Been around much longer

Yes he missed but you cant be on the bag if there is no play there

Your a hero

How do you NOT touch the bag while running? Weird.

Ummm.....there was no proper appeal. Just because the player says he did? A proper appeal has to be made to call the runner out.

Hey I know this is an old video but I appreciated this review. There seemed to have been a lot of hype a few years ago and there isn't that much modern info on it, but all the info from a few years ago seems to be pretty positive. Thinking it might be really fun for gymnastics or skateboarding. You made this video 3 years ago... do you still use these or still think they are worth the money? thanks again.

As an umpire, I am always watching baserunners to make sure they touch. (It’s tough to watch everyone with a two man crew but we do our best). Coaches have no idea how many outs they could steal if they watched for missed touches

What a petty rule especially when there's not even a play on the ball there.

A player can not appeal a play.

Yeah he knew he didnt tocuh the bag because he tried to block it. He knew the kid couldnt get to it cleanly even thoigh he wasnt making a play.

The fact the ump had to be told doesn't sit right with me tbh if the ump didn't see how can he call it

I glad the correct call was made. But I’m tired of seeing players telling the refs what to call them they call it. The ref should be the one who sees it and calls it. If he doesn’t see it move on, or if it’s that’s bad review it

Couldn't that also be interference on the defender?

That is definitely not how an appeal is done

I dont get how you miss a bag and dont go back for it.

He did touch the bag. When his right foot came up, you could see the bag move. Either that, or his shadow messed me up.

Did the umpire just take the defender at his word or did he see the runner miss the bag himself and was just going to allow it?

My question is if he saw him not touch the bag why did he wait for you to say something and if he didn’t see it why did he just believe you

If you ain’t cheating you ain’t trying 🤷‍♂️

Had that happen in Junior High. I was the catcher & we were getting slammed by the other team. Guy hit the ball right to the fence & sped around the bases, an infield 3 Run HR. But I looked at the Umpire & pointed to second base. "hey ump, if he missed 2nd his run doesn't count right?" I got my answer as the Umpire called him out on the last at bat. His coach, team & parents were very confused. We still got beat, but it was oddly satisfying

Batter should have called interference by fielder covering the bag

I know it’s on video but it seems like the ump is just taking the kids word for it lol

Why are wearing hoodies

What team is green

Why is the shortstop wearing so much shit? Is that a hood? And a full size towel?

He had one job..

He kinda waved at the base as he went by it. Close enough. 🤣

Did the ump see it or just take the fielders word for it?

Runners front toe hit the bag. You can watch 2nd base flip up a bit as he lifts his foot

That's not how you appeal.

This isn’t how an appeal works.

These are the same athletes that drop the ball before crossing the goal line in football. Just haphazardly going through life.

I don't know. It looked like he hit the side of the base with his toe. If you watch closely, you can see a ripple in the base fabric as he makes brief contact. I'm surprised it didn't trip or at least cause a slight stumble.

I cannot say I ever did that in my career of playing. I was always really weird about touching the base. Even if I had to do a special ed kind of shuffle to make sure I time it up right. lol That awesome though he got the call. Most blues don’t even pay that close attention.

There was no appeal! Not even the umpire knows what he’s doing!

They just the fielders word for it?

Better ump than the ones in the World Series

Did the Ump just make a call based on advice from a player?

I feel like he was trying to avoid destroying the fielders ankles

Wait.... So the ump didn't see? What happens if he did touch up and guy said that?

Whats the song?

worst baserunning i ever seen.

The player has great baseball IQ.

As a baserunner touching the bases is kinda important

How the hell do you do that as a base runner? Insane.. literally from instructional league, it's instilled in you to touch the bag.

all a show. only 3 people and camera. no ball in glove. missed intentionally. hand and glove open. no ball shown

How in the world do you miss the bag??? Wasn’t even close.

So wait you meawhy dont every player do this when an ump isnt looking
