Totally. I’d bet White Sox players and fans would be a lot happier with Buck as their manager rather than TLR.

We need more Buck content.

Agreed

I don't know how that's even possible to have a situation like that

@@madc2004 i looked it up and it’s still a little confusing. It’s kinda like the “balk” situation. Love baseball but still don’t know wtf a Balk is

@@philbelichick24 A balk is when the pitcher breaks his motion towards the plate without stepping off the rubber. So you cant start to throw to the plate and then suddenly throw to third or whatever to pick off a runner

@@madc2004 you see, and then i get a different answer from different people. You broke it down perfectly.

@@philbelichick24 there is also different balks but all center around the pitchers motion. If a man on first, and a rh pitcher purposely/accidently twitches his back leg to make it look like he is going to pick off to first, but then goes to plate, that is balk. If pitcher comes set, but ball drops out his glove then balk. you can find balk videos from mlb highlights on youtube and will make way more sense. I had the same problem trying to understanding icing in nhl lol

True

I still think about that substitution every now and then... 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

As a Blue Jays fan, I LOVED it. 😁

Maybe if the lineup that was supposed to mash had done their jobs it wouldn't have gotten to that point. But let's blame Buck for not having a bullpen to compete with.

No shit

He was saving him for the next season

Honestly, though, as an Orioles fan, it didn't matter. They weren't winning that game. If Britton pitched the 10th, they just would've lost in the 11th. If he pitched 2 innings, they would've lost in the 12th. Better to just rip off the Band-Aid and get it over with.

@@matrixphijr yeah but at least you know you shot all your bullets man ..... In a sport such as baseball you never know ....

Lets not do this.

@@matrixphijr you keep telling yourself that.

I would like to see the first one just to see it for myself if he was getting stuff wrong since I usually check the rules and if it involves specific parks then I check their ground rules since it’s always good to know that ground rules could be different in various parks

He did not get all of them right. He was wrong about having to come out of the dugout to throw the ball. Once a fielder makes a catch and enters dead ball territory (the dugout), the ball is dead and all runners are awarded one base. Nothing else can happen.

Runners on first and second, hit and run with the runners not really paying attention, pop up around second base, Infield Fly (batter is out) runner from first passes the runner on second (Runner from first is out), ball lands on runner from second (that runner is out).

@@Cryolemon yup you basically summed it up but it's the batted ball hitting the runner that rules him out for the 3rd out if I understand things right

If the ball lands on one of the runners, wouldn't that not be an out due to the infield fly rule already having been called?

It also has the highest rate of hits with 3 balls, probably, or strikeouts with 3 balls, or walks with 2 strikes, I bet.

Stools are less expensive.

Agreed

LOL

This might be the most doofus comment ever.

If the catcher is between you and home plate, and leaves you no path to reach home plate, you are free to run the catcher over. The rules are different now, the catcher can only block the plate if they have the ball, or trying to field the ball. The catcher and runner must make a good faith attempt to avoid a collision. If the runner crashes into the catcher on purpose, the runner is ruled out.

Yep, I definitely branded Machado as a dingleberry when it comes to sliding into other players. Sadly, I hope someone as dirty as him slides into him. 🥲

Jim Thome is one but that’s all I can answer

Yes, he was signed by the New York Mets.

@Kevin L thanks, that explains to me also what their discussion around the ethics of sliding and whether it be a dirty play or not.

the baserunner has the right of way to run in a straight line to the next base. If a fielder is standing in the way, the runner is free to run them over. If the fielder has the ball and is attempting to tag you, you are free to slide into them to avoid the tag. There is no rule that says you must come to a complete stop and let the fielder tag you easily standing up

@@cyclopsvision6370 Cool thanks, I got it all now.

@@corsel6911 It would have been dirty if he spiked the guy but I don't see any issues with what Manny did in that situation.

I’ve always wondered why they don’t use a square ball. That would make the game so much better. A football-shaped ball would be cool too. Ground balls would be interesting.

@@chriswebster24 Hitting would be challenging.

I don't believe that is the rule. It may have been at one time because I remember hearing it many years ago. Once a player makes a catch and enters dead ball territory, the ball is dead and remains dead. All runners get one base.

That’s why I come to the comments because this is where all the experts reside.

@@jasonwilliams4159 Be careful, shockingly there are also a few non-experts who reside here in the comments

@@SomeSortOfLandCow That’s impossible.

Correct. Once a fielder catches the ball and enters dead ball territory, the ball is dead, all runners advance 90 feet. The fielder CANNOT reenter live ball territory and make a play. Buck was wrong on that one.

it must be properly worn. To take it off and rake the ball is illegal.

Same with using fielders cap's and balls going inside shirts, they don't count as a catch. Only the hand and glove are allowed.

The feet must be on or over live ball territory when the catch is made.

That infield fly call was correct. You don't know the rule so don't try to tell us an infield fly cannot be caught in the outfield. You are totally wrong.

If it is judged that an infielder could catch the ball with ordinary effort it would be an infield fly even if he caught it on the warning track in dead centerfield.

On the baez screw up the first should just stepped on first or chases baez back to the plate.

@@ibraheemrao8434 My Orioles need Buck back

My Orioles need Buck back

He'd probably say it's clean as well! "The spikes went into the meat of the leg , which makes it all right !" I hate every slide involving Machado.

Read the rule again, because you're wrong. "a fielder who is attempting to field a batted or thrown ball" He was doing neither. He had already fielded it and was attempting to tag the runner.

@@Subangelis Try paying attention to the whole video. 1:55 starts a whole section about a foul ball toward the dugout. And at 2:40 he goes specifically into how he'd tell his players to make sure they stay on the rail and make it more difficult for the fielder trying to catch the ball at the dugout.

He also got the rule wrong about leaving your feet near the dugout: There are two rules involved, one regarding where you can legally make a catch, and one involving the advancement of the runners. [From the 2019 Official Baseball Rules: "Rule 5.09(a)(1) Comment: A fielder may reach into, but not step into, a dugout to make a catch, and if he holds the ball, the catch shall be allowed. A fielder, in order to make a catch on a foul ball nearing a dugout or other out-of-play area (such as the stands), must have one or both feet on or over the playing surface (including the lip of the dugout) and neither foot on the ground inside the dugout or in any other out-of-play area. Ball is in play, unless the fielder, after making a legal catch, steps or falls into a dugout or other out-of-play area, in which case the ball is dead. Status of runners shall be as described in Rule 5.06(b)(3)(C) Comment." We have also from Rule 5.09(a)(1) that "[i]f a fielder, attempting a catch at the edge of the dugout, is 'held up' and kept from an apparent fall by a player or players of either team and the catch is made, it shall be allowed." That makes clear that being held up at the dugout fence (and not falling) is not the same as a fall. "Rule 5.06(b)(3)(C) Comment: If a fielder, after having made a legal catch, should step or fall into any out-of-play area, the ball is dead and each runner shall advance one base, without liability to be put out, from his last legally touched base at the time the fielder entered such out-of-play area." So you can leave your feet and not have the runners advance, as long as you don't step or literally fall into the dugout. And being held up to prevent a fall does not mean that you fell.

Catchers do it most often, but it actually applies to every defensive player.

That is one of the rules you don't know it existed until you see it. It also makes sense.

It’s not just a Catcher rule though it applies to fielders with their hats as well basically it’s to prevent them from catching balls with equipment other than hands and gloves but I thought it only applies to catching them and not touching them but I would have to check this out when I get the time to go through the rules just to verify copied and pasted directly from the rules as posted by the MLB site which I'd directly link to but the KZfaq systems would automatically moderate my comment "Rule 5.06(b)(3) to 5.06(b)(4) (E) A fielder deliberately touches a pitched ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place on his person. The ball is in play, and the award is made from the position of the runner at the time the ball was touched" and the reward would be 1 base.

Because you don't understand it does not make it BS

How can you like him his commentary is atrocious

@@rogregg29445 his youtube videos with David Ortiz and other mlb players/former players are pretty good imo, and he’s fine on shark tank

@@rogregg29445 his voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

It’s his baseline

He didn’t leave the baseline to interfere with the play smh

Buck has forgotten more about baseball then you will ever learn about the sport
