He didn't show any other indication that might tip the team off to their stupidity. It's not the ump's job to play the game for them. He just let everything unfold calmly and quietly. Excellent umping! They always say... don't count your chickens before they've hatched! In other words... celebrate when you know it's time and not before. Oops!

If either one of them had been a clean play, the game would have ended before the final batter.

My only question is, what made the catcher put the ball in his pocket after missing the tag and looking back to see the ump signaling safe? It may be a question only the catcher can answer, but im curious

*Catcher:* I tagged him! *Umpire:* No, he's safe. *Catcher:* Not if I put the ball in my pocket and go celebrate. *2nd Baseman:* _)

Heads up play by the batter for never giving up and taking what he was given.

@jhandle4196

. . . although continuing to run beyond 2nd base was a mistake. His run was meaningless, and by being off base, he could have been tagged for the third out before the two runners ahead of him scored. Running to 2nd would have been the correct thing had the 2nd runner been held on third as that would have eliminated a force play at 2nd base on the subsequent batter. In any event, that will have to go down as the biggest bonehead play of that catcher's life. Let's hope anyway.

Actually I’ve been a die hard baseball fan my entire life, I am 57 years old, and I still don’t understand why this rule exists, but it’s still the rule in every level of baseball. I should also say that while it doesn’t happen in every game, it actually occurs more than people realize. (The dropped 3rd strike.) It’s just that 99% of the time, the batter is either tagged out or the catcher throws to first, it would never end this way. This is probably more information than you want, but I have seen a few times where the batter makes it to 1st base before the throw, in which case he is safe and the inning continues, but again, never like this. It’s a weird rule I really don’t like, but to your point, it can create some excitement from time to time.

Tough lesson learned. Two of my children were catchers. This was drilled into them. Finish the play!

When I coached kid's baseball, I always told them when in doubt hold onto the ball and walk / run to home base! That way you can sort out what is going on and no one can score! The amazing thing is at least one of the players knew they messed up!

It took me a while to understand. Two outs and a dropped third strike you must throw them out no matter what bases are occupied. Less then two outs you only have to throw to first if first base is empty, otherwise it could be a “cheap double play” since the runner on first would have to run to second and if first and second are occupied the runner on second has no chance to make it home and if bases are loaded all the catcher would have to is pick up the ball tag home and throw to third for two easy outs.

I think the catcher feels like or knows he tagged the runner and assumed the game was over. Maybe the ump didn't see the tag so it's not over. As another commentator stated, it should be a tie game after the catcher put the all out of play (in his pocket.) It's like an overthrow into the stands for example, the runners all can advance one base only. The ump fucked up. Should have been tie game runners 2nd and third, next batter up.

@@krissantana4660 No the umps called it correct.

If you look at the catcher as runs are scoring, he even makes the safe sign toward the second baseman as he is being screamed at for the ball. Sometimes it the little things that cost you big opportunities.

This reminds me of the Winnipeg Goldeyes, when they were playing the Wichita Wingnuts. The Wingnuts thought they had won a championship, but it was a balk. But they celebrated. The Goldeyes rallied to win the series. I was at the game.

I've seen a catcher drop the third strike with two outs and the bases loaded. He picked up the ball and stepped on home plate to force out the runner on third, ending the inning.

The Ump clearly gives the catcher a safe sign as he didn't call the batter out ,but still continues to act like they had won the game. Why would the catcher call his own shots and act like he did tag the batter when in fact he didn't? Wouldn't more guys on the defensive team look around and see the players from the other team rounding the bases and maybe think something is going on here?

I don't think the catcher was acting like he tagged the batter. When he pointed to first base, I think he was indicating (might have even said) that there's a runner on first.

I wouldn't call it the way you describe. The rule you quote about the ball out of play covers when the ball is inadvertently put out of play, like the ball over thrown into the stands or the ball is lodged in some in accessible place. Intentionally holding the ball by the catcher is not the same thing. For all intents and purposes, he is still in control of the play and play should not be stopped by the umpire because the ball is still available. How this played out is exactly the right call on the part of this umpire. The defensive team still has the ball to put back into play but they don't. Everyone should be allowed to advance as far as they can. In this case the bases are cleared. I don't get the coaches arguing with the umpire. If they want to yell at anyone, gather their team around, except the second baseman, and rip them a new one for being idiots. Then learn to actually coach your team about the rules of the game.

I love this so much

1. In the last inning the defense gave up 4 runs before the last play. 2. The ball was dropped on the third strike, which the ump signaled properly first that it was a strikeout and then that the batters current status is safe. 3. Catcher should have made sure it was an out by throwing it to first. 4. The catcher stuffs the ball in his back pocket which does not kill the play, it was not thrown into his pocket, hit into his pocket so the play continues. Good call by the ump.

The catcher was more worried about putting the ball in his back pocket. At that point the game was over. Great awareness by Pal-Mac. The errors in the bottom of the 7th is what really lost this game.

Thank you for explaining this factually.

Rules 5.01(b), 5.06(c) If a batted or thrown ball inadvertently goes inside a player or coach’s uniform, lodges in the catcher’s face mask or paraphernalia, or is intentionally placed inside a player’s uniform (e.g., in a pants pocket), the umpire shall call “Time.” The umpire will, using common sense and fair play, place all runners in such a manner that, in the umpire’s judgment, will nullify the action of the ball going out of play. As soon as the Umpire saw him put the ball into his pants pocket he should have Called Time and at this point it’s a judgement call. I would default to giving each runner 1 base from the time the ball was placed there. So the Batter and R1 are definitely going to be put on 1st & 2nd base. R2 is hard to tell from this video. He may have already made it to 3rd base which would mean he scores in that scenario. Unless I was 100% R2 hadn’t touched 3rd yet this is what I would’ve ended up enforcing. If I was 100% sure R2 hadn’t reached 3rd yet it would be Bases Loaded with 2 outs and next Batter comes in to hit.

I think everyone is forgetting how young these brains are. The catcher's brain quickly switched when he saw his friends celebrating. The pitcher certainly was (the leader of the D) and my guess is he couldn't throw it to 1st because the 1st baseman was prob celebrating. Horde mentality is everything at this age, especially within a team culture. He looks to even get dogpiled. The fact others ran onto the field also created an unique situation but the ump did the right thing by letting the chaos just play out. A real bummer of a situation and something they'll think about forever.
