Yeah I think you need to check that again. Very wrong and easy to look up. Try google next time before you comment.

As a UK resident, baseball is rarely shown on TV. It isn't until you see a game live and the distance the ball is thrown with accuracy that you realise how impressive these triple plays are.

That really must be the shittiest feeling as a batter.

Yeah, I agree, it's pretty hard not to get excited when you see a triple play. It just sucks when your team is on the receiving end but it's still great baseball.

My little league team did this when i was in 5th grade. 6-3 triple play when I was playing first. One of the coolest things in baseball.

The Phillies seem to be a triple play machine.

Love that tag of Barry Bonds by Mickey Morandini just before the 5-minute mark! Jeff King hit into that one. The similarly-named Jeff Kent hit into a triple play against the Phillies a few years later - and Bonds, now a Giant, was on base for that one, two.

2:43 the plate umpire clearly signaled a dead ball before changing his mind and signaling it in play. Real poor job there. No wonder the runners stayed put.

I had trouble seeing what was going on. So the umpire thought the ball was foul and called dead ball, but then realized it was fair and let it play out?

The ball being in the batter's box doesn't automatically make it foul. The foul lines extend into the batter box, even if it's not drawn explicitly, and that's what determines fair or foul.

Outside of hitting for the cycle this is my favorite thing in baseball. Thank you for the compilation.

I've never watched or played baseball before but I just can't stop watching these videos

I'll always remember watching that unassisted Rafael Furcal triple play live on tv when I was a kid

3:10 WOW Kendrick Lamar is such an inspiration. I never knew he also played baseball

Realizing that triple plays are not so much of a rarity in baseball. I remember hearing about it first in the original "Odd Couple" movie and it was portrayed as a once in a lifetime event.

its awesome watching a triple play around the horn, like poetry in motion

Damn. An unassisted triple play is even more rare than a perfect game

1:10 He's thinking, "Yeah that's three. Here's the ball ump."

One time we were in the championship it was the bottom of the 9th we were down by 1 and the bases loaded 0 outs and my friend was up He hit a line drive everybody ran and we got triple played on

I've never actually seen a triple play in person. Thank God for these You Tube videos.

As someone who doesn't watch baseball, double plays seem more exciting than triple plays.

Me being a sox fan, we suck... BUT we're pretty good at triple plays ;)

1:25 - the walk off unassisted triple play..... only one in history

Very skilled people throw balls very skillfully, while other people catch the ball very skillfully

Love triple plays

It's funny, I was watching another video about "Heads-up Baserunning", and in several of them, a runner who started on second rounded third and scooted home as the play was being made at first. Often, the first baseman just was slow to respond or not paying attention. And I wondered, that looks awesome, but how often does a guy get thrown out trying that? We saw it a few times in this video!

Phillies sure get a lot of triple plays

0:08 I've heard this commentary so many times playing MLB 09 The Show

Sox had 3 triple plays last year, absolutely incredible

thats cool I hope can do that when I go to the MLB

1:28 makes a good case for Jeff Francoeur as the unluckiest man in baseball. What a terrible way to end a game.

Pitcher's best friend.

The best part of every video is the announcer.

At 00:10, as soon as he touched second he had the triple play, no need for the tag. The guy he tagged had already passed second, and you have to re tag it before going back to first, so if he hadn't re tagged yet, he is already out.

I remember watching 6:55. I couldn't be mad at him, that was amazing.

The 5-4-3 triple plays are the best

I personally think that the triple play requiring all 3 basemens is cooler than unassisted..... that teamwork is so fuking lit

in little league, the other pitcher on my team caught a fly ball (i think), then ran the bases himself to tag the runners out because he knew they wouldn't catch the throw lol

This is the most exciting play in baseball.

Why the did you not show one of the Cardinals triple plays?

man those old dbacks uniforms were hideous

unassisted triple play, insane!!!

Love the videos keep it up!

I don't follow baseball, so I'm not sure of the what's going on with some of these - I'm guessing that at 1:28, if the batter is caught, the runners go back to their bases, so the triple play is batter caught out, the runner who was on second base (& presumably on his way to third) is out when dude who catches the ball puts his foot on the bag & the runner on first is tagged out by the same dude with the ball in his hand as he was on his way to second. Is that right?

@fryncyaryorvjink2140

7 жыл бұрын

RobertDeville yeah, if you catch it before it hits the ground the batter is out. the runners can't leave their base until its caught, but you are allowed to stand off the base, you just have to go back and tag it before running for the next base. So when the fielder near second base catches a line drive, which is hard to tell if it has bounced from a runners perspective, its easy for the fielder to just tag 2nd, making the runner who just left it out, then he can either tag the runner from 1st or throw to 1st

@oldsaltshippers

7 жыл бұрын

Cheers Nabre Labre, much appreciated - I guess that to tag a runner out, the man on base has to have his foot or some other part of his body on the bag with the ball in his hand - it seems that sometimes touching the base isn't needed (2 guys chasing down a runner between bases) & other times it is (to tag a runner out before he gets to the base) - is that right as well & if so, why is there a difference?

@fryncyaryorvjink2140

7 жыл бұрын

You can only tag the base with your foot on a "force out". So when the bases are empty, the batter can only run to 1st base, all you have to do is hold the ball and step on first base, and he's out. As long as there are no empty bases behind the runner, tagging the base in front is a force out, even home plate. If there is a runner on 1st and 3rd and the ball is hit, you can tag 2nd for a force out. If the runner on 3rd runs in this situation, there is no one in front or directly behind him, you will have to tag the runner for an out. You can only tag the runner with whichever hand is holding the ball. Sometimes a runner will get stuck between two bases and the fielders will chase him throwing the ball to the guy on the other side, this is a "pickle" or a "run-down"

I was at the game for the unassisted triple play against the Mets. It's should've been a game tying single for Francoeur. But Collins called a double steal and ruined it for everybody.

these are some skilled camera men, my God

the cameramen are absolute beasts catching all this action

Triple plays are front awesome

I fell like the dodgers, braves, and brewers were in a lot of these

This is why I love the White Sox

Love this

So note to self, if you’re the white Sox or Phillies then you turn triple plays, if you’re the dodgers you should work on your base running

Wow !! - say 15 seconds per play - 8.5 minutes, 34 triple plays. - 63 triple plays have occurred since 2000. - 1 in here dates back to 1982. This probably took more time and effort the we can imagine. THANKS.

At 4:54, a base doesn't make you safe. I thought a throw to first was necessary to complete the triple play. The runner from first was tagged out while stepping on second, but he had to go back to first. That's why I thought a throw to first was a necessary 'formality'.

In some of these, the announcer talked about an unassisted triple play at 2nd base. It seems clear that the catch is the first out, then the runner heading towards second runs right into the tag. Would I be correct in thinking that the runner who has already left second cannot return once the base has been tagged? Please excuse my incomplete knowledge of the rules.

What about in 2014 with the indians at dodgers when Puig flew out to CF, then he try the man out at the plate and threw it to second but puig was called safe. After that, don mattingly (LA manager at that time) challenged the call at the plate but it stood. Then Terry Francona challenged the safe call at 2nd and it was reversed and he was called out

Baseball isn't a contact sport. Said everyone that's never played baseball.

Fascinating. Loved this. I'm not certain, however, that a "triple play" that commences with a strikeout is really a triple play, regardless of how the announcers characterized it. After all, a strikeout followed by a throw-out on a steal is not called a "double play", is it?

Gotta love them Astro’s

I looked it up. Apparently there are only 5 per season on average or 716 times since 1890 or so. Cheers

6:20 poor dude just had to tag the runner and that's unassisted, why did he do that to himself?
