Why did it have to happen to Jeff Francouer, possibly the nicest guy in baseball

Similar to "triple play" scene in One Outs

im not a baseball pro, but how is that a triple play? He caught it, which is one and tagged the guy, which is 2? Wheres the 3rd?

Joshua Exposito when the ball is caught with less than two outs, all runners have to go back to their base before advancing.

He stepped on second to “double off” the runner

I remember this clear as day cuz I’m a Nats fan and he did almost nothing that entire season

@@gamerlife4276 who said he was

@@gamerlife4276 he has his games, hes pretty fast though

Gamer Boi “he’s not that good” bro he’s in the *MLB*

Dude went 0 for 5, all strikeouts, yet the manager kept him in the game?! That's bad managing!

Ryan Cruickshanks you and me both dude!

Bidens new campaign slogan

Lololol

in my opinion the greatest HR hit. a walkoff at home to win a 2-peat i mean...

@@manny5186 And while I'm not 100% sure, I believe Joe Carter is the only man to be the last player to touch the ball in two straight WS. He was playing first and caught the last out in 92.

MANCHESTER UNITED Shut up. Honestly no one cares

@MANCHESTER UNITED And plus there's only 196 countries in the world, not fucking 240 you absolute moronic idiot, stop advertising your shitty organization, and go back to your shitty mom's basement.

MANCHESTER UNITED no one asked 😂

@MANCHESTER UNITED Soccer is nowhere near the greatest sport. It's the most popular but that's because most foreign countries don't know how to make sports like baseball as popular

Your not wrong .

Damn birds! Might've been seagulls, since Cleveland is right there on Lake Erie.

Nice pun lol-

tato718 WHAT A ENDIOT

tato718 WHAT A ENDIOT

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💎

Even after he dropped it, he could have gotten the 2nd runner out or held him at third if he threw home. WTF did he toss the ball to 2nd for?

@@TimCarter Brain cramp. He panicked after dropping the ball and didn't keep his head and make the smart baseball move.

Lmao

That made me laugh so hard

0531jos nah more like veteran if it was rookie you wouldn’t need a dumb walk off like that

@@James-sm7kn just enjoy the joke

@@thekhanbrothers4305 even though this was a year ago, NEVER!!!

So funny

Lonnie deserved so much better than his injury-plagued career, and so did we.

hahaha I wondered what that was, thought it was a hubcap

Didn’t even notice 😆

Impeckably surely?

@@DurhamGooner A betting coo by the birds for sure

I never trusted then after seeing that Hitchcock picture.

@Hgyvtfygyhuh Ygihvutctvnininnin Bro what's going on, what are you talking about?

YEGGERtalk I saw that too probably lol

YEGGERtalk yeah. I think that guy has been there since the 90’s. The bullpens are right there with the fans so I think he just got lucky and was posted there to keep fans from messing with the Boston relievers, he’s got the best job in the world

@Hgyvtfygyhuh Ygihvutctvnininnin who touched you as a child

Yeah he’s a great guy. I’ve talked to him to almost every game I’ve been too! He’s a huge Red Sox fan also of course! I actually have his signature LOL my mom and sister always saw his reactions on TV so I needed to get it for them. Boston’s finest

Yes

that made the hit feel so Hollywood I love inside-the-parkers

It actually wasn’t a fist pump. He throw up the devil horns!

Speaking of no-hitters that weren't, I'm surprised the video doesn't include Rich Hill from a few years ago. He lost the perfect game in the eighth or ninth, still finished nine with a no-hitter, came out to start the tenth, and gives up a walk-off homer.

How about Dave Winfield?

@@aiman9365 Imagine being this triggered

Aiman A you’re acting like it’s baseballs fault lol. You’re the dumbest person I have ever seen. They were in the way, what was the ball supposed to do, fly over them? Oh wait, that’s why birds have wings you fucking idiot!

D0DGE. THE GUY IS MAKING A JOKE.

"literally" ?

To be fair it was a pretty easy call, but he should’ve applied the tag harder. Hindsight is 20/20

@@cadenr06 When you look at the slow motion replays, it is very doubtful that the glove actually touched the player. It is possible that it did. The pants leg may have moved just slightly, but the catcher is at fault for not applying a good tag.

That game still haunts me

Yeah dude swung and missed lmao. No matter how much advantage the overly aggressive baserunning and the good throw can give you none of it means anything if you don’t apply the tag.

That was a blown call all the way!!! Search for the video of the Pirates broadcast, replay clearly shows the tag and even the Braves runner is surprised.

Shoa Mien Quite literally, unassisted. He did everything

Not true. The first error was on Ryan Howard. The 2nd was on Bruntlett and it cost a double play. He more than made up for it.

@@Rockhound6165 actually it wasn’t, He dropped the ball from a hit to second BOTH times

He set the table AND put away the dishes

you're correct as well, but there were 3 errors in the inning. Howard had one error, and Brunlett had two errors before the triple play@@Rockhound6165

That game was the beginning of the end for the Giants. Prior to the All Star Game, they were untouchable. After the All Star Game, the bullpen completely went to shit. That was also the last time the Giants were "good" in any meaningful way. 😒

😂 🤣 😂

Absolutely

hahahHhahhaahahHhHahahahahahh so funny

@@gunslingingbird74 just a joke lol ain’t gotta give us a paragraph

bunch of pussies afraid to mess up their pristine uniforms and hair

Jim A they rich so

I don't get celebrating the batter who "walked it off" on an error. Like they aren't really the one to give credit, it was just a weak popout otherwise. If anything, congratulate the runner who scored for heads up baserunning or as a joke crowd the fielder who made the error lol!

Jim A Someones mad for no reason whatsoever

@@JimA-pp2nu Are you mad?

Facts

I think there was a another camera angle

Hgyvtfygyhuh Ygihvutctvnininnin you must be joking right?

People have eyes you know.

Team Carrot jokes are a thing you know

Just fyi, I was at the "run soup run" game in 2004 when you guys won in 4.

@@robbyv1476 I was at the "mad dash" game between the 2 teams

I always found Mike Shannon to be kind of unique as a radio announcer. He is a very optimistic, upbeat announcer with a very lighthearted tone. I hear his voice and it just sounds like the sun is always shining and he's just so happy to be there and he's talking to you over the radio like you're his best friend. When his Cardinals win, well of course they did, he knew they would pull through. When they lose, oh well tough luck, we'll get em tomorrow. But because it's always so upbeat, it sounds like he rarely gets too excited or too devastated/disheartened by any one play or game. Maybe he truly believes it's only a game and never loses sight of that. And you kind of expect local radio announcers to be a bit high strung and go crazy when their team makes a big play. But because he never seemed that worried that they might lose, he probably doesn't feel the need to go crazy during big moments that maybe another announcer would lose their minds over. Has kind of this relaxed, familiar "hey, everything is working out just like I knew it would!" vibe instead. Even when Big Mac hit 62. Imagining him getting irritated by anything is kind of amusing to me because its hard to imagine too much bothering him. But then imagining him musing "well, I guess now I get it" is funny because I could totally see him saying that.

Always hate to see it happen to Jeff Francouer

Fr

One of the few times the Pirates are ever well represented.

blunder pirates did it again today against the Cubs and Baez!

Everybody says that but watch foolish baseballs vid on it theres a case for him not tagging him

Seth Hill Lmao slow it down to .25 speed he tags him on the thigh

@@briggsy1142 thats what you think but like the angels that the news showed of that play theres an arguement im not saying its 100% hes safe but like thered a chance

plainnsimple78 yeah if the ball hits the runner while he’s in fair territory he’s out. That’s why runners on third base take their leads in foul territory so just in case it hits them it’s just a foul ball

actually... the rule is: So long as the last thing to touch the ball (besides the ground) is the bat, if the ball hits the runner, the runner is out. However, there are a few caveats to this. If the ball was playable by a fielder prior to this (through the legs, within reach of the fielder in front of the runner, or deflected by the fielder), the runner is not out and the play continues. If the batter is charged with an Infield Fly and the runner is still on the base, the runner is safe. If the runner, after the ball is put into the prior situations, intentionally hits the ball out of the way, he's out and the ball is considered dead. This rule is referred to as Runner Interference.

Something else to know: when this happens, the batter is credited with a single!

I learned that the hard way in little league lol

orange justice dance from fortnite :D

XD

Cant forget Joe Buck, too!

I wanna say someone made a video on that game, maybe SRS?

That was fun read, you got some great memory

Who, who, who, who. No whoms.

If it ricocheted off of the foul pole that’s a home run. Unless it wasn’t back then.

@@Meerkat2112 Dernier's shot down the left-field foul (fair? A ball hitting the line is considered "fair") line did hit the "foul" pole, but BELOW the top of the fence, making it in play, resulting in Kevin Mitchell's comical attempt to retrieve the ball, with un-funny result that night for the Giants. No, the rules, save for ground rules for parks established since, are the same since 1989. There was an article titled "The Year Babe Ruth hit 104 home runs", postulating that under current rules, his tally in, I believe, 1921, would have been that high, mainly due to the rule then in effect extending the "fair line" into the stands and beyond, IAW the umpire's judgement. Since a batted ball in flight tends to curve, they can pass over the outfield fence fair, but land "foul", which, today, makes them a home run anyway. IDK precisely when the rule was changed.

Yeah I'm sure that is the only "walkoff no-hitter" in MLB history. Correct me if I am wrong.

Funny thing is there is no way he gets to hit that inning. Bases loaded with two outs, the inning ends with that AB whether or not the run scores.

Ben Cunningham that is up to the batter/pitcher, and managers. Between innings the grounds crew was trying to get the birds out but obviously fail lol

Jim mi amor ü Mook

That one was for the birds!

Haha

O

Agree but the wall there is only 8 feet high, there's a 98% chance that ball either leaves the yard or is caught.

Please tell full match on this scene

That was the centerfielder...

@@chasewison9760 break it down cause the guy who made 1st play on it was rightfielder

So what happend was the outfield was in the shift and it was hit to the right fielder so the center fielder had to run way farther because he was in the shift

And then throw the ball away from the guy in first base

Probably some damn seagulls, Cleveland being on the lake and all

I was literally thinking the same exact thing

yep and another to the list game 6 1986 world series

I think it's that it happened precisely at midnight...? It does seem like an outlier.

Midnight

I feel like that was the uploaders college highlight or something and he just had to have us see it😂 only logical explanation

theres a whole like 10 minute video about that call, it was SUUUUPER close and almost impossiblke to tell if he was tagged or not but the ump came out ofter the fact and admitted he got it wrong

In my opinion the referee was a little tired after 19 innings and he wanted to go home

@@theDitchdigger456 i don't think the ref ever came out and said he screwed it up. i think he said he is still unsure about the call. You are correct about the 10 minute video though, it looks like he "ole'd" him between his leg and arm, he might have brushed his leg but it's sooooooo close and hard to tell.

Jonatan Cirillo in my opinion if you’re calling an ump a referee you don’t have a place in this conversation. Also what they don’t show in this video is how there may not have been a tag.

@@teusday2378 sorry but I'm not American and in my country we call him referee, just like soccer, basketball and other sports

The pitch, high fly ball, deep into left bAcK aT tHe WaLl, ball game over, the blue jays, are world champions

@@yessir2873 that's exactly how he'd call that too

Can you all please shut the fuck up?

Hgyvtfygyhuh Ygihvutctvnininnin Hes not wrong???

Jonathan Herrera. He used to dump out the bubble gum bucket and put it on his head each time the Cubs had a walkoff - I think they had like 10 that year?

Thats just drip

Haku Father of the god fax

I mean, that’s the cubs for ya

Rough Woof is gum

MrDippledork yeah I watched that one three times and I think the pitcher flinched just a bit which makes it a balk since you are not allowed to try to fake out the hitter. Not a baseball fan so someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

If u look closely the pither moved his body forward a bit and came back, once ur in motion ur not allowed 2 stop so whatever ur gnna do u hve 2 do it

The runner gambled on stealing home right when the pitcher just slightly started his motion. So naturally the pitcher flinched and it was called a balk

@@captainnwalps6689 And to add to that, a balk means that each baserunner moves up 1 base. That's why the man on 3rd base was able to just walk to home plate and end the game.

HH C 6:43

He'll add it to the compilation as soon as Holliday touches home plate

Charlie Walter lol

That's Officer Horgan. He's the same one from Game 2 of the 2013 ALCS.

Bobby Lawson yah I remember when papa hit that and the cop was so excited 😂

The cop is a Boston legend, mostly because of game 2 of the 2013 ALCS

Kurt Gibson walk off 1988 WS??? Ya change the title to the last decade

DSM I believe he is safe you have to really look at the glove it looks to flock just above the leg. There is a video by foolish baseball on it.

The ump just blew the call. That was before replay too.

Bottom of the 19th...ump probably just wanted to go home...

@@carsonshane4678 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j6dyi8KrvJOae5c.html

DSM he missed the tag, it’s pretty clear on the replay

Grandma Taters exactly what I was thinking lol

ikr I would just want to go home by that point

There's no way he was safe there tho lol

That's why you're not an ump. 😂

Ryan M i like your pug

I've never gone to a playoff game I do live in san diego, so there havnt been many games tho. I went to the final round in 2017 wbc

And then he roasted the outfielder in the last clip.

@@toddwynn3397 "How'd your game go tonight?"

Wrong sport but Pisarchik / Czonka fumble taught that lesson.

You not going to put and F for Jose Fernandez

Alexander Newton same

Said this already

Ha that was a terrible call

I think I remember that umpire later realizing and admitted he called it wrong. But also it's the 19th inning. If he didn't miss it on purpose just to go home, I can't really blame him for getting that wrong that far into the night.

There is a video on it by foolish baseball and the catcher missed the tag

TheGFG14 ya he was oit

Alex Thompson no he missed the tag so he’s safe

Teixeira ran the bases even though. That's what good players do.

Good thing you didnt watch the heartbreaks of 07 and 08 against that damn Philly team. That only began the “dark ages” for Mets fan from 07-14 really. Its why the newer generation will say “lol Mets” or something along those lines. Been watching Mets baseball since 1999 as a kid but I started to get really into it in 2006

gacha player03 he was implying that throw beat the runner and the tag was applied. 99% of the time whether he’s safe or not the runners gonna be called out. As a Braves fan, that may be one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen.

@@baileymcknight936 Oh, okay. I thought that he meant that if the throw beat the runner, the runner would almost always be out. But this is just of my understanding. Have a good day XD

If you look closely, the catcher whiffed

I'm a Reds fan and it makes me mad.

Plo Koon if you look at it closely from a certain angle it looks like Lugo wasn’t tagged

He was. It was evident.

Andrew Havens That one where they won their 5th in a row to complete the sweep the brewers was so epic

But I don’t think it was in the video

His mental blunder to throw to 2nd was worse on that same play

He was the ex Marlin right? He also got caught in a rundown to end an extra-inning playoff game vs Cubs in 2003 (the Bartman series).
