If you watch all the videos, you can tell Wally likes George, that’s why he never got in a position to get ejected, he treated George much differently than the other umpires

Tie doesn’t go the runner that’s nowhere in the rule book but love Wally videos. They make me happy.

Wally always rips on George XD

Lol the Austin Powers song on in the background made it that much more funny!

Hilarious is a huge understatement. I love watching these videos. The endless vulgarity is amazing.

Wally should be a ringtone

I love in all the videos of Wally that the first words out of his mouth are "what the fuck is going on?" Hilarious

It's Soul Bossa Nova done by Quincy Jones and his Orchestra. His "Gravy Train Waltz" is another gem,magnificent big band sound.

Made the right call! He was out because he was running inside of the baseline and if the ball hits him or if he interferes with the play he is out.

Every time Wally comes out in the field, he always yells: “Whaaat the Fuck is going on?”

I love how every time Wally argues he starts with What the fuck is going on

When I heard that, I laughed out loud!!! Of course you can!! You make a call, then when the play ends, you can get help from your partner if you think you need to. If he sees something that would cause you to change your call, you do it. It's something that is done all the time.

I don't know how he doesn't lose his mind at that goddamn Austin Powers music

I don't know about that ump's reasoning. How can the foot of the fielder and the runner touch the base at the same time if the fielder was in front of the runner to tag him out. Doesn't make any sense.

You know something is going down when Backman says " What the fuck is going on " xD

"you cant call a guy safe and then out" - uhh yes you can, you have to obviously make a call when a play happens BUT if you are not sure what it really is than you ask a fellow umpire and make then once again re-make the call after you have spoken with ur fellow umpire...Simple actions taken Mr Backman

love the fact this dude has his own theme song ... it plays out well ... hahaha

francobobfred True, but it isn't exactly wrong. If the ball does not beat the runner to the bag, the runner is safe. So, if the runner gets to the bag the exact same time as the ball, the ball did not beat the runner to the bag--so the runner is safe. Or, in other words, "tie goes to the runner."

@GBattackGO

+Carl Saberhagen if the ball and the runner coincidentally reach the bag at the same time the question you ask yourself is, "did the runner beat the ball?" in the instance of a "tie" the runner will never ever beat the ball therefore the runner is out. But the thing about this kind of play is that its a judgement call by the umpire and I can guarantee that it will not be called the same way for every umpire.

@carlsaberhagen628

8 жыл бұрын

Kris Rule 6.05(j): "After a third strike or after the batter hits a fair ball, he or first base is tagged before he touches first base." The key word is BEFORE. A batter is out only if the batter or bag are touched BEFORE the batter reaches the bag. So, if the the batter or first base is touched "at the same time" or "after" then the batter is safe. "At the same time" is the same as a "tie."

@chuckfan1 - I think Backman knew he was wrong or at least didn't have a good case, and that's why he didn't get himself ejected for arguing. But, the umpire who made the second call is also the same umpire who made the initial call, so he overruled himself. The only information provided by the plate umpire was that the first baseman had the ball in front of him - he never said he saw a tag. So it was a murky play on all sides. Entertaining though!

Great call blue!

“Bullshit. You can’t call a guy ‘safe’ and then call him ‘out.’” 😂

@TheSdu2182 the rule state that the runner MUST BEAT THE BALL. in that theory A TIE IS NOT BEATING THE BALL

its usually when in doubt the runner is out

How do you get their voices so clear? They're not miked are they? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

i looked at the linked video of the alternate angle and when i paused it when the runner and the first baseman collided, the runner's foot was on the base before the tag. so that was a bad call and he was ultimately safe.

Russell Brooker the batter runner was outside of the running lane when he made contact with the first baseman. It wasn’t a case where at the every end his foot went out to touch the base. He was completely outside of the lane (except for his right foot) and as he stepped towards the base he made contact with the first baseman while moving toward getting back into the lane.

That’s interference from the 1B man. The runner stepped on his foot.. Plus, I don’t even think the 1B man even touched the bag lol safe.

@brady13001

there's no such thing as "interference" there it'd be "obstruction" that would be the proper term. Second he can be anywhere he wants if he has the ball or the ball is in flight on its way to the fielder. At that point by rule its entirely the obligation of the runner to avoid contact.

@alanhess9306

First of all, the fielder never commits interference. The term you are looking for is obstruction. But a fielder cannot be guilty of obstruction if he has the ball. Slow it down and watch it again. The first baseman had the ball before there was contact.

Is Stevie playing second, short or left in this game😂

Let's all keep in mind Wally saw this from the dugout, not our angle OR the umps.... the real reason he is mad is because the ump initially called the runner safe then switched it once he heard the home plate's ump view, rather his which was much closer...You can't switch on your official call as an ump with no other evidence but another ump's( specifically the ump FARTHEST away from the ball) opinion of what happened.

George seriously was the worst umpire ever 😳

Stevie always in the middle of things

The tag hit his back and the only way that physically happens is if the runner is on the base

You are wrong!!! What part of the rulebook says that a tie goes to the runner???

plate umpire shouldn't be saying a single word to the manager other than "It was George's call, go talk to George"

@alanhess9306

Жыл бұрын

Technically, you are correct according to the book. The problem is that there are no discernable ties in baseball. The human eye is not capable of determining a true tie so one thing happened before the other. Most umpires believe that when the play is so close you can't determine which happened first, they will get the out. One team is going to complain, so you may as well get the out.

no, runner must be in his lane.
