I think the Phillies are lucky obstruction was not called. If you look at other plays pulling the same or similar fake, the fielder never touches the runner. The infielder did put his mitt on the runner. Was it enough to prevent him from getting back safely, no. But that is not what the rule says. Just contact.
At the time it was legal, but you can no longer fake to third and turn back towards first base. He would have had to step off the mound before making the move to third, or throw to third.
1:49 This play is actually a missed call, this play is Obstruction, the shortstop isnt allowed to touch trea turner without the ball because that could prevent the runner returning to the base
Notice how the shortstop pretends to make a tag but keeps his glove away from the runner? He only touched him after the runner was standing on the base. The rule for obstruction is, "when a fielder illegally hinders a baserunner running within the basepath". The shortstop clearly didn't hinder the runner from reaching 2nd base.
Answer me this (please) .. at "2:50" the runner is tagged by an EMPTY glove. If the glove was empty (the ball was in the tagger's other hand) ... why is he called "out"???
At 2:44 the second baseman tagged the runner with an empty glove. That runner was not tagged out at that time. The 2nd baseman had the ball in his throwing hand.
So amazing that being a grown kid ,always have had Baseball, Love you Dad for giving me the American Past time ! Thank you for the upload- Thank you Dad for coaching me!
@1:35 Both team’s uniforms look so much alike on TV. I can’t tell what’s going on! 😅 Hopefully in-person the colors appeared more different than they did on TV.
Interference is a bit of a judgement call, Florman was definitely pushing it by continuing to apply the tag, and if you're a SS, don't do that, but because Turner was essentially already out, and especially because he didn't even try to get back to first, there was little reason to call interference.
Didn't have to make the throw to third back then. And once that legal fake was made, the pitcher was just an infielder free to do anything with the ball. Did you actually think everybody on the field missed that hardly-subtle movement, only to be caught by a sharp-eyed youtube commenter years later?
@@vmb1432 the Mets still had black uniforms, they were in Shea Stadium which was demolished in 2008 to build Citi Field, and the camera quality is horrendous so yea, it’s before 2013
@Charles Steele actually the rule is that the runner must be tagged with the ball itself, the glove is the only thing that acts as an extension of the ball itself.
1:40 this was a discussion in an umpire meeting we had for our chapter. Some felt that him applying the fake tag and keep the glove on him could be considered obstruction. As a Phillies fan I told him to shut up.
At 7:00 it is interesting that both the shortstop and the second baseman were in on the deception. Also, in that same play, the white sleeve of the shortstop kind of looks like a baseball (if you're a runner and not paying close attention). Which makes me think: if I was an infielder, I would totally wear a white sweatband at my wrist to try and decieve runners.
At 2:50 in the clip, the second basemen misses the tag on the advancing runner prior to throwing to first base. Some bad umping there to call it a double play.
2:50 These guys don’t think enough about the play, before the pitch was made. What this runner should have done, if the fielder IN FRONT OF HIM has the ball, he won’t survive the tag. But he could have run backwards to avoid body-tag, delay the out for just one more second, for the batter to get safely onto first. He didn’t think before the pitch. Guy wasn’t prepared for this play.
Even in 2021, if you are playing against Molina, just stay on the base until there is a base hit or home run. The GOAT will get you nearly every time, even at 38 years old. Even recently from his knees.
Florimon touching Treat Turner while not having the ball is obstructions and should have been awarded the bag or a return to 1st. These are the days without replay and these are the things that turned a game.
did anyone else notice the guy tagged out as part of a double play, the second baseman kept the ball in his throwing hand and tagged him with an empty glove, is that legit?
This Check 3rd then throw to 1st move is NOW illegal circa 2017ish. But it was legal then. I would also hear arguments that he really didn't step to 3rd deliberately and was therefore a balk.
After seeing videos like this which have older SD broadcast games vs the newer HD games, no wonder people wanted to see the games in person back then. Just the difference in the color brilliance is amazing. But then again this is coming from someone that grew up in the 80s, was never interested in baseball and was always seeing my father watch baseball on the 28" or 30" console TV my family had. :)
@@bakinncrafts7899 When this game was played, it was legal to fake to third base. This is the famous 3rd to 1st move. It is now illegal to fake to third base.
When they got a double play bc he tagged the runner going to 2 and then threw to 1 if you look closer he didn’t tag the runner with the ball he tagged the runner with his glove
That is one of the things I was gonna say. Theres a few things they should of called but missed. Its funny that certain things only get called against they visiting team or the home team but never both. I don't believe for a single second that every ump calls every game completely fair. I do believe that depending on who the umpire(s) are will determine the game.
@@tmo4590 I thought that was starting the pitching motion, I didn't realize it a fake was towards third. That makes sense. Thank you for the explanation!
7:30 - Every Minnesotan knows this play. It was the game 7 of the World Series fake. It was zero-zero in the eight. If Atlanta had scored they most likely would have won. Instead the game went scoreless to 10 innings when Gene Larkin finally drove a run in. I have his autograph somewhere!
1:15 is a perfect example of why baseball is stupid. Umpires will literally call a balk when the pitcher blinks, but they don't call that full windup a balk??
Prisoners would bring a better game. They are great at, stealing, fighting, lying and arguing, all of which are crucial in being a great baseball player. Guess that's why The Longest Yard was such a good movie.
1:45 the shortstop faked a tag, and touched him. So by rule he should be called for interference and idk if that means the runner is safe, but I think Turner should be able to stay at second.

Turner: "Am I out?"
Flormon: "Not yet... Now you are."
My first thought was Justin Turner so I kept backing it up to see what I missed.

Not interference, but also not a tag out.
