was revamped into the national league. so its actually 147 years
yeah i was like 250? did imis something.
#5 happened exactly in a D2 game I attended two years ago at the University of Montevallo. It was the weirdest thing because the umps called one thing instantly, then after a coach complained and then a long talking, the umps went back to their locker room for around 20 minutes to discuss, check the rules, make a phone call, and eventually came back to call interference. It was the most bizarre thing I've seen.
I've seen the first situation happen a few times actually, not specifically but seen 1st and 3rd where the runner at third tags and the runner at first gets thrown out at second or third depending on where the ball is
#4:
You could make an argument both ways. The run scores because he crossed home before it hit him. On the flipside, he could be out for interference, not scoring the run. Judgment call, and I would go to New York about this one.
No, the runner would not be out for interference.
I love this! I've literally looked for videos exactly like this for years!
The thumbnail tho
Underwater cartoon organism
I’ve worked many games as an umpire and thankfully my I knowledge paid off I went 4/5. #4 stumped me because the run, based off what I know, should’ve scored taking the game to 2 - 1 and ending it.
Rule 7.09 is interesting and could actually play into games much more than we think. Imagine runners in the corners with nobody out. The batter strikes out on a drop third strike and runs to first, catcher freaks out and throws to first illogically, it goes over the first baseman’s head and the run scores.
Do more of these they’re great!
This is great make more of these
So I got # 4 wrong, I really would've thought the runner scoring before the strike, and subsequent out was called would've counted.
TheJeffreyJJones same. I thought that would be interferencw
TheJeffreyJJones I
4/5
it would have depended on what the batter runner does. since there were two outs he can take first base because the third strike could not have been a caught third strike and with two outs it would be a live ball
Also the count was 1-1 so if the strike was called the count would move too 1-2 and the run would count so his question doesn’t make any sense
I got 2/5, but I knew the last one since I've seen a video about that before
I watch a lot of baseball vids. There's a channel that does little league videos called MJH-Baseball that I love, as he likes to posit questions like this, and then explain the rules both for LL and how it differs from MLB. Great channel, always interesting.
But... I was still impressed with how obscure the scenarios in this vid were. Only got a couple right.
Guess I need to watch more videos...
Christopher C. Cooper thanks man. I went for super obscure, easy is boring :)
I’m 3 years late, but this video is really cool. I’ve always wanted to test myself on baseball knowledge
4.5/5 I called the last runner safe so I'll give myself half a point since I didn't get it being up to the ump
Aarik Long same
Aarik Long I gave "well was he purposefully doing it? Cause I could see it either way really. I'd probably say safe, but out if it was clearly intentional..." then that was the answer.
I missed the one about the ball bouncing off the rubber for some reason.
Same but it's always up to the ump
The role stated that the act of continuing up run alone is not interference, therefore it's not. Don't know where he got the idea that it's up to the ump. Yes, every call is, but that one had a specific clause covering it. It would be interference if the runner intentionally did it, but judging by how he abandoned effort when the catcher got the ball, more than likely he thought he was safe.
Being an umpire,I have a unique view on this interference call. Especially since at all other levels, the rule governing this situation is far more specific: if a runner, already out, continues to run the bases and causes the defense to make a play on him, it shall be interference.
It's only MLB that gives the offense a way out of the interference. However, once the runner drew a throw to home, he went to the dugout and this clearly makes me think he knew he was already out and was deliberately attempting to draw the attention of the defense. If it was unintentional, here would've continued to try and avoid the tag or waited to be tagged out. It's still judgement at the MLB level and many factors like on body language are used to determine intent.
Welp, I got 4/5 correct. That last one stumped me real good. Great vid, FivePoints.
You should make more of these!
As an umpire I loved this man thank you!
Thanks man!!!!!!
Hi. As an umpire, I am wondering if you can solve a baseball riddle. In the bottom of the third inning, a pitcher strikes out the side and the catcher throws a runner out at third. How is that possible?
@@kenshiloh dropped third strike on on of the first two batters, and they steal second and attempt it again at third
6:30 - that was humiliating! What could've been even more humiliating is the Astros got Fisher (pinch-running for Brian McCann) on 2nd with no outs, and then choked the next 2 outs. A catch would've ended the 10th inning.
Outstanding Mr. Fivepoints. Coudn't imagine the work that went into this.
This one took longer than normal - 12-15 hours :)
FivePoints Vids God bless the internet!
Love the vid idea
Dude make these for other sports, this is great!
Baseball is my 1st love and I THOUGHT I knew all the rules. I only got 1 rite. Please make more of those vids
QUESTION 4 THREW ME OFF. HE CALLED A STRIKE SO IT'S AN OUT.
Got all five right, though using a different rule citation for #4.
As a sidenote, the rule for #5 happens to have just been amended. It now says "a runner continuing to advance OR RETREAT after having been called out" to address a play from a Yankees/Red Sox game last year.
Never clicked on a video faster then right now
#2- Shortened version of a longer post below: this is an *appeal play*, not a *force play*. Since the runner at third preceded the runner at first, and he touched home before the appeal resulted in the third out, the run scores.
I love the naked gun references
I swear I have nearly the exact same footage of Morales from MLB the show, except he was with the Mariners.
Got all but the 3rd right and it’s only be I didn’t understand the question....too much info beforehand. Not too bad AND I LOVE the Astros video @ the end!!! That has to be one of the greatest errors of all time!!
I really like this video!!👍👍👍
Got them all. I didn't know why but just watching them I would've known.
I kind of want to know what you think of Shohei Ohtani so far. I remember you mentioning him in one of your videos about rules and think it’d be cool if you like came back to update your thoughts on that
2:28 Correction, force outs only happen when the runner is complied to run by the batter becoming a runner. You can advance all day by stealing, but that's not a force because you're not compiled to run.
Minor correction: I believe the word you want is "compelled."
Got the first four correct but I called the last one as not being interference as the runner left to return to the dugout instead of trying to get home and interfering with the catcher.
I got the first 4 right and I have no idea about the last one. That was a complete mindf**k.
you get the last one right by default :)
I didn’t entirely get the last one because I was confused on where the runners were at on the play.
I did miss the 2nd one... I feel dumb since i thought i knew the runner rule lol. but i agreed with the umps on 5 so that was interesting.
I got all right except the second one. I had that right originally but then I changed my mind because I thought failing to tag out was also considered a force play
3-5. Very good questions man!
At 5 I say it depends because they could have lapped the teammate, or just been confused and their teammates already scored, A means out, B means safe
Figured out number four by concluding that the umpire would've just called the runner safe and left if the game was over lol.
As a royals fan that hosmer clip made me happy
perfect score. looks like i can keep my umpiring job
YOU ARE THE REAL HERO
5/5, assuming that making the same call as the actual umpire did is counted as correct for #5. Personally I would have a hard time calling an out on runner interference in #5, because who would the third out apply to? It can't be the runner from first because he was already out, so it would have to be the batter. But the whole point of calling interference is to try to revert the play to how it would have progressed if not for the interference (at least in spirit), and even without the interference, the batter wouldn't have been out--he probably would have ended up safe at second or third after the throwing error.
If say the batter was in danger of getting in a run down then it would be seen as interference, or if it looked as if the runner’s ploy was the key factor in the batter advancing to third. If the batter was already on third when it happened then there is no decision to be made. Inning continues.
Since it's all hypothetical, it's hard to have a clear visual but I would probably have put the batter-runner at second since he most likely advanced to third on the throw home from the first-baseman which would not have happened if the runner on first had exited the field like he should have.
I got the first four right. In the last scenario, someone's gonna be mad at you whatever you call, but I would put the batter-runner back on second for interference by the runner, because had the runner returned to the dugout immediately, the first baseman would have thrown to third, preventing the batter-runner from advancing.
I’m becoming a little league umpire, but they made us study the MLB rule book. And this almost kinda ruined this because I knew all of them.
I got all right beside the fact that the one call could be what ever it got pretty hard though good vid
Thanks!!
A play kinda similar to the last one happened fairly recent in a Red Sox/Yankees game. Jacoby Ellsbury is the batter with Matt Holliday on first. Ellsbury hits it sharply to Mitch Moreland at first base. Moreland fields and throws to second to force out Holliday. However, Holliday, thinking Moreland stepped on first before throwing to second, assumed he was in a rundown and ran back to second where he, Ellsbury, Moreland, and the ball all arrived at the same time. The ball got by Moreland and, if I remember right, Ellsbury was safe, since Holliday didn't intentionally interfere
In little leauge i got tagged out at 2nd and just kept running to third but to go back to the dugout they call me out of the baseline and it was a double play i got basically suspended because i called the ump an idiot and that i could do his job better because i wouldnt call the same person out twice
The umpire also got it wrong saying you went "out of the baseline", that's a different concept entirely. If he thought you were still alive, then the call he's looking for is abandoning the bases.
For #5 I've got interference by a retired runner, ball is dead, batter-runner is out for interference by his teammate. I consider continuing to advance past 2nd, 3rd, turning and heading for home to be a deliberate attempt to confuse the defense.
You got such a great voice for this, are you/where you a radio host or something of that kind”””””?; no homo
Ryan Hachey he kinda is now
Thanks man, every youtuber is usually self conscious about their voice, so validation like this is important. MUCH APPRECIATED!
Ryan Hachey no homo?
Ryan Branigan yeah I didn’t think that way
#5 the play is clean. Since the batter was already out, and also started heading to the dugout before the catcher tagged him, he would be out for leaving the baseline anyway meaning the catcher did not HAVE to tag him so he did it on his own. Play is fine batter goes to 3rd
I'm an umpire so 4 out of 5 aint bad lol. The 4th one stumped me as ive never seen anything like that happen. The last one, depends on how much of a pain in the ass the "interfering" has been or the team for that matter, for the duration of the game 😂😂 as to whether I'm calling obstruction or not 😂😂
6:28 Haha I was watching that game good ending to the video
The one I didn’t know was the pitching rubber being a deflected foul. That would suck being the batter...
Damn, I got them all right... Even the last one.
#fake news. Lol jk good job man
So, yeah.... On the 4th one, I figured since then run scored before the pitch got to the place, it was over. Guess not.
Glad to know that in case if it ever happens (which now, knowing how obscure rules go... Since I've seen it played out, it'll happen. Usually during that season, too.)
Also, more of these riddles, please. That was fun.
First one kinda happened this year, Devin Marrero on the Dbacks got a HR taken away after he passed the runner on first who was tagging up
what a dumbass
Good thing Jimmy Piersall played in the 50s. The modern day pitchers are so whiny they bean a batter for flipping a bit. They'd have a seizure dealing with a guy running the bases backwards.😂
Bases loaded, tie game, bottom of the last inning. Batter hits what would otherwise be a ground rule double. Assuming all of the runners touch the bases, does the home team win by one or two runs?
Yes
There is a situation that happened at a rangers game. There was a runner on third. It was after the pitch was thrown and it was ruled a strike. On the throw back from the catcher to the pitcher, the ball hit the batters helmet and amongst the confusion the runner scored. It counted and was ruled a live ball. You could use this as another question
I umpire minor ball and I would call interference on #5. Umpires are supposed to apply the interference rules when the interference alters the play. Even if R1 in this instance did not know he was out and had no intention of deceiving the fielders, it is still interference; intent is not a requirement. R1's actions allowed the batter-runner to advance to third. The batter-runner is out for the interference of a runner who has already been put out. Rule 6.01(a)(5)
Softball has its differences, but it also has a lot of similarities, so as a former umpire, I was able to get 4 out of 5.
I got one out of five. Glad I never became an umpire... LOL
On #4 since it hit his back and the catcher didn’t catch it would it be considered a drop 3rd strike? The catcher didn’t catch it, but it his back. I’m confused
OrangeSuperJ I was a little confused by this one too. If a hitter is, “hit square in the back,” how is that called a strike unless the batter is straddling the plate? If the batter swung to protect/interfere with the catcher catching the pitch, it can be called a strike and the batter is out with a dropped third strike.
Goes from baby’s first riddle to obscure as hell real quick
5/5 umpiring school paid off huh
"So you think you know baseball?" I hope so bc i played 7 years and i am an umpire for youth league
Posting just to give props to my man Paste!!! Best 1B Jersey ever had.
Followed in the order by my man Bay!
Tag out can be an advancing base as well
What if the batter for the away team hits the ball over the fence, but the mascot for the home team throws it back on the field? Is it a home run?
Got em all, 4 almost got me tho, I just guessed😂😂
5/5 Heck yeah
4 is incorrect. If the pitch hit the runner that stole, then it would have been a drop third strike because the catcher ever caught it giving the batter the opportunity to run to first.
I always wondered about a runner who didn't tag up and was the third out.
5/5 there were really good
I met Piersall in 1994. He said it was fun but he got in trouble.
Please do this with every sport
Can you make one of these for nfl and nba
4 our of 5. I even got number right knowing that it was judgement. The only one I got wrong was about the ball hitting the pitch in g rubber. That's a little odd to me.
Number 4:. When the catcher failed to catch the third strike, the batter became a runner. Unless they tag him or get the force at 1st, the run scores. Unless the ump calls the runner for interference with a thrown ball. But, since it hit him in the back, it's possible the pitch never passed through the strike zone. Great question!
Great point! But since the ump called it a strike that solved it. As i read the ump is obligated to call the pitch a ball or a strike in the situation that is hits a runner.
Unless it was deemed that the runner intentionally interfered with the pitcher, like say if he ran directly to the mound or something lol
Got #4 wrong, great video
No way. I went to that astros padres game. It was 0-0 in the tenth and we were all wondering if anyone would finally score. Then it ended the way a littlw league game would
4 out of 5 the last one was unheard of
Wait so that rule implies a runner on third base can steal home. Be declared safe. Return to the dugout but then batter strikes out and because he didn't reach first the steal didn't happen?
Loved it! Got everything right! Huge baseball fan here!
Ps Go Yankees!
good job man !
Thanks!
Sport illustrated kids didn’t do nothing for me like if you did the right call thing at the end of the magazine
I got a stumper for you. First and second, 1 out. Runners go on the pitch, hitter bats one into the outfield. Outfielder throws home and gets the lead runner in the rundown. During the rundown, the other runner runs to third, and stays. The lead runner safely returns to third. Both runners are tagged. Given that they technically never overran each other, who's out and who's safe?
I believe the runner returning to his base us safe (on third) and the runner who came from second is out.
Kevin Durant, such a great mvp he even made it in a MLB trivia.
The 2nd one we witnessed last night with the Yankees and Angels.
I should've said that it happened last Friday night, because I wasn't physically at the game. ua-cam.com/video/K-rm43xLcX0/v-deo.html&feature=onebox
I got everything right, the 4th one has actually happened in one of my games.
#5 is confusing but I understand it now.
#5 made my head hurt( Didn't something like #4 happen in the infamous Rangers/Blue Jays game?
I only got 2 right. I never got the rest of the rules since I haven't seen them in play. But damn are they curious to see.
1:38 😆
I got all of them and I'm not lying. I watch baseball everyday and I'm awesome at it too.
Aiden Lopez alright showboat
Damn I only got #4 wrong. My thought was "He touched home and scored, the game is over and nothing after that matters." like if a football runner fumbles in the endzone. He scored, the play is over.
Here's an ideo for a video for you. What would happen if every NFL team finished the season 0-0-16?
Furry Mike Nothing because that is entirely impossible
It would prolly go to a coin toss if all the tiebreakers were unsuccessful, which is like points scored and things of that nature
Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed. Which CAN possibly break the tie, despite every team being at 0 net points.
Furry Mike
ua-cam.com/video/U1xhVJzF144/v-deo.html
no it isnt 0-0-16 means you tie in evry game
