Here's a fun fact. Whenever the runner is picked off, but runs to the next base instead of diving back to his original base (Runner on first tries advancing to second instead of diving back to first) and is tagged out, that actually gets scored as a "Caught Stealing" for the catcher, despite him not even touching the ball.

As much as we fuss at umpires, I am amazed they can make accurate calls like this. I won't even mention the deadly accuracy of the throws. We're talking out by inches.

I played against two powerful catchers in my day; Jeff Boldger of Lilly Pa. and a guy from Ebensburg Pa in the early 80's. They had cat like reflexes and powerful arms. When you were on first base you looked at two things separately, one eye on second base and the other eye on the pitching battery especially on the catcher; particularly after the pitch was done, the catcher must have carried a grudge against me for making it to first base and was firing rockets any chance they could, with out notice and you were out, in the dugout you'd go. Looking back I have to laugh because I thought I was the treat but it was quit opposite. I miss those days.

3:40 What was going through the runner's mind? It took him a good second or so to even start to react to the pickoff throw. lol
@randomstuff508Ай бұрын
The runner was actually a pitcher who was put in to pinch run. He didn't have alot of experience on the base paths, however, he was fast. You can see that when the pick off was thrown, he was actually looking towards the bag to see how good his lead was. Jomboy actually has a breakdown on this specific instance as well.

6:41 is the only balk I noticed. He starts moving toward home plate before he steps toward first.
@larryp8232Ай бұрын
Same. I would’ve called alot of these balks. Foot on the rubber starting the pitching motion commits you to pitch. Otherwise it’s a balk.

There’s a rule that the defender can’t block the base and I saw some of that too.
@JAlexanderGАй бұрын
@@jerrytaylor4078 pretty sure a lot of these are from before that rule was implemented.
@ftroop8462Ай бұрын
The ones where they wind up and throw with a foot still planted on the rubber are balks if I understand the rule correctly.
