No I’m just saying

Mason Ayres Yes Yes it does

Yeah

Yep. Matters.

Same respect for me

ye he was talking about the thrid basemen. he says whenever he throws to first i’ll go to thrid

Ya it is

i know right!

I know right

It is

Yeah it is

Yeah even the second baseman thought he was gonna tag him lol

That was clean asf

Cricket Mobile

I don’t now

They probably thought he missed the bag when rounding 1st to go to 2nd. He would have been out but he knew he touched it so he took off when they threw over to dispute it

You make it sound like mlb is scripted

​@@mcburrito3111 I was alluding to adjusting/creating new rules, which are essentially there either to enhance the defense or offense. I think MLB could use a few adjustments to enable more batters to reach base. I think there are too many innings when just 0 or 1 batter reaches base, and when a batter does reach, he too often remains at 1B. Most of these plays simply don't happen in those kinds of innings. MLB is aware of this problem, recognizing that too many at-bats are resulting in homers, strikeouts, and walks. But so far, they're taking a very conservative approach to slightly deaden the baseball, which is to encourage batters to go for more base hits rather than all-or-nothing homers. My thoughts admittedly won't be popular, but I think would liven the game a bunch. My biggest measure would move the pitcher's rubber back 3 feet (63'6" from back of home plate) so that it's exactly halfway between the plate and 2B. This of course helps the batter, but pitchers do get the benefit of better pickoff throws to the bases and slightly better reaction time to hard hits at them. Base stealing has decreased as well, so this would pick that back up to where it used to be decades ago (very slightly longer time for pitch to reach the catcher). I'd also expand the bases from 15" to 18", which will reduce tacky outs being called that are totally dependent on slowed down replay with runners momentarily losing contact with the base. (This was rarely called prior to replay because it's not that visible in real-time.) But to help the pitcher's strike zone, I'd expand the plate from 17" to 18" as well. The minor leagues are actually experimenting this season with 18" bases, which should esp help on down-the-line plays at 1B. And if this ends up prolonging the game too much (from outs not coming as quickly), I'd suggest reducing the innings from 9 to 7. Sounds crazy until we see that MLB is already limiting doubleheaders to 7 innings.

Blocked, not covered. Holding the ball, perfectly legal.

You can’t do it if you don’t have the ball, but you can if you are making a play on the ball or just have the ball

OBARI FAN i was wondering the same thing. No clue why they wouldn’t call it.

They have to be camped under the ball or somewhat knowing where the ball is, they were running in to get it so no infield fly to get it

Infield fly was called. Batter was out. Runners on base could advance at their own risk. The runner on 2nd attempted 3rd but was tagged out.

@@donaldthomas7070 the box shows olny 1 out so I guess they just wanted to swap the runner.

Listen to the announcer. But it drops and he’s out (the hitter due to infield fly rule). Then the runner decided to advance and he’s tagged out. That’s the infield fly rule in practice.

Doesn't matter because the catcher dropped the throw

@@8stormy5 Sorry, Stormy, that's just incorrect. You should review what the rules are regarding base running and base paths. The base path is not even established until there is a play attempted on the runner. At that point, the base path is a direct line from where the runner is to the next base. The runner is allowed 3 feet to either side of the line for purposes of avoiding the tag. If the attempt on the runner is abandoned, there is no longer an established base path. On the play in the last clip, the base path was established at the 10:55 mark. The 3 foot margin extended roughly to the outside edge of the dirt. He was within that margin while avoiding the tag. Once he passed the catcher, there was no longer a tag being attempted, due to the catcher misplaying the ball and thus, there was no longer a base path established. As long as the runner did not leave the field of play, he could run around the entire home plate circle if he wanted to. The same applies to a runner rounding a base wide and heading for the next base. A runner could actually run into the outfield grass and still be legal as long as he doesn't leave the field of play and no direct attempt is being made on him. There's no exception made for momentum carrying a runner out of the base path unless the umpire deems there is no direct attempt being made to tag him. You still see plenty of out calls for runners being out of the base path and it's 3 foot margin.

It seems like it was a protest. You can somewhat hear the announcers say something about it at the very beginning of the clip, ".. look at that replay closely". If you feel the runner didn't tag the bag as he ran by, you can throw over and challenge that. If it was determined that he did miss the bag, he would be called out at first.

@@Matthewrents Technically, it was an appeal, not a protest. A protest in baseball is something completely different, as is a challenge.

They're trying to appeal to first base, presumably for the runner at second missing first base on his way to second.

You know you can say that about literally anything right?

He was trying to execute an appeal play, presumably on the runner at second having missed first base

People in other comments said they were double checking if the runner actually touched 1st base. That’s the only thing I could imagine too

logan haas that’s pretty reasonable. Cause I would give them the “cocaine is one hell of a drug” term if they somehow didn’t know he was at second 😂

I think that's exactly what was going on. And since that appeal has to be in a live-ball status (i.e. not in time out), Segura stole third while they were doing it.

No because he had the ball.

pigGRAY I always thought once you do a replay the play was dead and you would move on but I was wrong

@@russiandoge7773 i believe you are correct. Thanks.

He probably hit a double and they were challenging if he missed 1st base

Caleb Wyatt ah ok thanks

It was an attempt at an appeal play

It was an appeal attempt to first base.

He probably hit a double and they were challenging if he missed 1st base

I think because it bounced back fair before it reached the 3rd base line, I don’t know if that was a rule, or if it still applies.

The ball can hit in foul territory and still wind up fair. As long as it wasn't touched in foul territory, and hasn't passed 1st or 3rd base, it can roll fair and be a fair ball.

@@hinney827 Wow, Hinney, I was about to jump on that one and you beat me to it.

shutup kid

Jaxson McCormick no

no your not shutup kid

@@colynsowers7917 why are you telling everyone to shut up kid you probably dont even have a job besides the doing the dishes "kid"

AD4PT your pretty late “kid”

Youre here watching tho

amazing how many of these are the Cubs being dumb as fuck on defense

I'll see you in hell, my guy

Erick what do u mean there is like no cubs on defense there on offense more what do u mean

it's a decent bunt, the smart part is rizzo playing that far in and crashing it that hard to throw the guy out. There aren't too many 1B who can make that play like that.

They were appealing a call at first. My guess is that Segura hit a double, someone thought that he failed to touch first base, and the defense appealed. In order to execute the appeal, the ball has to be live (i.e. they are not in a "time out" status) and the pitcher has to throw to first as if getting the batter out on a hit ball. The umpire at first denied the appeal (signaled safe) and Segura took the opportunity to steal third.

Who cares

Yes, leaving KZfaq comments asking for prayers is what's going to help you. How about trying a doctor?

hope you get better steve

Don’t listen to the haters I’m praying for you get better soon mike.
