Willie Mays Hayes

+Tony Miller you may run like hayes but you hit like shit

John Smith He's a dumb hypocritical jackass who probably thinks he could have done better in the moment. F him.

Exactly what I was thinking. Through the umps peripherals Ellis looked to have caught the ball (pitch was high, glove was high, tag was made at the plate). It happens so fast you have to time to look at the glove, the ball, the runner, and the tag. Incredible steal though.

John Smith Especially because as an umpire, you are supposed to be forcing your eyes ahead of the play like that. Had the catcher caught the ball, the call would have been correct. Once he realized the ball wasn't there, he corrected himself. It wasn't a terrible call at all. It was an umpire doing the right thing.

yeah exactly, you can always go back and correct the call once realizing the ball is not in the fielder's possession. you want to focus all your attention on the bang-bang play, meanwhile. this is why some umpires will delay an "out" call for about a second or two, while they wait for the fielder to show them they have the ball.

CanadaMMA Technically an umpire is suppose to make sure the ball is in the back of the glove. But yeah everything else is understandable. And the umpire is only human as well. The main thing the announcer gets wrong is what everyone gets wrong. It has to deal with biases. There are several, hindsight bias, the bias you have when going for a team, etc. This has to deal with the perfect knowledge bias. The announcer has the better view of the ball and backend of the play (meaning if the ball is out of the glove, and past the catcher), and wrongly gives that knowledge to the umpire. To criticize the announcer for this seems shortsighted to me, as all humans possess this bias at differing points in our lives regardless of whether or not we admit it. This is where I think Joey G's comment is immature and extreme, and basically everything he accused the announcer of he is guilty of being himself.

No kidding. Padres long time announcer/full time douchebag Dick Enberg at his finest.

DEMOLITIONZ27 fuck you, Enberg is a legend.

Did you see how emphatically he called him out?

Nope, i do it every time I'm at third. I get a lead, the pitcher will either throw to third or start his wind up, but in either case i break for the plate and slide to the inside and I'm safe about 65-70% of the time

Robert Snider maybe i should make a tutorial

Robert Snider Yes, please do!

Unless u get maxed out speed w/ licensed equipment

i couldn't even do it in mlb 12 the show and my guy was maxed out.

What do u mean

Lol

+Dennis Vargas Baseball players are so naughty

Thank you!

If you think about it, it is stealing the base because it was not given to you nor was it on a hit. You attempted to steal home, caught in a rundown and avoided the tag. Therefore, you stole homebase

I can see where you're coming from but I don'[t see it that way. The straight attempt to steal isn't there. That's how I see it.

Understandable, but in the books, it's counted as a steal

+Howard Barnett Screw it, I looked it up. "If he is picked off a base, but makes it to the next base, whether directly, or by successfully surviving a run down play, he also gets credit for a stolen base Note: as unfair as this is, the steal is charged to the catcher. i.e., his percentage of runners thrown out goes down, even though he was not involved on that play If he is picked off a base, and is thrown out trying to advance then he is charged with caught stealing Note: Similarly to the above example, the catcher here gets credit for the CS." BUT "On a double steal if one runner gets credit for a steal, award the other runner a stolen base as well Reasoning: This is giving the baserunners the benefit of the doubt. If a throw to third base is not in time, the assumption is that the catcher threw to the base he had the best chance of getting, therefore the runner stealing second would have been safe if the throw went there as well If one runner is thrown out, then do not give the other runner anything. His advance is treated like a fielder’s choice." So, runner goes from 3rd, avoids the rundown, stolen base. Double steal, other runner gets thrown out and you score, fielder's choice.

Wut

what are u talking about??.. the very 1st one was a steal on the pitcher. Was just like ellburys, pitcher had the ball.

Alpha-Q-Up Your right my bad. I still think Ellsbury's was the best.

The Villar one though was a perfect home plate steal, wasn't it?

Jonathan villar was a steal

No one will have a better steal at home than Jackie Robinson

Reason i came to watch this video lol

+P kells12 me too XD

Ernesto Arce i was a fan of him too until he abused steroids twice and got arrested lol.

IS MOTIONING TO BOTH PLAYERS...

qazwsx And the Dodgers celebrating in their dugout...

Cobb has both. 8 in 1912, and 54 for his career.

+Nicky Depaola Carew had 17 steals of home in his career. Nobody in his era or since has come very close (I think Molitor had 10), but it was much more common earlier in the century.

+Vin Rabideaux ...Thanks for that stat!

Yup. Dick Enberg at his douchiest.

Fascinating.

NOOOO.

Taxi Talk NYC He missed him both times. Even the catcher knew he missed him, which is why his hand went to his glove to throw him out. Also notice the catcher doesn't even contest it.

That first one took major balls to do that

Taxi Talk NYC great call as many would call him out. He missed him both times the catcher didn't even protest. Watch it again at 1:55

(͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) it will happen

He did

@Brandon Riley yeah i know i saw it on espn after posting this

It was awesome

1st steal was sometime during the 2013 season

No he didn't in all honesty

Clearly missed the tag

At least spell his name right :P

David Abbatangelo Royals fan here, and throughout the broadcast they showed multiple replays indicating Gomes missed him. That said, Esky wasn't credited with a stolen base, on the play. They scored it as Gordon getting a steal and Esky advancing on the throw.

Michael Mehicani ummmm... wiping something off his friends hand, smelling it, then licking it off his hand with a huge smile? good catch!

lol, that whole trio is goofy looking.

+Dylan Pavlak THANK YOU. I hate when I'm watching awesome videos like this from any sport and it's ruined by the music. Just let the announcer's voice go!

Sorry this is late but the dirt came up because escobar planted his cleet into the ground when he took off and he must be tagged by the catcher who barely whiffed him
