Hi! Youth umpire here, and here's my take on these plays: 0:06 Definitely a balk. No way around it. 0:23 No interference; the runner is in their lane. 0:40 Nope. Instant ejection in the league I work in. 1:00 Safe -- forced off the bag. 1:20 Why is this a question? The runner punched the guy, and depending on the situation I might award a double play here. 1:35 Balk. 100% -- only two legal positions (set & wind-up), you can't mix em 2:00 Contact is irrelevant here -- this is a judgment call on whether the guy would have made it. I call no interference based on where he's running. 2:20 & 2:30 Yeah, you can't do that. 2:45 As much as I like Cueto and the 2015 Royals, no way. He looked like he was delivering to home. I would call a balk, and ball four (as a balk with no runners on is an automatic ball) 3:10 Judgment call, and I agree 3:25 Legal, and the ball is live. 3:40 Judgment call, and I disagree: Obstruction is "the act of a fielder who, while not in possession of the ball and not in the act of fielding the ball, impedes the progress of any runner." That third baseman was not fielding the ball in my opinion. 4:00 Interference: BR is out and the ball is dead. 4:25 Definitely close, but I think he's out... not in the lane. 4:30 Interference, both are out. 4:50 Literally the poster-child of obstruction 5:10 Judgment call... on the one hand fielder got shoved, on the other the guy shouldn't have been standing there... safe at third. 5:35 Judgment call... interference 5:54 No interference: 6.03(a)(3) "If a batter strikes at a ball and misses and swings so hard he carries the bat all the way around and, in the umpire's judgment, unintentionally hits the catcher or the ball in back of him on the backswing, it shall be called a strike only (not interference)." 6:10 Interference; BR is out. 6:25 Interference; out. 6:45 Judgment call -- I think out. 7:00 Obstruction 7:15 What?? no obstruction, no interference, no nothing. Ball is live. 7:25 Obstruction, BR is safe 7:45, 8:07, 8:25, 9:05, 9:30, 9:51, 10:18 Interference, BR is out. 8:35 Yep, he's out. 8:47 10000% Balk 9:29 Meh. R1 is safe. 10:18 Toss-up, could go either way
0:23 Rob Dibble was one of the hottest tempered players in history. The call was never in question. Dibble intentionally threw at the runner. 1:20 Albert Belle--Possibly one of the few worse than Dibble. 1:35 I wish they would have shown it from the start. I umpired 15 years and I don't have an issue with it. But did he actually start from the set (balk) or windup (legal)? 2:00 and I call obstruction based on him having to go around the fielder. 2:20/2:30 I never understood why they ever let Carter Capps do that. The crow hop had never been seen in baseball before, but it has always been illegal in fastpitch softball. They let him do it for a year or two then made it illegal. 2:45 Agreed. Cueto stops mid-delivery with the intent to deceive. That is illegal. 3:40 I see obstruction as well, but interference is also possible if, by the angle, the third baseman was going after that ball. 4:00 Fryman is safe because he was on the base when the ball hit him. The running lane no longer applied. 4:15 Obstruction. One fielder got the ball, the other obstructed. Runner safe at first. 5:54 As you say, not interference. However, dead ball, runner back at first. 6:25 Not interference. For a batter to be called for interference there, he must be out of the batter's box or make a move to interfere with the catcher. 6.03(a)(3) 6:45 Legal. He's sliding into the bag. As long as he can reach the bag with a hand, they don't generally call that unless it's like the Utley slide (which should have been called, fined, ejected, etc.) 7:15 The issue in question is Reggie Jackson standing in the baseline between first and second and being hit by the throw even though he was out. I agree that it should be a live ball, but it could also be ruled that he stood there specifically to block the throw (which is something Jackson might do--he once intentionally swatted a ball thrown to first as a batter-runner). 9:19 Ball is dead as soon as the runner hits the fielder. Runner is out, batter is back at the plate. 9:29 Agreed--runner is safe because he had reached first by the time the ball hit him. 10:34 Blatant obstruction. The fielder collided with the runner without the ball. The fact the runner had already fallen over is irrelevant.
0:40 is just a foul ball. It could be argued that it is catcher's interference for stepping forward to catch the pitch. 1:20 is definitely a double play. 4:10 "There's nothing wrong with where Freyman is." What game are you watching? lol 4:25 has nothing to do with the runner's lane. It's just an out for running into the glove holding the ball.
0:05 Balk. 0:22 Theoretically legal, but intentional. Pitcher was ejected for being an ass. 0:40 Catcher's interference! 0:58 Surprisingly legal. No rules basis for obstruction. 1:16 Runner is out. No play attempted on the batter-runner, so not interference - but it's an obvious ejection. 1:34 Legal. 1:52 Live-ball obstruction. 2:10 Illegal pitch. 2:28 This one's probably legal, as his back foot never left the ground. 2:45 Legal, but silly. 3:03 Interference. 3:21 Legal. Batter was in his natural position in the box. 3:39 Only one fielder can be protected, so this depends on which fielder "counts". 3:57 Runner's lane interference. He was left of the lane. 4:15 Again, only one fielder can be protected, but because one of them had the ball, we know this is dead-ball obstruction. 4:33 Interference. 4:46 Dead-ball obstruction. However, the runner missed home plate; had Boston appealed, he would have been out. Obstructed runners still have to touch all the bases. 5:04 Dead-ball obstruction. Once again, only one fielder can be protected. 5:23 Batter-runner out for a triple play. The lack of a "grab" doesn't matter; R1 did not attempt to reach the base. 5:41 Backswing interference. 5:59 Interference. 6:17 Interference. 6:35 Legal. Runner was able to reach and stay on the base. 6:52 Given the evidence we have, this is live-ball obstruction; there is no proof of a play on the runner at or past the time of the obstruction. Even so, the runner is protected to 3B. 7:08 Interference by a retired runner. 7:27 Dead-ball obstruction. Yet again, only one fielder is protected, and the contact occurred before the out could be made. 7:45 I'd actually call this legal! In OBR, runner's lane interference is with the fielder catching the throw, and that didn't occur here because the throw was wild. 8:00 Interference. F4 was clearly attempting to throw the ball, so a play was being made on the batter-runner. 8:18 The runner wasn't even trying to make it look legal, so this is interference. 8:34 Interference. The play being interfered with is theoretically on the batter-runner, but it's R2 who's out. 8:46 Balk. 9:02 Runner's lane interference. 9:14 Interference by R1. 9:28 Runner's lane interference. 9:47 Legal at the time. Neither the runner nor the fielder touched second base; the runner is safe. (Of course, this is the play that prompted the rule change for these situations.) 10:05 Interference, though it ultimately wouldn't matter either way. 10:31 Dead-ball obstruction.
I agree with some of the comments on here. You could spend a little more time on each one showing outcomes, explaining rulings, etc. Otherwise, I like the videos, but this is a common theme across all of the ones I've watched.
Baseball and music my two true loves. I can't go a week without watching a few games and I can't go a day without listening to my favorite bands like Delta Parole.
They did a video just like this a year ago and tons of people complained about the same thing. It’s not about quality, it’s about reaching ten minutes and get 5 mid roll ads in there lmao. I actually like some of this channels videos but there’s no need to lie they’re pumping out videos as fast as possible just barely over the ten minute marker so they can plaster 900 ads a video.
I'm glad they changed the sliding rule so that the runner has to actually be REALLY near the bag. It was getting so ridiculous. It was like watching DB's upending tight ends.
Middle infielders need to start dog piling on runners who do that. If you want to break up the play, come in shoulder first like a man, not feet first like a bitch.
TBH, I'm not entirely sure that this channel is run by a baseball fan, as much as it is by someone who is a fan of baseball channel revenue. Still 70% awesome videos, and I'm glad they're here
When a player's momentum contributes towards his overrunning/oversliding a base, he's out. This was basically a hard tag where the runner didn't have the control to hold the base. I understand how this looks, but it was the correct call.
@@hbk314 yeah momentum can do that but when the fielder literally pulls the runner off the base there's nothing else to be said. Plenty of players (mainly sliding into 2nd base) have had their body come off the bag when the fielder places a tag too hard or in a way that forces them off and they're still safe. That's how that works
@@TheAmazingallan No, it's not. If you overslide the base, you're out if you get tagged before you can get back on it. You have to be able to keep the base through a tag. If Gant had been standing on the base and been literally ripped of the base, he wouldn't be out. He overran the base with some help from the defense by returning to first base out of control without sliding.
@@hbk314 I understand how the call was made. That doesn't mean it's not obviously wrong. Hrbek ripped Gant off the base. The umpire claimed the momentum took him off but it's clear from watching that Hrbek pulled him off. Literally look up interviews about the play and Hrbek never denies it, both the day of the game and to this day. The umpire has a defense but it is still wrong. Same thing with the Galarraga play. The ump was obviously wrong but it was a defensible wrong
This is an example where replay would have gotten the call right. Gant might have overrun the bag, but we don't know. But Hrbek certainly had hold of him and carried him off of it. I think it was a terrible call.
Staying in the batter's box doesn't protect a batter from being out for interfering with a fielder (catcher) trying to reach the batted ball; he has to vacate the box and allow the catcher to play the ball. It does protect him from being called out for being hit by his own batted ball - that becomes just a foul ball if he's still in the box - but a lot of people confuse the two situations.
He's not running into the batter at that point. He's running into the batter-runner (since the ball's been hit) who's not doing what he's supposed to be doing (clearing out of the way, usually by advancing towards first). A catcher and batter-runner entangling a la the 1975 World Series are both protected if both are doing what's expected of them, but to hit a pop up above the home plate area, turn into a spectator, and end up in the catcher's way? That's an easy interference call.
3:55 As an Umpire, I was taught that the rights go first fielder>runner>second fielder. The fielder In the collision was the second fielder since the SS is fielding the ball so the runner should be safe
I’d actually disagree cause I think the rule is that the runner has right of way once the ball has passed a fielder and since at the time of the collision the ball was in front of both of them and the 3rd baseman was attempting a play on the ball it’s interference. I could be wrong but that’s how I would’ve called it.
@@joaquimreeves6060 The rule is actually that one fielder is protected; the other is not. The umpire must determine at the time of the incident which fielder he is protecting. If the runner interferes with the protected fielder, it's an out; if not, it's obstruction.
1:12 How is that allowed? He literally pulled his foot up and tripped him. Also, 3:55 was bs in my eyes too because the fielder saw him coming (in the base path) and intentionally ran in front of him.
1:12 is one of the worst calls I have ever seen. 3:55 could have gone either way. So long as the third baseman is playing the ball, the runner has to avoid him or he is out for interference. So in the umpire's judgment, both the third baseman and the shortstop were playing that ball. But if the third baseman was not playing the ball, then it should be obstruction, with the runner getting third.
@@eauhomme Yea I see where you're coming from but it just seems like a catch 22 for the runner. Stop to avoid him or run out of the basepath...either way he's out.
@@guttagutta420 Running out of the basepath results in an out only if he's avoiding the tag. He could have run behind them. But yes, it's an awful situation for the runner--essentially a no-win.
It would really be better if you didn’t cut these all so short. It’d be nice for each clip to have a second or two before for context- score/inning/outs/base runners- and a little bit more at the end to hear commentators explain or whatever.
@ 8:50 Kershaw was 100% a balk; in fact, it was a balk TWICE = Once for moving/leaning toward home in his initial motion and TWICE for stepping toward home and it does NOT matter one iota if, Mr. Announcer, you've seen worse.
You know what's better than having the context and conclusion cut out of every single, God damn, SOB-ing play? Getting a midroll right in the middle of a potential triple play
4 роки тому
4:50 the runner made contact way outside the baseline not like 3rd baseman was in the base path. Incedental contact runner took off from 3 or 4 feet off the path
By rule, he was out for interference. Immediate dead ball. Since the ball was dead before the first baseman caught it, it doesn't matter whether he caught it or not. Runner is out, batter back at the plate. Rule 6.01(a) Penalty for Interference Comment: A runner who is adjudged to have hindered a fielder who is attempting to make a play on a batted ball is out whether it was intentional or not. If, however, the runner has contact with a legally occupied base when he hinders the fielder, he shall not be called out unless, in the umpire’s judgment, such hindrance, whether it occurs on fair or foul territory, is intentional. If the umpire declares the hindrance intentional, the following penalty shall apply: With less than two out, the umpire shall declare both the runner and batter out. With two out, the umpire shall declare the batter out.
I wish the commentators would learn the rules. Right off the bat, offense interferes, defense obstructs. 90 plus percent of play by play ppl s dont know the difference, even the former players, but they should. learn your craft fellows
if the runner is outside of the base path clearly marked on mlb fields and he gets in the way of a player or the ball, he is out for interference. batter runner must stay in the marked lines from home to first.
@@payattention3022 Somewhat picky. And late. But if the play is coming from foul territory to the right side (say a dropped third strike that deflects a bit to the right), you definitely can interfere by traveling outside the running lane on that side.
@@daveh1758 I agree. If the runner steps out of the 3 foot "lane" intentionally attempting to get directly between the catcher and first baseman, he can't very well say he was rounding the base... Never seen it called, but certainly sounds like interference to me
Do you mean 9:15, the popup caught by the first baseman after colliding with the runner? The ball is dead the second the runner collided with the fielder. With less than two out, the runner is out and the batter is back at the plate. With two out, the batter is out, ending the inning. If the umpire rules the interference is intentional (obviously not in this case), he can call both out.
They should eject any runner interfering with the fielding team. The most egregious are the second base slides intentionally interfering with the fielder trying to throw to first.
@5:55 it's interference bc he steps out of the box towards the plate and hinders catchers throwing lane -- might not be bc of the bat -- announcers might be mistaken
@@dmdcreations You're correct based on the information given in the video. Backswing interference is a real thing, but when it's unintentional like this the only penalty is the runner has to go back. For them to have called an out as described in the video, it had to have been moving into the catcher's throwing lane.
Bruh, if a runner comes 5 feet off the bag to try and slide tackle my legs out from underneath me, I’m not complaining to the umpires - I’m breaking his nose right then and there smh.
The one around the 4:00 mark with Fryman, he was at fault because he wasn't in the runner's lane. He put himself between the fielders on purpose. Same with the one after, he wasn't running where he was supposed to. You can't be running on the grass like that.
these guys literally sliding 2 feet off the base at second to break up double plays need to be suspended, this is very dangerous and can easily injure someone. odor is a scumbag. utley shouldve been suspended for a full season for that trash, broke tejada's leg with his ridiculous slide.
Others I understand were in the in the way others I questioned because some of the players were on the line while they were running on the baseline, someone explain to me how is that interference, that to me was not a good call at all, really
With interference, particularly the kind you're talking about, it's a judgement call. You can see the same play in different games with different umps and the call will be entirely different. At 9:04, that's clearly interference because the runner was on the grass. At 9:28 it may or may not have been. In the actual game they said it was because the runner drifts a bit and into the throwing path (really small drift, but it's there). In another, they may not because he was still on line and in the basepath. A common, though underhanded, trick you see a lot is for catchers to move behind the runner on a bunt or squib and throw at the runner's back. The ump sometimes calls interference and you get an out when you were otherwise beat, which happened a lot in this vid.
@@TheReaperEagle If you are running on the grass , you're right and there automatic out but, big but here, if you are running on the baseline, that's different and if they ball at you unpurpuse they should automatically thrown out of the game because that's unsportsmanlike conduct right there
4:15 OK I don't get why the ump said the pitcher interfered. Both pitcher and first baseman are going for the ball. Batter runs WELL inside the line and collides with the pitcher, instead of going outside to avoid them. Different is 7:26. Bad fielding communication and the pitcher ends up in the basepath.
Runners that intentionally try and trip the other player to prevent a throw should be ejected from the game for unsportstmanship and make him stand near where the warn up batters warms up for the other team wearing a dunce hat for the rest of the game! 😂
Gant was trying to go back exactly like you’re taught to disrupt the 1st baseman’s path to the ball. Problem is it was the correct scenario for that and he butt should of went back head first.
7:10 The 1977 (I think?) World Series clip, Yankees-Dodgers, when Russell knocked down a line drive and his throw hit Jackson, the Yankees did benefit but not by a call but by a non-call. The batter should have been called out and the play dead. In trying to manufacture a double play Russell still only got one out but allowed Munson to score from second.
@@adamwesley2985 LMAO! If he wins he can use the money to buy the ingredients to make some brownies with some legal marijuana mixed in! Maybe he won't be so early after eating a few of them. 😆
Finish the damn clips. Every single clip was cut before outcome was decided. This is just a compilation of questionable plays, no answers given to any of it.
Hi! Youth umpire here, and here's my take on these plays:
0:06 Definitely a balk. No way around it.
0:23 No interference; the runner is in their lane.
0:40 Nope. Instant ejection in the league I work in.
1:00 Safe -- forced off the bag.
1:20 Why is this a question? The runner punched the guy, and depending on the situation I might award a double play here.
1:35 Balk. 100% -- only two legal positions (set & wind-up), you can't mix em
2:00 Contact is irrelevant here -- this is a judgment call on whether the guy would have made it. I call no interference based on where he's running.
2:20 & 2:30 Yeah, you can't do that.
2:45 As much as I like Cueto and the 2015 Royals, no way. He looked like he was delivering to home. I would call a balk, and ball four (as a balk with no runners on is an automatic ball)
3:10 Judgment call, and I agree
3:25 Legal, and the ball is live.
3:40 Judgment call, and I disagree: Obstruction is "the act of a fielder who, while not in possession of the ball and not in the act of fielding the ball, impedes the progress of any runner." That third baseman was not fielding the ball in my opinion.
4:00 Interference: BR is out and the ball is dead.
4:25 Definitely close, but I think he's out... not in the lane.
4:30 Interference, both are out.
4:50 Literally the poster-child of obstruction
5:10 Judgment call... on the one hand fielder got shoved, on the other the guy shouldn't have been standing there... safe at third.
5:35 Judgment call... interference
5:54 No interference: 6.03(a)(3) "If a batter strikes at a ball and misses and swings so hard he carries the bat all the way around and, in the umpire's judgment, unintentionally hits the catcher or the ball in back of him on the backswing, it shall be called a strike only (not interference)."
6:10 Interference; BR is out.
6:25 Interference; out.
6:45 Judgment call -- I think out.
7:00 Obstruction
7:15 What?? no obstruction, no interference, no nothing. Ball is live.
7:25 Obstruction, BR is safe

0:58 Surprisingly legal. No rules basis for obstruction.
1:16 Runner is out. No play attempted on the batter-runner, so not interference - but it's an obvious ejection.
1:34 Legal.
1:52 Live-ball obstruction.
2:10 Illegal pitch.
2:28 This one's probably legal, as his back foot never left the ground.

The chase Utley slide was legal at the time. The rule was changed after that incident. They didn't want any more players getting hurt
It was actually outlawed in 1987 after Cincy 2B Ron Oester had his ACL torn on a hard slide by Mookie Wilson. But they gradually stopped enforcing it.

Middle infielders need to start dog piling on runners who do that. If you want to break up the play, come in shoulder first like a man, not feet first like a bitch.
Should be grounds for an immediate ejection... either that an ass beating from the person the runner ran into.
TBH, I'm not entirely sure that this channel is run by a baseball fan, as much as it is by someone who is a fan of baseball channel revenue. Still 70% awesome videos, and I'm glad they're here
the ump at 0:58 is the worst. they way he so dramatically calls the runner out in such an obvious wrong call is infuriating
When a player's momentum contributes towards his overrunning/oversliding a base, he's out. This was basically a hard tag where the runner didn't have the control to hold the base. I understand how this looks, but it was the correct call.
@@hbk314 yeah momentum can do that but when the fielder literally pulls the runner off the base there's nothing else to be said. Plenty of players (mainly sliding into 2nd base) have had their body come off the bag when the fielder places a tag too hard or in a way that forces them off and they're still safe. That's how that works
@@TheAmazingallan No, it's not. If you overslide the base, you're out if you get tagged before you can get back on it. You have to be able to keep the base through a tag.
If Gant had been standing on the base and been literally ripped of the base, he wouldn't be out. He overran the base with some help from the defense by returning to first base out of control without sliding.
@@hbk314 I understand how the call was made. That doesn't mean it's not obviously wrong. Hrbek ripped Gant off the base. The umpire claimed the momentum took him off but it's clear from watching that Hrbek pulled him off. Literally look up interviews about the play and Hrbek never denies it, both the day of the game and to this day. The umpire has a defense but it is still wrong. Same thing with the Galarraga play. The ump was obviously wrong but it was a defensible wrong
This is an example where replay would have gotten the call right. Gant might have overrun the bag, but we don't know. But Hrbek certainly had hold of him and carried him off of it. I think it was a terrible call.
The catcher running into the batter who's in the batters box on a pop up shouldn't be interference, or am I wrong?
Dr. Doeboy shouldn’t be but it’s a hard call for ump
@@beastm0de51 If I'm not mistaken the batter has to atleast make an attempt to get out of the way, otherwise it's considered interference.
Staying in the batter's box doesn't protect a batter from being out for interfering with a fielder (catcher) trying to reach the batted ball; he has to vacate the box and allow the catcher to play the ball. It does protect him from being called out for being hit by his own batted ball - that becomes just a foul ball if he's still in the box - but a lot of people confuse the two situations.
Dr. Doeboy, you are wrong.
He's not running into the batter at that point. He's running into the batter-runner (since the ball's been hit) who's not doing what he's supposed to be doing (clearing out of the way, usually by advancing towards first).
A catcher and batter-runner entangling a la the 1975 World Series are both protected if both are doing what's expected of them, but to hit a pop up above the home plate area, turn into a spectator, and end up in the catcher's way? That's an easy interference call.
3:55 As an Umpire, I was taught that the rights go first fielder>runner>second fielder. The fielder In the collision was the second fielder since the SS is fielding the ball so the runner should be safe
I’d actually disagree cause I think the rule is that the runner has right of way once the ball has passed a fielder and since at the time of the collision the ball was in front of both of them and the 3rd baseman was attempting a play on the ball it’s interference. I could be wrong but that’s how I would’ve called it.
@@joaquimreeves6060 The rule is actually that one fielder is protected; the other is not. The umpire must determine at the time of the incident which fielder he is protecting. If the runner interferes with the protected fielder, it's an out; if not, it's obstruction.
"Rule 8.05(g) The pitcher makes any motion naturally associated with his pitch while he is not touching the pitcher’s plate"... is a balk.
Put some commentary in there. What exactly does the rule book say on each of these? What was the outcome of each play? This was useless
They cut the end out of every play, so you have no idea the outcome!
Thanks for the great vids u rock
1:12 How is that allowed? He literally pulled his foot up and tripped him. Also, 3:55 was bs in my eyes too because the fielder saw him coming (in the base path) and intentionally ran in front of him.
Ehh could’ve gone either way but he should’ve been safe definitely
1:12 is one of the worst calls I have ever seen.
3:55 could have gone either way. So long as the third baseman is playing the ball, the runner has to avoid him or he is out for interference. So in the umpire's judgment, both the third baseman and the shortstop were playing that ball. But if the third baseman was not playing the ball, then it should be obstruction, with the runner getting third.
@@eauhomme Yea I see where you're coming from but it just seems like a catch 22 for the runner. Stop to avoid him or run out of the basepath...either way he's out.
@@guttagutta420 Running out of the basepath results in an out only if he's avoiding the tag. He could have run behind them. But yes, it's an awful situation for the runner--essentially a no-win.
I think the ump decided that even without the tangle, his momentum and balance were going to take him off the bag anyway.
It would really be better if you didn’t cut these all so short. It’d be nice for each clip to have a second or two before for context- score/inning/outs/base runners- and a little bit more at the end to hear commentators explain or whatever.
1:12 stupid umpire. He’s SAFE
6:13 What s dirty play, A-rod!
@ 8:50 Kershaw was 100% a balk; in fact, it was a balk TWICE = Once for moving/leaning toward home in his initial motion and TWICE for stepping toward home and it does NOT matter one iota if, Mr. Announcer, you've seen worse.
Odor doing those slides and when Jose Bautista did it he got mad, BS
@Florian Held 🤣🤣
that was more from the tension going back to the previous years ALDS more than anything
You know what's better than having the context and conclusion cut out of every single, God damn, SOB-ing play? Getting a midroll right in the middle of a potential triple play
4:50 the runner made contact way outside the baseline not like 3rd baseman was in the base path. Incedental contact runner took off from 3 or 4 feet off the path
Lu Bu, you obviously have no idea how the base path works.
Does anyone know the beat at 9:58? The dodger clip
Dunno
Nicely done my man👍
How many of these will we never know what the call is?
some of those its obvious, others yeah we could use the payoff
What was the deal at 9:10 where the base runner was called for interference while just running straight and getting hit by the throw?
I think because he was running on the grass
From home to first they have to strictly adhere to the white lines
1:20 Albert belle is the last guy i would want to mess with
Bah, Belle was nothing a good four seamer to the face couldn't handle.
9:18 Smith was safe. he didnt cause him to miss the ball, and had a right to his base
Clearly
By rule, he was out for interference. Immediate dead ball. Since the ball was dead before the first baseman caught it, it doesn't matter whether he caught it or not. Runner is out, batter back at the plate.
Rule 6.01(a) Penalty for Interference Comment:
A runner who is adjudged to have hindered a fielder who is attempting to make a play on a batted ball is out whether it was intentional or not. If, however, the runner has contact with a legally occupied base when he hinders the fielder, he shall not be called out unless, in the umpire’s judgment, such hindrance, whether it occurs on fair or foul territory, is intentional. If the umpire declares the hindrance intentional, the following penalty shall apply: With less than two out, the umpire shall declare both the runner and batter out. With two out, the umpire shall declare the batter out.
That play that the runner ran into the fielder is obstruction on the fielder because there was another fielder that the ball was given the right
So did he get hit with the bat in the third clip?? Didn’t seem clear in the second clip but idk
I don't think so, you're right though the camera didn't really show anything
Freakin love Dibbs.
Wow 7th comment I'm early, Great vid too! Keep the great work up!👍👍
0:40 the bat didn’t even hit Barnhart
I wish the commentators would learn the rules. Right off the bat, offense interferes, defense obstructs. 90 plus percent of play by play ppl s dont know the difference, even the former players, but they should. learn your craft fellows
Don't cut the clips so early.
I’m confused why there are ones where someone just throws bad and hits the runner going to first
if the runner is outside of the base path clearly marked on mlb fields and he gets in the way of a player or the ball, he is out for interference. batter runner must stay in the marked lines from home to first.
@@johndaley9594 Only out if he is in the field of play, you can run towards the dugout as far as you want as long as you are not avoiding a tag
@@payattention3022 Somewhat picky. And late.
But if the play is coming from foul territory to the right side (say a dropped third strike that deflects a bit to the right), you definitely can interfere by traveling outside the running lane on that side.
@@daveh1758 I agree. If the runner steps out of the 3 foot "lane" intentionally attempting to get directly between the catcher and first baseman, he can't very well say he was rounding the base... Never seen it called, but certainly sounds like interference to me
If a bat hits the catchers in the swing, it shouldn't be an out. Same way with the batter getting hit by the catcher when he is still in the box.
you actually watch baseball you know the answers to the questions
Professional or Bush League?
8:55 you can always tell who's announce team it is when they re-define balk.
4:15 i dont see why that should be called interference since he caught it, can anyone explain?
It’s not
Do you mean 9:15, the popup caught by the first baseman after colliding with the runner?
The ball is dead the second the runner collided with the fielder. With less than two out, the runner is out and the batter is back at the plate. With two out, the batter is out, ending the inning. If the umpire rules the interference is intentional (obviously not in this case), he can call both out.
4:34 not illegal at all. the ball was out before he hit him
Yeah it was obvious that there was no double play but it’s pretty clear that he intentionally tried to break it up
If I coached against that hopping-pitcher, I'd have my guy hop all the way down to the bottom of the mound then release the ball.
Albert Belle was just a tank of a player
Someone redo this with outcomes good greif
The out calls on the crap throws are ridiculous
I don't think that bat hit pena.
8:18 😂😂😂😂
Ummmmmmmmmmmm how is that funny?
It's kinda fun.
All
♥♥
They should eject any runner interfering with the fielding team. The most egregious are the second base slides intentionally interfering with the fielder trying to throw to first.
Dude these piss me off especially the gant one
See I don't get how a follow-through swing is an interference.
@5:55 it's interference bc he steps out of the box towards the plate and hinders catchers throwing lane -- might not be bc of the bat -- announcers might be mistaken
@@dmdcreations You're correct based on the information given in the video. Backswing interference is a real thing, but when it's unintentional like this the only penalty is the runner has to go back. For them to have called an out as described in the video, it had to have been moving into the catcher's throwing lane.
That call against the brave is bs ngl
if u don’t slide to the base coming at me at second you can guarantee your goddamn head is getting taken off
1:18 I hope the pitcher sent Belle to the hospital in his next at bat...or at least to an emergency dentist.
Bruh, if a runner comes 5 feet off the bag to try and slide tackle my legs out from underneath me, I’m not complaining to the umpires - I’m breaking his nose right then and there smh.
I hated Albert Bell after that
Too damn many ads
The one around the 4:00 mark with Fryman, he was at fault because he wasn't in the runner's lane. He put himself between the fielders on purpose. Same with the one after, he wasn't running where he was supposed to. You can't be running on the grass like that.
these guys literally sliding 2 feet off the base at second to break up double plays need to be suspended, this is very dangerous and can easily injure someone. odor is a scumbag. utley shouldve been suspended for a full season for that trash, broke tejada's leg with his ridiculous slide.
Others I understand were in the in the way others I questioned because some of the players were on the line while they were running on the baseline, someone explain to me how is that interference, that to me was not a good call at all, really
Corey Hill which ones u talking about?
Mighty Wolf2 if you watch it again you will see where the players were running from
With interference, particularly the kind you're talking about, it's a judgement call. You can see the same play in different games with different umps and the call will be entirely different. At 9:04, that's clearly interference because the runner was on the grass. At 9:28 it may or may not have been. In the actual game they said it was because the runner drifts a bit and into the throwing path (really small drift, but it's there). In another, they may not because he was still on line and in the basepath.
A common, though underhanded, trick you see a lot is for catchers to move behind the runner on a bunt or squib and throw at the runner's back. The ump sometimes calls interference and you get an out when you were otherwise beat, which happened a lot in this vid.
TheReaperEagle Aw man, that’s messed up lol.
@@TheReaperEagle If you are running on the grass , you're right and there automatic out but, big but here, if you are running on the baseline, that's different and if they ball at you unpurpuse they should automatically thrown out of the game because that's unsportsmanlike conduct right there
4:15 OK I don't get why the ump said the pitcher interfered. Both pitcher and first baseman are going for the ball. Batter runs WELL inside the line and collides with the pitcher, instead of going outside to avoid them.
Different is 7:26. Bad fielding communication and the pitcher ends up in the basepath.
Hi everybody. 👍congratulations you doing very good job 😁👍
Runners that intentionally try and trip the other player to prevent a throw should be ejected from the game for unsportstmanship and make him stand near where the warn up batters warms up for the other team wearing a dunce hat for the rest of the game! 😂
I agree. I was mad watching that.
If u aint cheating, u aint trying!
Gant was trying to go back exactly like you’re taught to disrupt the 1st baseman’s path to the ball. Problem is it was the correct scenario for that and he butt should of went back head first.
8:18 is a balk
adverts every 3 mins
Am I the only one who noticed like 90% of the clips were the Yankees complaining or having a call go their way?
I can’t say I’m surprised unfortunately
7:10 The 1977 (I think?) World Series clip, Yankees-Dodgers, when Russell knocked down a line drive and his throw hit Jackson, the Yankees did benefit but not by a call but by a non-call. The batter should have been called out and the play dead. In trying to manufacture a double play Russell still only got one out but allowed Munson to score from second.
8:18 you gotta be shitting me lmao that was the most cringey slide I’ve ever seen
1:19
Boom
Hey I'm actually early for one
Well go get yourself a lotto scratcher...its your lucky day
@@adamwesley2985 LMAO! If he wins he can use the money to buy the ingredients to make some brownies with some legal marijuana mixed in! Maybe he won't be so early after eating a few of them. 😆
It's easy to tell which of the ump's have money riding on the game.
i got a hat just like his on the @t
Finish the damn clips. Every single clip was cut before outcome was decided. This is just a compilation of questionable plays, no answers given to any of it.
Definitely a lot of good calls, but man a lot of missed calls for inference on those slides into 2nd
It is a new rule that’s only been around a few years, all those that weren’t called happened before that new rule was put in place.
