Doesn't the umpire have to put the ball in play? If the pitcher doesn't have the ball how can he legally declare the ball in play?
I think it's pretty fucking clear he said worst teammate not worst team. I mean sure his behavior was immature. He threw a glove big deal Bryce Harper threw a fucking helmet. Baseball players have emotions and sometimes those emotions carry over into childish actions. But he clearly did not say worst team.
Foot on rubber then lead easy rule everyone should know😅😅😅😅😅
This is why it’s super important to know the rules of the game *before* discussing the rules of the game. Watch some college baseball and you’ll hear a distinctive metallic ping when batters hit the ball. That should be a big clue that there are rule differences between OBR (which Antonelli references) and NCAA (which actually govern here). NCAA 9-3-f states that the pitcher cannot even enter the dirt circle of the mound without the ball. This makes it even easier for a college player to avoid this trick.
We tried this once on my son's team after an infield huddle, but we picked the wrong base. Runner on second took his lead, but the ball was with the 3rd baseman -- coach told him to wait until the pitcher stepped on the rubber. The only downside with this play is the little shame when it doesn't work.
Most umpires will call time when an infield huddle happens. If time is called, the hidden ball trick is impossible.
Whoever thinks that Ruth wouldn't be able to hit in today's game needs to get professional psychiatric help. The numbers prove it. If Ted Williams says he's the best ever, he is. Today's pitching his horrible. 60% of today's pitchers wouldn't have been able to make the major league roster just 40 years ago. That's why the games are horrendously long, because of the horrible pitching. when teams combine for 20 walks a game, that should tell you something about the quality of pitching. Ruth would eat these guys alive.
Braves fan here......seems about right.
I wonder if that was something they noticed in the advanced scouting report.
Next time when that third baseman gets up to bat...☄️💥
Where’s the camera on the pitcher as he watches the ball leave the yard?
the kid going to first got it on the correct side of the bag more
it comes down to training. I see catchers go to first more...and have seen plenty of righty catchers ding the runner in the back going to first when throwing to first. A lefty catcher has a huge advantage on bunts going to first. Baseball needs to open this position up to lefties
99% of the arguments against lefty catchers can be remedied with a shift in positioning prior to the throw. A lefty can just train to account for a steal at third by adjusting his hips when catching like all catchers...ALREADY DO! The reason is because baseball is run by stubborn old guys
I love these trick plays. My favorite is the fake over-thrown ball to first on a pickoff. The pitcher throws to 1st high (but catchable) and the 1st baseman catches the ball BUT runs back as if the ball was thrown over his head. This involves everyone on the team to sell it. The pitcher starts yelling and pointing, catcher runs up the line to 1st, 1st baseman and right fielder runs over to get the imaginary overthrown ball, etc. The right fielder has the "eyes" for this play ... he yell "GET HIM" when the 1st baseman should turn and throw to 2nd.
3rd base coach should of told the guy to stay on the bag.
This is the best breakdown I have seen on Barry Bonds!! Thank you
Thanks!
🤔🙀👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@zachansen8293 has great comment below: Why didn't the runner's 3 base coach help? Not to blame shift- great vid but seems like the coach was suckered too??
Which part of this video makes you think he didn't say anything?
Baseball should be called “Fool the umpire.”
Double cheat Freeman blocked first base with his knee
I wonder what the pitcher was doing while the third baseman was holding the ball?
This is not fair He should have told the runner “just so ya know-I have the ball…”
3rd base coach fell asleep as well
why isn't this the third base coaches job to tell the runner to stay on the base? What else does that guy even have to do other than watch the ball and make sure this doesn't happen?
Who says he wasn't saying that/doesn't say that? When I was still young enough to play sports I definitely remember, literally everyday, people ignoring the coaching. And it seems like thats worse the higher the level and even more so today. Ultimately it's the base runners job to make sure he's doing things right. He has definitely been taught, multiple times, to not take a lead until the pitcher is in the mound. And I'm pretty sure he was also briefed, with the rest of the team, that Clemson likes to run this play. Coaches can only do so much.
From little league up through mlb, those 3rd base coaches are nearly worthless. They seem to do nothing, fall asleep, and generally just end up being spectators with on-the-field seating. I think the 3rd base coach should get an absolute ass-chewing. He’s there, in big part, to coach and prevent bad behavior. He watched his guy leave early and merely stood and watched.
Your video is poor quality and missing the frames needed which show the ball as it passes the top of the wall, bounces off the wall or the pole, and then bounces out left of the foul pole, but after hitting the ground first.
Always great to hear the brick shithouse reference. It is not used enough.
He was safe. Umpires suck.
kudos to the third-base umpire for immediately signaling "fair". a lot of umpires forget the PEMDAS of call priority on a play: ball/strike, fair/foul, safe/out. the pitch was hit into play, so ball/strike is moot. he signaled the ball "fair", so there's factor #2 resolved. what he forgot to do (re: safe/out) is to IMMEDIATELY signal "home run" or "ground rule double" so EVERYONE would know DEFINITIVELY. it's HIS CALL and HIS CALL ALONE, and once he makes it, THERE IS NO APPEAL. and every player should know, regardless of the emotion of the moment: you RUN THE BASES until your are TOLD NOT TO. in summary: third-base umpire signals "fair" then "home run". all runners, including the batter-runner, complete the proper touching of all bases. game over, no fuss. i always wonder why game-ending situations cause umpires, coaches, and players to forget the basic rules of the game.
When guys/women start moving up to high school and college level the skipper would call you by your name. PS I like the poster that's behind you so cool.
hahahaha awesome well done boys
Silly question, if the pitcher does step onto the rubber without the ball in this situation, is that considered a balk? Thanks for the video.
Yes, that is a balk.
Yup!
Love it! We just stole home last week in an exact similar situation. Weak batter at the dish, I gambled on sending the runner to steal home instead of the batter getting his job done and it paid off. 😆🤓
Wouldn't it have been good enough to just tag the runner with his glove that contained the ball? He would have had to show the umpire afterwards, of course.
He was about to give up on the play. That’s why he took the ball out. Then seized his opportunity a split-second later.
Any guy that big doing that at like 34, has got to be the most horrendously athletic guy of all time. I am specifically looking at Salavador Perez as other footage of him seems to have him starting sideways on his knees. It would seem to be a good way to preserve a ballplayer. He started out even this season mashing unexpectedly I'd think.
Obviously, the third base coach was fooled, too. Otherwise, he would have told the runner to stay on the bag.
Some rule specs allow for them to be on the mound area.. but all of them, if the pitcher is astride or engaged with the rubber..and he don't have the ball.. That by most rules I have seen is a balk.. others just being on the mound would qualify.. So as he said.. just wait until they are on the rubber and you will always be fine no matter what rules you're playing.. When I've officiated, I had one attempt at getting it to work.. but they didn't realize that A. I knew where the ball was.. and B. it was a dead ball situation so I could NOT put the ball in play.. of course he was stride and in that rule spec would have been balk had it not been a dead ball situation.
50-60 games feels about right. Every game and every loss should matter.
1:34 "If the pitcher is on the rubber, he needs to have the ball." It's even more restrictive than that. NCAA rule 9-3-f states that the pitcher cannot stand with either foot or both feet on any part of the dirt area of the mound without possession of the ball. Runners are taught to never take a lead until the pitcher is on the mound.
Rule 9-3-f also includes this: during a hidden-ball-trick attempt.
Apparently this runner was not taught.
@MwD676 or he fell asleep that day - tomorrow he's running laps!
I love hidden ball tricks when they’re pulled off. The intangible part is the team it’s pulled on gets so annoyed it can change the whole momentum of a game. It’s embarrassing and a bit humiliating. Plus they know they’ll end up these videos.
You’re smoking Jomboy with the content! The speed is amazing.
I just happened to see it and thought it would make a cool video. Sometimes I get lucky lol
@@AntonelliBaseball I appreciate that you use these fun examples for education as well as entertainment. Way beyond playing anymore, but I still learn from these.
I only watch that channel by mistake; I really can't stand his videos. @AntonelliBaseball all the way
I once was able to pull off that play at 3rd base. I was about 9-10 yrs old now 74 yrs old and still remember it. The poor kid who I tagged out started crying and his coach was yelling at him. I felt kinda bad for about a second.
Same here 😂. That drilled it in my head to not be that guy falling for that.
Jomboy just came out with an over view of this play and he has better quality video and it clearly shows the ball hit in front of the wall and bounce over. It’s in his Things You Missed video from June 2nd.
Again, what the heck is the third base coach doing, eating a hot dog? Why is he even out there? Save the salary money and just do without him. If you’re going to always blame the base runner, do away with base coaches altogether, that way the base runner knows there is no one to help him. Hell they don’t seem to be helping now anyway.
I can’t say on this exact play and every team is different, but there is a lot for some to do. When I coach third, I’m also calling the offense, so after the out is made I’m already thinking about what we could be doing that next pitch. I’m probably already going through signs by this point. I feel you cant really hold everybody’s hand on the bases. Our basic rule that we teach is, don’t take a lead until the pitcher is on the runner and you’ve got your sign. If you don’t follow the rule, it’s on you.
He was talking to the runner about something when the trick started.
Holy shit, it wasn't a home run
Best advise ever...just wait until pitcher touch the rubber. No worries where the ball is at the point and time.
It's a bit of overkill as the P just entering the circled area around the rubber w/o the ball would be a balk in a situation like this. But yeah, waiting until rubber is best for most.
The dirt of the mound in NCAA. Approximately 5 feet from rubber in NFHS. On or straddling the runner in OBR. But, yeah. If he’s touching, runner is safe to lead off.
Interesting to note that it looks like he actually gave up on the attempt, took the ball out of his glove and wanted to throw it back to the pitcher, but pitcher probably not looking at him so he took one final glance at the runner, and jumped.
I actually think he took the ball out to make sure 3rd base ump was watching what was going on.
You're right. Dude was still on the bag when Matt originally said he went. He wasn't until that 2nd glance when he saw him move out of the corner of his eye. He wouldn't have waited as long to tag him if he was off the after the first glance
Yes he said he was about to give up on the play in the postgame interview
Exactly, in spite of Matt having played at a high level his whole life, he often misses intricacies such as the one you just pointed out.
@@robprator5890No, that would not be a really smart way to play it. If you show the ump, you show it to the opposition too. Furthermore, the third baseman does not actually give the umpire a look at the ball. He wanted to give up on it thinking the runner and third base coach had picked up on it, and just as he took the ball out of his glove he saw the runner leave his base. Although this time the play worked out, it wasn't played very convincing. But hey, Matt's clickbait worked for him.....
the celebration is really annoying.... LIke we get it... good job... take a chill pill my guy
No man, they just traded an opponent on 3rd for an Out by using their smarts. They earned their brief celebration..
Speak for yourself David. “WE get it” ?? no, I don’t get it so don’t say we. I’ve never pulled off a hidden ball trick in a regional game.
💯✊🏾
Under NCAA rules, it is a balk if the pitcher has either foot on the dirt part of the mound without the ball.
Really? At what point does that start? Obviously, after they pitch they will have feet on the mound without the ball.
@@McLovin1759 I think it only applies if someone other than the P or C had it last. In that case, the P can't enter chalk w/o the ball.
During the hidden-Ball-trick attempt. Found this rule online.
