    Here's a rule few people know: the "Ground Rule Single" - bottom of the ninth (or later) inning, tie score, runners on second and third, and the batter hits a deep ball that lands fair and bounces over the outfield fence; only the runner on third scores, and the batter is credited with a single. (Rule 9.06(f), especially the comment. Note that an out-of-the-park home run is always counted as a home run, and all runs count.)

    The first discussion (3rd base), I think there was a slight mistake... Buck said to try to get the lead runner to step off of the base first, and then tag both runners. Obviously, if that's done, then the lead runner is out... but the trail runner is safe because he's the only occupant of the base when he gets tagged. Instead - with both runners still on the base - the defense should tag the *trail* runner first, as he will be out as Buck said... then try to get the lead runner to step off of the base and tag him.

      That's exactly what I was thinking. If both are on the base and no tag has been applied, neither are out (obviously). If you decide to tag them both while on the bad, the trailing runner is now out, your lead runner is safe. But if you only tag the trail runner with both on the bag and then convince the lead runner to leave the bag, you have a chance for a double.

    • @jonskaggs2891

    1:28 if the runner who started at third gets off 3rd base and then both runners are tagged, that runner is out since they are not on a base anymore. The runner who advanced from 2nd to 3rd is then safe at 3rd if they remained on the base.
    What you want to do is tag the runner who started at third while they are on the base (they are safe), then quickly tag the runner who advanced from second (they are out), then watch the runner who started at third to see what they do. They might step off because they might think they're out. If they do step off, then you tag them and it's a double play.

      @@richardjacques1731 Sorry, that is not correct. Ugh, I had a careful reply all typed up and UA-cam ate it. :( The quick version is, a runner is automatically out only if they _pass_ the runner ahead of them. Two players on a base doesn't do anything automatically. They must be put out by normal tags and forces.
      Which runner is safe on base depends on whether the lead runner is forced to run. If they're forced to run, by definition they are not safe. The trailing runner gets the bag, the lead can be tagged out or forced out at the next base.
      If there's no force, the lead runner owns the bag. The trailing runner is at risk of being put out by tag.

      @@Michael-yd7nt A runner is on second when there's a short fly. As the shortstop is coming over, the runner, keeping one foot on the base, stretches and causes the shortstop to trip. That's clearly interference, right? Well, what happens if the shortstop is coming close to the base, and the runner sees he doesn't have to move at all to cause the shortstop to collide with him, and makes no attempt to give him room while still maintaining contact with second? Isn't that just as much intentionally interfering? It's easily seen that way, which is why he was saying what the runner should do. If the runner tries to avoid contact (or at least does a good job selling it) while still keeping contact with the base, as is the runner's right, then the umpire is unlikely to rule an intentional attempt to hinder the fielder because the runner tried, as much as reasonably possible, to avoid it.

    If you tag R2 (while both R2 and R3 have their foot on the bag) then R2 is OUT, R3 would be safe unless he removes his foot from the base. The ONLY way to get a "double play" would be to tag R2, then somehow get R3 to remove his foot from the base.

The only way to get both guys out (other than both of them vacating the bag) is tag both of them while on the bag - the trail runner is out, then you hope that the lead runner thinks he is out, and when he steps off the bag you tag him again. If the lead guy steps off before any tags are made, the trail runner will be safe if the trail runner never leaves the bag.

    For the 3rd base bit, the order of operations is key. When there isn't a force, You tag off the trailing runner first, then the leading runner. You do it the other way round and he suddenly does have claim to the base, and tie always goes to the runner. In either case, if it isn't obvious someone is going to be on 3rd as long as they both stay on the bag.
    This idea is flipped on a force however. Imagine a guy on 1st and it's hit straight to the pitcher. Say he bobbles it and throws it to 1st. The 1st base runner however decides to just stand on the base. To get a double play, the 1st baseman must tag the leading runner first before he touches the base. If he does it the other way around, and hits the bag first, you'd get the out, but then immediately, the runner is no longer forced off of 1st, and tie always goes to the runner.

    Buck was slightly wrong with his first explanation. The trailing runner isn’t automatically out unless he passes the lead runner. They can both be standing on 3rd base without passing the lead runner. In this situation it’s as if third base doesn’t exist for the trailing runner and he can be tagged out.

      He originally said it correctly, but then changed it to say when the runner from 3rd steps off, then tag the runner from 2nd.
      Yadier Molina got a double play on this situation. The guy on 3rd came down the line then saw the throw coming home, so he started back to 3rd. The guy from 2nd ran to 3rd and got to the base before the guy from 3rd returned. Molina ran the base and they were both on the base. He tagged the guy from 3rd, then the guy from 2nd. The ump called out - for the guy from 2nd but the guy from 3rd thought that HE was out and stepped off the bag, then Yadier tagged him. Double play.

    It is not a balk at first if the first baseman is in foul territory.
    Rule 5.02 has three parts.
    5.02a concerns the catcher and is the only part of this rule that will cause a balk.
    5.02c is the rule that says players other than the catcher must be in fair territory.
    There is no penalty for a player being in foul territory.
    The umpire instructs them to get in fair territory.
    If there is repeated or blatant disregard, the player may be subject to being ejected.

    I know about the overslide by the runner - lesser-known rule. If the runner overslides a base, the runner has to go back to the base (the ball will be considered live still) until the runner returns and touches the base before the defense tags the runner. If successful, the runner is safe and the play is considered dead. If the tag happens before the runner touches the base on the overslide, that runner is out.
    And this one for Wrigley Field - the "ivy". Unusual ground rule here for this part of the iconic outfield wall....
    1. If the ball goes into the ivy on one bounce and the outfielder cannot find the ball in there, it is treated like a ground-rule double.
    2. If the ball caroms off the ivy (like it did in Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS) on a pop-fly towards it, the ball is considered live, and it will be treated like a ball hit off the regular outfield wall.

    • @charlessmith263
      @charlessmith263 9 місяців тому

      Also - on a home run - the runner needs to touch the bases - all of the bases, even if uncontested. If the runner misses a base, the runner must go back and touch it. Failure to do so will nullify the home run and the runner may be declared out. So even if you celebrate a home run yourself, be sure especially to TOUCH HOME PLATE!!!
