That little extra bounce that he did on 2nd base might have actually saved them because he probably would’ve gotten back to first a step sooner. That was some pretty good gymnastics by the first base coach too.

Actually, it's much more than that. If R1 (having gone past second base) had not even retouched second base on his way back to first base and had made it back there going past the batter in the process, the batter would be out and R1 would not be allowed to correct his mistake at second base (dead ball out-of-play situation), meaning that after R1 goes through the motions of rounding the bases to score the apparent winning run, the defense will then appeal at second base over this infraction, taking that run off the scoreboard as well.

It looks like Pelar was confused about why he was being stopped but he had absolute trust in the call by the first base coach. Like someone shouting duck and you don't turn around to ask why, you just do it. I've been on the athlete side of that once or twice, and it worked out just as well as this. Coaches may not be as athletic as they once were but the knowledge they have is second to none.

Sure maybe for super casual fans like yourself, it might be an unusual situation but its not for a coach whos been a player or coach for the last 20-30+ years. They mostly get paid for stuff behind the scenes that you never see
The situational awareness of all 3 of them in the heat of the moment was absolutely on a different level! That definitely deserved a second look!

Hader gave up a walk off home run bomb and tried to make it look less bad by calling it off on a technicality lmao.
I think according to rule 5.06(b)(4)(A), even if the batter had put himself out by passing the lead runner, the lead runner would still have been entitled to continue touching all bases and score a run to end the game. "(4) Each runner including the batter-runner may, without liability to be put out, advance: (A) To home base, scoring a run, if a fair ball goes out of the playing field in flight and he touched all bases legally"

My favorite "missed" smart play was a LONG time ago, Ray Brown OG for the 49ers blocked a DT downfield more than 10 yards, the DT fell down and 6'5" Ray immediately stood straight up, arms at his sides and just stood there. It was a passing play that went past him, I think it was the umpire called him for illegal man downfield and Ray supposedly told him the specific rule that allows him to be so far downfield on a passing play if he "took no further part in the action" (or something like that), and Ray just standing straight up and not moving at all didn't DO anything after that moment and the flag was picked up. That is the first and only time in 40 years of watching sports where I've seen live someone do something the only time I've ever seen it AND explain it to the refs AND win.

The only other case in one of the major 4 where I've seen a guy plead his case and win was when Sam Cassell was on the Clippers. He's on the bench taking a breather, when one of his teammates makes an absolute bonehead play, and compounds it with a foul. Cassell loudly cusses, and the ref Ts him up. Cassell immediately says, "No, not you. I was yelling at my dumbass teammate!" and the ref uncalled the T.

Couple that with his natural gifts (mind for analyzing these plays, voice which exudes excitement) and some luck, and here we are.
I didn't realize that Pillar was with Anaheim now. As a Jays fan, i will always wish him the best wherever he goes. Its crazy that such a skilled ayer has been with so many teams for only a year at a time. I see that he grew up in Los Angeles, so hopefully he can stay put for a while and enjoy being back home.

The best thing the Angels could do now would be to trade Rengifo, Trout (if anyone will touch that contract), and Anderson before the deadline. Huge blunder by not moving Ohtani last year and then falling to make a competitive offer. I have zero faith the Angels will make the right moves though.

Amazing breakdown mate. Also unbelievable baserunning/coaching. Wow
Looked like that fan’s loose jersey also slapped down on his glove - might’ve provided a little extra force that he wasn’t anticipating from the wall alone. Regardless, it’s the sort of play that underlines how rare and special it is to rob a home run. Also, great breakdown on the base running. Would love to see more breakdowns of old plays. Even could be cool to go back years/decades. The newness of the plays usually is unrelated to what makes Jimmy’s analysis so compelling.

Ironically, he used to manage the Astros when they were a bad team. When he was managing them, he caused the Angels to protest a game...a protest the Angels would have won. He subbed out a pitcher; the Angels then sent in a pinch hitter; Porter then was allowed to sub in a new pitcher, even though the one he had just brought in had not pitched to a hitter yet. Mike Scoscia lost his mind and filed a protest. The Angels did win the game, so the protest became unnecessary.
The Hank Aaron mistake in the Harvey Haddix 12 inning perfect game spoiler when Joe Adcock homered in the 13th and Aaron though the ball was caught and went back to first and Adcock was called out for passing Aaron. See, "The Greatest Defeat" in "Strange But True Baseball Stories" by Furman Bisher.

You know why first base coach Bo Porter is making sure he doesn't touch either runner? Because if he does, that's interference. What if Porter touches Pillar to keep him off first base, and O'Hoppe then passes him? They'd likely both be called out.
First of all, it's ridiculous that any baserunning rules whatsoever apply to a homerun. Rounding the bases should be purely ceremonial and not even required, just like throwing 4 pitches for an intentional walk. You can't hit a ball out of the park, and then the other team calls their attorneys to look for technicalities to take it away. If the ball is over the fence, the play is over. The batter and all baserunners score. End of story.
They have a great manager w great base coaching skills
Those LA city connects are still among my favorites
Holy hell, I never knew these base running, base tagging, and coach contact rules were a thing before this breakdown.

Then you can't score on dead ball. It is still a live play and all rules must be obeyed including touching all bases and not passing any other runners on the base paths.
This one play could be a case study on learning about 10 different rules.
Heads up baserunning, awareness, and communication by all 3 people involved. A LOT of people would have messed this up in one of a few ways it was possible, but everyone did exactly what they needed to in a matter of seconds.

Dude you gotta look at the pirates game with the Mets. Two grand slams and 7 home runs with a throw that almost hits cruz's head. Worth the watch and would love a review!
Contrasts greatly with the Yankees recent lack of awareness on the bases. Nice to see the players and coaches be on top of the unusual situations.
