I've been force feeding baseball to my wife for 26 years now. She didn't know a foul ball from a pine tar rag in the beginning. This June we will visit our 17th ball park (Detroit) and she's watched hundreds of games on the tube. She can now discuss the hidden things of the game, like this play that make the game so interesting. We had dinner with friends once and one of them said that baseball is so boring. My wife just said "it's only boring if you don't know what you're looking at". I married the right girl.

What an amazing camera angle for this play, that throw home is a work of art!

That is such a perfectly executed play by the 3rd baseman. Moves in to get the short hop, great exchange, perfect balance on the wrong foot throw and an absolute dart right at the catchers chest. That’s all in a matter of 3 seconds and done perfectly

That was a hell of a play by the 3rd baseman to make a good throw on the run with the runner directly in his line of site to the catcher.

I’ve played baseball for decades. This was a great breakdown of what is happening. Well done!!!

Fantastic breakdown and rules explanation. Incredible play for all 3 players, truly at the highest level.

Goes to show how much craft is involved in the game of baseball and how good the professionals can be.

The first thing I thought of when I saw the play was how well the 3rd baseman executed the play. He charged the ball, got it cleanly on the short hop (and it almost hit the seam where the grass meets the dirt), and made a quick throw that was right on target. I did learn, though, that the runner can run inside the baseline. I would have guessed that he would have been called out.

Situation was 1 out with runners on 2nd (McCutchen) and 3rd (Reynolds) with Santana batting.. This occurred on the top of the 4th with the Pirates leading 4-1 over the Reds. Pirates won the game 5-4. Opening day this year (March 30, 2023).

It’s really good that you show a play like this. Showing inside knowledge to average fan. I’ve always coached that little things make a big difference in the end & baserunning is something that gets overlooked a lot . I had a day with Davey Lopes in the mid seventies when I played at Huntington Beach HS. We had an in with them in that Mark Cresse was an assistant coach at our school & he was starting his career with the Dodgers as a bullpen catcher& he would bring guests to our practices, Andy Messerschmidt was another Dodger to show up. I learned more about baserunning that one day than the rest of my time playing combined. 😀

Only thing to add.. for there to be an interference call, you would have to see the runner react to the throw and try to get into the path.. since he can't see the throw.. best he can do it guess... this is legal.. but if he saw where the throw was going and changed his path to intercept.. then you have INT... but since he does have the right to run the bases.. he can run where he maximizes his chances of getting in the way..

Another great job Matt of teaching the finer points of the game. The little things MATTER!

Great analysis from every perspective. What's amazing this that these guys calculate all this in a split second and just do it instinctively. Anyone who has played organized competitive baseball knows that pro baseball players aren't just really good, they are REALLY REEEAALLLYY good!!

These breakdowns are great. So many permutations you have to prepare for as a fielder (and runner) that adds nuance to the game that is easily missed if you only watch at the surface level. Even a routine 5-3 put out can look easy, but when you consider positioning when the balls hit, and that its like a 40 yard throw, and then the fielders throwing off the back foot and across the body, it's so much fun to watch!

@daves536 Жыл бұрын

Great breakdown of this play. I know you were doing an "If there were other runners on base scenario".......but, we can easily deduce the bases are not loaded, otherwise the catcher has a force play at home and would not be applying a tag.

@dogpatch75

Its great to see this excellent explanation of the runner's base path and how the runner can use the rules to his advantage. It is amazing how many players, coaches, umpires, fans, and sports casters do not know the difference between the terms "base line" and "base path"! I laugh every time I hear someone commenting about a base runner running out of the "base line".

@DebraJean196 Жыл бұрын

Nice in-depth analysis. Amazing how much thinking goes on in such a short period of time by each of the three players involved. Heads up play across the board, but poetry by the third baseman!

@TheFishdoctor1952

After another year watching college baseball, it is amazing the difference in knowledge between college and pro ball. In college, the runner usually runs away from the catcher to avoid the tag.
